Adrienne Rich on Love, Loss, Public vs. Private Happiness, and the Creative Process. We recently lost beloved poet, essayist, feminist, and MacArthur “genius” Adrienne Rich. After last week’s beautiful reading of her 1968 poem “Gabriel,” I revisited the wonderful PennSound archive at the Kelly Writers House, my alma mater, which houses an extensive collection of Rich poetry readings, conversations, and interviews. Below, I’ve edited several excerpts from a 2005 discussion revealing a rare glimpse of Rich’s creative process and her relationship with art, love, and loss. Rich adds to history’s finest definitions of art: One of the great functions of art is to help us imagine what it is like to be not ourselves, what it is like to be someone or something else, what it is like to live in another skin, what it is like to live in another body, and in that sense to surpass ourselves, to go out beyond ourselves.
On love and loss as the foundation of all art: On public vs. private happiness: On her creative process, echoing Twilight Zone creator Rod Serling on where ideas come from: Personalised children's books | Lost My Name. The Woody Allen Interview (Which He Won’t Read) “People often have said, ‘Gee, you live in a bubble’ - and maybe I do,” admits Woody Allen as he settles into an armchair inside his private screening room on New York’s Upper East Side.
A creature of habit, he has been watching movies (and taking meetings) in this somber little theater for the past 35 years. “I get up in the morning,” he says, “take the kids to school, then do the treadmill, then get into my room and work, have lunch, go back and work, practice the clarinet, see friends or go to a basketball game. It’s a bourgeois, middle-class worker’s life. But it’s enabled me to be productive over the years.” Productive is putting it mildly. Right on schedule, Allen is about to bring his 47th picture to Cannes - Cafe Society, a coming-of-age tale set in the 1930s about a young man (Jesse Eisenberg) who moves from New York to Hollywood, where he lands a job with a big-time agent (Steve Carell) and falls in love with a pretty assistant (Kristen Stewart). You’re 80 now. Yes and no. No. Duck, Death and the Tulip: An Uncommonly Tender Illustrated Meditation on the Cycle of Life.
“Death is our friend precisely because it brings us into absolute and passionate presence with all that is here, that is natural, that is love,” Rilke wrote in contemplating how befriending our morality can help us feel more alive. Nearly a century later, John Updike echoed this sentiment: “Each day, we wake slightly altered, and the person we were yesterday is dead. So why, one could say, be afraid of death, when death comes all the time?” And yet however poetic this notion might be, it remains one of the hardest for us to befriend and reconcile with our irrepressible impulse for aliveness. How, then, are those only just plunging into the lush river of life to confront the prospect of its flow’s cessation? The German children’s book author and illustrator Wolf Erlbruch offers a wonderfully warm and assuring answer in Duck, Death and the Tulip (public library) — a marvelous addition to the handful of intelligent and imaginative children’s books about death and loss.

Kürthy Ádám András | Nem is olyan régen nagy szenzációt okozott egy angol nyelvű toplista a legviccesebb magyar kifejezésekről. Sokan berzenkedtek is ellene, mondván, hogy a cikk hamis képet fest a magyar nyelvről, mert leggyakrabban nem is így fejezzük ki magunkat. Tehát ne csodálkozzunk, ha nem a következő a 17 spanyol kifejezést halljuk majd meg először, amint kiszállunk a repülőgépből a madridi Barajason – és azon se, ha ez a 17 véletlenül nem is 17 lesz!

9 cosas que un tatuaje podría decir de ti. 1. Que no tienes la necesidad de encajar con el resto No te importa lo que esté “de moda” o lo que esté “pasando”, de hecho, prefieres distinguirte de la multitud. Te encanta ser diferente y distanciarte de la manada. 2. Que eres individual Ni los diseños sobre tu cuerpo, ni las ideas en tu cabeza podrían ser replicadas por otra persona. Eres diferente y eso es algo que se puede presentir con tan solo mirarte. 3. Hacerse un tatuaje es bastante doloroso. 4. La decisión de tatuarse no es algo fácil ya que es para toda la vida. 5. No te preocupa lo que cualquier persona piense sobre de ti e irradias esta vibra desde todos tus diferentes y bastante atrevidos tatuajes. 6. Crees firmemente en un amplio rango de tópicos distintos y, a modo de tributo, con frecuencia te lo tatuarás en el cuerpo. 7. No ves los tatuajes como un simple adorno, sino que como una forma de expresión artística. 8.

He’s also a dad, which means he’s got plenty of inspiration for the parenting comics he creates for his website, Fowl Language (only a few of which actually feature any profanity). He covers many topics, but it’s his hilarious parenting comics that are resonating with moms and dads everywhere. “My comics are largely autobiographical,” Gordon told me. “I’ve got two kids who are four and seven, and often, what I’m writing happened as recently as that very same day.”
Gordon shared 15 of his oh-so-real comics with us. Let’s get started with his favorite, called ” Welcome to Parenting,” which Gordon says sums up his comics pretty well. Truth. I hope you enjoy these as much as I did. I love Gordon’s comics so much because they’re just about the reality of parenting — and they capture it perfectly. There’s no parenting advice, no judgment — just some humor about the common day-to-day realities that we all share.

Orphaned Seal Returns To Ocean After Being Rescued ... By Cows. This little seal has had a bizarre string of adventures since she last saw her ocean home — but now she's finally back where she belongs, thanks to a curious group of cows. Celebration the seal pup was just a few days old when she became separated from her mother back in July. Surprisingly, it wasn't humans who found her. Celebration wound up stuck in the mud in the U.K.'s Frampton Marsh nature reserve, where a herd of 30 cows found her and gathered around to investigate the strange new arrival. Ian Ellis was bird-watching when he spotted the unusual grouping of cows. Rescuers quickly arrived on the scene and, when it became clear her mother was nowhere to be found, they took the little pup in for care. But she found a temporary home at Skegness Natureland Seal Sanctuary, which helped to raise her and provided medical care for her infection.
Since then, Celebration has been focusing on the one job a young seal pup has: eating as much as possible. Natureland Seal Sanctuary. MARIEKE VAN DER VELDEN. Reading Across Borders | Kirkus Reviews. I’ve got in front of me a stack of Fall 2015 picture-book imports, as well as books that were first published here in the U.S. but were written and/or illustrated by those from other countries.

Nagybátyjától hallotta először a „múmintroll” szót még a harmincas években, amikor rajtakapta őt, amint édességet csen a kamrából. „Én a helyedben óvakodnék a múmintrollokról – mondta a bácsi. – Ott rejtőzködnek az éléskamrában és csak arra várnak, hogy megjelenj, aztán rád fújnak és a lábadhoz dörzsölik jéghideg orrukat. A tolvaj annyira reszket az érintésüktől, hogy mindenki látni fogja: lopott az éléskamrából.” A félig humoros feddés szöget ütött Tove fejébe, le is rajzolta a naplójában a szóban forgó trollt. Ám a múminok nem kerültek újra elő egészen a negyvenes évekig. Akkor viszont róluk nevezte el legújabb figuráit, a mókás, fehér vízilovakra hasonlító múminokat. Az alaptörténet egyszerű: a múminok Múminvölgy közepén élnek, s barátaikkal meg a náluk megszálló vendégekkel a legőrültebb kalandokat élik át. Az első kötet sikerét látva Jansson tágította a múminuniverzumot, mind alaposabban kidolgozva az egyre sokasodó szereplők jellemét.
