But even if the word is unusual, and even if you use it differently when you repeat it, don't: Set a higher standard for yourself even if readers won't notice. "Victoria's blue gaze abraded me with the texture of ground glass." page 202 "... The same goes for repeats of several words together - a phrase or sentence that may seem fresh at first, but, restated many times, draws attention from the author's strengths. "His tone oozes self-righteousness when he says..." page 188 "His voice is barely audible when he says..." page 193 "His tone is unapologetic when he says..." page 199 "Rosie keeps her tone even when she says..." page 200 "His tone is even when he says..." page 205 "I switch to my lawyer voice when I say ..." page 211 "He sounds like Grace when he says..." page 211 What a tragedy. 2. 3.
Um Poema por Semana, RTP 2 - RTP! Um Poema por Semana terminou e Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen, Cesário Verde, Ruy Belo, Fernando Pessoa, Miguel Torga, Sá de Miranda, António Nobre, Alexandre O'Neill, Luís Vaz de Camões, Jorge de Sena, José Régio, David Mourão Ferreira, António Gedeão, Eugénio de Andrade, Mário Cesariny foram os poetas que entraram pela nossa casa durante 75 dias. Cada poema durou uma semana e contou com 75 diseurs, um por dia: homens e mulheres, novos e velhos, portugueses e brasileiros e angolanos e italianos falantes de português. Todos eles declamaram o poema à sua maneira, de forma mais ou menos extensa, mais rápida ou mais lenta, a sorrir e a cantar ou quase a chorar. Todos contribuíram com um pouco de si e mostraram-nos o que estava escrito nas entrelinhas, espalhando sonho e inspiração, que o público caracterizou de "um oásis no deserto". Paralelamente à emissão decorreram várias iniciativas, desde a mostra de vídeos de slam poetry até à música.
Trouver des photos gratuites pour illustrer son blog Trouver des photos pour illustrer un site web est extrêmement simple sur le web. Qui n’a jamais récupéré un visuel trouvé grâce à Google ? Oui mais voilà, il existe un revers à la médaille que beaucoup ignorent, consciemment ou pas : les images ont toujours un propriétaire. Heureusement, il est encore possible de trouver ce qu’on cherche sans avoir à craindre les représailles d’un photographe, qu’il soit professionnel ou amateur. Si le terme « gratuit » est simple à comprendre, l’expression « libre de droits » est par contre plus complexe. Enfin, on fait habituellement la différence entre une exploitation commerciale ou privée : il sera plus facile de trouver des visuels et de s’en servir pour un blog personnel que pour un site corporate. Google Images : le plus simple Google est le moteur de recherche le plus connu et le plus utilisé. En résumé, utiliser des images trouvées sur Google dans un but commercial ou privé se fera à vos risques et périls ! Photo-libre : le plus légal Et aussi…
Writers, Quotes, Biography, Poetry, Fiction, Artists - Paris Review Purchase this Issue $15.00 Michael Holroyd on the art of biography: “I believe in private life for the living, and I think that when one is dead one should be a little bit bolder, so that the rest of us may have some record of how things actually were.” And Hermione Lee: “Some cynical biographer said to me, Make sure it’s a good death. Make sure you’re not picking someone who just declined.” Imre Kertész on the art of fiction: “Perhaps I’m being impertinent, but I feel that my work has a rare quality—I tried to depict the human face of this history, I wanted to write a book that people would actually want to read.” New fiction from Lydia Davis, Ben Lerner, Robert Walser, Gillian Linden, David Gates, and Emma Cline, an essay by Kristin Dombek, and the winner of the NPR Three-Minute Fiction Contest.

Viagens Literárias Stanley Moss Stanley Moss was educated at Trinity College (Connecticut) and Yale University and makes his living as a private art dealer, specializing in Spanish and Italian Old Masters. As a child he visited Europe with his family, and after serving in World War II he taught English in Barcelona and Rome, where he became familiar with the religious and mythical figures that appear in his work. He is the critically acclaimed author of The Skull of Adam (1979), The Intelligence of Clouds (1989), Asleep in the Garden (1997), A History of Color (2003), New and Selected Poems (2006), Rejoicing (2009), and God Breaketh Not All Men's Hearts Alike (2011). Poet and critic Hayden Carruth has been quoted as saying, “The poetry of the ages is an argument with God, but few poets have picked up that argument in recent years. Stanley Moss does.” In 1977 Moss founded Sheep Meadow Press, a nonprofit press devoted to poetry, with a particular focus on international poets in translation. Biography
Estúdio Raposa » Palavras de Ouro Palavras 163 – “Sétimo aniversário” 16.07.2012 | Produção e voz: Luís Gaspar Nem sempre os aniversários do Estúdio Raposa foram comemorados, vá lá saber-se porquê. Alguns foram esquecidos, outros, quase que famosos, especialmente aquele em que se ouviu uma entrevista com o Pai Natal. Vou comemorar este 7º aniversário – atenção à simbologia do sete – em duas vertentes: confissões e gostos. Uma das questões que me foram colocadas e às quais não respondi, digamos, abertamente, foi de que forma escolho os textos que leio. E então, não tem colaboradores? Outra coisa são as três pessoa que tiveram grande importância no nascimento e desenvolvimento do Estúdio Raposa e que, talvez, eu nunca tenha destacado com o ênfase merecido. Mas, vamos à poesia. No plaino abandonado Que a morna brisa aquece, De balas trespassado Duas de lado a lado Jaz morto, e arrefece. Raia-lhe a farda o sangue. Tão jovem! Caiu-lhe da algibeira A cigarreira breve. Meto as mãos nas algibeiras e não encontro nada. Adeus.
36 Writing Essays by Chuck Palahniuk 1: Establishing Your Authority Chuck teaches two principal methods for building a narrative voice your readers will believe in. Discover the Heart Method and the Head Method and how to employ each to greatest effect. 2: Developing a Theme At the core of Minimalism is focusing any piece of writing to support one or two major themes. 3: Using “On-The-Body” Physical Sensation Great writing must reach both the mind and the heart of your reader, but to effectively suspend reality in favor of the fictional world, you must communicate on a physical level, as well. 4: Submerging the “I” First-person narration, for all its immediacy and power, becomes a liability if your reader can't identify with your narrator. 5: Nuts and Bolts: Hiding a Gun Sometimes called "plants and payoffs" in the language of screenwriters, Hiding a Gun is an essential skill to the writer's arsenal that university writing courses almost never touch upon. 6: Nuts and Bolts: “Thought” Verbs 8: Nuts and Bolts: Using Choruses
