Deliciously long lines hang suspended between the holy and the home...This American Israeli poet, teaching, and raising a daughter in the Middle East, acknowledges both the "wreckage of the Byzantine villages" as well as the peril of living in a place where "the antennae at the military base quiver" and where "no one knows what time our daily missile will appear." At the same time, this poet embraces Tel Aviv's quotidian humor writing an ode to the city's garbage collectors whose "clarity" she craves and praising "the season for shedding shoes...every last one of them black." The brilliant cadence of Sulak's poems, "keeping pace with the current" of the Yarkon River along which the poet runs, not only enact, but also celebrate what it means to be alive "in a place where the flowers are old enough to have stories." These poems should be read, perhaps even sung—Sarah Wetzel

The Fault written by Marcela Sulak and has been published by Black Lawrence Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2025-04-15 with Fiction categories.

This novella-in-verse explores the high-stakes minutia of living with other people related by blood and marriage, through fables, ledgers, etymologies. The Fault takes on generational anxiety and blended families while counting costs, grinding axes, and laying bare the joys, dangers and absurdities of domestic intimacy. "Sometimes surging with the dark power of a fairy tale, sometimes verging on surreal, we meet a Step Mother who confides, We are throwing / the new house a party, so it will know who its mommy / and daddy are. Charged with humor, simmering with just-off-kilter antics."—Beth Ann Fennelly "Here, wife and husband meet to fault each other. Truthful surrealisms abound, like landmines or dreams...Sulak wonders if our human faults and gaps are what build a version of love that is gorgeous, sometimes painful, and ultimately more faithful to the love/danger of family making."—Connie Voisine

Poetry. Jewish Studies. On writing CITY OF SKYPAPERS: "CITY OF SKYPAPERS was an effort of daily writing in Tel Aviv for a span of about three years during which time I tried to inhabit and reconcile Jewish sacred time (holidays, Shabbat, daily prayer rituals) with private, social, and civil secular time--two wars with their worries and missiles, explosions, and a sense of solidarity, as well, with beloved friends in Gaza or West Bank, a custody lawsuit, daily small-scale agriculture, running along the Yarkon river, riding public transportation in Tel Aviv and Ramat-Gan, teaching, friendship, love and its disappointments, mothering. It attempts an openness to the daily world, and an attention to these details, charged by an interpenetration of the sacred and the secular, aspirations and reality. I wanted to mimic in writing the way the mind works, the reality its imagination builds, the relationships it creates, among people, objects, and geography. "My technique involved a morning ritual of moving through time in space--running, bussing, urban farming, preparation for Shabbat or holiday or for work, all the while attending to the details of the ritual. I would write down observations, and then, to separate out what was essential, I would place the writing in a poetic form--ottava rima, sonnet, heroic couplet, or syllabic, usually. Sometimes the forms fit, and highlighted the essential. Sometimes the forms did not, and I let them fall, but the exercise was useful in identifying the heart of each piece. Sometimes the routines were disrupted by war, internal travel, bureaucracy gone awry, and other trauma. These provided intense opportunities of observance and attention to the human condition in the worlds we create, and the worlds that were made before we arrived on the scene."

Sacred Sites written by Susan Suntree and has been published by U of Nebraska Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2020-06 with History categories.

A history that is equal parts science and mythology, Sacred Sites offers a rare and poetic vision of a world composed of dynamic natural forces and mythic characters. The result is a singular and memorable account of the evolution of the Southern California landscape, reflecting the riches of both Native knowledge and Western scientific thought. Beginning with Western science, poet Susan Suntree carries readers from the Big Bang to the present as she describes the origins of the universe, the shifting of tectonic plates, and an evolving array of plants and animals that give Southern California its unique features today. She tells of the migration of humans into the region, where they settled, and how they lived. Complementing this narrative and reflecting Native peoples' view of their own history and way of life, Suntree recounts the creation myths and songs that tell the story of the First People and of unforgettable shamans and heroes. Featuring contemporary photographs of rarely seen landmarks along with meticulous research, Sacred Sites provides unusual insight into how natural history and mythology and scientific and intuitive thinking combine to create an ever-deepening sense of a place and its people.

The new world of results-driven aid that could put an end to extreme poverty Drawing on 2 decades covering global development as editor in chief of Devex, Raj Kumar explores how nontraditional models of philanthropy and aid are empowering the world’s poorest people to make progress. Old aid was driven by good intentions and relied on big-budget projects from a few government aid agencies, like the World Bank and USAID. Today, corporations, Silicon Valley start-ups, and billionaire philanthropists are a disrupting force pushing global aid to be data driven and results oriented. This $200 billion industry includes emerging and established foundations like the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Entrepreneurial startups like Hello Tractor, which offers an Uber-like app for farmers in Nigeria, and Give Directly, whose app allows individuals to send money straight to the phone of someone in need, are also giving rise to this new culture of charity. The result is a more sustainable philosophy of aid that elevates the voices of the world’s poor as neighbors, partners, and customers. Refreshing and accessibly written, The Business of Changing the World sets forth a bold vision for how we can use our vote, our voice, and our wallet to turn well-intentioned charity into effective advocacy to transform the world for good. Businesspeople, policymakers, entrepreneurs, nonprofit executives, philanthropists, and aid workers around the world will all be influenced by this transformation.
