The" are grou.ed, in these pages4 b" genre and su06e%t *atter. The title of the colle%tion derives fro* a verse in he Hidden "ords o# Bahá%u%lláh: O SON OF MAN! I loved thy creation, hence I created thee... The idea that creation is driven b" a pre-e7istin& love of the %reature and of the ver" act of creation itself4 is so*ethin& I 0elieve is understood b" most artists whether the" be writers, .ainters4 s%ul.tors, or musi%ians.

I wrote it in reaction to the cri*inalization of ho*elessness b" a California town tr"in& to prote%t its tourist industr". The name of the town in this novella is fi%tionalized. Bahá’u’lláh, in His volu*inous writin&s4 refers to the poor as .the trust o# /od in your midst,0 and further writes9 $e generous in prosperity, and than)#ul in adversity. $e worthy o# the trust o# thy neighbor, and loo) upon him with a bright and friendly face. Be a treasure to the poor, an admonisher to the rich, an answerer o# the cry o# the needy, a preserver o# the sanctity o# thy pledge. /leanings from the "ritings o# Bahá%u%lláh, . 285 These are the prin%i.les on whi%h m" hand-*e-down town was built. -1- Stu Williams pulled his jac8et across his chest and zi..ed it all the way u. to his chin.

  • The Apocalyptic Book List
    The Apocalyptic Book List Presented by: The Post Apocalyptic Forge Compiled by: Paul Williams ([email protected]) As with other lists compiled by me, this list contains material that is not strictly apocalyptic or post apocalyptic, but that may contain elements that have that fresh roasted apocalyptic feel. Because I have not read every single title here and have relied on other peoples input, you may on occasion find a title that is not appropriate for the intended genre....please do let me know and I will remove it, just as if you find a title that needs to be added...that is appreciated as well. At the end of the main book list you will find lists for select series of books. Title Author 8.4 Peter Hernon 905 Tom Pane 2011, The Evacuation of Planet Earth G.

DOWNES A Final Project submitted to the Campus Alberta Applied Psychology: Counselling Initiative In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF COUNSELLING Alberta August 2006 i ii iii Abstract Songwriting addresses therapy on multiple levels: through the process, product, and experience of songwriting in the context of a therapeutic relationship. A literature review provides the background and rationale for writing a guide to songwriting in therapy. The resource guide illustrates 18 techniques of songwriting in therapy. Each technique includes details regarding salient features, clinical uses, client prerequisites, therapist skills, goals, media and roles, format, preparation required, procedures, data interpretation, and client/group-therapist dynamics. An ethical dilemma illustrates the need for caution when implementing songwriting in therapy. Examples of consent forms are included in the guide. The author concludes by reviewing what he has learned in the process of researching and writing the guide, and evaluates his research. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter I – Songwriting in Therapy………………………………………….………..1 Rationale………………………………………………………………………….……...1 Identifying the Need…………………………………………………………….1 Creating a resource……………………………………………………..………2 Data analysis…………………………………………………………….………2 An ethical question…………………………………………………….………..3 Implications………………………………………………………………………3 Chapter II –Songwriting: A Useful Therapeutic

    RELATIONAL NARRATIVES: CONSTRUCTING MEANING IN CONTEMPORARY LITERATURES IN FRENCH by Rebecca Loescher A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland March, 2017 Abstract The act of narrating permeates daily life: from the tales we tell about our identities to published works of fiction, narratives fundamentally shape human perception. With this in mind, Relational Narratives: Constructing Meaning in Contemporary Literatures in French explores narrative mode as a means for structuring innovative thought-models. Marrying close readings with socio-cultural analyses, it examines relational narrative modes in six works of prose published since the turn of the 1980s: François Bon’s Sortie d’usine (1982), Assia Djebar’s L’Amour, la fantasia (1985), Maryse Condé’s Traversée de la Mangrove (1989), Patrick Chamoiseau’s Texaco (1992), Koffi Kwahulé’s Babyface (2006), and Annie Ernaux’s Les Années (2008). Part One, on narrative voice and temporality, argues that relational narratives bring temporally divergent voices into a single space of resonance. Part Two turns to the portrayal of narrative truths, whether collective, individual, historical, or purely fabricated, as well as to the mixing of genres, which include autobiography, historical realism, testimony, ethnography, and the marvelous. I contend that truth in relational narratives is multiple and shifting, and requires that the reader actively construct meaning. Finally, Part Three examines the political implications of relational narration. First, I show that relational narratives remain fully grounded in specific socio-cultural contexts — or their lieu, the space from which Édouard Glissant contends relation becomes possible.
