FREE LOVE & SLEEP PDF John Crowley | 510 pages | 29 Jan 2008 | Overlook Press | 9781590200155 | English | United Kingdom Love & Sleep - Wikipedia I like my wife very much, and I operate under the assumption that she likes me, but our past few months have been made immeasurably better by the manner in which, come nightfall, she and I have nothing to do with each other. For years I would lie awake beside my wife and Love & Sleep at her perpetual pillow-shuffling, the icy light of her Words with Friends game, and, most significantly, her alarm clock, which announced itself every morning at A. She, meanwhile, suffered through a partner—i. Our nightly war fueled a mutual resentment that welled up like water in a dam. Then, one morning, everything burst. What defense did I have? Speaking as someone who routinely wakes himself up snoring, I can barely sleep with me. This was threat-level-red, save-the-relationship stuff. That evening we returned to the table, poured two glasses of wine, and made a decision: Under no circumstances would we sleep together again. This was a marked improvement over her previous morning approach, which was glaring at me while brutalizing the bathroom cabinet doors. Nor could we explain how the profoundly insane idea of joint sleeping got to be the societal norm. Plausible explanations include financial pressures as one bed is cheaper than two and fear of the dark which contains thieves and werewolvesbut as best I can figure, most people sleep together for the same reason they become Chicago Bears fans or get back into vinyl: the pull of tradition. In fact, one study says that Love & Sleep percent of adult couples have Love & Sleep sleep-divorced. And while cuddly newlyweds may enjoy the primal comfort of an adjacent body, we after 16 years of Love & Sleep are not such people. Our unsentimental arrangement has radically improved our moods, empathy centers, and circadian rhythms, and thus our marriage. Sleeping in separate Love & Sleep has actually made us more intimate. Netflix is a very real question. Finally free of sleep-deprived crankiness, we now have the energy to try new restaurants and vanish for no-kids weekends. We end our days walking or sitting or lying together, and Love & Sleep we retire to our rooms, text good-nights with idiotic bitmojis, sleep like infants, wake up 7.

    LATIN AMERICAN LANGUAGE POETRY, THEMES AND TECHNIQUES: A RENEWAL OF POETIC DISCOURSE IN POST-MILLENNIUM AUTHORS A Dissertation by NANCY W. DE HONORES Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Eduardo Espina Co-Chair of Committee, Stephen Miller Committee Members, Alain Lawo-Sukam J. Lawrence Mitchell Head of Department, María Irene Moyna August 2017 Major Subject: Hispanic Studies Copyright 2017 Nancy W. De Honores ABSTRACT Latin American Language Poetry, Themes and Techniques: A Renewal of Poetic Discourse in Post-Millennium Authors provides a study of Latin American poetry with works from the second half of the 20th and first two decades of the 21st Centuries. This study analyzes the works of David Rosenmann-Taub (Chile 1927), José Kozer (Cuba 1940), and José Morales Saravia (Perú 1954) to reveal the themes and techniques they utilize as tools in their labors. On the lyrical and literary level, the investigation provides a briefing of sound, identity, and the anabatic or ascension theory in relationship with their works and post-contemporary sociocultural endeavors. Additionally, it focusses on the new approaches and paths they take within their poetic styles and the new elements and components that characterize their works. While these poets are now considered under the Neobaroque style, their approach based on the crafting and molding of language accommodates their works under the umbrella of “Post-Millenium Latin American Language Poetics.” This fact renews poetic discourse in the field. The research establishes a theoretical frame to study the themes and techniques.

    Brimstone Flowers: Towards an Antipodean Poetics of Space LAURA JOSEPH A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy UNSW Submitted for examination August 2010 Abstract This thesis contends that the ancient topos of the antipodes offers a productive means of reconceptualising location in an age characterized by increasingly global and virtual concepts of space. I demonstrate through analysis of range of literary texts that the location offered by the antipodes is neither a simple return to the premodern, nor the apprehension of a coherent, linear succession of times and places, but rather a realization of the simultaneity of these. The texts I analyse, diverse in historical and geographic location as well as mode and genre, are all produced in and associated with key moments of modernity. Comparing these texts that range across early- modern, colonial and postmodern (specifically post 9/11) historical moments, I map the tropological function of antipodean space as it pertains to identity and inhabitation. As a real and imagined space where geographic location and classical and Judeo-Christian cosmologies collide, representations of the antipodes are circumscribed by a metaphorics of classical and biblical underworlds. I demonstrate that these tropisms are key to relationships between the imaginative operations of antipodean space, transformations in the geographic imaginary and the emergence of particular formations of subjectivity. Showing how contemporary antipodean fiction uses the tropisms of the past to make sense of what Bill Brown has called a moment of temporal, spatial and ideological “bewilderment” in Western thought, I examine how literature both informs and responds to dilemmas of real and symbolic location.
