(.) ~ This is poetry in the making, its content is developing forming enchanting words and allegorical silhouettes. Quick with wit, angry as disillusioned slaps, words and symbols copulate. Life is eternal and the hunt is its essence! It is the discovery of telltale traces of never drying blood and anonymity where hunter and hunted simply trade places. They are never left alone seeking each other. We are never a l o n e I am always in you as you are in me imaging illusions. ~~~ Alexandre Nodopaka www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 2 1 Minute Silence I thought I'd stop writing my Devil's Advocate rants today.

No door leads in or out. The lad resembles me. He's frightened Because the walls and ceiling And the floor beneath him heaves. They expand and contract Closing in on him as enormous jaws They compress the hot summer air That becomes sanguine red And when the walls spread out Into indistinct infinity or myopic proximity The air thins into rainbow colors And becomes solid and black. When the youth matures into an old man He always remembers this occurrence Every time the rays of the sun Beat perpendicularly on his balding spot. ~~~ Alexandre Nodopaka www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 6 A Banter In My Backyard I spoke to the butterfly telling her I saw a lizard in the middle of April at the edge of my garden and how it was jarred out of its shaded lethargy by the sprinkle issuing from my watering hose and not the traditional mensal showers. The butterfly flitted her wings at me which I interpreted as meaning don't pull my arms, 'They were April showers weren't they? ' but when I looked again at the lizard now basking on the sun-warmed rock the butterfly was gone and I knew what I heard was the air whispering. ~~~ Alexandre Nodopaka www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 7 A Bear In Her Tank Butterfly kisses and teddy bear hugs give life to a love deep and strong. Chubby hands and arms to hold on tight set the beauty of the world to song. Sturdy little feet and a smile for me, keep your butterfly kisses and teddy hugs don't grow on me too soon. Speaking of butterflies, Romeo grown up, with laughter engorged, pulses and inflates his blue-blooded stratum. He vainly hums, which vein thou speak of. Taken aback by such impertinent question, Juliette blushes, leaps over the balcony, which act loosens the tiger in her 32-cylinder tank, convincing her she's a jaguar and he her pray. ~~~ Alexandre Nodopaka www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 8 A Canto: Rama To Sita If you are to be Sita and I Rama Stop anything related to turking Because continuing on a dark path You expect to meet on a lotus blossom But its leaf will not support us Nor be a flying carpet as I shall appear Only a pale reflection of Lakshi And though I act as does Ravana I yearn for the Divine through you Alexandre Nodopaka www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 9 A Cee Dee Cee Is this a micro flash story formatted into segmented lines to give the illusion of poetry or is this a poem accidentally written in prose meant to sound like poetry it was not meant to be ~~~ Alexandre Nodopaka www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 10 A Chinese Tale By God Lei Kun Once upon a time, the Chinese god of thunder, and mind you a full-god unlike Zeus who was the half of him wore his vulture head mask and with the clap of his fake wings startled the crap out of a Geisha with stars in her eyes. Inadvertently she swallowed one because of her love for an at war in China Shogun beau. Save for glimpsing at the blue skinned god in a chariot drawn by six Adonis boys she stopped trying to cough the star out. She gulped her pride and a few stars to boot then kneeled before the naked the boys and signed them with a dewed mirror prompting each to write a deep throat Ku. ~~~ Alexandre Nodopaka www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 11 A Collage For Max Ernst I'm glad you decided to paste art The way you did but do not plan To tell me how to do mine Since I can't live through yours But I'll be doing a few gluings Somewhat like you did yours By chewing flour and Make paste without haste Lick it on scissored papyri cutouts Align my DNA a spit at a time And the only thing I'll worry about Is not to slice my throat On account that paper cuts are More painful than death by sniffing glue Now I sense my lips sufficiently tacky To seal the ending of this stanza By decoupaging a hula dancer Enticing me and a Jesus Sandwiched between lava lamps Into an unholy non-Euclidian trinity And to glue them in a hyperbolic geometry A la Nikolai Lobatchevsky who claimed More than one parallel through a point And a line in space and how Omar Khayam proved that to find A right triangle having the property for The hypotenuse to equal the sum of one Leg plus the altitude of the hypotenuse. ~~~ Alexandre Nodopaka www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 12 A Contemporary Critique About Art I'm troubled by the suggestive complexity of Distinctive formal juxtapositions in this artwork. Its disjunctive perturbations & eloquence make it Difficult to consciously enter this chef d'oeuvre in A manner in which the sublime beauty of the bio- Morphic forms verge on codifying its agitated con- Tent finding this creation remarkable in how it Handles the figurative-narrative line-space matrix By spatially undermining the visual gesture while Abstractly activating critical thinking. As an ad- Vocate of the issue of content, I feel that here at least The suggestion of spatial relationships endangers the Disjunctive perturbation of how disrupting it seems In light of the eloquence of the substructure that Conceptually activates the spatial relationships of the Auto-erotic signifier and appears disturbing in light of How it imperils the artwork from being understood. Of course, the matter of understanding or not is Self-subjective as it will not let itself be pigeonholed Which is solely a psycho-morphic human characteristic. Alexandre Nodopaka www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 13 A Contemporary Poem About Bright Red A woman in bright red shorts flaunts her giggly luscious cheeky rump. She skips and hops towards me with a funny hippy gait.

The purpose of the conference was to discuss the place of reading as a basic communication skill in an increasingly technological society. The papers chosen for this volume discuss (1) the relevance of reading in the face of social and technological revolution,(2) some specific means of meeting the reading needs of society through two kinds of reading programs--paraprofessional instructors (Women's Talent Corps) and industrial reading improvement programs (General Motors), and (3)some possible directions which reading might be expected to take with increasing societal change. Reactions to several of the papers by those attending the conference are included immediately following the papers, and the volume ends with some concluding remarks which summarize the conference.

  • Transantiquity
    TransAntiquity TransAntiquity explores transgender practices, in particular cross-dressing, and their literary and figurative representations in antiquity. It offers a ground-breaking study of cross-dressing, both the social practice and its conceptualization, and its interaction with normative prescriptions on gender and sexuality in the ancient Mediterranean world. Special attention is paid to the reactions of the societies of the time, the impact transgender practices had on individuals’ symbolic and social capital, as well as the reactions of institutionalized power and the juridical systems. The variety of subjects and approaches demonstrates just how complex and widespread “transgender dynamics” were in antiquity. Domitilla Campanile (PhD 1992) is Associate Professor of Roman History at the University of Pisa, Italy. Filippo Carlà-Uhink is Lecturer in Classics and Ancient History at the University of Exeter, UK.

  • El Llegat Dels Germans Grimm En El Segle Xxi: Del Paper a La Pantalla Emili Samper Prunera Universitat Rovira I Virgili [email protected]
    El llegat dels germans Grimm en el segle xxi: del paper a la pantalla Emili Samper Prunera Universitat Rovira i Virgili [email protected] Resum Les rondalles que els germans Grimm van recollir als Kinder- und Hausmärchen han traspassat la frontera del paper amb nombroses adaptacions literàries, cinema- togràfiques o televisives. La pel·lícula The brothers Grimm (2005), de Terry Gilli- am, i la primera temporada de la sèrie Grimm (2011-2012), de la cadena NBC, són dos mostres recents d’obres audiovisuals que han agafat les rondalles dels Grimm com a base per elaborar la seva ficció. En aquest article s’analitza el tractament de les rondalles que apareixen en totes dues obres (tenint en compte un precedent de 1962, The wonderful world of the Brothers Grimm), així com el rol que adopten els mateixos germans Grimm, que passen de creadors a convertir-se ells mateixos en personatges de ficció. Es recorre, d’aquesta manera, el camí invers al que han realitzat els responsables d’aquestes adaptacions: de la pantalla (gran o petita) es torna al paper, mostrant quines són les rondalles dels Grimm que s’han adaptat i de quina manera s’ha dut a terme aquesta adaptació. Paraules clau Grimm, Kinder- und Hausmärchen, The brothers Grimm, Terry Gilliam, rondalla Summary The tales that the Grimm brothers collected in their Kinder- und Hausmärchen have gone beyond the confines of paper with numerous literary, cinematographic and TV adaptations. The film The Brothers Grimm (2005), by Terry Gilliam, and the first season of the series Grimm (2011–2012), produced by the NBC network, are two recent examples of audiovisual productions that have taken the Grimm brothers’ tales as a base on which to create their fiction.

  • Hipster Black Metal?
    Hipster Black Metal? Deafheaven’s Sunbather and the Evolution of an (Un) popular Genre Paola Ferrero A couple of months ago a guy walks into a bar in Brooklyn and strikes up a conversation with the bartenders about heavy metal. The guy happens to mention that Deafheaven, an up-and-coming American black metal (BM) band, is going to perform at Saint Vitus, the local metal concert venue, in a couple of weeks. The bartenders immediately become confrontational, denying Deafheaven the BM ‘label of authenticity’: the band, according to them, plays ‘hipster metal’ and their singer, George Clarke, clearly sports a hipster hairstyle. Good thing they probably did not know who they were talking to: the ‘guy’ in our story is, in fact, Jonah Bayer, a contributor to Noisey, the music magazine of Vice, considered to be one of the bastions of hipster online culture. The product of that conversation, a piece entitled ‘Why are black metal fans such elitist assholes?’ was almost certainly intended as a humorous nod to the ongoing debate, generated mainly by music webzines and their readers, over Deafheaven’s inclusion in the BM canon. The article features a promo picture of the band, two young, clean- shaven guys, wearing indistinct clothing, with short haircuts and mild, neutral facial expressions, their faces made to look like they were ironically wearing black and white make up, the typical ‘corpse-paint’ of traditional, early BM. It certainly did not help that Bayer also included a picture of Inquisition, a historical BM band from Colombia formed in the early 1990s, and ridiculed their corpse-paint and black cloaks attire with the following caption: ‘Here’s what you’re defending, black metal purists.
