    Poetry Series James Casey - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive James Casey(11June 1940) His box fell open and his rambling words did fall Upon the bits of paper, were written things for all Words that were just hidden, somewhere deep inside, Now come to the surface, nowhere left to hide There is a meaning for each line, Search and you shall find it in the rhyme Please don't rush it, don't be blind. Read them slowly, and use your mind He often wonders, how long his poems will last Someday soon, he knows, death will make the box be clasped; His words will then be trapped inside once more Until the box falls and words are scattered on the floor He always questions, never just rides the tide It makes him vulnerable to things he kept inside Forever will he write them, forever will they say Who wrote the words that fell, from within the Box that day. Born to a dysfunctional family in 1940 he had somewhat of a normal childhood until the age of 10 years. His parents divorced and the family was split up. The oldest son went to live with his father, the two girls stayed with their mother and Jim was sent to an orphanage. Jim went from one orphanage to another as they closed down and when he finished junior high school, he was placed in a foster home He graduated high school in 1959 and immediately went into the Navy where he was a Medical Corpsman until he was honorably discharged.

To a limited extent Freud's theories, interpreted by Norman 0. Brown, on the state of infantile poly­ morphous perversity and the subsequent repression of the in­ fantile experience of pleasure will be examined as an aid to understanding the complex sexual ordeal experienced by the Narrator under the supervision of his friend, F.

    Download from:aghalibrary.com Download from:aghalibrary.com Download from:aghalibrary.com "Leaves one gasping for breath as well as suitable words...Cohen is a powerful, poetic writer." –Dallas Times-Herald As imagined by Leonard Cohen, hell is an apartment in Montreal, where a bereaved and lust-tormented narrator reconstructs his relations with the dead. In that hell two men and a woman twine impossibly and betray one another again and again. Memory blurs into blasphemous sexual fantasy–and redemption takes the form of an Iroquois saint and virgin who has been dead for all of 300 years but still has the power to save even the most degraded of her suitors. First published in 1966, Beautiful Losers demonstrates that its author is not only a superb songwriter but also a novelist of visionary power. Funny, harrowing, and fiercely moving, it is a classic erotic tragedy, incandescent in its prose and exhilarating for its risky union of sexuality and faith. "Brilliant, explosive, a fountain of talent...James Joyce is not dead.... He lives in Montreal under the name of Cohen...writing from the point of view of Henry Miller." –Boston Sunday Herald Leonard Cohen was born in Montreal in 1934. While attending McGill University he formed a country western trio called the Buckskin Boys, and published his first book of poetry, Let Us Compare Mythologies. Seven other collections of poetry, two novels, and eleven albums followed. His most recent book is Stranger Music. BOOKS Let Us Compare Mythologies 1956 The Spice-Box of Earth 1961 The Favourite Game

  • A Deadly Shade of Gold
    A Deadly Shade Of Gold Travis McGee 05 John D. MacDonald One A SMEAR of fresh blood has a metallic smell. It smells like freshly sheared copper. It is a clean and impersonal smell, quite astonishing the first time you smell it. It changes quickly, to a fetid, fudgier smell, as the cells die and thicken. When it is the blood of a stranger, there is an atavistic withdrawal, a toughening of response, a wary reluctance for any involvement. When it is your own, you want to know how bad it is. You turn into a big inward ear, listening to yourself, waiting for faintness, wondering if this is going to be the time when the faintness comes and turns into a hollow roaring, and sucks you down. Please not yet. Those are the three eternal words. Please not yet. When it is the blood of a friend.... When maybe he said, Please not yet.... But it took him and he went on down.... It was a superb season for girls on the Lauderdale beaches. There are good years and bad years. This, we all agreed, was a vintage year. They were blooming on all sides, like a garden out of control. It was a special type this year, particularly willowy ones, with sun-streaky hair, soft little sunbrown noses, lazed eyes in the cool pastel shades of green and blue, cat yawny ones, affecting a boredom belied by glints of interest and amusement, smilers rather than gigglers, with a tendency to run in little flocks of three and four and five.
