The Face in the Well - Rebecca Watts

In her vibrant third collection, Rebecca Watts shines a light on the tender, spontaneous, creative and creaturely aspects of the self, and asks how we might nurture and shield these from the many physical, psychological and social forces predisposed to keep them down.Wearing a variety of costumes, or none at all, the characters in these dramatic poems play hide-and-seek, guarding their vulnerabilities while yearning for greater connection with others and the world. Animals, as totems and spirit guides, swim, run and fly across the pages. Children tiptoe and improvise their way through landscapes designed to curtail and bewilder them. Adults curate their own funerals, befriend spiders, try to love each other, and go to war. Poets and other heroes – Brontë , Heaney, Plath, Yeats, Mary Poppins – are confronted, reflected, refracted and left echoing anew.

Out of the Saltshaker and into the World - Rebecca Manley Pippert

Across the centuries, as people have considered their individual and social needs, many solutions for transforming human existence have been offered — psychological, political and religious. However, the New Testament claims that genuine and lasting change can only be found in Jesus Christ. The transformation he makes possible is spiritual, moral and physical, bringing us ultimately to share in his resurrection from death in a new creation. Foundational to this teaching is the promise of 'a new covenant' in Jeremiah 31:31-34 and in parallel predictions in Ezekiel and Isaiah. In this valuable new study, David Peterson expounds Jeremiah's oracle and its significant influence on the way New Testament writers understand transformation in Christ. The definitive forgiveness of sins achieved by his sacrificial death brings a new knowledge or experience of God and his grace, which transforms hearts and minds, leading to a new devotion to God and obedience to his will. In this way, the people of the New Covenant are established in an eternal relationship with God and a renewed community that embraces every nation. In terms of the Bible's teaching as a whole, the New Covenant fulfils and perfects the covenant first established by God with Abraham and ... Unknown localization key: "more"

An Analysis of Sandra M. Gilbert and Susan Gubar's The Madwoman in the Attic - Rebecca Pohl

The 1979 publication of Susan Gubar and Sandra M. Gilbert’s ground-breaking study The Madwoman in the Attic marked a founding moment in feminist literary history as much as feminist literary theory. In their extensive study of nineteenth-century women’s writing, Gubar and Gilbert offer radical re-readings of Jane Austen, the Brontës, Emily Dickinson, George Eliot and Mary Shelley tracing a distinctive female literary tradition and female literary aesthetic. Gubar and Gilbert raise questions about canonisation that continue to resonate today, and model the revolutionary importance of re-reading influential texts that may seem all too familiar

Griselda the Green Gazelle - David Loyd

There is never a quiet day for Griselda the Green Gazelle. First, she and her friends have to track down the people who turned her green. That requires help from Eldred the eagle and Ethelred the Elephant, all the animals hate the polluters of the veldt. Griselda introduces her friends, amongst them Hieronymus the Hippopotamus, Century, a Meercat, Clytemnestra the vegetarian cheetah and Charlie the Choc Croc. She is stalked by Methuselah the lion and nearly caught by Disgustive the hyena and his gang. Victor the vulture rescues her after a trek to the hills goes wrong. Then Griselda and her best friend Luca, a very small lesser bush baby, have trouble in the forest. The animals deal with human visitors to the reserve in various ways. It depends how well the humans behave. Littering is very bad, but the park wardens are respected for good work. And then there is the annual animal parliament to be organised. Rule one - no one is to eat anyone else during the proceedings. Finally, Christmas is coming, and Griselda is put in charge of arrangements.
