Yet she notes that if addiction is “defined by its persistence in the face of negative consequences” then “how can punishment ever be the most effective solution?” Jamison describes the meetings of ...Alcoholics Anonymous, a scant lit window in the cellar or dark hall, burrows of struggle and solidarity in a world not paying much attention. ...what if that absence of love is linked to an inherent ability to receive and process love, an emotional lack, a born or acquired deficit?” She writes to her sister-in-law, now deep in addiction, in desperation: “please, please, don't think I see this as a moral failure on your part”. Rausing describes her own use of “sleeping pills and Valium” to help her sleep, and her own depression as a “cold claw” that “held me at the throat”.
This article has attempted to shed light on the relationship that Kay Johnson, a rather obscure figure within the Beat movement, had with one of her well-known contemporaries and the impact their ...relationship had on their respective poetry. In doing so, this article has aimed to better understand both Johnson and her place within the avant-garde writing scene to which she belonged. Exploring relationship with Bukowski was an expedient way to do this due to the relative availability of their letters. However, this article has only provided a sketch of their relationship and the creative impact they had on one another. Much more research could be conducted in this respect. However, with most of their correspondence being lost or in private collections, the possibility of this seems unlikely for the foreseeable future. Nevertheless, Johnson's correspondence with other notable figures with the Beat and avant-garde literary scene to which she belonged is available, housed within various archives. Exploring these would help to further the scant scholarship Johnson and help to cement her place within the history of American literature.
Marking its seventieth birthday in Feb 2023, two years after the death of its founder Lawrence Ferlinghetti, City Lights remains one of America' s most celebrated independent bookstores. Equally ...integral to the life of the store is City Lights Publishers, the small press with which it forms a countercultural center and community gathering space for writers, readers, and activists. In 1955, Ferlinghetti launched City Lights Publishers with the Pocket Poets Series, eventually producing over two hundred fiction and nonfiction titles in seven decades, with a dozen or so new books published each year. Specializing in world literature, poetry, and left-wing nonfiction, City Lights has long been associated with its commitment to innovative form and progressive activism, specifically its resistance to censorship and unapologetic antiauthoritarian politics. This bookstore/publisher combination is integral to Ferlinghetti's vision of a "literary meeting place" inspired by Paris's Shakespeare and Company, bringing cutting-edge and emerging writers to everyday readers. "It is as if," he says, "the public were being invited, in person and in books, to participate in that 'great conversation' between authors of all ages, ancient and modern."
Neste texto, procuramos refletir acerca da performance vocal, normalmente chamada recitação ou declamação, pensando-a a partir das materialidades da comunicação e como uma tradução intersemiótica de ...um texto escrito. Em um primeiro momento, usamos os conceitos de Paul Zumthor (1997, 2001) e Walter Ong (2002) acerca da relação entre oralidade e cultura escrita, e passamos deles para uma generalização acerca das materialidades da comunicação, conforme pensadas por Hans Gumbrecht (1998, 1999). Enquanto Gumbrecht se detém sobre as noções de “ritmo”, nosso ponto de estudo será a adição da noção de “timbre”, como característica necessária da performance e absolutamente dependente das materialidades que a determinam, e que a descrição racional e que se quer separada da materialidade consegue no máximo subjugar, passando longe da experiência da mesma. Usamos como exemplo a performance de “The laughing heart”, um poema de Charles Bukowski (2016) recitado por Tom Waits (2006). A performance de Waits transforma o poema de Bukowski, ao mesmo tempo em que o traduz (recodifica) para a materialidade vocal. Embora seja um estudo que não abdica da tradição poetológica, trata-se aqui mais de celebrar a invasão e a “volta para casa” que a voz faz para a poesia, abarcando e ultrapassando as barreiras das análises e da calma da escrita.
This article offers a semiotics reflection on erotic short stories in present-day Spanish literature. It shows how dissatisfaction is one of their distinctive features and becomes a semiotic symptom ...of existential malaise that hinders communication. The reasons for this condition are both literary -relating to Nin, Lawrence, Miller or Bukowski, who problematize eroticism-, and extra-literary -the existential experience of the erotic experience-. Dissatisfaction, however, does not remove the exciting function of these stories, either because of the passages inciting desire in a more specific way or because the negative is assumed in the erotic experience.

Out of Texas is a collection of poems that explores a woman’s journey from childhood to motherhood. Out of the state that shaped her to the distant lands of Southeast Asia, Latin America and Africa, ...the poet roots us in deep familial bonds between mothers and daughters, fathers and children, husbands and wives, sisters and brothers. Those bonds both break and heal the poet as she looks for agency and redemption.

Ardmore Teachers' College (1954) In his letters Rowley often discussed books he was reading or had read, and, in the last few months of his life, it was a great sadness to him to have lost the ...ability to retain what he was reading. ...the same for Lawrence's Sons and Lovers, set in a North of England coal mining town recognisably like my Oruanui timber-mill settlement; more so, as I had just set my mind on a writing career, it gave me hope that a writer could come from a working-class background - a humble, isolated settlement. ...I was reduced to going up to our rubbish dump where they've recently started recycling, and although they did get the odd portable, no they didn't have any at the moment. Interview The self-portrait on the cover of Pikipiko Blues and The Raw Men: Selected Poems I drew either when I was at Ardmore Teachers College or not long after I left in 1954, the year I began writing. ...I'd been bitten by the writing bug, my creative gift had manifested itself in drawing, painting etc.
In psychological and managerial literature, the meaning of work boasts a long tradition; in this topic, scholars and researchers have explored sources of meaning and meaningfulness of the working ...activity in workers' motivations, values, and beliefs. Less attention, however, is given to the function work has in terms of signifier of each individual's personal identity. This article aims at deeply examining the relationship between identity construction and meaning of work, focusing on this theme through the exploration of Charles Bukowski's narrative world. My attention was particularly focused on representations and emotional connotations characterizing the relationship between identity and work, deduced by the content analysis of his literary production. Bukowski's difficult working experience sustainability intersects with the instability scenario of the second postwar period in the United States, recursively affecting the development of a self-reflexive thought around which an idea of oneself could be modeled. In this sense, the author's experience is paradigmatic for the contemporary condition, in so far as today's work experience, deprived of a shared meaning system, negatively influences the meaning attribution process involving one's own life experiences.
