Editorial Review Product Description Fugitive Pieces is a book about memory and forgetting. How is it possible to love the living when our hearts are still with the dead? What is the difference between what historical fact tells us and what we remember? More than that, the novel is a meditation on the power of language to free our souls and allow us to find our own destinies. Customer Reviews (154)

Interstices
A companion volume to 'Fugitive Pieces'? I know of no encyclopedia that can match Michael's liquid turn of phrase, however. Michaels' words fill one's mouth like cold plums: they have a crisp earthy simplicity yet gloriously ooze at the bite. The underlying theme of many of the poems, as in 'Fugitive Pieces', is the struggle to accept the absurdity of the human condition: the manner in which we are nourished by love, and crave it, yet are inevitably crippled by it when a loved one dies. As Michaels writes in the poem 'Memorium': "The dead leave us starving with mouths full of love...We are orphaned, one by one". The verse which comprise 'Poems' were originally published in three separate volumes over the space of 13 years, and Michaels has clearly developed her voice in this time. While the earlier poems of `The Weight of Oranges' are taught and linear, there is something less hurried about the latter poems of `Skin Divers'. One experiences the sublime sustained pause between the black marks on her page, which contributes depth to her lyric (to coin a musical metaphor which Michaels might well appreciate given her fascination with the piano and the secrets which its playing reveals). The difference between the earlier poems and the latter can be explained by the poet's confidence to dwell a little longer in the image, to explore its possibilities, and to play with cadence and sound. Each of the poems share, however, Michaels' admirable ability to make the everyday remarkable. She writes of salt, stone and peat, and of mistaking the sea for the sky (in the poem 'Near Ashdod'), yet enables these objects to articulate the yearnings of the human heart. At other times, she finds words and images to articulate the extraordinary - the horrific and ethereal - in terms with which the reader can readily identify. Thus we come to know the psychological scars of a Holocaust survivor and the mind of a Nobel Prize winning physicist mourning her husband. Michaels brings alive events and people - poets, writers, painters, and mathematicians - who have long been dead and makes them breathe again. It is for this reason that I asked my History students to read 'Fugitive Pieces', and will have no hestitation in recommending that they delve into Anne Michaels' book of Poems. ... Read more |

6. The Times And Trials Of Anne Hutchinson: Puritans Divided (Landmark Law Cases & American Society) by Michael P. Winship | |

Editorial Review Product Description During the 1630s, religious controversies drove a wedge into the puritan communities of Massachusetts. Anne Hutchinson and other members began to speak out against mainstream doctrine, while ministers like John Cotton argued for personal discovery of salvation. The puritan fathers viewed these activities as a direct and dangerous threat to the status quo and engaged in a fierce and finally successful fight against them. Refusing to disavow her beliefs, Hutchinson was put on trial twice-first for slandering the colony's ministers, then for heresy-and banished from the colony. Combing archives for neglected manuscripts and ancient books for obscure references, Winship gives new voice to other characters in the drama whose significance has not previously been understood. Here are Thomas Shepard, a militant heresy hunter who vigorously pursued both Cotton and Hutchinson; Thomas Dudley, the most important leader in Massachusetts after Governor John Winthrop; Henry Vane, a well-connected supporter of radical theology; and John Wheelwright, a bellicose minister who was a lightning rod for the frustrations of other dissidents. Winship also analyzes the political struggle that almost destroyed the colony and places Hutchinson's trials within the context of this turmoil. As Winship shows, although the trials of Anne Hutchinson and her allies were used ostensibly to protect Massachusetts' Christian society, they instead nearly tore it apart. His concise, fast-moving, and up-to-date account brings puritan doctrine back into focus, giving us a much closer and more informed look at a society marked by religious intolerance and immoderation, one that still echoes in our own times. As long as governments take it upon themselves to define orthodoxies of conscience, The Times and Trials of Anne Hutchinson will be required reading for students and concerned citizens alike. This book is part of the Landmark Law Cases and American Society series. Customer Reviews (3)

Editorial Review Product Description This Bookclub-in-a-Box discussion companion to Anne Michael’s novel Fugitive Pieces is as hard to put down as the novel. Each descriptive passage in the novel is a poem to be savored and our guide is a full and innovative interpretation of its symbols and images. The guide offers a unique perspective on the characters, their actions and interactions, and to the meanings they take from life and death. Michaels sets her novel during and after WWII, linking the stories of two men – Jakob and Ben – both of whom are lost and found through love. Both seek faith and love as redemptive forces for a damaged soul. We travel with Jakob from Greece to Canada, and with Ben, we return from Canada to Greece, a full and rounded trip. The Holocaust is not a new or untold story, but Michaels believes that a fresh approach is necessary. She feels strongly that the story should continue to be told and that it is renewed with each telling. Readers should take Michaels’ trip into the past and bring out of it a positive message of hope for the future – another rounded trip. Bookclub-in-a-Box investigates the following ideas and themes in Fugitive Pieces, helping you: - Discover how the title, Fugitive Pieces, with its many levels of meaning is applied to the themes of the novel. - Follow Anne Michaels as she takes us back through "vertical" time (not linear time). - Become breathless with the beauty and poetry of Michael’s descriptions. - Come away from this novel with a renewed and positive feeling of anticipation for the future, an antidote to other perspectives of the Holocaust and the devastation of war. Every Bookclub-in-a-Box discussion guide includes complete coverage of themes, symbols, writing style, as well as interesting and little known background information on the novel and the author – plus a complementary RAG (Read-Alongside-Guide), a quick-reference pamphlet with fascinating facts and questions to consider while reading the novel. The Bookclub-in-a-Box discussion guide for Fugitive Pieces is no exception! |

Editorial Review Product Description By recreating one of the most tumultuous and significant episodes in early American history, The Trial of Anne Hutchinson: Liberty, Law, and Intolerance in Puritan New England illustrates the struggle between the followers and allies of John Winthrop, Governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony, and those of Anne Hutchinson, a strong-willed and brilliant religious dissenter. Part of the “Reacting to the Past” series, this text consists of elaborate games in which students are assigned roles, informed by classic texts, set in particular moments of intellectual and social ferment. The game unfolds amidst a controversy that pushed Massachusetts to the brink of collapse and spurred a larger historical process that led to religious freedom and the modern concept of separation of church and state. |

Re: "Ohhhhhhhhh Lordy, when will it ever end?" by NY reader So, yes... Bogart does insinuate that the audience won't understand every play she directs--but she doesn't say this contemptuously.Even now, Bogart admits that she is often confused by productions she sees, and she writes that this feeling of confronting the unexpected and confusing is essential to quality theatre.She acknowledges that not everyone in the audience will understand because not every human can understand everything; indeed, not even one human can understand everything. The opportunity to reach beyond your boundaries, to traverse places where you aren't entirely comfortable--that is one of the greatest assets of the theatre.And that devotion to the challenge of understanding characterizes every aspect of Anne Bogart's work.Bogart is an intelligent, creative, talented director--and this book is an excellent introduction to her poignant process.

list price: US$19.95 -- used & new: US$15.56 (price subject to change: see help) Asin: 0674032152 Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan | |
Editorial Review Product Description Many people in developing countries lack access to health technologies, even basic ones. Why do these problems in access persist? What can be done to improve access to good health technologies, especially for poor people in poor countries? This book answers those questions by developing a comprehensive analytical framework for access and examining six case studies to explain why some health technologies achieved more access than others. The technologies include praziquantel (for the treatment of schistosomiasis), hepatitis B vaccine, malaria rapid diagnostic tests, vaccine vial monitors for temperature exposure, the Norplant implant contraceptive, and female condoms. Based on research studies commissioned by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to better understand the development, adoption, and uptake of health technologies in poor countries, the book concludes with specific lessons on strategies to improve access. These lessons will be of keen interest to students of health and development, public health professionals, and health technology developers—all who seek to improve access to health technologies in poor countries. |
