The remains of a personal notebook, penned by an unknown author, found near the banks of the Great River. The writer seems to have made an entry every day for an entire year on a rather eclectic array of ideas. As such, it is difficult to say precisely what it is about. Based upon its introduction, it appears that the author had been in touch with a publisher, but we can find no evidence that it has been previously published.
"Bob Trabold's poetry is reflective of the rich life he lives. His work powerfully yet gently centers on the spiritual core and peaceful aspects of human existence. His poems are thought-provoking, insightful and most of all inspiring." Tone Bellizzi, Director, Davault Artists' Caf "Robert Trabold masterful style of his long-awaited collection Watching the River Flow By: Selected Poems"...with a poetic voice ...blends with that of the Endless River. With liquid poems, meditation, haikus, spirituality travel through the landscape of Europe translating artifacts of words bringing that verse back into the 21st century." "...Drifting back to the days of his youth, standing up for civil rights anti-war and nukes, the environment and other social injustices - his poetic eye comes full circle back on the road to the shore of the ancient river returning back to the ocean of time and the cosmic journey." James Romano, Performance Poets Assoc. of Long Island
In the last fifty years Irish poets have produced some of the most exciting poetry in contemporary literature, writing about love and sexuality, violence and history, country and city. This book provides a unique introduction to major figures such as Seamus Heaney, but also introduces the reader to significant precursors like Louis MacNeice or Patrick Kavanagh, and vital contemporaries and successors: among others, Thomas Kinsella, Paul Muldoon and Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill. Readers will find discussions of Irish poetry from the traditional to the modernist, written in Irish as well as English, from both North and South. This Companion, the only book of its kind on the market, provides cultural and historical background to contemporary Irish poetry in the contexts of modern Ireland but also in the broad currents of modern world literature. It includes a chronology and guide to further reading and will prove invaluable to students and teachers alike.
Winner of the Norma Fleck Award for Canadian Children’s Non-Fiction From the mid-1800s to the late 1990s, the education of Indigenous children was taken on by various churches in government-sponsored residential schools. More than 150,000 children were forcibly taken from their families in order to erase their traditional languages and cultures. As Long as the Rivers Flow is the story of Larry Loyie’s last traditional summer before entering residential school. It is a time of adventure and learning from his Elders. He cares for an abandoned baby owl, watches his kokom (grandmother) make winter moccasins, and helps his family prepare for summer camp, where he will pick berries, fish and swim. While searching for medicine plants in the bush with Kokom, he encounters a giant grizzly bear. Gently but truthfully written, the book captivates its readers and reveals a hidden history.
