The Astral H.D. - Occult and Religious Sources and Contexts for H.D.'s Poetry and Prose (Hardcover): Matte Robinson The Astral H.D. - Occult and Religious Sources and Contexts for H.D.'s Poetry and Prose (Hardcover)
Matte Robinson
R4,233 Discovery Miles 42 330 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Modernist poet H.D. had many visionary and paranormal experiences throughout her life. Although Sigmund Freud worried that they might be 'symptoms,' she rebelled, educating herself in the alternative world of the occult and spiritualism in order to transform the raw material into a mythical autobiography woven throughout her poetry, prose, and life-writing. The Astral H.D. narrates the fascinating story of how she used the occult to transform herself, and provides surprising revelations about her friendships and conflicts with famous figures-such as Sigmund Freud and the Battle of Britain War Hero Hugh Dowding-along the way.

Many of us have particular things in our lives – photographs, paintings, old letters, books, furniture, jewellery, or clothing – that hold special meaning for us. Often, they correspond to pivotal memories and can be central to our sense of self and our life narratives, all the more so as we age. Things that Matter sheds important light on the intricate intertwining of mementos with stories – and vice versa – in most people’s lives. The book explores the significance of cherished objects within the life stories of nine participants in a qualitative study of the links between reminiscence and resilience in later life. The researchers who conducted the study represent a variety of fields, from gerontology to social work to ministry, and from nursing to literature to education. The book details how these stories can be fraught with a wide range of insights and questions from the memories that get stirred up as people embark on the process of "life review" prompted by the challenges and changes of aging. Shedding light on the complex emotional, psychological, and spiritual findings of the study, Things that Matter ultimately reveals the intricacy of personal narrative and the incredible ways in which things and stories are interwoven in our lives over time.

A Long and Winding Road - A family's intimate journey to the other side of breast cancer (Paperback): Randy J Robinson Ph D A Long and Winding Road - A family's intimate journey to the other side of breast cancer (Paperback)

Nancy Robinson was 49 years old, married and the mother of two sons, ages eight and 10 and her husband, Randy's two older sons from the time they were 11 and 13 years old, when she found a lump in her breast. There was no history of breast cancer in her predominantly female family. Yet, despite annual mammograms that proclaimed everything was fine, Robinson insisted something was not quite right. On October 3, 2005, she received the call every woman dreads. The one that begins with, "I'm sorry," and ends with, "You have breast cancer." "A Long and Winding Road," is a family's personal journey through a disease they knew nothing about, and transitioning back to "normal," knowing nothing in their lives would ever be the same again.
