A revised and enlarged edition of the originally published 2011
SOAKING THE HARP. A collection of poems in tribute to the music and
practitioners of rock and roll.
Will We All Pull Through Together is Mr. Cormier's new book of
poems. It is themed around the subjects of mortality and
mutability. The new book also includes memoir prose entries and
even a smatter of song lyrics. The title of Mr. Cormier's new book
raises a rhetorical question that each poem and entry seeks to
answer for the reader in its own way.
This book is almost entirely written in 19 line terzanelle form.
Its subject is mortality and mutability and traces a vivid arc from
cradle to grave with particular emphasis on how early childhood
events affect better or worse later adult behavior and experience.
Cross Lake and Other Poems is the story of the author's ancestral
home in the Great North Woods of Maine. Located in the Aroostook, a
mysterious narrative thread unites the disparate components of this
intriguing volume. The time is 2028 and yet time stands still in
these poems and many concern themselves with the past and how the
past influences present and future. Incidental to this unraveling
story, this volume also touches on the ravenous timber cutting of
the 1800's and turn of the century logging drives, and its adverse
effects on Maine's environment. The poetry finally traces the great
arc from cradle to grave.
In this newly revised second edition Selected Poems 1985-2011 Mr.
Cormier offers a balanced survey of his twenty-six years of poetic
achievement. It showcases what he regards as his best poetry.
Arranged in roughly chronological order, this Selected Poems
strikes topical, personal, and universal themes and confirms the
judgement of his long time readers of the lasting value of his
work.
The profession of peacemaking has been practiced by indigenous
communities around the world for many centuries; however, the
ethnocentric world view of the West, which dominated the world of
ideas for the last five centuries, dismissed indigenous forms of
peacemaking as irrelevant and backward tribal rituals. Neither did
indigenous forms of peacemaking fit the conception of modernization
and development of the new ruling elites who inherited the
postcolonial state. The new profession of Alternative Dispute
Resolution (ADR), which emerged in the West as a new profession
during the 1970s, neglected the tradition and practice of
indigenous forms of peacemaking. The scant literature which has
appeared on this critical subject tends to focus on the ritual
aspect of the indigenous practices of peacemaking. The goal of this
book is to fill this lacuna in scholarship. More specifically, this
work focuses on the process of peacemaking, exploring the major
steps of process of peacemaking which the peacemakers follow in
dislodging antagonists from the stage of hostile confrontation to
peaceful resolution of disputes and eventual reconciliation. The
book commences with a critique of ADR for neglecting indigenous
processes of peacemaking and then utilizes case studies from
different communities around the world to focus on the following
major themes: the basic structure of peacemaking process; change
and continuity in the traditions of peacemaking; the role of
indigenous women in peacemaking; the nature of the tools
peacemakers deploy; common features found in indigenous processes
of peacemaking; and the overarching goals of peacemaking activities
in indigenous communities.
