Book Description
I am in every raven and rainbow you see. We'll see each other again before you know it. It's time for me to sleep now. Goodnight, Mommy. It's time to say goodnight. On July 22, 2018, fifteen-year-old L Grey swallowed a bottle of prescription pain killers, and closed her eyes for the last time. Some would say she took her life, but it could be more aptly said that she took her life back. Vanessa, L's mother, tells the story of her daughter's incredible battle with a painful, chronic condition called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), and her unwavering commitment to be a voice for social justice. Told through L's unedited writing and Vanessa's own experiences, "Ravens and Rainbows" leads us to places we don't take ourselves; it gives voice to the LGBTQ+ community, explores the pain of losing a child, the relentlessness of an incurable disease, and the ongoing spiritual relationship of mother and late daughter. Vanessa and L, amidst devastating circumstances, teach us how to triumph spiritually when everything else is lost.

Zane Grey
Author: Thomas H. PaulyPublisher: University of Illinois Press

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 406
Book Description
Zane Grey was a disappointed aspirant to major league baseball and an unhappy dentist when he belatedly decided to take up writing at the age of thirty. He went on to become the most successful American author of the 1920s, a significant figure in the early development of the film industry, and a central player in the early popularity of the Western. Thomas H. Pauly's work is the first full-length biography of Grey to appear in over thirty years. Using a hitherto unknown trove of letters and journals, including never-before-seen photographs of his adventures--both natural and amorous--Zane Grey has greatly enlarged and radically altered the current understanding of the superstar author, whose fifty-seven novels and one hundred and thirty movies heavily influenced the world's perception of the Old West.
Cattle Poetics

ISBN: 1800731698
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
Loving cows, then killing them. The relation with cattle in Mursi country is shaped by the dichotomy between the value given to it during life and the death imposed upon it. The killing of cattle may be brief and inflicted with few words, but it is preceded by a series of intense aesthetic practices, such as body painting and adornments, colour poetics, poems and oratory art. This book investigates the link between the nurturing and killing of cattle with Mursi daily life and finds that these rituals cut across pastoralism, social organisation and politics in forming the very fabric of Mursi society.
