About meI love words, sand, breezes and dirt. I love eating good food and sharing my table with friends and family. I am a contemplative by nature and love solitude and moments spent with the natural world. I am middle aged and nicely ripe. I like to think of myself as slightly mad, just left of centre and I prefer to love living, but sometimes find aspects of existence somewhat troublesome. I do laugh a lot and have been known to hide in books when it all gets a bit much.

Behold, my brothers, the spring has come;
The earth has received the embrace of the sun
And we shall soon see the results of that love!

Every seed is awakened and so has all animal life.
It is through this mysterious power that we too have our being
And we therefore yield to our neighbors,
Even our animal neighbors,
The same right as ourselves, to inhabit this land.

I saw that we share an interest in poetry. I thought you might get a kick out of my book Anarchy Bell. It's unlike any poetry book you've ever read, I can guarantee it. It's viewable at Suburban Fiction.com
Hi Alana-

Leo Gorcey, if i recall correctly, was one of the East Side kids in a series of classic black and white films about street kids on the lower east side. they were very popular films.

you would love NYC and given your connection you could get a few doors opened- most old timers would know of your grandfather.
Sorry it took so long for me to respond. I haven't actually been here in a while. In answer to your question, "Man and His Symbols" by Carl Jung immediately comes to mind. It shouldn't be very difficult to come across in any second-hand book store. I think my copy's somewhere around its twentieth-hand at this point.

......I`ve tacked down one or two second hand copies rather more quickly than expected. What sort of price range/condition were you thinking of ?

The cheapest one we`ve seen so far, we could let you have it for around £8 + cost of postage to your part of the world. I`d need to do some enquiring before offering to get it for you though, as don`t really have a description of condition.

If you prefer, we can go on looking for a cheaper copy, that`s OK with us.

Nick

P.S. Do you know if there was a paperback ?
Hi,

Nice to hear from you again.

We`ll look into it and get back to you ASAP.

Cheers,

Nick

P.S. Best to use our `real` e-mail address for that type of thing as sometimes I drop out of LT for days at a time - it`s hoonaloon@ntlworld.co.uk. the business itself is Hoonaloon books and Bits - user name Hoon170 on E-Bay UK.
Alana, I'm so glad you joined! I'm hoping we'll get some good dialogues going and inspire each other to do more and read more. I love that you're into Li Po - I have a book on ancient Chinese poems, and the word choices are really haunting and beautiful. One thing I've never seen in any book club is a Chinese poems selection - might be worth looking into! I'd go. :-)

Thanks for joining for the Esoterica group.

Happy cataloging.
He is an Anglican priest from England. [The Four Witnesses] is an excellent summary of the current thinking about the origin of the 4 gospels. This subject goes in and out of favor, so I found his work refreshing in that it did not merely regurgitate previous patterns, but tried to add some new perspectives.
Just a quick note to say I`d be interested in details of the book you contributed to. Hope we`re not making you swell-headed.

Nick

P.S. There is a bit about Hippolyte on the web, I think I found two poems, one I liked, one not so much. I don`t tend to like political poems, do you ? I think I`d rather read a good poem I disagree with than a bad one I agree with.
Hi again Alana.

A friend thought Walker might be a bit dry for a young boy and suggested Belich's The New Zealand Wars. I'm not so sure. What iwi do his people come from?

Farrell
No problem - keep on with the writing though - do we get to read some more of your stuff ?

Nick
London says Hi back! Chomsky is the thinking mans Michael Moore, if you will. Margaret Atwood, is of course one of the greatest living writers. Wish she could pump them out like Barbara Cartland though! (without loss of quality)
Hi Alana!

Thanks for noticing Zable. I read that book when it came out, several years back; I was drawn to it because of the topic, but enjoyed the writing for its own sake too, so I appreciate the tip on his other titles. I'll keep an eye out for them!

Patchen
No, Alana - or at least not in the last twenty years, have I read Moore. I'm hoping to be able to start reading again, ironically, when I finish my PhD! Good to hear from you (-:
Hi Alana,
Thanks for dropping by. Yes I love this book also. Border Country is quite central to his vision – that tension between community and knowledge that was part of his personal experience and that he would go onto explore in his theoretical works.
