Blue Pastures

Mary Oliver

""A gathering of gorgeous short pieces"" (Library Journal), Blue Pastures collects fifteen of Pulitzer Prize– and National Book Award–winning poet Mary Oliver's prose works about nature, writing, and herself. 
""This transcendent collection is Oliver's joyful sharing of her love of her craft.""—Library Journal 
With consummate craftsmanship, Mary Oliver has fashioned fifteen luminous prose pieces: on nature, writing, and herself and those around her. She praises Whitman, denounces cuteness, notes where to find the extraordinary, and extols solitude. Nature speaks to her and she speaks to nature. 
""This book is biased, opinionated; also it is also joyful, and probably there is despair here too...But the reader will find the pleasures more certain, and more constant, than the rills of despond. Thus it has turned out in my life thus far, influenced by the sustaining passions: love of the wild world, love of literature, love for and from another person."" –Mary Oliver

Sprachgebrauch und...

Christa Dürscheid, Florina...

Wie formt Sprache unsere Identität? Wie inszenieren wir verschiedene Identitäten durch Sprache? Welche Normen bestimmen unseren Sprachgebrauch - und wie verändern sich diese im Lauf der Zeit, in Abhängigkeit von den beteiligten Akteur:innen? Was verraten historische Quellen über die damals Schreibenden und ihre Schreibpraktiken?
Der Sammelband widmet sich diesen und weiteren Fragen zur Rolle von Sprache in gesellschaftlichen und technologischen Wandelprozessen. Er umfasst deutsch- und englischsprachige Beiträge, die interessante Einblicke in die Variabilität von Einzelsprachen bieten und sich in drei Teile gliedern: Sprachgebrauch und Sprachidentitäten in historischen Schriftzeugnissen (Teil I), Sprachgebrauch im Spannungsfeld von Norm, Variation und Didaktik (Teil II) und Sprachgebrauch, Sprachidentitäten und Indexikalität im Wandel (Teil III). Ergänzend dazu wird in der Einleitung erläutert, welches Konzept von Sprachidentität dem Sammelband zugrunde liegt und welche Argumente dafür sprechen, von mehreren Sprachidentitäten auszugehen.

Yours Truly - An Obituary...

James R. Hagerty

Someday, your life story is likely to be boiled down to a few lines. If you leave things to chance, your obituary is almost sure to be solemn, formulaic, and full of errors—an obligatory final chapter written in haste by others. James R. Hagerty, longtime obit writer for The Wall Street Journal, knows how to get the job done right: Do it yourself, starting now, while you still can. 
 
 
 
In this heartfelt and reassuring guide, Hagerty explains how to preserve your personal history—from crafting a brief obituary for newspapers and websites, to a more thoughtful and detailed mini-memoir for those close to you. Through his personal stories, on-the-job anecdotes, and insights, you will learn what to include, what to leave out, and how to provide historical context, record oral histories, and make the most of details, all with candor and wit. Best of all, you'll find that reviewing your life story helps you think about what you're doing with your time on Earth and whether you're on the right path. It isn't too late to improve the narrative with a stronger ending. 
 
 
 
Telling your story your way can be the best gift you ever give to friends and loved ones—and yourself.
