Synopsis

Elegy Function explores how elegies, traditionally viewed as expressions of mourning, actively shape public memory and collective grief. The book delves into the evolution of elegies, revealing how they've transformed from personal lamentations into formal public rituals. It argues that these poems are not passive reflections of sorrow but active agents in constructing meaning and memory. Elegies, for example, often help consolidate social cohesion after national tragedies.The book traces the historical development of the elegy, examining its classical origins and subsequent transformations in various social and political contexts. It analyzes specific case studies of elegies written in response to significant historical events, showcasing how they legitimize political narratives and commemorate historical figures. By exploring the interrelation of elegies with national identity, the book highlights their role in reinforcing cultural values.The study progresses across chapters, starting with core concepts and historical evolution, moving to case studies, and concluding with the implications for contemporary mourning practices.

    In Transit - Being Non-Binary in...

    For decades, our cultural discourse around trans and gender-diverse people has been viewed through a medical lens, through diagnoses and symptoms set down in books by cisgender doctors, or through a political lens, through dangerous caricatures invented by politicians clinging to power. But those who claim non-binary gender identity deserve their own discourse, born out of the work of the transsexual movement, absorbed into the idea of transgender, and now, finally, emerging as its own category. 
     
     
     
    In tracing the history and theory of non-binary identity, and telling of their own coming out, non-binary writer Dianna E. Anderson answers questions about what being non-binary might mean, but also where non-binary people fit in the trans and queer communities. They offer a space for people to know, explore, and understand themselves in the context of a centuries-old understanding of gender nonconformity and to see beyond the strict roles our society has for men and women. 
     
     
     
    In Transit looks forward to a world where being who we are, whatever that looks like, isn't met with tension and long-winded explanations, but rather with acceptance and love. Being non-binary is about finding home in the in-between places.

    Growing up as a member of a ranching family in Branson, a small town in southeastern Colorado, provided author Larada Horner-Miller a treasure-trove of stories, characters, and emotional moments that make up her touching memoir, This Tumbleweed Landed. This collection of poems and prose transports readers back to rural America during the fifties and sixties, to one idyllic, tight-knit community in particular. Each of the book’s eight sections weaves a nostalgic yarn that tells of playtimes with friends and neighbors, favorite hiding places, living without a telephone for the first eleven years of life, and the touching memories of growing up on a ranch community. Whether it is Saturday night dances or hot days working with 4-H at the county fair, the poems and pages roll along like a tumbleweed in search of a place to land. Readers will find themselves longing to go back to this very specific time and place, whether they actually experienced it in their own lives or not. 
    Read about this daddy’s little girl and her adventures that mold and shape her formative years. Where will this tumbleweed land, and what kind of woman will she be when she finally arrives?

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
    ER: Existence, Reality and Time continues the journey begun in Time Explained: Introduction into the World of Becoming. While the earlier book offered a broad introduction to the mysteries of time and first outlined the framework of Existential Realism (ER), this new work takes the next step: a deep dive into the philosophical heart of ER. 
    At once rigorous and accessible, the book explores how existence unfolds in the present, how reality extends into past and future, and why becoming—rather than static being—must stand at the center of our understanding of time. It responds to the many questions raised by Time Explained, clarifying, expanding, and strengthening the vision of a temporal system that unites lived experience with scientific insight.
