Editorial: DigiCat

Sinopsis

Katherine Mansfield's "The Collected Works" gathers the essence of her literary genius, showcasing her innovative short stories, essays, and journals that profoundly influenced modernist fiction. With a keen eye for the subtleties of human experience, Mansfield employs a distinctive stream-of-consciousness style and rich, impressionistic imagery that invites readers into the complexities of her characters' inner lives. Set against the backdrop of the early 20th century, her works reflect the tumultuous social changes of her time, exploring themes of alienation, identity, and the fleeting nature of existence. As a prominent figure in the Bloomsbury Group and a contemporary of Virginia Woolf, Mansfield's own life experiences, marked by travel and personal upheaval, fuel her literary explorations. Her commitment to capturing the ephemeral essence of human emotion emerges from her own struggles with health and relationships, granting a visceral authenticity to her narratives. Mansfield's innovative techniques and perspectives often challenge conventions, marking her as a pivotal voice in the shaping of modernist literature. This collection is highly recommended for readers who seek a profound understanding of human relationships and the subtleties of intimacy. Mansfield's ability to weave poignant moments of insight into her characters' lives makes "The Collected Works" a timeless reflection on the human condition, inviting readers to ponder their own experiences and emotions.

Show and Tell - Healing From...

Linda Litteral

Linda Litteral is a survivor of incest and rape who used art to heal from the destruction to the body and spirit which comes from physical and sexual abuse. In this courageous memoir, Litteral shares the story of her abuse, spanning eight years of incest perpetrated by her grandfather, a rape she experienced in high school, and physical and verbal violence she suffered at the hands of her first husband. She offers an in-depth psychological profile of the effects of abuse, including silence, shame, invisibility, powerlessness, guilt, and difficulties with trust and identity. She also illustrates how the body remembers abuse through symptomatology like dissociation, anxiety, chronic illness, and other post-traumatic stress responses.
Yet Litteral has done more than survive her past—she’s found a way to thrive in the present. She generously catalogs all the healing modalities she has experienced in her decades of undoing the destruction of her past, including talk therapy, meditation, yoga, breathwork, Tai Chi, and somatic-based therapies like acupuncture, EMDR, sacral cranial therapy, and Thought Field Therapy. But it’s when Litteral discovers the power of creating and sharing her art that her healing journey begins in earnest. Accompanied by rich full-color images of her art in every chapter, Litteral shares stories about the creation of her pieces, their stunning symbology, and how they aided in her healing journey. Litteral is both an artist and an activist, a fierce champion for survivors, and an unabashed advocate for the healing power of art.

Gaslight Days: Book 2 - The Road...

Edward Forde Hickey

Migrant children like myself soon integrated with other children at school. Teachers were inspirational in music and art as well as basics and even arranged a visit to the seaside. 
At dinnertime, we raced from school to the dinner-centre a mile away, anxious to be first in the queue and devour three or four dinners, food being scarce at home. 
With no cars, TV or children’s radio, children took strolls to distant parks and bus rides to see the Christmas lights to sing carols under the Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square. 
We were always busy. I can’t say we were unhappy.
