Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry is all things to all people and this book is no exception. I am concerned that it could have the impact of a drone strike. Let your imagination run wild. Have fun. The title tells it all, Random Runes, New Poems and Old Elegies. I built a formidable file of poems I put together during the decade (2000-2010). It has been five years since Author House published my first poetry book titled, Songs from a Cave and Other Selected Poems (1995-1999). So, I bought a touch screen computer and an excellent printer (hp Officejet pro 8600 jet) and went to work organizing, authorizing and deputizing. What a job. I decided to randomize the individual works using Moses and Oakfords TABLES OF RANDOM PERMUTATIONS left in my library from my doctoral dissertation days at UC Berkeley (14 December 1974). There must be an easier way today. Consequently personal, political and philosophical works are scattered around by the process. There were new poems along the way such as Super Urban Man, On Salvaging a Sunken Stanchion and, not to forgotten, Beat Down at Dog Beach. Old Elegies were written for old friends who have passed away, Arnold, Bob, Harry and five or six others. They rime using the villanelle style and went over very well at the time. Give Us your Sons is topical and international. Its about the molestation of boys serving on the altar of churches. The last line is: We went back at seven for Mysteries of the Cross. Members of Poetry for Pleasure at the Rogers Senior Center in Huntington Beach, CA like, as of today, Dross Bucket and Baby Slobodans First Photograph. If you are a Bicyclist youll appreciate, Riding Around the Bear where I take you over Onyx Summit by Big Bear Lake and nudists will appreciate, Danseuse Narurel in four parts. The last sentence is: All of you, from head to toe will be slipping, sliding, gliding then move and pose au naturel to four-four time and dance the tango. Above all, have a good time experiencing Random Runes and, if you like, recommend it to your friends and family. Of course, Id appreciate it if you did. Gerald Olson

Book excerpt: This book examines descriptions of the natural world in a wide range of Old English poetry. Jennifer Neville describes the physical conditions experienced by the Anglo-Saxons - the animals, diseases, landscapes, seas and weather with which they had to contend. She argues that poetic descriptions of these elements were not a reflection of the existing physical conditions but a literary device used by Anglo-Saxons to define more important issues: the state of humanity, the creation and maintenance of society, the power of individuals, the relationship between God and creation and the power of writing to control information. Examples of contemporary literature in other languages are used to provide a sense of Old English poetry's particular approach, which incorporated elements from Germanic, Christian and classical sources. The result of this approach was not a consistent cosmological scheme but a rather contradictory vision which reveals much about how the Anglo-Saxons viewed themselves.

Book excerpt: Reading the Runes in Old English and Old Norse Poetry is the first book-length study to compare responses to runic heritage in the literature of Anglo-Saxon England and medieval Iceland. The Anglo-Saxon runic script had already become the preserve of antiquarians at the time the majority of Old English poetry was written down, and the Icelanders recording the mythology associated with the script were at some remove from the centres of runic practice in medieval Scandinavia. Both literary cultures thus inherited knowledge of the runic system and the traditions associated with it, but viewed this literate past from the vantage point of a developed manuscript culture. There has, as yet, been no comprehensive study of poetic responses to this scriptural heritage, which include episodes in such canonical texts as Beowulf, the Old English riddles and the poems of the Poetic Edda. By analysing the inflection of the script through shared literary traditions, this study enhances our understanding of the burgeoning of literary self-awareness in early medieval vernacular poetry and the construction of cultural memory, and furthers our understanding of the relationship between Anglo-Saxon and Norse textual cultures. The introduction sets out in detail the rationale for examining runes in poetry as a literary motif and surveys the relevant critical debates. The body of the volume is comprised of five linked case studies of runes in poetry, viewing these representations through the paradigm of scriptural reconstruction and the validation of contemporary literary, historical and religious sensibilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recognizing the dramatic changes in Old English studies over the past generation, this up-to-date anthology gathers twenty-one outstanding contemporary critical writings on the prose and poetry of Anglo-Saxon England, from approximately the seventh through eleventh centuries. The contributors focus on texts most commonly read in introductory Old English courses while also engaging with larger issues of Anglo-Saxon history, culture, and scholarship. Their approaches vary widely, encompassing disciplines from linguistics to psychoanalysis. In an appealing introduction to the book, R. M. Liuzza presents an overview of Old English studies, the history of the scholarship, and major critical themes in the field. For both newcomers and more advanced scholars of Old English, these essays will provoke discussion, answer questions, provide background, and inspire an appreciation for the complexity and energy of Anglo-Saxon studies.
