Leaves from the World Tree: Selected Poems of Craig Deininger and Dennis Patrick Slattery

Leaves from the World Tree: Selected Poems of Craig Deininger and Dennis Patrick Slattery

Dennis Patrick Slattery; Craig Deininger

Mandorla Books
2018
nidottu
A poem can massage us in the deepest recesses of our lives. It can call us both down into the realm of what is not visible at first glance, and through the sensate world we inhabit. These two directions form a cross, which is the crux of life itself. Dennis Patrick Slattery This volume is a testament to the imagination, and to the possibilities which can be made to exist through fortunate word-arrangements when they are generous enough to come.

The Wounded Body

The Wounded Body

Dennis Patrick Slattery

State University of New York Press
1999
pokkari
An almost obsessive interest in the human body in literary and psychological theory over the past ten years has uncovered not just the physical body but the body as metaphor, political emblem, social construction, and symptom. The Wounded Body builds on this recent interest in the body by providing an ambitious interdisciplinary exploration of the wounded body in literature from Homer to Toni Morrison. Guided by insights from phenomenology to Jungian archetypal psychology, Dennis Slattery argues that the body in its scarred, marked, diseased, tattooed, or otherwise afflicted state is not only an individual phenomenon but, in the hands of the poet, a cultural symptom, a place of suffering, as well as a way of seeing and ordering the experience of the one who is wounded.

Bridge Work: Essays on Mythology, Literature and Psychology

Bridge Work: Essays on Mythology, Literature and Psychology

Dennis Patrick Slattery

Mandorla Books
2015
nidottu
The twenty chapters in this volume are divided into Formal Essays and Cultural Essays. Both, however, explore in varying degrees the place of consilience between literature, mythology and depth psychology. The essays seek that place of analogy, or correspondence and of accord between the three bridges, the three disciplines mentioned in its subtitle. Together they amplify and extend what might best be called a psycho-poetics of myth, where mythology is understood as the mucilage or glue that holds psyche and poiesis together in one form and shape. The intention in all the essays is to invite the reader into the discussion with his/her personal myth resonating with the ideas and images present and to remember and reimagine one's own narrative through the corridors of those presented in the volume. Bridge Work then carries two meanings: it wishes to span disciplines in order to increase one's range of awareness and it wishes to create a third thing, the bridge itself, as a medium of and for expressing new insights. The hope is that the reader will come away from these twenty expressions of the relational nature of literature to psychology and mythology with a renewed sense of how interdisciplinary studies can reveal other ways of knowing not afforded the specialist inhabiting one field of thought.

Re-Imagining Education

Re-Imagining Education

Dennis Patrick Slattery

Mandorla Books
2019
pokkari
In this 2019 reissued collection of eighteen essays, originally inspired by the soul-deadening mandates of the "No Child Left Behind" era, Dennis Patrick Slattery and Jennifer Leigh Selig bring together master teachers who have served in the classroom for fifteen or more years, spanning elementary, high school, undergraduate, graduate, and adult education across multiple disciplines, to share their reflections on reviving the soul of learning.While the essays are historically tethered to a moment in time, one that witnesses a crisis in learning, the intention of the volume is not merely to react and critique, but rather, to imagine the present as an occasion to revive, revision, and renew the enchantment of learning.One might ask: what timeless and perennial qualities of excellence are germane to teaching and learning as they both serve the life of the imagination and further the cultivation of the soul? The answer rests in the essays themselves, repositories of wisdom by teachers with decades of experience in the classroom, whose only mandate was to speak their own truths that have informed thousands of learners young and old.

From War to Wonder: Recovering Your Personal Myth Through Homer's Odyssey

From War to Wonder: Recovering Your Personal Myth Through Homer's Odyssey

Dennis Patrick Slattery

Mandorla Books
2019
nidottu
From War to Wonder, Dennis Slattery's new book, not only explicates the beauty and power of the Odyssey, Homer's twenty-seven-hundred-year-old marvel-filled epic, it also offers a marvelous way to interact with it on a daily basis. Those who do so will be amply rewarded by finding access to the poem's myriad meanings, as well as their capacity for forging their own personal myths. Phil Cousineau, author of Once and Future Myths, and editor of The Hero's Journey: Joseph Campbell on His Life and WorkWhat a beautiful invitation this book proffers: to spend a year slowly savoring one of the great masterpieces of world literature and day-by-day discovering how it illumines and deepens your understanding of your own life. Christine Downing, author of The Goddess: Mythological Images of the Feminine and Mythopoetic Musings: 2007-2018

An Obscure Order: Reflections on Cultural Mythologies

An Obscure Order: Reflections on Cultural Mythologies

Dennis Patrick Slattery

Mandorla Books
2020
nidottu
From the author: . A myth, I hope these essays reveal, is a manner and even a style of being present to the world's matter as well as to interior ideas and images. Behaving like a fulcrum balancing two realities-the external one I meet daily and the inner psychic world that has its own objective nature to develop and then fade as its life energy diminishes-myths are organically alive. . My own personal myth is present in the chrysalis of each of these essays. Something in the subject matter of each of them sparked my curiosity and my attraction to them, rendering them complete only when I was able to give them sufficient form to breathe on their own. Each of the thirty chapters brought me to wonder about them, to turn them around and upside-down, to see them from several perspectives, perhaps revealing their paradoxes and their ultimate purposes. The presence of myth, the energy they carry, attract my wondering about them. Seeing anew is one of the main intentions of myth; a deepened consciousness is its richest end result.

Re-Ensouling Education: Essays on the Importance of the Humanities in Schooling the Soul

Re-Ensouling Education: Essays on the Importance of the Humanities in Schooling the Soul

Dennis Patrick Slattery; Stephen a. Aizenstat

Mandorla Books
2019
nidottu
2nd Edition: Previously published as "The Soul Does Not Specialize." This 2019 release contains a new preface by Dennis Patrick Slattery. An education in the Humanities is under attack, defunded and depreciated in academic institutions ranging from primary school through doctoral degree programs both in the United States and abroad. The emphasis is on educating students for standardized and specialized minds, at the expense of educating the whole student, which includes, as the title of this volume argues, schooling the soul. This collection brings together essays by administration, faculty, and staff from Pacifica Graduate Institute, a small educational institution located on the coast of Central California, which emphasizes the wisdom traditions in depth psychology, mythology, and the humanities. Each essay is a personal manifesto, an impassioned argument for the importance of an education in the humanities which stimulates the mind, nourishes the soul, and gives wings to the imagination.
