There Is No I in Debris is a walking and talking contradiction. Of course, as a matter of fact, the English letter is plain to see. If, however, the reader would care to acknowledge the fluid nature of that self who processes experience with images and words, the effect of these poems will be to expose the mysterious vulnerability of that authentic person who so often hides behind various familial and societal roles. The poet here posits a crisis, especially for clergy and various leaders of the institutional church in the twenty-first century. We are now entering a postmodern field of debris, in which the fragments of one's identity must be confronted amid the mere artifice of Christendom. ""Scott Kinder-Pyle's collection of poems is a fierce and tender engagement with the world we know, the worlds we yearn for, and the worlds we hesitate to see and to name. With a philosopher's eye and a pastor's heart, he probes the many pieces and identities of a preacher's life, finding wisdom in places none of us thought to look. These are poems to make us ponder, wonder, wrestle, and even laugh--at ourselves, most of all. Kinder-Pyle is the kind of colleague you want alongside you, for the long haul."" --Anna Carter Florence, Peter Marshall Professor of Preaching, Columbia Theological Seminary ""Not everyone can put words together in such a way that a reader's mind is filled with beautiful, sharp imagery. In Scott Kinder-Pyle's There's No I in Debris, we learn of the genuine struggles and hopes of a clergyman. Lay people and faith leaders alike will find themselves relating to and enjoying this poetry."" --Tracy Simmons, Editor, Spokane Faith and Values ""'Existence is a stealthy pathogen, ' a Sasquatch tenders here. Scott Kinder-Pyle's poems are like that--fiercely honest and articulate about frustrations and desolation, about passing indignities and enduring sorrows. But the poems' faithful laments only make their empathy, grace, and humanity all the more trustworthy and powerful."" --Jonathan Johnson, author of May is an Island C. Scott Kinder-Pyle loiters near Spokane, Washington--loving his adventurous spouse, his incorrigible adult children, and his untrainable dogs. He is also known as a teacher of philosophy, literature, and religion courses at Gonzaga and Eastern Washington universities. Originally, however, Scott blended into the crowd of obnoxious Philadelphia sports fans of the 1970s and '80s. Ordained as a minister of the Word and Sacrament in the Presbyterian Church (USA) in 1988, he continues to serve in that penultimate role as the Titanic lists to the side, and more icebergs loom . . . Alas, nothing satisfies, a condition of the soul which has prompted degrees (of glory) from Princeton Theological Seminary, Columbia Theological Seminary, and finally a Master of Fine Arts from Eastern Washington in 2013.

Do contemporary big-budget blockbuster films like Gravity move something in us that is fundamentally the same as what avant-garde and experimental films have done for more than a century? In a powerful challenge to mainstream film theory, Cinemas Bodily Illusions demonstrates that this is the case. Scott C. Richmond bridges genres and periods by focusing, most palpably, on cinemas power to evoke illusions: feeling like youre flying through space, experiencing 3D without glasses, or even hallucinating. He argues that cinema is, first and foremost, a technology to modulate perception. He presents a theory of cinema as a proprioceptive technology: cinema becomes art by modulating viewers embodied sense of space. It works primarily not at the level of the intellect but at the level of the body. Richmond develops his theory through examples of direct perceptual illusion in cinema: hallucinatory flicker phenomena in Tony Conrads The Flicker, eerie depth effects in Marcel Duchamps Ane9mic Cine9ma, the illusion of bodily movement through onscreen space in Stanley Kubricks 2001, Godfrey Reggios Koyaanisqatsi, and Alfonso Cuarf3ns Gravity. In doing so he combines insights from Maurice Merleau-Pontys phenomenology of perception and James J. Gibsons ecological approach to perception. The result is his distinctive ecological phenomenology, which allows us to refocus on the cinemas perceptual, rather than representational, power. Arguing against modernist habits of mind in film theory and aesthetics, and the attendant proclamations of cinemas death or irrelevance, Richmond demonstrates that cinemas proprioceptive aesthetics make it an urgent site of contemporary inquiry.

In 1864, General Grant tasked General David Hunter with raiding the breadbasket of the Shenandoah Valley and destroying the Confederate factories and supply lines. General Lee dispatched General William E. "Grumble" Jones, and the forces collided up the fertile fields of eastern Augusta County. It was a bloody day--the Battle of Piedmont saw more men killed and wounded than in any of Stonewall Jackson's 1862 Valley encounters. Sweeping on to victory, Federal forces then occupied Staunton and laid waste to the railroad and Confederate workshops. Join Civil War historian Scott C. Patchan as he chronicles the campaign and sheds light on its place in the war.
