The Secret Pool

The Secret Pool

Kimberly Ridley

Tilbury House,U.S.
2019
nidottu
If you look carefully, you can find them and be amazed! These secret pools form every year when low places on the forest floor fill up with rain and melted snow. They soon become home to hatching wood frogs, spotted salamanders, and fairy shrimp. Even in late summer and fall, when many vernal pools have shrunk to mud holes, creatures such as turtles and snakes rely on them for shelter and food. The Secret Pool introduces young readers to the wonders right underfoot as the voice of a vernal pool shares its secrets through the seasons, and sidebars provide fun facts on its inhabitants and the crucial role these small, often overlooked wetlands play in maintaining a healthy environment. This edition includes new backmatter features about wetland habitats and animals for classroom use and reader interest.

Extreme Survivors

Extreme Survivors

Kimberly Ridley

Tilbury House,U.S.
2019
sidottu
More than 99 percent of all life forms have gone extinct during the 3.6-billion-year history of life on Earth. Other organisms have changed dramatically, but not our extreme survivors. Evolution may have altered their physiology and behavior, but their body plans have stood the test of time. How have these living links with Earth’s prehistoric past survived? The search for answers is leading scientists to new discoveries about the past—and future—of life on Earth. The survival secrets of some of these ancient creatures could lead to new medicines and treatments for disease. Written in a lively, entertaining voice, Extreme Survivors provides detailed life histories and strange “survival secrets” of ten ancient animals and explains evolution and natural selection. Extensive back matter includes glossary, additional facts and geographic range for each organism and a geologic timeline of Earth. F&P Level V

Custody of the Eyes

Custody of the Eyes

Kimberly Burwick

Carnegie-Mellon University Press
2017
nidottu
These tightly wound lyrics examine the dark history of a dictatorship through the lens of motherhood while invoking the pastoral as a metaphor for loss, and the overwhelming human will to survive what has scarified us. By exposing the named and nameless stolen babies of Franco's long regime, Burwick is able to tap into personal and universal fears of rearing children in the face of violence, forgery, and absolutism.

Ordinary Chaos

Ordinary Chaos

Kimberly Kruge

Carnegie-Mellon University Press
2019
nidottu
Ordinary Chaos looks at the real, almost-real, unreal, and once-real phenomena that hide behind the veneer of ordinariness. With Kimberly Kruge's deep focus, daily life unfurls into strangeness--time and space become malleable materials as her observations of seemingly normal objects and situations expand, take on meaning beyond their appearance, and begin a life of their own. As much as the poems address the quotidian, they also consider the mysteries of mortality, awe, mysticism, comprehension, and violence. The pages are laced with an honest sense of sensitivity, fragility, and even impending condemnation--resulting in poems that are resilient but not invulnerable. Kruge, who now makes her home in Guadalajara, Mexico, also explores the immigration process and navigating an adopted country. These experiences all contribute to her transcendent exploration of physical, emotional, and psychological geography.

Brightword

Brightword

Kimberly Burwick

Carnegie-Mellon University Press
2019
nidottu
Though none of us can predict our own futures, there are distinctive factors--individual and collective--that may forcibly turn our attention toward the uncertain. In the poems in Brightword the speaker, a mother, contemplates the microcosm and macrocosm of dissection. Physically, her son is at constant risk of a life-threatening cardiac event. Environmentally, her son is obsessed with nature and the threat of eco-catastrophes. Through lyric exchange, images become the principal of repose.

There's Something They're Not Telling Us

There's Something They're Not Telling Us

Kimberly Kruge

Carnegie-Mellon University Press
2022
nidottu
A lyrical meditation on the nuances of domestic life. There's Something They're Not Telling Us is a meditation on the nuances of domestic life, of learning to exist in the constant presence of an other. Through the interrogation of a thesis on what holds us to the present moment, the collection explores the rapture and isolation of marriage and the quotidian. The poems ask us to consider what it means to live on a planet charged with entropy and in bodies that move towards natural and unnatural ends. The work does not purport to provide answers so much as it aims to keep the reader in the text, which is experiential and alive.

Kimberly Hamilton

Centre for Strategic International Studies,U.S.
2021

Leviathan With a Hook

Leviathan With a Hook

Kimberly Johnson

Persea Books Inc
2002
sidottu
Kimberly Johnson's dazzling first collection is rooted in the land and language she inherits, then claims for her own. Informed throughout by Milton's "Paradise Lost, " Johnson's poems burst with the flora and fauna of a magnificently imagined landscape, and gain their power from the incomparable language she uses to describe it. This language is itself an organism in her writing, grown from its own seed, its "vowels blooming like necessary globes/with sharp, consonantal edges." Her voice is wholly new and unique; Leviathan with a Hook heralds the arrival of one of the new standard-bearers of American verse.

Metaphorical God

Kimberly Johnson

Persea Books Inc
2008

"Dazzling....She writes with Milton open at her elbow but with the real dirt of a real Utah under her fingertips."--"The Yale Review" No poet writing today confronts the perplexities of the divine with more pizzazz than Kimberly Johnson. In "A Metaphorical God," Johnson showcases her gifts for mining language for its hidden gems and its gospel ("my tongue is a fovent choir, / a cloven fire"), using what she unearths to delve deep into mysteries both epistemological and holy.

Uncommon Prayer

Uncommon Prayer

Kimberly Johnson

Persea Books Inc
2014
nidottu
Uncommon Prayer is a book about desire, and about the ways in which desire can and cannot be expressed, contained, or controlled by language. Invoking the structural organization of the liturgical hours, the calendar, and the alphabet, Uncommon Prayer explores how external forms might compensate for the incommunicability of human want that is, how the parts of expression that aren t found in dictionary definitions might help to make up for what our words never quite manage to express.

Systems for the Future of Feeling

Systems for the Future of Feeling

Kimberly Grey

Persea Books Inc
2020
nidottu
These inventive and agonizing poems look, in heartbreaking paradox, to language to explore its efforts and inadequacies, as they grapple with disintegrating love and surging terror in modern society. Urgently, Kimberly Grey explores the need for empathy and consolation--our desire (and responsibility) as beings in the world to express the inexpressible, comprehend the incomprehensible, bear the unbearable. Communing throughout with literary forebearers--Anne Carson, Jack Gilbert, Sina Queyras Gertrude Stein--Grey looks to build "language systems" in order to help us create relevant expressions for expressing awe, confusion, bewilderment, nostalgia, horror, and joy.

Learning Limits

Learning Limits

Kimberly M. Williams

Praeger Publishers Inc
1998
sidottu
According to the findings of this study, college women do not typically use drugs simply for the sake of taking drugs. Drug use was viewed as a part of relationships, and for some of these women, a very important part. Within their relationships, these women socially constructed drugs in traditional (i.e., using discourses of morality, legality, and health/personal safety) ways. They also tended to arrange drugs hierarchically—they created what the author labels an individualized drug acceptability ranking that helped them determine their drug using limits.This study suggests that the decisions to use drugs are more complicated than previous literature has suggested. Studies attempting to find correlations between college student drug use, personality traits of drug abusers, gender differences, racial differences, parental influences and educational influences continue to dominate the literature on college student drug use. This book provides a starting point and an invitation to listen to more voices to determine other factors that influence one's drug using decisions.
