Poetry & Strikes

Poetry & Strikes

Michael James

LIVERPOOL UNIVERSITY PRESS
2026
nidottu
Poetry & Strikes examines shifting representations of strike action in the work of six British poets from the 1970s to the present day. It considers how these poets have come to contend with, and contribute to, narratives surrounding industrial disputes. Through these conversations, the book attempts to question the way in which union narratives and legacies are constructed, and to investigate the power dynamics that underpin the presentation of labour histories. The work of these poets helps us to understand how cultural memories have been formed, and makes it possible to see how these legacies may still be rewritten and reframed.

TractorMan is a true account of one man's journey from Southern Spain to West Yorkshire on a 1963 Spanish tractor - a distance covered of 1700 miles. As if that wasn't amazing enough, he did it pulling a caravan with just his dog, Luna, for company.Along the way Michael met strangers who opened their hearts. " Strangers prepared to give simply out of kindness reinforces all sense of humanity." Real warmth leapt from the pages. People on the continent saw Michael and his tractor as a novelty, in contrast with, in England where it was accepted as the norm!`I was literally laughing out loud at times. With detailed descriptions I journeyed through the novel, taking in all the sights and sounds on offer.TractorMan was written more like reading a letter from a friend than working through a book. A highly enjoyable read.'Julia Wilson - book reviewer

Streets, Bedrooms, and Patios

Streets, Bedrooms, and Patios

Michael James Higgins; Tanya L. Coen

University of Texas Press
2000
pokkari
Diversity characterizes the people of Oaxaca, Mexico. Within this city of half a million, residents are rising against traditional barriers of race and class, defining new gender roles, and expanding access for the disabled. In this rich ethnography of the city, Michael Higgins and Tanya Coen explore how these activities fit into the ordinary daily lives of the people of Oaxaca. Higgins and Coen focus their attention on groups that are often marginalized-the urban poor, transvestite and female prostitutes, discapacitados (the physically challenged), gays and lesbians, and artists and intellectuals. Blending portraits of and comments by group members with their own ethnographic observations, the authors reveal how such issues as racism, sexism, sexuality, spirituality, and class struggle play out in the people's daily lives and in grassroots political activism. By doing so, they translate the abstract concepts of social action and identity formation into the actual lived experiences of real people.

Himalayan Voices

Himalayan Voices

Michael James Hutt

University of California Press
1991
pokkari
While the natural splendor of Nepal has been celebrated in many books, very little of the substantial body of Nepali literature has appeared in English translation. Himalayan Voices provides admirers of Nepal and lovers of literature with their first glimpse of the vibrant literary scene in Nepal today. An introduction to the two most developed genres of modern Nepali literature--poetry and the short story--this work profiles eleven of Nepal's most distinguished poets and offers translations of more than eighty poems written from 1916 to 1986. Twenty of the most interesting and best-known examples of the Nepali short story are translated into English for the first time by Michael Hutt. All provide vivid descriptions of life in twentieth-century Nepal. Although the days when Nepali poets were regularly jailed for their writings have passed, until 1990 the strictures of various laws governing public security and partisan political activity still required writers and publishers to exercise a certain caution. In spite of these conditions, poetry in Nepal remained the most vital and innovative genre, in which sentiments and opinions on contemporary social and political issues were frequently expressed. While the Nepali short story adapted its present form only during the early 1930s, it has rapidly developed a surprisingly high degree of sophistication. These stories offer insights into the workings of Nepali society: into caste, agrarian relations, social change, the status of women, and so on. Such insights are more immediate than those offered by scholarly works and are conveyed by implication and assumption rather than analysis and exposition. This book should appeal not only to admirers of Nepal, but to all readers with an interest in non-Western literatures. Himalayan Voices establishes for the first time the existence of a sophisticated literary tradition in Nepal and the eastern Himalaya.

Have you ever felt stuck?You know there's something better out there for you-a purpose, a destination-but it feels like life has conspired against you. Events that have happened, or things happening now, seem to stand in your way, preventing you from getting "there."Life is meant to unfold in an orderly, meaningful way, chapter by chapter. But so often, it doesn't. Instead, we find ourselves stuck-caught between chapters or even trapped within one-and our lives become stagnant, stale, or worse.Maybe your life took an unexpected turn. Something happened. Someone came along. And since then, you've never quite felt "right." Life carries on around you. You may even find joy in the noise of it all, but in the quiet moments, that feeling of being stuck returns. And with it, the loneliness.God never designed us to live stuck or alone, yet so often, that's exactly how we feel. And being stuck is miserable-for us and for those around us. It drains the joy from our lives and strains our relationships. Over time, it can even make us sick-sick of our jobs, our families, our marriages, and our very lives.When we're stuck, we often make desperate choices, ones that only leave us more entrenched in the quicksand. Like flailing in panic, our struggles might seem productive, but they only pull us deeper.Can this book help you? Absolutely.This book is about life-real, messy, beautiful life. It was written while life was happening, not in some polished, distant place but right in the midst of challenges. Much of it was written while fasting, seeking God's voice with clarity and intention.As I wrote these truths, I laughed at the moments of joy, winced at the memories of pain, and even cried as I reflected on the lessons life has taught me. Each word has been prayed over, and my deepest hope is that through these pages, you'll come to know God's heart for you-right where you are, no matter what you're facing.You don't have to stay stuck. Let's begin the journey together.

Vampirism

Vampirism

Michael James Dennison

Peter Lang Publishing Inc
2000
sidottu
This study of the vampire in literature from the early nineteenth century to the present analyzes its metaphorical characteristics. The vampire is the perfect figure of disorder and entropy, and its dominance as a literary figure/monster, an instigator of chaos of all kinds, makes it worthy of study for readers interested in an emerging theory of literary disorder as well as horror literature. Entropy, the most intriguing root metaphor of our time, and the vampire, figure of decadence, degeneration, and perverse physics, illuminate each other as Michael J. Dennison examines such famous works as Dracula and The Fall of the House of Usher, as well as works that have unjustly fallen into near obscurity.

Tell Tchaikovsky the News

Michael James Roberts

Duke University Press

sidottu
For two decades after rock music emerged in the 1940s, the American Federation of Musicians (AFM), the oldest and largest labor union representing professional musicians in the United States and Canada, refused to recognize rock 'n' roll as legitimate music or its performers as skilled musicians. The AFM never actively organized rock 'n' roll musicians, although recruiting them would have been in the union's economic interest. In Tell Tchaikovsky the News, Michael James Roberts argues that the reasons that the union failed to act in its own interest lay in its culture, in the opinions of its leadership and elite rank-and-file members. Explaining the bias of union members-most of whom were classical or jazz music performers-against rock music and musicians, Roberts addresses issues of race and class, questions of what qualified someone as a skilled or professional musician, and the threat that records, central to rock 'n' roll, posed to AFM members, who had long privileged live performances. Roberts contends that by rejecting rock 'n' rollers for two decades, the once formidable American Federation of Musicians lost their clout within the music industry.
