A Poetics of Place

A Poetics of Place

Dermot McCarthy

McGill-Queen's University Press
1990
sidottu
Dermot McCarthy has made extensive use of manuscripts, correspondence, and other archival material to uncover the complexity and genius of Gustafson's creativity. He traces Gustafson's development from an early, adolescent romanticism to his later modernist and post-modernist approaches, and situates this progression in the context of the general shifts in poetic approach and theory which took place during the same period. A Poetics of Place surveys not only the life of a poet but the evolution of literary sensibilities from the thirties to the eighties. Rather than force Gustafson's work into a theoretical matrix, McCarthy has avoided critical jargon and fads of literary theory and has focused on Gustafson as a writer, providing a perceptive and detailed analysis of all the major poems and volumes. McCarthy shows Gustafson's appreciation of the local -- his "poetics of place" -- to be a distinguishing feature of his genius. McCarthy allows the reader to return to the poetry itself.

A Spiritual Theology of the Priesthood

A Spiritual Theology of the Priesthood

Dermot Power

The Catholic University of America Press
1998
nidottu
Hans Urs von Balthasar's writings have pastoral implications that even now are barely recognized and hardly developed. Here a pastorally experienced theologian, who knew von Balthasar personally, unfolds this pastoral dimension for the first time.Father Dermot Power demonstrates the paradoxical grandeur and weakness of the Catholic priesthood. He highlights the roles of the Catholic priest as servant, bridegroom, shepherd, victim, teacher, prophet, celebrant, and minister of reconciliation. He explores the relationship between the mission of Christ and the states of life within the Church, including the laity, and that between the universal call to holiness and the priestly vocation. He examines the structures of the Church in relation to the inwardness of love, and the new hope it offers for the renewal of the priesthood in the Catholic Church.

The Irish in New Jersey

The Irish in New Jersey

Dermot Quinn

Rutgers University Press
2006
nidottu
Winner of the 2005 New Jersey Author Award for Scholarly Non-Fiction Since Irish immigrants began settling in New Jersey during the seventeenth century, they have made a sizable impact on the state’s history and development. As the budding colony established an identity in the New World, the Irish grappled with issues of their own: What did it mean to be Irish American, and what role would “Irishness” play in the creation of an American identity? In this richly illustrated history, Dermot Quinn uncovers the story of how the Irish in New Jersey maintained their cultural roots while also laying the foundations for the social, economic, political, and religious landscapes of their adopted country. Quinn chronicles the emigration of families from a conflict-torn and famine-stricken Ireland to the unfamiliar land whose unwelcoming streets often fell far short of being paved with gold. Using case histories from Paterson, Jersey City, and Newark, Quinn examines the transition of the Irish from a rejected minority to a middle-class, secular, and suburban identity. The Irish in New Jersey will appeal to everyone with an interest in the cultural heritage of a proud and accomplished people.

Nature Praising God: Towards a Theology of the Natural World

Nature Praising God: Towards a Theology of the Natural World

Dermot Lane

Liturgical Press
2023
nidottu
During the lockdown caused by the Covid-19 crisis, streets were emptied, churches closed, and a relationship with nature developed in which questions to be asked again in light of the crisis arose: Is God present in nature? Is communion with God in nature possible? Is there a relationship between the God of creation, the God of history, and the God we worship in Sunday liturgies? In Nature Praising God, Dermot Lane explores these questions by returning to the Bible. The Christian tradition shows that nature is understood as a living community, is graced by God, and has a sacramental character. He suggests that readers change their perception of how nature is traditionally regarded as a resource for human needs--and embrace a new way of praising God through an appreciation of and care for the myriad life forms on earth. The result of these explorations is the outline of a new theology of nature praising God, with lessons for the way we worship God in our churches today.

Amazing Pipeline Stories

Epicenter Press (WA)
1997
pokkari
In the 1970s, the world's largest construction companies invaded Alaska in a wild rush to build the 800-mile $8 billion trans-Alaska pipeline.

With the avalanche of big money and new arrivals came new problems: drugs, prostitution, gambling, and violent crime. Rapid economic and social changes ultimately touched the lives of virtually every Alaskan. Journalist Dermot Cole, dean of the Alaska press corps, recalls the best of the pipeline stories with humor, authenticity, and drama.

Expression Unleashed
2012
nidottu
Robert Munro, a therapist specializing in dream interpretation, awoke one morning to find himself in a dream from which he could not awaken. Experiencing first hand the limitations of his own training and theories, he must solve the puzzle of his own dream in order to break free from its bondage. In the process, he'll better understand himself, other people, and the nature of consciousness itself.What begins as the captivating story of one man's descent into the dream world of his own subconscious soon becomes a heart-wrenching novel of surprise and inner discovery, raising questions about the reliability of memory, childhood trauma, psychological repression and the limits of conscious awareness and human self-understanding."With "Stormy Weather," novelist Dermot Davis has deftly crafted a minor literary masterpiece. Fully engaging from beginning to end, this fictional portrayal of the role of dreams with respect to human behavior is as entertaining as it is thoughtful and thought-provoking." - THE MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW

Brain: The Man Who Wrote the Book That Changed the World

Brain: The Man Who Wrote the Book That Changed the World

Dermot Davis

Expression Unleashed Publishing
2013
nidottu
It's the classic dilemma of the writer: Do you write what's in your heart or do you write what sells? Daniel Waterstone wants to write the great American novel. He has two literary books in print but no one's buying. His agent won't accept his latest masterpiece because it's not deemed commercial. In a final act of desperation, Daniel decides to write - not what's in his heart but - what he thinks will sell. It's a decision that has changed not just the publishing industry but the world as we know it.GOLD MEDALIST WINNER 2015 READER'S FAVORITE INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARDPUBLISHERS WEEKLY REVIEW (starred)Daniel is an affable protagonist-a bit self-obsessed, but basically decent. Davis's novel is an entertaining farce about modern society, a deft, fast-paced tale that will leave self-aware readers giggling. This is an entertaining book that will reward readers. THE MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW"Brain: The Man Who Wrote the Book That Changed the World" is ironic, iconoclastic, and pure entertainment from first page to last. It is also based upon an all-to-familiar scenario common to almost anyone who has written their version of the 'Great American Novel' only to have it (and them) rejected by an unappreciative publishing community and a culture that values pop culture absurdity over literary erudition. Highly entertaining, "Brain: The Man Who Wrote the Book That Changed the World" is recommended reading -- especially for anyone who has ever set about trying to get something of quality published only to see hackneyed flack work be received enthusiastically by an undiscerning public. Also highly recommended is author Dermot Davis' earlier novel, "Stormy Weather" (9780984418114).SAN FRANCISCO BOOK REVIEWProbably the best thing about this book is the assortment of wacky characters, including the idealistic but na ve Daniel, the villainous agent and her ex-con younger brother, and the girl who believes in Charles Spectrum even when he tells her it was all a joke gone wild. Its a roller coaster ride for Daniel, but pure fun for the reader;full of odd metaphors, literary allusions, and hilarious coincidences. Sometimes wordy, but still a great book for anyone who enjoys a laugh at all the crazies in the world; including themselves.

George Eliot and Money

George Eliot and Money

Dermot Coleman

Cambridge University Press
2014
sidottu
Unlike other Victorian novelists George Eliot rarely incorporated stock market speculation and fraud into her plots, but meditations on money, finance and economics, in relation both to individual ethics and to wider social implications, infuse her novels. This volume examines Eliot's understanding of money and economics, its bearing on her moral and political thought, and the ways in which she incorporated that thought into her novels. It offers a detailed account of Eliot's intellectual engagements with political economy, utilitarianism, and the new liberalism of the 1870s, and also her practical dealings with money through her management of household and business finances and, in later years, her considerable investments in stocks and shares. In a wider context, it presents a detailed study of the ethics of economics in nineteenth-century England, tracing the often uncomfortable relationship between morality and economic utility experienced by intellectuals of the period.

The Transformation of EU Treaty Making

The Transformation of EU Treaty Making

Dermot Hodson; Imelda Maher

Cambridge University Press
2018
sidottu
Treaty making is a site of struggle between those who claim the authority to speak and act on the international stage. The European Union (EU) is an important test case in this respect because the manner in which the Union and its member states make treaties has shifted significantly over the last six decades. Drawing insights from EU law, comparative constitutionalism and international relations, this book shows how and why parliaments, the people and courts have entered a domain once dominated by governments. It presents qualitative and quantitative evidence on the importance of public trust and political tactics in explaining this transformation of EU treaty making and challenges the idea that EU treaties are too rigid. Analysing legal developments in the EU and each of its member states, this will be essential reading for those who wish to understand the EU's controversial experiment in treaty making and its wider significance.
