Is At Times End a single long poem or a sequence of poems? It occupies an in-between space, a twilight language, that shifts between locations and registers.Where everything is subject to dissolution and re-emergence, playing on the fragility and fluidity of our existence, where dream and reality interplay as one in our experience, behind which there is nothing else. As it says in the Heart Sutra: 'Form is emptiness, emptiness is form'.Gordon Ellis was born in 1948 of Scottish-Irish descent and was brought up between inner city Birmingham and Gourock on the Firth of Clyde, his family having roots in Ballymena in Co.Antrim. He studied philosophy, literature and religion at university and went on to do research in Hindu iconography. He has taught at university in England, practiced as a psychotherapist, and been spiritual director of a Tibetan Buddhist Centre in Cheshire. Poets he has been influenced by include: Ezra Pound, Basil Bunting, W.S.Graham, Ernst Meister, Gunnar Ekelof and Chinese poets of the Tang Dynasty. As well as a number of books of poetry, he has also published several books of essays, including, 'Avoiding Extinction' co-authored with Alexander Matthews. He now lives in South Devon.
'The Broken Shards' contains lyrical poems concerned with the fragility and transience of being, of recollection and association.Personal and historical, celebratory, and challenging received views, these poems express another perspective outside the mainstream tradition in England, one where it is possible to breathe and aspire.Existential in their import, shifting in their mood and colouration, they are occasions for reflection and exploration.
Poems set in Italy, Egypt, and Paris, reflecting on the varying cultures, and relating to contemporary life; more personal poems leading into a sequence, 'Tavern of Ruin', which, for a Sufi, is like training in a divine university. As Dr Javad Nurbakhsh puts it - 'Before a perfect being enters the 'Tavern of Ruin', he or she can be defined. However, upon entering the Truth, such a being is indefinable, beyond the realm of words' ('In The Tavern Of Ruins: Seven Essays On Sufism'). The other starting point is George Meredith's, "Modern Love'.
The essays contained in this volume include a number of substantial works: on the Yoga tradition, and how it has emerged in the modern age; on an exploration of the roots of the view of an absolutist god and the way this has shaped the development of Western civilisation; some reflections on what it is to be a human being in the world; an exploration of three significant figures: Freud, Plato, and Buddha so that they can be seen and compared as figures in a landscape today. There are also essays on Rudolf Steiner's Esotericism; the year 1948, that gave birth to the NHS and the State of Israel, and thoughts following the reading of 'The Essence of Nihilism' by Emmanuele Severino. Then there are some short pieces on: Buddhism; Death and Dying; the Buddha's Enlightenment in the Majjhima Nikaya and the Lalitavistara Sutra; Stanislav Grof's The Cosmic Game; the cosmopsychism of Itay Shani and on Greek Tragedy.

Prisons are hard places to get into and harder to get out of," writes Robert Ellis Gordon as he takes you on a remarkable eight-year journey into the Washington State corrections system.As a writing teacher, Gordon had the unique experience of gaining access to the darkest realms of Washington prisons while remaining free to walk away from penitentiary confines at the end of the day. His account is aided by essays and stories contributed by six extraordinary prison students--works that give this book an unforgettable edge. Together, Gordon and his students provide revealing glimpses of this vast secret-laden subculture of incarcerated individuals, which nationwide comprises more than two million U.S. citizens.Here is a gallery of portraits of prison life, from the female guard who tantalizes male inmates with her sexuality to the terrified young fish trying to stave off other prisoners. These stories are jarring, harsh, compelling. The Funhouse Mirror, which combines extraordinary story material with fine writing, provides us with an inside look at the prison system we often ignore, yet only at society's peril. This uncommon book is a significant addition to the literature on American penitentiaries. It is destined to help alter the terms of the debate about one of the great national problems of our time. Winner of the Washington State Book Award, 2000.

"I suspect that this Handbook may become a 'definitive' text as we seek to include the perspectives of all types of people, to reach beyond the boundaries that have separated people of one culture from those of another, and to socialize our youth to be more multiculturally sensitive." —Carolyn Stroman, Howard University The SAGE Handbook of Child Development explores the multicultural development of children through the varied and complex interplay of traditional agents of socialization as well as contemporary media influences, examining how socialization practices and media content construct and teach us about diverse cultures. Editors Joy K. Asamen, Mesha L. Ellis, and Gordon L. Berry, along with chapter authors from a wide variety of disciplines, highlight how to analyze, compare, and contrast alternative perspectives of children of different cultures, domestically and globally, with the major principles and theories of child development in cognitive, socioemotional, and/or social/contextual domains. This volume will help readers evaluate ethnicity, socioeconomic, and gender issues in child development and see how these issues influence individual development as well as social policy. Key Features Provides comprehensive coverage: This handbook covers theory, research, and best practices for traditional agents of socialization such as family and home, socio-political and religious communities, and schools and peers, as well as the traditional (e.g., print and television) and newer media forms (e.g., the Internet and video games). Presents multiple perspectives: A well-known and impressive list of contributors from numerous disciplines represent various theoretical orientations and offer a rich variety of viewpoints regarding research and methodological assumptions. Offers versatile utility: This volume will be a valuable resource for program development, research and evaluation, or hands-on community-based projects. In addition, the practical applications will be of interest to broadcasters, public policy and advocacy groups, teachers, and other childcare professionals.
