In Structuring Spaces: Oral Poetics and Architecture in Early Medieval England, Lori Ann Garner illuminates the idiomatic and traditional meanings invested in depictions of architecture within the vernacular verse of early medieval England, portrayals that consistently demonstrate a shared aesthetic between literary texts and physical buildings. Through systematic exploration of the period's verbal and material culture as complementary art forms, Garner argues that in Anglo-Saxon England the arts of poetry and building emerged from the same cultural matrix. Not only did Anglo-Saxon builders and poets draw demonstrably from many of the same traditionally encoded motifs and images, but so rhetorically powerful was the period's architectural poetics that its expressive force continued in literature and architecture produced long after the Norman Conquest. Far from conceiving this inherited tradition as monolithic in nature, Structuring Spaces foregrounds the complex interface of orality and literacy as a nexus of varied and multivalent cultural traditions that influenced the production of texts and buildings alike. After establishing a model of architectural poetics based on oral theory and vernacular architecture, Garner explores fictionalized buildings in such works as Beowulf and the Ruin, architectural representation in Old English adaptations of Greek and Latin works, uses of architectural metaphor, and themes of buildings in Anglo-Saxon maxims, riddles, elegies, hagiographies, and charms. Her book draws on scholarship from art history, archaeology, anthropology, and architecture, as well as the great wealth of studies addressing the literature itself.

Diet & Health: with Key to the Calories
Lori Ann Tighe; A. B. Lulu Hunt Peters
High Desert Press

In this groundbreaking book Dr. Peters captures the distinct flavor of her times and place: America in the early 20th Century. This is not just a diet and health book. It is a historic artifact as well. It is a glimpse of American life when cars and phones were just becoming a part of daily life, there were no televisions and the 1920s were just beginning to Roar. Men, and even women, like Dr. Peters, were going off to war in Europe. 'Diet & Health with Keys to the Calories ' is where it all started. It is the first modern day simple and basic guide to eating right and losing weight. What was sound advise in 1918 is still sound today. It may also have been the friendly, perky, yet direct way that Dr. Peters addresses the issue of weight that earned her such a large following in the 1920s. We've taken a simple book and improved it and made it more accessible. To make it easier on the eyes we've enlarged the type (12 pt.) and used a new character font (Georgia). We didn't just scan an old book and put a new cover on it. We enlarged the book size to 6"x 9". And, we've given you additional dietary ideas in a new final chapter. We've left nothing out, nor edited Dr. Peters. She speaks for her self as she did almost a century ago.

"For the Lava Pea" -Childhood Memories as a Rugged Little Shit
Lori-Ann Getchell Willey
Blurb
2021
pokkari
This Maine author stepped back in time and wrote about some of her childhood memories growing up as "Rugged Little Shit" in the central part of Maine. This is the first of a few books about her life starting with some of her earliest memories - family tragedies, being scared of the moon, floating down a stream on an old gas tank with her identical twin sister, learning a family member slept in a coffin, and about how she grew up respecting nature, eating wild edibles, etc. are just some of the stories you'll read. Though this book has some somber moments, the rest are full of humor, adventure, and hardships along the way.
This book is a collection of Inept Blog entries between the years 2009-2010. The entries are written by the wife of a Disabled American Veteran. Lori-Ann writes not only about the challenges of their everyday lifestyle living off the grid in the northern Maine wilderness, but she also writes about their experiences, both good and bad. This husband and wife team know that they are not an exception. Life itself is challenging for everyone, and despite the ups and downs, they strive to live life at its fullest. Through their tears, you will find optimism, encouragement, inspiration, and humor. You will quickly realize that despite all obstacles, they wear grins, enjoy their own warped sense of humor, tell jokes, enjoy being pranksters, experimenting, exploring, learning, and above all, you will find them making the best out of life as it unfolds before them. The Willey's are not only at peace, they are content. They know that if one wants something bad enough, they have to make it happen, and they make life happen despite their hardships that leave so many people both in aww and in awe of their ways.
"A FUNNY" Coffee Pot Reader is a collection of dry, iffy humor of a couple living off the grid in Maine. Living such a lifestyle, a sense of humor is a great asset, even if the humor is dry, misunderstood, or a full-belly rollover.
