    2015 was certainly a busy time for celebrities! In a mere 365 days we've been hit with enough jaw-dropping headlines to last a decade. Who can forget Marilyn Manson marrying his cat and Pope Francis trading in his Popemobile for a Segway, or William Hung performing as an honorary Dallas Cowboy cheerleader? Could anyone have possibly expected Martha Stewart to get caught shoplifting at a Goodwill or Bill Clinton to have an affair with Yoko Ono? Mike Tyson getting abducted by aliens certainly took the world by surprise, as well as Britney Spears eating a pot brownie and dancing in her underwear at the MTV Video Music Awards. You say you don't remember those things happening? There's a good reason for it: They were all made up! Never one to let the truth get in the way of a good story, I've put together a collection of over a hundred over-the-top fake showbiz news articles called Icons: Celebrity Satire. Recommended by four out of five celebrities who chew gum.

    Everyone who's watched American Pie knows about MILFs, but have you ever heard of a DILF? You have now. DILF: CONFESSIONS OF A SEXY DAD covers topics such as jorts, Honey Boo Boo and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Even when more controversial subjects such as drugs and religion are discussed, DILF - Yours Truly - maintains his sense of humor. DILF is built around three stories. The first is "Forbidden Fruit," the story of Adam and Eve told as if Adam's gay partner Steve lived with them in Eden. The second is "Bed Buddies," about a modern-day couple trying an open marriage, and the third is "A Family Affair," a potboiler about a woman whose family secret comes back to haunt her. Anyway, I'd say more but the ol' ball and chain is telling me to wrap it up. Apparently our kitty made a number two, and the litter box isn't going to clean itself. Clearly my wife didn't get the sexy dad memo. Just do me a favor and check out the preview. That says you need to know, thanks.

    Though largely a narrative of the author's travels, the true value of the work lies in the wealth of detailed information on the archaeological features of the area, and particularly important are the large number of plates and engravings of historical sites and artefacts, many of which are now lost.

  • - Poetic Engagements with Gerard Manley Hopkins
    af William Wright & Daniel Westover
    543,95 kr.

    The discovery of Gerard Manley Hopkins's poetry in the twentieth century was a revelation for postwar poets, who discovered in both Hopkins's style and subject matter a voice seemingly bottled for their own time. This influence has not faded in the twenty-first century; in fact, it has grown all the more pervasive as poets from many backgrounds and nations have found, in the voice of this nineteenth-century Jesuit, a revolutionary way of addressing contemporary concerns relating to human imagination, ecology, "green" ethics, the role of art, and individual spirituality. The poets collected in The World Is Charged: Poetic Engagements with Gerard Manley Hopkins engage with Hopkins in diverse ways. Some mention Hopkins or address some aspect of his life. Others channel his innovative poetics or address important Hopkinsian themes. All demonstrate the centrality of his influence in contemporary poetry. Unfortunately, critics have mostly neglected the importance of Hopkins as acontemporary model, instead pinning his influence to the early twentieth century. In a climate where high modernism, Whitmanic free verse, and the confessional lyric are often held up as contemporary poetry's dominant forerunners, this book proposes a more complex genealogy, tracing back to Hopkins and his influential early admirers current strands of emotional and spiritual openness, pleasure in word play and sonic textures, and veneration of the dynamic material world. \
