Praise for THE EXCALIBUR CURSE: Thought-provoking inspiration behind the lives of the women of Camelot, a must purchase. Guinevere has been a changeling, a witch, a queen-but what does it mean to be just a girl? To undo the mistakes of the past.even if it means destroying herself. Guinevere is determined to set things right, whatever the cost. When Guinevere makes an agonizing discovery about who she is and how she came to be, she finds herself with an impossible choice: fix a terrible crime, or help prevent war. Vowing to unravel the truth of her past with or without Merlin’s help, Guinevere joins forces with the sorceress Morgana and her son, Mordred-and faces the confusing, forbidden feelings she still harbors for him. But the greatest danger isn’t what lies ahead of Guinevere-it’s what’s been buried inside her. Behind her are Lancelot, trapped on the other side of the magical barrier they created to protect Camelot, and Arthur, who has been led away from his kingdom, chasing after false promises. While journeying north toward the Dark Queen, Guinevere falls into the hands of her enemies. The gripping conclusion to the acclaimed Arthurian fantasy trilogy from #1 New York Times bestselling author Kiersten White finds Guinevere questioning everything-friends and enemies, good and evil, and, most of all, herself. "I have lived in repentance for the past several years - repenting of my self-righteousness, my fear-based approach to life, the teaching of my books, my views of women in the church, and my approach to parenting to name a few," he said. In a follow-up post, he elaborated that he was what could be described as "falling away" from the Christian faith and that he now believed in marriage equality.Īt the same time, he issued an apology to members of the LGBT community. The evangelical community has been shocked by the former pastor's about-turns in recent weeks, the first of which was an announcement on Instagram that he was separating from his wife of 21 years, Shannon. Joshua Harris at the Vancouver Pride Parade (Photo: Instagram/Joshua Harris)Īfter announcing last month that he no longer considers himself a Christian and has changed his views on homosexuality, I Kissed Dating Goodbye author Joshua Harris has joined the annual Pride Parade in Vancouver. She also comes from not a lot of money, like I do, and sort of deflects the hurt around her appearance and her place in the world with wisecracks and by pursuing people who she knows don’t really value her. And then Beth, who’s big and obvious and can’t pass, is much more true to my experience of life, to the reality that I have to navigate every day. But when you’re born with money and looks, intention only goes so far. I like Fran - I think that she is largely a relatable and well-intentioned person. A friend of mine once said that skinny, rich white people are the Vichy France of queers. Sometimes that’s a neutral thing, and sometimes it’s unfortunately a dangerous sort of collaborator kind of thing. Fran sort of embodies the part of me that wants to be invisible as a trans woman, that wants to conform and disappear into the world around me and not have to deal with any harassment or legal consequences of being a woman in the way that I am. GRETCHEN FELKER-MARTIN: I’d say it’s pretty psychologically straightforward where they come from. SARAH NEILSON: How did you come up with the three main characters, and what do you like most about them? Shondaland spoke with Felker-Martin about imagining characters of varying trans experiences, the transgressive and transformative aspects of horror, state and interpersonal violence, and how her work as a film critic informs her fiction. It’s less evident who is being addressed, who is doing the addressing - and for that matter, the poem ends by deliberately blurring the distinction. What’s immediately apparent is the ardent intensity of address embodied in this poem. Words as stones we find, I think, in a poem like this one, which I quote in full, from the 1963 collection Die Niemandsrose - in Joris’s translation, “NoOnesRose” (as with many of Celan’s poems, the poem’s title is not separated out from the body of the text, but consists of its first words rendered in small caps): As Daive writes, “Paul Celan chews a word like a stone.” We too have to break our teeth on them. And if it resists being read, that resistance itself becomes something to be read. “Among the basic characteristics of poetry,” he once wrote, “is that it knows itself to be exposed to misunderstanding.” Because of this, his work acquired a reputation for difficulty, but that’s misleading if it implies that his is an ‘intellectual’ poetry on the contrary, what we might experience as torsions or distortions of language register the extremity of emotion rather than speak of difficulty, it would be better to say, simply, that one never knows in advance how to read this poetry: One can only learn how to read it by reading it. His use of the German language was always estranged and estranging. Celan, therefore, wrote always as a foreigner. |
