Wedding pulls : poems / by Daniels, J. K.,1967-author.(CARDINAL)414173;
Includes bibliographical references.The title of J.K. Daniels’s first book, Wedding Pulls, comes from a Victorian custom that persists in contemporary New Orleans: charms baked in or iced to a wedding cake are pulled out by the unmarried attendants. The charms, supposedly, predict who will marry next and who won’t, who will be richer and who poorer. In sensual, sonically charged language, the poems in Wedding Pulls interrogate what it means to be wedded, lawfully or not. In personas from Eurydice to Eve to Alice B. Toklas, the poems complicate the traditional notions, the “meager plot,” of marriage and family while exploring the enduring pull of intimacy. Intricately wrought, the poems blend experimental and traditional aesthetics to create mythic landscapes with speakers who ponder what it means to have (or not) and to hold (or not) until death do us part. Inspired by Shakespeare and Stein, Gerard Manley Hopkins and Harryette Mullen, these witty poems riff on art and myth, and the fate that is family.

"Ever caught yourself screaming, "I could just kill that teacher"? What would it take to justify such antisocial behavior and weeks of detention? Especially if he's the best teacher you've ever had? Giving you an "F" on a quiz? Mispronouncing your name during roll call...again? How about blowing up the moon and threatening to do the same to Mother Earth-unless you take him out first?! Plus a reward of a cool 100 million from the Ministry of Defense! Okay, now that you're committed... How are you going to pull this off? What does your pathetic class of misfits have in their arsenal to combat Teach's alien technology, bizarre powers and...tentacles?! Koro Sensei tells all: his former profession, his nickname, the mad scientists responsible for his unique cephalopod physiognomy, the love of his life, and why he wants to teach the 3-E students. New light is shed not only on his character, but on the reason he vowed to destroy the Earth in March. Will these revelations change 3-E's commitment to assassinating their teacher (and saving the planet)?"--Rated T+ for older teens

Transmission/Transgression : maîtres et élèves dans l'atelier : Rodin, Bourdelle, Giacometti, Richier ... / by Boisserolles, Claire,editor.(CARDINAL)783494; Ferrand, Stéphane(Art museum curator),editor.(CARDINAL)795892; Simier, Amélie,editor.(CARDINAL)783492; Musée Bourdelle,host institution.(CARDINAL)132970;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 227-230) and index.Cet ouvrage est publié à l'occasion de l'exposition du même nom présentée au musée Bourdelle, Paris, du 3 octobre 2018 au 3 février 2019. Elève de Falguière et praticien de Rodin, enseignant renommé à l'Académie de la Grande Chaumière, aux Gobelins et dans ses propres ateliers, impasse du Maine, Antoine Bourdelle (1861-1929) fut le maître d'Alberto Giacometti, de Germaine Richier ou encore d'Otto Gutfreund. Ses cours remportèrent un tel succès que son rayonnement dépassa largement les frontières françaises et qu'il eut des élèves de très nombreux pays.0Révélant l'atmosphère si particulière de l'atelier de sculpture, l'ouvrage revient sur le parcours d'artistes internationaux et démontre combien Bourdelle fut un professeur généreux, intéressé par les échanges avec ses élèves. Il soulève des questions clés de l'enseignement artistique, entre respect de la tradition et renouvellement de la forme. Quelle transmission accepter ? Dans quelle filiation s'inscrire ? Comment s'en affranchir et trouver sa voie ? Comment, selon les mots de Bourdelle, "chanter son propre chant"?"I am like Socrates. I give you your soul, " said Antoine Bourdelle to his students. Plunging visitors into the heart of the creative process, bringing out the faces of those who populated the workshops of Montparnasse, this exhibition highlights the complex relationships that are formed between master and student, artist and practitioner, through the figure of the sculptor Antoine Bourdelle. A pupil of Falguière and practitioner of Rodin, teacher adulated at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière and in his own workshops in the early twentieth century, he was the master of Giacometti and hundreds of French, Russian, American, Chinese and Japanese students , Portuguese, Brazilian, Italian, Swedish, Swiss, Romanian, Greek or Czech. Among them, many women, whose physiognomy will nourish the work of Bourdelle who said of his students: "If I interested them, they also interested me. I examined them, I observed them. Their trajectories, fidelity to the teacher's teaching or rejection violent, will be staged in the exhibition."
