DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe “poet laureate of the New York underground scene” chronicles three decades of electrifying artistic expression Once dominated by Beat Generation writers like Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, by the 1970s and ’80s, New York City’s creative scene had given way to a punk rock–era defined by figures like Debbie Harry and Richard Hell. While the aesthetics of these two movements seem different on the surface, author and prolific interviewer Victor Bockris—who witnessed it all—argues that the punks borrowed from the ideology and style of the beats, and that the beats were reenergized by the emergence of punk. In intimate conversation, Bockris’s close friends—including celebrities from both periods, such as William Burroughs, Andy Warhol, Joey Ramone, and Patti Smith—reveal more about themselves and their art to him than to any other interviewer. Along with dozens of rare photos, Bockris’s interviews and essays capture the energy of this unique time.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA biography—thoughtful and playful—of the man who founded New Directions and transformed American publishing James Laughlin—poet, publisher, world-class skier—was the man behind some of the most daring, revolutionary works in verse and prose of the twentieth century. As the founder of New Directions, he published Ezra Pound's The Cantos and William Carlos Williams's Paterson; he brought Hermann Hesse and Jorge Luis Borges to an American audience. Throughout his life, this tall, charismatic intellectual, athlete, and entrepreneur preferred to stay hidden. But no longer—in "Literchoor Is My Beat": A Life of James Laughlin, Publisher of New Directions, Ian S. MacNiven has given us a sensitive and revealing portrait of this visionary and the understory of the last century of American letters. Laughlin—or J, as MacNiven calls him—emerges as an impressive and complex figure: energetic, idealistic, and hardworking, but also plagued by doubts—not about his ability to identify and nurture talent but about his own worth as a writer. Haunted by his father's struggles with bipolar disorder, J threw himself into a flurry of activity, pulling together the first New Directions anthology before he'd graduated from Harvard and purchasing and managing a ski resort in Utah. MacNiven's portrait is comprehensive and vital, spiced with Ezra Pound's eccentric letters, J's romantic foibles, and anecdotes from a seat-of-your-pants era of publishing now gone by. A story about the struggle to publish only the best, it is itself an example of literary biography at its finest.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIt is that time of the, where negative news pervades all over the world, including India, China and many European and Western nations as well. The most dreaded word, slowdown now is more heard and seen, both in the media, and through the Chinese whispers, and the annals of any organisation worth its size and name! So, how do we look at the future, and are we ready for tough times? How long is such a situation going to last? And is this for real, or are the media and the trail of negative news all over affecting the mood, and also exaggerating how bad things are, than they could be in reality. Whatever be the reality, the moment we are faced with a situation, it’s like a huge thunderbolt hit us. More than what in reality has happened – owing to external circumstances, and extraneous factors, what takes a toll is the way once reacts, when faced with a slowdown. This e-book is meant to be a good and thought helping companion when you think you are being bogged down by things like an impending slowdown or job loss, or anything similar. You are down, but that’s because of anything else BUT you – a host of factors not in anybody’s control. While there is nothing much you can do on the extraneous factors, what you can do, is to make use of the interregnum as a kind of platform for re-launching and rediscovering you, in every manner possible. The book is intended, not only for those who are in the midst of such an event, but also to everyone who wishes to be mentally prepared, just in case they are in any part of the globe, and are likely to be impacted by a slowdown. Not much has been written as to how the softer side of a slowdown situation is to be handled on the personal front. The pages of this book are meant to mentally prepare individuals, equip them to handle slowdown or pink-slips with grace, and face life with more confidence and renewed vigour, and make them more able and agile in handling the harsh reality of tough times in life, just in case. Read on. Let’s beat down the slow-down.
