Offers an extended critique of key assumptions in composition theory and a new paradigm for thinking about writing in an increasingly globalized and textualized world. How can theory improve our knowledge of writing? Raúl Sánchez answers this question by examining dominant theoretical trends in composition studies over the last fifteen years, citing their common origins in a narrow, representational metatheory of writing. He argues that this adherence actually leads the field away from its objects of study: writing and the writing subject. Through this extended critique, he elaborates an alternative metatheory, one that restores writing to the conceptual center of composition studies by emphasizing its generative―rather than its representational―characteristics, particularly in increasingly networked and textualized cultures.

What can I tell you about this book that would entice you to spend twenty one dollars on an art, poetry, and word book? Probably nothing. Other than the fact that Randomly Accessed Poetics, Heart Splatters Into Significance, is an elegantly designed book. I know what you’re thinking, “what book is worth twenty one dollars?” If you really want to get this book, but don’t want to part with the Twenty one dollars, go to the Kindle store and get if for three. Of course, the paper version is far more beautiful and you do not need an electronic device to view it on. Here is what you are purchasing, should you decide to part with your twenty one dollars, in between these pages there are thirty five contributors from all over the world. Most of them are from the United States. And sixteen are from Washington State. Greg Brisendine is performance poet who makes his living in theater; he has two poems in this book. Larry Crist has been published prolifically in little magazines and big ones too, like Rattle. Duane Kirby Jensen is a poet painter from Everett. He curates a spoken word venue at Café Zippy’s on Wetmore Avenue. Brandon Pitts has written plays, novels, and countless poems. For Chris Jarmick, poetry is everything, he is author of a book titled “Ignition: Poem Starters, Septolets, Statements &amp; Double Dog Dares.” Jeannine Hall Gailey was appointed to position of Poet Laureate of Redmond, Washington in 2012. Carla Blaschka, is a Seattle lifer who, draws inspiration for her short stories from The Stranger and from Capitol Hill. There are many more exciting writers between these pages waiting to be read. People who are just as much in love with writing as I am. People who organize the randomness of our world into words and images. Me, I am just a country boy who lives in Oregon and works in a casino. And maybe that is why you should buy this book. To see how a nobody country guy can organize the words of others into a beautiful bouquet. * * * The fourth issue of Randomly Accessed Poetics features work from B.Z.

Product Description Raúl Sánchez's long-awaited 2nd book is a gift, a gateway, a harvest. These poems present and re-present our "tongue," our "language," our "culture and pride." Steeped in history and "blood blood blood" unforgotten and dignified, these poems are never what you expect yet are as familiar as an ancestral landscape. Deeply layered like culture itself, this book es una flor, multi-petalled, many-voiced - sin frontera and utterly unique. From rich love poems to Nerudaesque declamaciónes to canciones and cantos, this book represents as we were, and are, When There Were No Borders, by presenting the multiverse that is US of America through the voice of one, Raúl Sánchez, crossing borders. Review Sánchez writes borderless in borderless times. He breaks through the ancient Mexica figure ofdeath and transformation, Coatlicue, to poems as pyramids, to the Sea of the Salish in thePacific Northwest and on to cool-rebel Pachuco dialect of the US-Mexico borderlands. He cookson a rotating rainbow-colored pan, he spices, he refuses to present his "papers" at the borderstop. There are nectars, harvests, the always-farmworker fields, a detention center to tend towith resources and a poet. Open this collection - hold on, there is a "pirinola," an everspinning umbrella-shaped candy with a pointed tip burning colors, lights and stories that willtake you to Latinx multi-dimensional magic. A precise, moving mural, this text of visitations of"life, precious life!" Sanchez's delights as he writes, as he tears across those borderlines, dancing. Magnificent poetics to take home and to take you out.Juan Felipe HerreraPoet Laureate of the United States Emeritus About the Author Raúl Sánchez is a Seattle-based author and mentor of bilingual poetry. His previous book AllOur Brown-Skinned Angels published by MoonPath Press, launched his name into the roster ofpublished poets. His cultural background allows him to use passages from his early life inMéxico City and apply the lessons learned in his work. Since retirement, he has volunteered atthe King County Juvenile Detention Center mentoring incarcerated youth through the PONGOmethod. His mentoring in the schools (WITS and Jack Straw Cultural Center), has been essentialto his poetic growth because as he put it The youth see the world differently than him, therefore he learns from their outlook. Raúl is an avid spiral thinker, driving in a straight linethen suddenly turning left or right, but never loosing the reader in the detour. Raúl is a self-taught poet who keeps on writing, teaching, helping the youth, and reading in public, allowinghis voice to carry the words like dandelion fuzzies into the ears of those who listen.

The purpose of this book is to illustrate the fundamental concepts of complexity and complex behavior and the best methods to characterize this behavior by means of their applications to some current research topics from within the fields of fusion, earth and solar plasmas. In this sense, it is a departure from the many books already available that discuss general features of complexity. The book is divided in two parts. In the first part the most important properties and features of complex systems are introduced, discussed and illustrated. The second part discusses several instances of possible complex phenomena in magnetized plasmas and some of the analysis tools that were introduced in the first part are used to characterize the dynamics in these systems. A list of problems is proposed at the end of each chapter. This book is intended for graduate and post-graduate students with a solid college background in mathematics and classical physics, who intend to work in the field of plasma physics and, in particular, plasma turbulence. It will also be of interest to senior scientists who have so far approached these systems and problems from a different perspective and want a new fresh angle.
