Produktinformationen zu „Delusions Before Nightfall (ePub)“
Delusions Before Nightfall is a selection of poems, stories, and essays from longer pieces written over a period of more than 50 years, the work of a fictive poet named Artz Carbuncle. The pieces collected here vary in tone from whimsical humor to satire to solemn expressions of horror at human folly, but all portray an individual's experiences of some of the issues affecting America since the 1960's. They are arranged under four general headings: A Nation That Incorporates Oppression examines the effects of decisions by which the American political system has increasingly handed over power to corporate business interests. A Culture That Engenders Conflicts of Identity explores the effects on individual lives of our increasing awareness of issues of gender and gender identity. A Culture That Fosters Intergenerational Division depicts some of the effects of those conflicts between generations that have been so prominent since the 1960's. The last section of the book, A Nation That Rejects Nature Turns Biopathic, presents a series of musings on our failure to respond meaningfully to the environmental crisis. The book is introduced by a personal essay by the actual author, Ty Bouldin.
Autoren-Porträt von Ty Bouldin
Ty Bouldin was born in 1947 in Charleston, WV, a city whose economy is heavily dependent on international chemical corporations and capital of a state dominated by extractive industry. As a child, he spent his free time exploring the woods and forests, the creeks and rivers near his home and around the state. Following his father's death when Ty was 16, he attended Concord College in WV majoring in English, took advanced degrees at Miami University of Ohio and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and subsequently taught and administered college-level English courses for 31 years in WV and in Arizona. Following retirement, he and his wife moved to their farm in WV, where they have participated in citizens' groups opposed to a major fracked gas pipeline that threatens the area where they live.
