Narrative temaer: død, sorg, tab

Trauma is never something easy to deal with. Trauma can also take many forms. During my teenage years, the biggest trauma took the form of death. The loss of a very prominent figure in my life, my band teacher, who was like a second father to me, sent me into a downward spiral of depression. My salvation was my family, friends, and a creative outlet, poetry. I took the deepest and darkest thoughts that swirled around in my head and molded them into words on paper. This allowed me to eliminate the thoughts and unburden myself while creating something expressive and creative. Looking back now, I am ever so thankful for my poetry and the people around me who were encouraging of everything that would help me feel better. I hope that this collection of poems can serve as an outlet for others. Be it as a relaxing read, reflecting your own similar feelings, or inspiring you to create your own poems. I have since come to terms with my loss, but these poems will always be a part of my journey.

From one of Poland's most acclaimed poets comes a new collection of poems and plays spanning almost five decades and translated for the first time.Encapsulating the prolific work of the poet and playwright Zbigniew Herbert, Reconstruction of the Poet is both a celebration of a profound life of letters and a wide-ranging collection of work never published before that casts a new light on a much loved poet. Spanning 1950-1998, Reconstruction of the Poet contains three plays - The Philosophers Cave The Other Room, and Reconstruction of the Poet - and over fifty poems. This collection takes the reader through the mind of a man attempting to look at the ruins of a post-war world while seeking the living sources of European culture, with poems commemorating contemporaries fallen in wartime, erotic experience and friendship, and exploring political and metaphysical passions.A rich expansion of previously published works by Herbert, Reconstruction of the Poet is also an introduction for those who might still be unfamiliar with this important poet's work while being a fresh instigation to reflection and an enlargement of knowledge for longtime readers of Herbert.

Becoming Human honors the grieving experiencing in many forms, documenting secondary losses, identity shifts, and the journey from girl to woman. Sanchez details her experience with honesty and hope that we can collectively return to our most intrinsic condition, that sweet spot of imperfection, depth, and shameless authenticity.

The 2nd edition of Joel's infamous book depicting insanity"Watch me be born, watch me bloom and then die, watch me resurrect." - Elliotté P. Joel on Wounded Poems"Her poetic expression is barbaric, yet so dignified."- T. S.The debut poetry collection of Slovak-American author Elliotté P. Joel offers a time-lapsing observation of young poet's works captured from the age of 15 to 19. This literary work established a unique and novel genre of contemporary poetry - nonsensical impressionism.The prevalent subject of rejection and loss, as well as dissociation from society and the conventional way of living, can be found contrasting alongside subjects of profound love and the wandersome freedom of mind.With a vivid flow of words accompanied by almost otherworldly imagery, Joel equips her poetry with both emotional and intellectual stimulation.Despite a few obstacles that could have been a disadvantage, such as Joel having English as a second language or her being barely 20 during the time of publishing, Wounded Poems gained major success in the USA, Great Britain, Slovak Republic and Czech Republic.

This thesis explores the educational potential of living and learning in the light of death. Through an analysis of Heidegger's concept of Being, I highlight how our mortality is intimately bound up with care and therefore a potentially powerful place to begin reimagining the classroom. With the help of Noddings theory of caring, I explore how Heidegger's key concepts of death, care, and authenticity can be integrated into an education-towards-death. Based on insights from those who have worked with individuals near the end of life, I outline four means-mindfulness, emotional engagement, deeper engagement with others, and finding and living personal meaning-of putting an education-towards-death into practice.

Der Dorotheenstädtische Friedhof in Berlin ist zwischen Hegels Tod und der Gegenwart allmählich zu einem Mausoleum deutscher Kulturgeschichte geworden.
