Roget's Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases

Why do we write poetry? Who should create it? And where do you even start? Well, Brian Bilston, one of the UK's most hilarious and best-loved poets, is here to take us through the hows, whys and whats of reading, writing and enjoying poetry every day. With his characteristic wit and charm, Bilston accompanies us through the jungle of imagination to the source of inspiration, takes us under the bonnet of a sonnet and over the fear of literary devices. He gives us a whirlwind tour through the history of verse, and shows us why human poetry will always triumph over any attempts by AI. Showcasing over a hundred brand-new poems, and including practical critiques of some of his greatest hits, every page is an immensely pleasurable deep-dive into the life-affirming craft of poetry and a passionate argument for why we should all pick up a pen. How to Lay an Egg with a Horse Inside is for anyone who loves words and all the things they can do. Reader Reviews: 'Love the author's humorous take on creating poetry . . . absolutely brilliant!' 'I laughed my way through the book.' 'I'm not a poetry aficionado but this book made me feel like I could write poetry!' 'A lighthearted gambol through the topic of poetry' 'Absolutely hilarious - the kind of poems you'll love even if you don't consider yourself a 'poetry person''

Research in Creative Writing

Writing Human in the Age of AI

The first book to investigate, analyze and theorize the creative processes of literary writers, Creativity and Contingency in Literary Writing uses author interviews, manuscript genetics and textual evidence to explore creativity from the authorial perspective. Studying an author's practice, literary form and contextual contingencies as elements that affect literary creativity, Karin Kukkoken develops theoretical models for examining the age-old problem of artistic creation and how it has been put to works by authors from the nineteenth century to the age of digital fiction, across a range of languages. With insights from the cognitive sciences, anthropology and philosophy of mind as well as literary studies, the book calls upon interviews with Siri Hustvedt, Marina Warner, Anne Weber, Camille Laurens, Gwenaëlle Aubry, Kate Pullinger, Gunnhild Øyehaug, Maria Stepanova and György Dragomán and studies the manuscripts of Charlotte Brontë, Cora Sandel, Elsa Morante and Italo Calvino. Overcoming the traditional distinction between creative agent, process and creative product, Creativity and Contingency in Literary Writing is as accessible and illuminating as it is important to understandings of human creativity.

Creativity and Contingency in Literary Writing

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR The Right has spent decades trying to win elections. The Left has spent decades deciding who controls everything else.In How the Regime Rules, New York Times bestselling author Christopher F. Rufo delivers his most explosive work yet, exposing the hidden architecture of American power and revealing a battle plan for the New Right to dismantle it.The Regime is not a conspiracy. It is something far more formidable—a sprawling network of Deep State bureaucrats, media gatekeepers, university administrators, corporate executives, and ideological enforcers who dictate what Americans can say, what they are permitted to believe, and who gets destroyed for stepping out of line. Its reach is ubiquitous, its accountability virtually nonexistent. And for decades, conservatives have mistaken capitulation for statesmanship. Rufo demolishes the comforting fiction that institutions can be neutral, that the marketplace of ideas is fair, or that the Right can simply retreat from the contest for influence. The system is not broken. It is functioning precisely as its architects intended.Rufo knows how to expose the machinery and dismantle it. He transformed DEI from an untouchable orthodoxy into a political liability. He propelled allegations of Somali welfare fraud into the national spotlight. He identified structural vulnerabilities, punctured manufactured consensus, and demonstrated how seemingly impregnable bastions of authority can be forced onto the defensive. Now he reveals the playbook. From Samuel Adams and the Sons of Liberty to dismantling ideological strongholds in higher education, Rufo uncovers the mechanics of political domination. How narratives harden into unquestionable truths, how elites perpetuate their own authority, and how disciplined insurgents can upend an entire political order.Rufo agrees with the Left on one fundamental point: Every institution is an instrument of a particular vision of society. In How the Regime Rules, he argues that conservatives must stop mistaking political restraint for moral superiority, cultivate a formidable counter-elite, and master the levers of influence that shape American life.The Regime has perfected the art of ruling without appearing to rule. Now Rufo turns its own methods against it, showing the Right how to reclaim America's commanding heights and chart a new course for the country.

In How the Regime Rules, New York Times bestselling author Christopher Rufo delivers a bold, unflinching examination of how America’s founding spirit was transformed—and, in his telling, betrayed—by the rise of modern bureaucratic power.In How the Regime Rules, Christopher F. Rufo—the New York Times bestselling author who nuked Critical Race Theory, gutted DEI in corporate boardrooms, put Somali fraud on the map, and toppled the president of Harvard—delivers his most explosive work yet: a manifesto for the evolving right and a scorched-earth blueprint to shatter the invisible power structure that now governs America.We all know the Regime. It’s the interlocking web of the Deep State bureaucracy, biased media, corrupted academia, and corporate middle managers that enforces conformity, doles out status to favorites, and crushes dissent. Instead of ruling by winning elections, the Regime rules through cultural capture—dictating what you are allowed to say, think, and believe. Rufo strips back the curtain on their operation, turning the Left’s own playbook against them to show how a radical minority seized the commanding heights of American life. He tracks the bureaucratic rot that traded our founding spirit for a system of managed decline, from the administrative state’s silent coup to the ideological hijacking of our elite institutions.But the time for grievance-filled exposés is past. Now is the time to build real, lasting political power.The old GOP establishment failed because it spent decades begging for a seat at the Regime’s table—only to be mocked, then discarded. The "New Right" too often gets distracted by petty revenge and backward-looking saltiness. Rufo rejects both. Instead, he offers a high-energy, forward-looking vision: building a counter-elite that is rooted in real community, culturally dominant, relentlessly entrepreneurial, and unapologetically patriotic—just like the Founding Fathers. Patriots are already building independent businesses, parallel media ecosystems, homeschool networks, and tech startups that operate entirely outside the Regime’s thumb. Rufo provides a practical counterrevolution roadmap—dismantling the power of bloated bureaucracies, purging left-wing racialism from federal agencies, restoring merit in our universities, and shifting the fight from pure culture wars to the economic realities of the working man. Build it well—make it vibrant, profitable, and bold—and the American people will follow in droves.How the Regime Rules moves us past easy wins or empty nostalgia. It equips us with the strategy, tactics, and spirit required for total national reconstruction. Drawing on his hard-won victories and a cold-blooded analysis of how power actually works, Rufo shows how a new generation can seize the initiative, recapture the American spirit, and restore self-government.

And the Art of Counter-Revolution

How the Regime Rules

In this unique volume, 14 of the US's most distinguished writers pull back the curtain on their processes whilst drafting their works of creative nonfiction. Using side-by-side examples of first drafts and final versions of their writing, including original full-page reproductions from the writers' personal notebooks, an original, illuminating essay accompanies each draft, recounting the journey from inspiration to completion. Offering a generous insight into the creative process from the rough bold strokes to refined, clear, elegant prose, this behind-the-scenes look delves into the creative minds of working writers, including African American, Latin, Asian American, and Indigenous writers from across the US. An invaluable resource for students and instructors looking to enliven the classroom or offering practicing writers a peak into the processes of their peers, this book presents the false starts and missteps, the self-editing, tinkering, cutting, rearranging and craft working writers make in the plight for perfectly polished prose. The Art of Revising Creative Nonfiction is an enlightening and unparalleled collection of modern-day creativity in action, a must have for aspiring writers and teachers of all levels.

The studies collected in this volume offer multidisciplinary perspectives on modern Gdäsk. The chapters provide insight into the city's literature and culture, analysing works by leading Polish authors, exploring the complexities of the commemoration of the Jewish presence, as well as illuminating the city's Christian heritage, enshrined in its Bibles and churches. A similar focus on the past and the present marks the studies of the models of education in Gdäsk before the Second World War and after the fall of communism. Finally, linguistic analyses of internet corpora address the issues of the living language spoken in Gdäsk as well as used to describe the city. Collectively, the contributors paint a picture of an open, vibrant and innovative city proud of its multicultural and multilingual past.

Eine neue Kapitalismuskritik - und eine Liebeserklärung an menschliches Handeln 
In Zeiten der Krise entzündet sich politisches Engagement. Protestbewegungen wie Black Lives Matter, Fridays for Future und NiUnaMenos kämpfen derzeit weltweit gegen Rassismus, Klimakatastrophe und Gewalt gegen Frauen. 
So unterschiedlich sie scheinen mögen, verfolgen diese Widerstandskräfte doch ein gemeinsames Ziel: die Rettung von Leben. Im Kern richtet sich ihr Kampf gegen den Kapitalismus, der unsere Lebensgrundlagen zerstört, indem er im Namen von Profit und Eigentum lebendige Natur in toten Stoff verwandelt: Der Kapitalismus verwertet uns und unseren Planeten rücksichtslos. In autoritären Tendenzen und rassistischen Ausschreitungen, in massiven Klimaveränderungen und einer globalen Pandemie zeigt er seine verheerendsten Seiten. 
In den neuen Protestformen erkennt Eva von Redecker, die als Philosophin zu Fragen der Kritischen Theorie forscht und auf einem Biohof aufgewachsen ist, die Anfänge einer Revolution für das Leben, die die zerstörerische kapitalistische Ordnung stürzen könnte und unseren grundlegenden Tätigkeiten eine neue solidarische Form verspricht: Wir könnten pflegen statt beherrschen, regenerieren statt ausbeuten, teilhaben statt verwerten. 
Die erste philosophische Analyse des neuen Aktivismus.
