In ihrem Werk ergründet Nelson die Beziehung zwischen Kunst und Ethik und zieht dafür von Fotografie über Film bis hin zu Literatur und Malerei Beispiele heran, die sie punktgenau analysiert. Ihr Anliegen ist, zu untersuchen, inwiefern Kunst, die Grausamkeit thematisiert, in einer ohnehin grausamen Welt von Bedeutung ist, was ihre Motivation und ihre Wirkungen sind. Nelson verzichtet dabei auf Werke mit eindeutiger moralischer Aussage sowie au...

The stock of accumulated fairy tale literature? Surprisingly it might be smaller/be fewer than you think/surmise. Searching the internet for "fairy tales the world cherishes", the number came to no more than a "round ten" or so of the best and most familiar household names, ones. As also with poetry on specific subjects and themes, especially those themes that I choose for my poems, THE FIELD IS WIDE OPEN FOR LACK OF COMPETITION. Fairy tales...

In the summer of 1871, JW Dear met Red Cloud, the leader of the Oglala, who at that time was probably the most powerful and respected Indian chief in America. For the next twelve years the two men lived alongside each other on the vast Northern Plains. This was one of the most turbulent, violent, and controversial periods in the history of the American West. The end of the Civil War saw tens of thousands of emigrants brave the 2, 000-mile jour...

A universal need of all warm blooded mammals is: to love and be loved (in return). Paradoxically, in our modern, fast paced, society, it is a need which often goes unfulfilled. This is attested to/evinced by data on percentages of the population living alone and unattached: 50% alone, in Canada, where I live in a retirement community. Before industrial society came into being, in days of feudalism, the problem situation facing humanity was cha...

Consequences. Three tales exploring consequences, the consequences of random events, of choices and decisions made and of fate or chance.

A Humble Leather Fantasy is the author's ninth book. It diversifies his portfolio of interests from poems about people and pets to that about adults and would-be adults. He writes about their special needs and problems satisfying these needs. "Can't Get No Satisfaction" by Rolling Stones is his greatest inspiration for this. These poems serve as kind of a substitute or ersatz for the author to express his feelings, those of sensual nature, i...

Both stories have in common a heroine, through whose capacity to see inner beauty in others, transcends the outward grotesqueness, or pathetic tinyness,...
