Poetry and Culture in Britain, Canada and the United States
This book is about poetry and the poetic in the cultures and literatures of Britain, Canada and the United States. Close reading is the primary method. The figures discussed in the book were born from 1911 to the post-war years after 1945. The volume proceeds from Marshall McLuhan as a poet through Douglas LePan, Ted Hughes, Leonard Cohen, Margaret Atwood, Thomas King and Forrest Gander to Hannah Lowe, Russell Leong, Marilyn Chin, Fred Wah (interpoetics, poetry and culture in Chinese diasporic poetry), Louis Riel, Pauline Johnson, Naomi McIlwraith (Indigenous and Métis poetry), Gaspar Pérez de Villagrá, Anne Bradstreet, Phillis Wheatley, Langston Hughes, Joan Kane, Russell Leong, Marilyn Chin and Forrest Gander (the multiple makings of poetry of North America). Here is a poetry of the North Atlantic world, a transatlantic poetics then and now. The book reads poetry and the poetic in terms of media, aesthetics, drama, criticism, music, interpoetics, diaspora, culture, diversity, and African, Asian and Indigenous poets.
Language in Colonization, Renaissance Poetry and Shakespeare
Language is the central concern of this book. Colonization, poetry and Shakespeare – and the Renaissance itself – provide the examples. I concentrate on text in context, close reading, interpretation, interpoetics and translation with particular instances and works, examining matters of interpoetics in Renaissance poetry and prose, including epic, and the Hugo translation of Shakespeare in France and trying to bring together analysis that shows how important language is in the age of European expansion and in the Renaissance. I provide close analysis of aspects of colonization, front matter (paratext) in poetry and prose, and Shakespeare that deserve more attention. The main themes and objectives of this book are an exploration of language in European colonial texts of the “New World,” paratexts or front matter, Renaissance poetry and Shakespeare through close reading, including interpoetics (liminality), translation and key words.
J. Hillis Miller and the Play of Literature
This is the first book to discuss the full sweep of the work of J. Hillis Miller, from his earliest writing in the 1950s to those near the time of his death in February 2021, across the genres of his criticism and theory—poetry, fiction, drama, fiction, non-fiction. The book examines Miller’s preference for close and careful reading of individual literary and critical works over abstract theory. The study will discuss the last member of the so-called Yale School of deconstruction to die but will see him as a reader and lover of literature, someone interested in Georges Poulet and phenomenology and in Jacques Derrida and deconstruction. Miller was concerned about many aspects of literature and life, including the pleasure of reading and writing and in climate change, which he saw as the crisis of our time. Miller was well known in humanities and literature worldwide as one of the greatest of modern critics and theorists.
The Words of Winston Churchill
The Words of Winston Churchill, a study that ranges over the course of a rich, controversial and remarkable career, is about the power and art of his language as a writer and speaker. Churchill used words as the greatest of poets and orators do, and did so in Parliament and for the people, Britain and the empire, in war and peace, facing the changes in the world, and resisting Hitler and the Nazis. Drawing on the traditions of poetics, rhetoric and textual commentary, the study concentrates on Churchill’s writing and is sensitive to texts and contexts and to the archive. A central matter is Churchill speaking in Parliament and the reception of his speeches there for over six decades, although his work as a writer and a speaker outside the House of Commons is also important. Churchill speaks to the House, the people, Britain, the Empire, the Commonwealth and the world and, in crisis, defends freedom and democracy.
Language in Literature
Language in Literature examines the overlap and blurring boundaries of English, comparative and world poetry and literature. Questions of language, literature, translation and creative writing are addressed as befitting an author who is a poet, literary scholar and historian. The book begins with metaphor, which Aristotle thought, in Poetics, was the key gift of the poet, and discusses it in theory and practice; it moves from the identity of metaphor to identity in translation and culture; it examines poetry in a comparative and world context; it looks at image and text; it explores literature and culture in the Cold War; it explores the role of the poet and scholar in translating poetry East and West; it places creative writing in theory and practice in context East and West; it concludes by summing up and suggesting implications of creation in language, translating and interpreting, and its expression in literature, especially in poetry.
Late Churchill
This book focuses on a close analysis of selected speeches of Winston Churchill in the House of Commons and some of the responses from fellow MPs from the middle of 1940 to the death of Churchill in 1965, speeches in war and peace, and concentrates on foreign affairs. The book will appeal to those interested in Churchill, freedom, tyranny, diplomacy, war and conflict, democracy, politics, the Second World War, the Cold War, Britain, Canada, the United States, the British Empire and Commonwealth, Europe, France, Asia, Germany, Japan, totalitarianism, Parliament, legislative assemblies, rhetoric, language, style, speech-writing, oral and written communication, literature, history and other areas. The debate between autocracy (tyranny, totalitarianism) and democracy is in those times and ours, with many parallels, chilling. Churchill was key to our world history and is a key to understanding what is at stake in the world now.

This book covers all topics related to anesthetic and perioperative management, critical care and pain in cancer patients. The chapters of the book describe the principles and practices of onco-anesthesia, onco-critical care and cancer pain in great details. Cancer surgeries (onco-surgeries) are organ specific now with each surgery having its own set of anesthetic requirements and challenges. The perioperative management of these different organ-specific surgeries have been discussed based on recent evidence.
