Jamie Kathleen Title : Scrutare gli orizzonti
Author: Jamie Kathleen
Publisher: Tufani Editrice

È un volume di narrativa di viaggio, una delle poche opere in prosa della poeta Kathleen Jamie. Contiene 14 racconti su escursioni da lei fatte sulle remote e ormai disabitate isole scozzesi di St Kilda e Rona, su un suo viaggio all'Artico a vedere l'aurora boreale, su una visita a una colonia di sule, una visita al museo di Bergen e alla sua famosa sala delle balene, sull'incontro con orche assassine, e altri ancora. Kathleen Jamie scrive del paesaggio scozzese, della sua flora e della sua fauna (è un'esperta ornitologa) e della sua natura in modo affascinante. E poiché conosce la natura che la circonda, ne fa parte e la ama, non la idealizza e non la romanticizza. Le si avvicina e la guarda con simpatia, con affetto e con rispetto. In questi racconti Jamie non si limita a descrivere ma si ferma a riflettere e a farci riflettere, e le sue riflessioni sono allo stesso tempo straordinariamente acute e profonde.

Jamie Kathleen; Sensi G. (cur.) Title : La più bella compagnia
Author: Jamie Kathleen; Sensi G. (cur.)
Publisher: Medusa Edizioni

The Bonniest Companie, spelling scozzese, è la settima silloge di Kathleen Jamie, scritta e sostenuta dalla 'tremendous energy' - parole sue - della campagna per l'indipendenza della Scozia in vista del referendum del settembre 2014, che però sancirà la vittoria del 'no'. Attivista e fervente sostenitrice del 'sì', Kathleen Jamie decise di esprimere quell'energia scrivendo, se possibile, una poesia la settimana. La sfida della scrittura fu vinta, la sconfitta del referendum cocente, ma l'energia intatta. Così dice Jamie, infatti, nella poesia '23/9/14' scritta qualche giorno dopo il risultato: «Dunque eccoci qua, / abbattuti e sfiniti / ammantati di speranze in frantumi /... È martedì. Di nuovo in piedi. / Oggi si ricomincia». I temi della sua poesia, in questa come in precedenti raccolte, sono per lo più quelli della natura che la circonda, della Scozia selvaggia e domestica, quella esplorata in lunghe escursioni e quella più vicina a casa, con la sua flora e la sua fauna, tanti fiori e alberi, merli, sterne, falchi (Jamie è esperta ornitologa), cervi e soprattutto cerve. Ma non solo. Ci sono anche liriche più intime, temi come la maternità, la nascita, l'amore, ricordi d'infanzia. Una continua interazione tra mondo naturale ed essere umano, uno stupore e una costante conversazione con la natura animano e illuminano queste poesie. Freschezza e immediatezza, vitalità ed energia, profondità di pensiero, sorprendenti metafore, ricchezza lessicale. Tutto ciò viene esaltato dall'uso della parlata scozzese (Scots). Infatti Jamie scrive in standard English ma con termini scozzesi

Jamie Kathleen; Sensi G. (cur.) Title : La casa sull'albero
Author: Jamie Kathleen; Sensi G. (cur.)
Publisher: Giuliano Ladolfi Editore

'Ciò che colpisce in tutta la poesia di Kathleen Jamie è l'immediatezza abbinata alla profondità di pensiero. La sua è una lingua molto lucida e scarna, priva di accademismi, che non ha bisogno di orpelli, solo apparentemente semplice, e i cui ritmi sono costruiti in modo da ottenere tutta la naturalezza della lingua parlata. È una lingua distillata, rarefatta, ricca di sorprendenti metafore, la cui musicalità viene esaltata dal ritmo e dagli accenti della parlata scozzese, in modo particolare quando è lei stessa a leggere la sua poesia' (Giorgia Sensi).

Jamie Kathleen Title : The Overhaul
Author: Jamie Kathleen
Publisher: Graywolf Pr

Winner of the 2012 Costa Poetry Award, the latest collection by Kathleen Jamie, "the leading Scottish poet of her generation" (The Sunday Times)

See when it all unravels--the entire project
reduced to threads of moss fleeing a nor'wester;
d'you ever imagine chasing just one strand, letting it lead you
to an unsung cleft in a rock, a place you could take to,
dig yourself in--but what are the chances of that?
Of the birds,
few remain all winter; half a dozen waders
mediate between sea and shore, that space confirmed--don't laugh--by your own work.
--from "Materials"

The Overhaul continues Kathleen Jamie's lyric inquiry into the aspects of the world our rushing lives elide, and even threaten. Whether she is addressing birds or rivers, or the need to accept loss, or, sometimes, the desire to escape our own lives, her poetry is earthy and rigorous, her language at once elemental and tender. The Overhaul is a midlife book of repair, restitution, and ultimately hope--of the wisest and most worldly kind.

Jamie Kathleen Title : Sightlines
Author: Jamie Kathleen
Publisher: Experiment Llc

'When the day ended with time for questions, I had some turning in my head . . . About 'nature,' mostly, which we were exhorted to reconnect with. What was it, exactly, and where did it reside?'

With her poet’s eye and naturalist’s affinity for wild places, Kathleen Jamie reports from the field in this enthralling collection of fourteen essays whose power derives from the stubborn attention she pays to everything around her. Jamie roams her native Scottish “byways and hills” and sails north to encounter whalebones and icebergs. Interweaving personal history with her scrutiny of landscape, Jamie dissects whatever her gaze falls upon—from vistas of cells beneath a hospital microscope, to orcas rounding a headland, to the aurora borealis lighting up the frozen sea. Written with precision, subtlety, and wry humor, Sightlines urges us to “Keep looking. Keep looking, even when there’s nothing much to see.”

Campbell Karlyn Kohrs, Jamieson Kathleen Hall Title : Presidents Creating the Presidency
Author: Campbell Karlyn Kohrs, Jamieson Kathleen Hall
Publisher: Univ of Chicago Pr

Arguing that “the presidency” is not defined by the Constitution—which doesn't use the term—but by what presidents say and how they say it, Deeds Done in Words has been the definitive book on presidential rhetoric for more than a decade. In Presidents Creating the Presidency, Karlyn Kohrs Campbell and Kathleen Hall Jamieson expand and recast their classic work for the YouTube era, revealing how our media-saturated age has transformed the ever-evolving rhetorical strategies that presidents use to increase and sustain the executive branch's powers.
            Identifying the primary genres of presidential oratory, Campbell and Jamieson add new analyses of signing statements and national eulogies to their explorations of inaugural addresses, veto messages, and war rhetoric, among other types. They explain that in some of these genres, such as farewell addresses intended to leave an individual legacy, the president acts alone; in others, such as State of the Union speeches that urge a legislative agenda, the executive solicits reaction from the other branches. Updating their coverage through the current administration, the authors contend that many of these rhetorical acts extend over time: George W. Bush's post-September 11 statements, for example, culminated in a speech at the National Cathedral and became a touchstone for his subsequent address to Congress.
            For two centuries, presidential discourse has both succeeded brilliantly and failed miserably at satisfying the demands of audience, occasion, and institution—and in the process, it has increased and depleted political capital by enhancing presidential authority or ceding it to the other branches. Illuminating the reasons behind each outcome, Campbell and Jamieson draw an authoritative picture of how presidents have used rhetoric to shape the presidency—and how they continue to re-create it.

Jackson Brooks, Jamieson Kathleen Hall Title : unSpun
Author: Jackson Brooks, Jamieson Kathleen Hall
Publisher: Random House Inc

Americans are bombarded daily with mixed messages, half-truths, misleading statements, and out-and-out fabrications masquerading as facts. The news media–once the vaunted watchdogs of our republic–are often too timid or distracted to identify these deceptions.

unSpun is the secret decoder ring for the twenty-first-century world of disinformation. Written by Brooks Jackson and Kathleen Hall Jamieson, the founders of the acclaimed website FactCheck.org, unSpun reveals the secrets of separating facts from disinformation, such as:

• the warning signs of spin, hype, and bogus news
• common tricks used to deceive us
• how to find trustworthy and objective sources of information

Telling fact from fiction shouldn't be a difficult task. With this book and a healthy dose of skepticism, anyone can cut through the haze of biased media reportage to be a savvier consumer and a better-informed citizen.

“Read this book and you will not go unarmed into the political wars ahead of us. Jackson and Jamieson equip us to be our own truth squad, and that just might be the salvation of democracy.”
–Bill Moyers

“THE DEFINITIVE B.S. DETECTOR–AN ABSOLUTELY INVALUABLE GUIDEBOOK.”
–Mark Shields, syndicated columnist and political analyst, NewsHour with Jim Lehrer

unSpun is an essential guide to cutting through the political fog. Just in time for the 2008 campaign, Brooks Jackson and Kathleen Hall Jamieson have written a citizen's guide to avoiding the malarkey of partisan politics.”
–Mara Liasson, NPR national political correspondent

“The Internet may be a wildly effective means of communication and an invaluable source of knowledge, but it has also become a new virtual haven for scammers–financial, political, even personal. Better than anything written before, unSpun shows us how to recognize these scams and protect ourselves from them.”
–Craig Newmark, founder and customer service representative, Craigslist.org

Jamie Kathleen Title : Waterlight
Author: Jamie Kathleen
Publisher: Graywolf Pr

The first U.S. publication of Scottish poet Kathleen Jamie, author of The Tree House, winner of the 2004 Forward Prize for best poetry collection

It isn't mine to give.
I can't coax this bird to my hand
that knows the depth of the river
yet sings of it on land.

             --from 'The Dipper'
 
For more than twenty years, Kathleen Jamie has been writing the poetry that has established her as 'the leading Scottish poet of her generation' (The Sunday Times). Lyrical and meditative, her poems engage the natural world and human society with an authentic, earthly spirituality.

Waterlight at last makes Jamie's work available to American readers. Her poetry--rendered sometimes in the Scots dialect, sometimes in the descriptive bursts of a naturalist's field guide --confronts gender, sex, landscape, and nationhood with the vivacity of an essential poetic voice.

Jamie Kathleen Title : Findings
Author: Jamie Kathleen
Publisher: Graywolf Pr

'A book of unparalleled beauty, sharpness of observation, wit, delicacy, strength of vision and rare exactness of language.' --The Daily Telegraph

I had noticed, more than noticed, the cobwebs, and the shoaling light, and the way the doctor listened, and the flecked tweed of her skirt, and the speckled bird and the sickle-cell man's slim feet. Isn't that a kind of prayer? The care and maintenance of the web of our noticing, the paying heed?
 
During her husband's hospital stay for a life-threatening illness, Kathleen Jamie didn't pray, but she did find herself paying very close attention to the world around her. In Findings, she shares her direct, uncluttered observations of the natural and unnatural world--seen from her kitchen window, on the streets of Edinburgh, in hospital corridors, in the Outer Hebrides.

What she finds: an awe-inspiring salmon run that turns out to have been reengineered so that no salmon can possibly reach the top of the falls. A disembodied doll head, caught with the carcass of a whale on a remote island, where crofters once combed for driftwood. She wonders 'if durability is still a virtue, when we have invented plastic.'

Findings received resounding praise on publication in the United Kingdom. John Berger named it his favorite book of 2005, 'because it finds without disturbing the found. And this takes courage and delicacy' (The Guardian).

Publisher: Basic Books

Here, at last, is the book for anyone who ever wondered how the media extravaganzas we call political campaigns really work.

This book separates the facts from the convenient fictions that deter Americans from caring about the processes and outcomes of elections.

Kathleen Hall Jamieson Title : Eloquence in an Electronic Age
Author: Kathleen Hall Jamieson
Publisher: BERTRAMS PRINT ON DEMAND

In a book that blends anecdote with analysis, Kathleen Hall Jamieson--author of the award-winning Packaging the Presidency--offers a perceptive and often disturbing account of the transformation of political speechmaking.
Jamieson addresses such fundamental issues about public speaking as what talents and techniques differentiate eloquent speakers from non-eloquent speakers. She also analyzes the speeches of modern presidents from Truman to Reagan and of political players from Daniel Webster to Mario Cuomo. Ranging from the classical orations of Cicero to Kennedy's 'Ich bin ein Berliner' speech, this lively, well-documented volume contains a wealth of insight into public speaking, contemporary characteristics of eloquence, and the future of political discourse in America.
