[edit] Life
Moore was born in Kirkwood, Missouri, in the manse of the Presbyterian church where her maternal grandfather, John Riddle Warner, served as pastor. She was the daughter of construction engineer and inventor John Milton Moore and his wife, Mary Warner. She grew up in her grandfather’s household; her father having been committed to a mental hospital before her birth. In 1905, Moore entered Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania and graduated four years later. She taught at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, until 1915, when Moore began to publish poetry professionally.

[edit] Poetic career
In part because of her extensive European travels before the First World War, Moore came to the attention of poets as diverse as Wallace Stevens, William Carlos Williams, H.D., T. S. Eliot, and Ezra Pound. From 1925 until 1929, Moore served as editor of the literary and cultural journal The Dial. This continued her role, similar to that of Pound, as a patron of poetry, encouraging promising young poets, including Elizabeth Bishop, Allen Ginsberg, John Ashbery and James Merrill, and publishing early work, as well as refining poetic technique.

Photograph by George Platt Lynes (1935)In 1933, Moore was awarded the Helen Haire Levinson Prize from Poetry. Her Collected Poems of 1951 is perhaps her most rewarded work; it earned the poet the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the Bollingen Prize. Moore became a minor celebrity, in New York literary circles, serving as unofficial hostess for the Mayor. She attended boxing matches, baseball games and other public events, dressed in what became her signature garb, a tricorn hat and a black cape. She particularly liked athletics and athletes, and was a great admirer of Muhammad Ali, for whose spoken-word album, I Am the Greatest!, she wrote liner notes. Moore continued to publish poems in various journals, including The Nation, The New Republic, and Partisan Review, as well as publishing various books and collections of her poetry and criticism. Moore corresponded for a time with W. H. Auden and Ezra Pound during the latter’s incarceration.

Her most famous poem is perhaps the one entitled, appropriately, “Poetry”, in which she hopes for poets who can produce “imaginary gardens with real toads in them.” It also expressed her idea that meter, or anything else that claims the exclusive title, “poetry,” is not as important as delight in language and precise, heartfelt expression in any form. She often composed her own poetry in syllabics. These syllabic lines from “Poetry” illustrate her position: poetry is a matter of skill and honesty in any form whatsoever, while anything written poorly, although in perfect form, cannot be poetry:

nor is it valid
to discriminate against “business documents and
school-books”: all these phenomena are important. One must make a distinction
however: when dragged into prominence by half poets, the result is not poetry

Through blogging you can create a long list of “fans” who want to hear what you think. SO pick one or two topics and blog away. The enterprising writer may also explore how to put his blog to work. A “working blog” earns you income consistantly. This income can help pay some bills or more and create more time for you to write. You might also find some clients who will pay you to write for them.

Too busy to blog? Visit blogs, forums, and Twitter to talk with people and rech out to others through your comments. Find blogs that you love and comment every other week or so. It is low cost no cost advertising.

Next ask yourself the question could you also create a series of emails to help bild your list and trust among that list? What do you love to write about? What articles have you composed? Could you take the answers from these questions and create an e-course of 10 or more emails? Blogs?

If you do this can these ideas be woven with other products for sale? Or could you create another series of articles that may be sold? A course as described above might act like a hub on a bike’s wheel. Make a list of five spokes, in reality, links that you could connect to to produce income. Set these up and you have a business that can be used over and over to build a list and earn income. Now read on to hear what Dan has to say. Thank you Dan.
Dear Mary,

Welcome to the third in a series of
Positive Habits lessons.

Today’s positive habit:
‘Positive habit for husbands, make your wives happier than
if you had just showered them with roses!’

************************************************************

Today’s quote:

‘Some people wait all there lives for the outside to change
their inside. But it never seems to happen, because change
comes from within us first, then the outside
becomes different.’ - Elliott Goldwag Ph. D.

************************************************************

Today’s positive habit:

Leave notes of love and appreciation.

If there is one thing that we all crave, it is sincere and
honest appreciation. If you really want to make your loved
one happy, make it a habit to leave her notes of appreciation
and love on a regular basis. Buy some Post-it notes and leave
them where she is most likely to see them: in her car, on the
bathroom window, in her jewelry box.

Tell her how much you love her, give her kind words of encouragement
and appreciation. Tell her what a great job she is doing with
the kids, remind her how much you appreciate the hard work
she does around the house. Try this and see the warm, happy
smile on her face when she finds the first note.

Hi Mary,
Do you ever feel like your brain needs a tune-up? If so, you may have good reason!

Dr. Mark Hyman, a four-time New York Times best-selling author and pioneer of ‘functional medicine’, says our brains are constantly being assaulted by stress, toxins, poor eating habits and more. He’s created a 7-step approach to repair our “broken brains” to stay calm, alert and focused again. Read more about Dr. Hyman’s powerful method below in this Marci Recommends.

Happily,

Marci Shimoff

*****

Dear Mary,

Over time, daily assaults like stress, toxins, poor eating habits and more take their toll on our brain and we begin to feel sluggish, our moods start to swing, our memory starts to fail us and we lose our ability to focus, concentrate and stay alert.

And this can have devastating affects both at home and at work as we become unable to perform at a high level, we become disengaged from life and we feel like we just don’t have the energy we used to.

For some of us, this can happen in our 20s and 30s; for others, more as we age, but eventually, many of us develop what is known as a “broken brain”.

But, just as broken down cars can be repaired, given a tune-up and be put back in tip-top shape, so too can our brains.

In fact, I created a powerful method for doing just this. My approach is remarkably simple, but powerful—using a very specific 7-step approach, any of us can repair our broken brains to one that’s calm, alert, focused and able to enjoy everything that life has to offer us.

But this approach doesn’t engage with the mind directly… instead, it shows us how to harness the 7 biological keys that unlock the natural healing intelligence we were all born with.

Once we unleash this natural power within us, it automatically repairs our “broken brain”, leading to enhanced mood, a sharpened mind and increased thinking speed.

This is an incredibly refreshing approach because it doesn’t rely on expensive medical treatments or drugs or ineffective or laborious psychotherapy—it shows us how to harness the built-in biological power that ALL of us possess.

And not surprisingly, this special method works faster, is cheaper and is far more effective than conventional approaches because it works WITH your body and brain instead of against it.

You can see much more about these 7 keys, including some startling videos that explain it all, by going to the website below now:

http://www.ultramindcoaching.com/es/217/21/cd13/9/

My program is refreshing in its natural approach and I hope you get as much out of it as possible.

P.S. - Once you are there, you’ll also find answers to issues such as:

- How to boost your body’s own natural fly-paper like sticky substance to gobble up and eliminate toxins that are dulling your mind…

- What substance you eat every day that literally hardens and encrusts your brain, slowing your thinking and giving you mood swings…

- How two of the most powerful hormones in your body, when out of balance, can send your brain into a thick fog (and cause you to gain weight)…

- Why this one natural supplement can often defeat depression far more effectively than any antidepressant…

- A dangerous food you may be allergic to that can set your brain on fire with inflammation and destroy brain cells…

- How this one activity you may do every day literally shrinks your brain (and a simple technique you can do to prevent this from happening)…

- A simple 6-week brain-boosting program to cleanse, heal and strengthen your brain…

See you next lesson! DC.

Hi, Mary!

Welcome to Lesson Two of your PLR Masters E-Course.
Today we’ll take a quick look at the types of PLR available
online, before starting to delve into using each type of
resource.

PLR Articles: By far the most common form of PLR products
online right now are articles with PLR. They’re easy for
writers to knock off, and they can provide the same articles
to a number of people in very short order. Sites like our
http://www.EasyArticlesPro.com make it even easier, by
providing 25 articles per niche and including the PLR
headers to match that niche…

PLR E-Books: Almost as common are e-books with PLR. But
you have to be careful - some have been around a long time
and thousands of people already have PLR to them. On the
other side of the coin, if you’re doing substantial
rewriting of your PLR products, the age of the original
material doesn’t matter if the content is still relevant.

PLR Audios: Less common but increasingly offered are
audios with PLR - usually audio formats of articles or
e-books. When accompanying a written product, audio
versions are a great way to provide added value. On their
own they make a great product too, as long as you know
how to process them correctly (covered in Lessons 14-18).

PLR Videos: This is a fairly new area, and will evolve
into the most powerful form of PLR once IMers learn how
to handle them effectively. Don’t scrimp here - take the
time to try different programs til you know how to edit
these into great products and powerful tools for your
biz - again, we’ll cover these in depth in future lessons.

PLR Websites: While fairly rare, sites like our own
http://www.NichePLR.com provide you with sites already
laid out, optimized for Adsense, ClickBank & Amazon, and
ready for you to use as-is or with easy changes. PLR
sites are an easy way to boost your online profile, and
build more one-way links back to your main site/blog.

PLR Source Code: This is the most limited, and usually
toughest to process, of all the types of PLR. While most
programmers creating programs with PLR make it fairly
easy to change the header or opening screen, it’s still
going to look like the same program unless you can find
a good programmer who can make alterations to the actual
source code for you. Unless you’re a programmer, this is
the one type of PLR where it’s usually best to get the
transferable rights, so you can simply pass the product
along with the PLR rights intact.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_David_ThoreauJust a bit more background:
Henry David Thoreau (born David Henry Thoreau; July 12, 1817 – May 6, 1862)[1] was an American author, poet, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, historian, philosopher, and leading transcendentalist. He is best known for his book Walden, a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings, and his essay, Civil Disobedience, an argument for individual resistance to civil government in moral opposition to an unjust state.

Thoreau’s books, articles, essays, journals, and poetry total over 20 volumes. Among his lasting contributions were his writings on natural history and philosophy, where he anticipated the methods and findings of ecology and environmental history, two sources of modern day environmentalism. His literary style interweaves close natural observation, personal experience, pointed rhetoric, symbolic meanings, and historical lore; while displaying a poetic sensibility, philosophical austerity, and “Yankee” love of practical detail.[2] He was also deeply interested in the idea of survival in the face of hostile elements, historical change, and natural decay; at the same time imploring one to abandon waste and illusion in order to discover life’s true essential needs.[3]

He was a lifelong abolitionist, delivering lectures that attacked the Fugitive Slave Law while praising the writings of Wendell Phillips and defending abolitionist John Brown. Thoreau’s philosophy of civil disobedience influenced the political thoughts and actions of such later figures as Leo Tolstoy, Mahatma Gandhi, and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Thoreau is sometimes cited as an individualist anarchist.[4] Though Civil Disobedience calls for improving rather than abolishing government – “I ask for, not at once no government, but at once a better government”[5] – the direction of this improvement aims at anarchism: “‘That government is best which governs not at all;’ and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have.”[5]

[edit] Early life and education
He was born David Henry Thoreau[6] in Concord, Massachusetts, to John Thoreau (a pencil maker) and Cynthia Dunbar. His paternal grandfather was of French origin and was born in Jersey.[7] His maternal grandfather, Asa Dunbar, was known for leading Harvard’s 1766 student “Butter Rebellion”,[8] the first recorded student protest in the United States.[9] David Henry was named after a recently deceased paternal uncle, David Thoreau. He did not become “Henry David” until after college, although he never petitioned to make a legal name change.[10] He had two older siblings, Helen and John Jr., and a younger sister, Sophia.[11] Thoreau’s birthplace still exists on Virginia Road in Concord and is currently the focus of preservation efforts. The house is original, but it now stands about 100 yards away from its first site.

Portrait of Thoreau from 1854.Amos Bronson Alcott and Thoreau’s aunt both wrote that “Thoreau” is pronounced like the word “thorough”, whose standard American pronunciation rhymes with “furrow”.[12] In appearance he was homely, with a nose that he called “my most prominent feature.”[13] Of his face, Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote: “[Thoreau] is as ugly as sin, long-nosed, queer-mouthed, and with uncouth and rustic, though courteous manners, corresponding very well with such an exterior. But his ugliness is of an honest and agreeable fashion, and becomes him much better than beauty.”[14] Thoreau also wore a neck-beard for many years, which he insisted many women found attractive. However, Louisa May Alcott reportedly mentioned to Ralph Waldo Emerson that Thoreau’s facial hair “will most assuredly deflect amorous advances and preserve the man’s virtue in perpetuity.”[15]

Ok, this is it! After a couple years of poetry, a few months of preparations and a few weeks of pulling things together, my new book Arroyo Ink is now for sale online!

I’m excited about this one, I think this is the best work I’ve put into print so far. It’s the fifth in the series of chapbooks that I have released since 2002, and like the rest of them, this is a hand-crafted, independently-produced piece of work. It also has strange illustrations in it drawn by myself and Adam Cooper-Terán. The illustrations are all based on remixed letterforms and will keep your eyes oh-so entertained.

I’m selling the books for $10, plus a couple bux for shipping. All purchases are handled by PayPal, which is a secure online payment company owned by eBay. 100% secure, not to worry. I know times are lean for everybody, but if you are able to plop down some virtual dollars, I’d love to put a book in the mail to you. I appreciate it.

The US book release performance was a couple weeks back in Bisbee, AZ, and it was more than I could have hoped for. Video art showcase, introduction by Adam Cooper-Terán, an hour-long performance of new poems and a reception featuring a showing of the fine art prints from the book. For all those who couldn’t be there, here’s the goods! Hopefully I’ll be touring a lot in the coming year, but until then:

Now available:

•Arroyo Ink book
•Illustrated postcards
•Fine art prints (limited editions!)
