Love Poems to God
Anita Barrows - 1997-04-01 (publicado por primera vez en 1905)
Calificación de Goodreads
Experience Rainer Maria Rilke's powerful spirituality in Rilke's Book of Hours, a work of spontaneously received prayers that offers a vision of spiritual practice for the modern world. Discover a new kind of intimacy with the divine in a reciprocal relationship where God needs us as much as we need God. Through fresh translations by Joanna Macy and Anita Barrows, Rilke's Book of Hours captures the poet's spirit like never before.

@RealGDT I’ve been reading poetry too, G. Bite-sized but filling. Been reading a lot of my favorite - Robin Coste Lewis. And also Rilke’s Book of Hours. This one has brought me comfort through a lot of what’s been going on. It’s been my daily companion.      fuente

Creating Memorable Performances for Film & Television
Judith Weston - 1999-07-01 (publicado por primera vez en 1996)
Calificación de Goodreads
This is essential reading for anyone interested in directing or acting. Judith Weston's brilliance is to recognize that directors, actors, writers, and technicians are involved in a process that is at essence a collaboration. In order for them to have the best shot at creating something true and meaningful, they must share a language and a method of exchange that fosters creative cooperation. Weston rightly sees the director as the central figure in inspiring the energy of a production's harmony. She advises the prospective director on every aspect of a stage or film production, showing how the director can draw the best performances possible from actors.

Couldn’t resist one more. Two books for directing that helped me so much until I found my own language are MAKING MOVIES by the great Sidney Lumet and DIRECTING ACTORS by my former teacher @JudithWeston.      fuente
Así se hacen las películas book cover
Así se hacen las películas
Sidney Lumet - 1996-03-19 (publicado por primera vez en 1995)
Calificación de Goodreads
Qué lleva a un director a escoger determinado guión? ¿Qué hay que hacer para mantener el ánimo de un actor o una actriz después de un montón de tomas de la misma escena? ¿Cómo se organiza una escena que implica a más de cien extras y tres vehículos que colisionan, en pleno centro de la ciudad? Así se hacen las películas es una exposición magistral de cómo son las cosas en el cine, que presenta el proceso paso a paso, con claridad, un estilo ameno y montones de anécdotas. Su autor, uno de los directores americanos más prestigiosos, ofrece a la vez las memorias de un profesional y una guía definitiva sobre el arte, la técnica y el negocio de la realización cinematográfica. Lumet recurre a su propia experiencia para contar, con entusiasmo y pasión, cómo del trabajo concienzudo y las decisiones acertadas resultan metros y metros de celuloide mágico. Sidney Lumet cuenta con más de cuarenta años de experiencia en la dirección cinematográfica, y ha sido candidato al Oscar en cuatro ocasiones. Nacido en Filadelfia en 1924, adquirió primero una notable formación teatral, a la que recurrirá muchas veces a lo largo de su carrera cinematográfica. En 1951 debutó en televisión, y de ahí saltó a la pantalla grande con la película Doce hombres sin piedad. Otros títulos destacados de su filmografía son: Serpico, Asesinato en el Orient Express, Veredicto final y La noche cae sobre Manhattan.

This book tells the story of a man who spent thirty years on death row for a crime he didn't commit. Despite his wrongful imprisonment, he finds hope and joy through the power of reading and is ultimately able to transform himself and those around him. With a foreword by a civil rights attorney, this powerful memoir showcases the strength of the human spirit in the face of injustice.

An extraordinarily book about an extraordinarily life. Anthony Ray Hinton’s story inspired many things within me. Mainly, the idea of radical forgiveness. Don’t know if I could forgive what he went through, but I loved reading about how he did. And trying to learn how for myself.      fuente
