The Body As Haunted
The Body as Haunted is the debut poetry collection of Pixie Bruner. Like a cat, she has led many lives. This themed collection centers around the theme of the body and all the ways it is, and can be haunted, for good and ill, yet carries on. This is her family ghosts, the dead, her almost death and rebirth from cancer, madness, passion, her fears, her fury, and so much abundant and dangerous love, told without mercy and contains selections covering over 30 years of spoken word pieces and poetry.

    Can someone explain to me what is so punk about steampunk? Or any of these subgenres. Why slap punk at the end of it? Why not give these subgenres their own unique name instead? I haven't seen anything punk about steampunk. I like the whole concept behind steampunk, but I don't see anything punk about it.

    • @AFStewart
      @AFStewart 2 дні тому

      The name was derived from the term cyberpunk and was coined by author K. W. Jeter. Fringe societies or the concept of anarchy are often themes in these books, so yes, there can be a "punk" element to the genre.

    • @AFStewart
      @AFStewart 2 місяці тому

      A romance genre always comes down to the ending. If it doesn't have the Happily Ever After or Happy for Now, fans will say not romance.

  • @MargaretPinard

    I can't remember if it was this presentation or another one, but someone asked about 'YA' being a genre, and I thought that was an important delineation: an age category tells you nothing about the story, but it does tell you about some expectations, namely age of protagonist and probably no graphic violence or sex. But it might be confusing for people thinking about genre to have that thrown in! (not that you did, Anita, but in general) 😇

    • @AFStewart
      @AFStewart 2 місяці тому

      YA is technically not a genre, but a marketing category and label. But the edges there are a bit muddled.

    This was really comforting. I have been writing my first book, which is daunting enough, but have felt so discouraged lately like it won’t matter because of looming AI. People in my life telling me “oh just ask chat gbt to make your characters up”…. same with art. I’ve stopped painting due to the discouragement… people bringing me their AI art and acting like it’s the same as a painting that took me a month. What a weird time to be alive

    • @AFStewart

    UPDATE: IngramSpark has made some changes to its wholesale discounts for retailers that affect author royalties. This means charging higher prices for books (for the US anyway) or lower royalties. And while IngramSpark still reigns supreme for distribution, this change puts Amazon as the frontrunner with higher royalties at lower costs for readers.
