Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - There's a centenarian and a soon-to-be centenarian, a Pulitzer Prize-nominated reporter who was an applicant for the NASA Journalist in Space Project, a former NFL running back for the New York Jets on teams with Joe Namath, a world traveler who's been to the Arctic and Antarctica, a Hungarian refugee whose family escaped the Holocaust and, later, Soviet rule, a former female U.S. Marine who's a Poet Laureate, a philosopher who had talk show host Dick Cavett's father as a teacher and got a ventriloquism lesson from Johnny Carson, a poet who met President Bill Clinton, acted with future Love Boat captain Gavin MacLeod and slept on a resort mattress once graced by Marilyn Monroe and Joltin' Joe DiMaggio, and a co-founder of Doctors Without Borders U.S.A. who was in the first class of women - and, first women's basketball player - at Princeton University.And that's just some of the 13 poets whose life experiences and keen observations are transformed into a refreshing collection of surprising, often breathtaking, poetry. Edited by Pulitzer Prize-nominated journalist and author John A. Valenti 3rd and former Nassau County Poet Laureate Evelyn Kandel, this collection includes their work and the work of a group of inspiring amateur poets: Hattie Abbey, Hank Bjorklund, Victoria Bjorklund, Lila Edelkind, John Lange, George Pafitis, Gladys Thompson Roth, Sheila Saferstein, George Strausman, Susan Aster Wallman and Judith Zilberstein. This amazing collection of poets met in a class taught by Kandel, a former U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant who appeared on a 1952 U.S. Postage Stamp featuring 'Women in Our Armed Services.' Quite simply, their work inspires, covering a wide array of subjects -- love, war, life, death, age, affliction, homelessness, gun violence, genocide, philosophical debate and a range of lighter, off-the-cuff, everyday fun and amusement.…

Inspired by one of the oldest unsolved missing child cases in U.S. history [the 1955 disappearance of Steven Damman] and other worldwide missing child cases like it, For Nothing Is Hidden, is a cautionary tale spanning more than 50 years -- from the initial disappearance of little Bobby Goodson to its impact on the already tenuous marriage of his small-town, middle America-raised parents en route to the unlikeliest of resolutions decades later. You'll think you'll know it all from the start. Truth is, you won't.The debut novel by John A. Valenti 3rd, a veteran national award-winning journalist for the Long Island, New York-based Newsday.Valenti's decades of insightful, in-depth reporting shine through as this novel explores the often untold strains of a criminal investigation, peeling back layers on the marriage of Driscoll and Colleen Goodson as police and the media pore through the smallest details of their lives in an attempt to find their missing son. Valenti ties in real crimes of the day -- the so-called 'Shooting of the Century' killing of millionaire William Woodward Jr. by his socialite wife Ann; the famed 'Boy in the Box' mystery -- in a seamless weave of events that blur the line between fact and fiction in this literary, historic crime novel.As BookLife, Publishers Weekly, said of the debut: 'Valenti skillfully probes the heartbreaking tragedy of missing child cases: the slow, unraveling grief of not knowing, the persistent hope that tomorrow may bring news, and the quiet terror of imagining the worst, all colliding against the exhausting machinery of police procedure, by necessity methodical and impersonal . . . There's a clean precision in how the investigation unfolds and a restraint in tone that sidesteps melodrama.'.…
