Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Tender, loving and visceral, Ovarium is a pamphlet of poems about a giant ovarian cyst. The poet charts her journey with the cyst, from diagnosis to surgery to recovery, via a landscape of scanner rooms and hospital wards. The poems explore the impact of illness, and the body as a site of disgust and shame but also healing and endurance. Ingham's poems are forensic as she looks at the disorientating and sometimes patriarchal language of anatomy and medicine, and the way illness can change the relationship we have with our own bodies. I tried to think of you as fruit, growingagainst the sun-warm wall of my gut. Melon-headed, you nudged the leafy organs, dug out a place for yourself in the plot. I never guessed. I was only bloody earthto you, a coldframe full of light. - from 'Cyst'.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - At the third anniversary of the May 2010 Tivoli Gardens incursion, the wounds of the residents are as raw as when they were first inflicted; hate for officials like the security forces and government and opposition politicians alike runs hotly through the veins of community citizens and their relatives far and wide. As the country waits with bated breath for the Commission of Enquiry that will bring the stories to the surface, the silent rage seethes in emotional cauldrons, like a time bomb, waiting to explode.This novella is Imani Tafari-Ama's imaginative conjuring of fiction from facts too gruesome to be believed and too horrific to remain hidden. This testimonial treatment of the Tivoli Gardens siege-as the Public Defender defines that remarkable event and the torturous road to a still unrealized recover-is the call of all concerned, to conscience and a refusal to treat silence as an option.While this novella is historically located in the context of real events surrounding the Tivoli incursion and refers to public figures that were involved in that incident, all characters represented are fictitious and unrelated to the citizens of Tivoli Gardens and the actual experiences that they went through during the security forces' siege of their community. Any resemblance of these characters or their stories to what actually happened is therefore coincidental.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'A book of fascinations. Of poems as enthusiasms, that happened, in time, once ago, and now have expanded into permanence. For what else is a book but this in fact Presently is a significant debut for British poetry, or rather for those interested in a British poetry of expanse, which can carry the potential of the performative, the visual, the conceptual and the lyrical, together. Together being the operative word.A volume that breaks ground for the poem score as an idea, calling to David Antin as readily as Ian Hamilton Finlay. A book of the future then, but made of autodidacticism, of research and revelation, of bountiful, communal, heartfelt, innovative poetry.'SJ Fowler.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - FACE CUT OUT FOR LOCKET is Jenn Blair's fourth collection of poetry. Her previous collections are MALCONTENT (winner of American Popular Culture's Press Americana Poetry Prize), THE SHEEP STEALER (Hyacinth Girl Press), and ALL THINGS ARE ORDERED (Finishing Line Press). Her work has been published in such journals as RATTLE, the KENYON REVIEW, COPPER NICKEL, PEMBROKE MAGAZINE, the BERKLEY POETRY REVIEW, ATTICUS REVIEW, SOUTHAMPTON REVIEW, CHATTAHOOCHEE REVIEW, APPALACHIAN REVIEW, the SOUTH CAROLINA REVIEW, NEW SOUTH, and the TULANE REVIEW among others. A former recipient of Broad River Press's Ron Rash Poetry Prize and a Dorothy B. Sargent Rosenberg Poetry Award, she teaches writing at Lander University, Lee University, and the University of Georgia. In Jenn Blair's FACE CUT OUT FOR LOCKET, voices of the past and present reckon with violence, guilt, doubt, and grief, even as they hope for grace. Blair reveals the rural landscape's hard truths along with its beauty in this place where 'anybody would tremble.' With taut, unsparing language, she exhorts the reader to 'retie your skittish mind to its/ stern tether of sinew and shank,' to pay attention to 'porch-light, leaf-litter, bone rot.' I am grateful to Blair's exacting eye for bearing witness to the anguish residing in each of us. -Carrie Green, author of STUDIES OF FAMILIAR BIRDS Jenn Blair's FACE CUT OUT FOR LOCKET opens with 'earth clinging / to the roots of wild.' In this poem, the wild takes the form of onions, but throughout her collection, such wild exists in a world which is often too gorgeous, too trying to measure. 'What do I do / what do I do / but there, at day's end, / wordlessly nod ' However, Blair's poems are committed to documenting the 'light pour[ing] through,' her poems full of shimmer amidst the urge to decipher it all. 'Have I ever done / it even once. Willingly let go. / Of anything ' These wonderful poems are a cartography of witness, of beauty, of experience. -Sara Henning, author of VIEW FROM TRUE NORTH and TERRA INCOGNITA? Reading this collection is a pilgrimage, a pensive path, of hard travel, largely rural, through 19th century and modern voices, sustained by minor comforts-moments of tenderness-'speckles of light.' Blair's careful discernment of heartbreaking violences, large and small, is executed with exquisite imagery and masterful idiom. Carrying the burden of mortality, and keen to the many ways that we fail one another, her narrators often offer counter-odes: poems of observant lives, luminously lyrical in their suffering. -Heather Matesich Cousins, author of SOMETHING IN THE POTATO ROOM.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Growing up a Protestant in Catholic Ireland during the 1950s and '60s had its moments. and in the coastal town of Arklow, they were overwhelmingly good. Common struggles to make ends meet, stay healthy and raise happy families created a spirit of community that largely transcended any theological differences. Children played together, adults worked, sang and drank together, and when they went their separate ways, they did so in a spirit of equanimity. In this engaging memoir, Richard Ruxton draws on a rich vein of characters, their idiosyncrasies, foibles and plenty of childish 'divilment' to create a story full of Irish humour about the people and places that coloured his young life and eased the 'duration' of his school years. Throughout, he paints a picture of times which, though simpler, were not without their own complications, tragedies and triumphs, where surviving on one's wits was an art form best kept to yourself.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.In the bitter Christmas cold of a Maryland winter, Delaino Riodan, orphaned heir to his Conlan fortune, finally decides that enough is enough and flees the clutches of his abusive family. With him are the only two friends he's ever known-Tucker, a family slave, and Raj, an exquisitely-trained stallion Del stole from his grandfather's stables. Together they head west in search of Delaino's long-lost father, Daniel, and the promise of life and liberty on the far end of the famed Oregon Trail. Drunk on the hope and enthusiasm of newfound freedom, none of them understand the dangers that haunt their every step. Ahead lay the vast and wild frontier, filled with untold wonders as awe-inspiring as they are lethal. Behind stalks the murderous rage of Del's megalomaniacal uncle, Beaux Conlan. Left penniless by his nephew's birth, Beaux looks to remedy that problem once and for all and retrieve his property-Tucker and Raj-at all costs. Can Del and Tucker find their way across the lawless plains, or will they join the thousands of unlucky souls that came before them filling unmarked graves on the trail to the promised land of Oregon An epic and realistic story of life on the edge of civilization, debut author Michael Lee captures perfectly the gritty essence of America's great eighteenth-century journey into the West-a journey toward the kind of destiny, freedom, and manhood only the American frontier can forge.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Every zombie movie has a terrifying underlying message. The enemy isn't supernatural or an alien from another planet. 'The enemy is . . . us!' The 'undead' -- mutated humans, grotesque versions of their previous selves -- are destroying everything in their path and bringing about the downfall of civilization. Even worse, they are contagious, gradually absorbing the few survivors left into the hoard. In Spiteful Mutants, evolutionary psychologist Edward Dutton argues that we are experiencing a 'zombie apocalypse' of our own. The critical threat to civilization is not so much enemies abroad as it is nihilistic and self-destructive tendencies within our own populations. Dutton examines such salient social phenomena through a Darwinian lens: from BLM to QAnon; from those seeking sexual transformation to the Incels who don't have sex at all; from atheists to those with a religious zeal for 'social justice.' All these phenomena can best be understood as genetic results of the Industrial Revolution. Human evolution is an ongoing process. The question of who we, as a species, will become is a matter of who is being selected for in a particular ecology. Before industrialization, child mortality was the crucible of evolution: those who were physically and mentally sick -- that is, who possessed high levels of genetic mutation -- rarely survived into adulthood. The Industrial Revolution, and resultant medical advances, brought about the collapse of child mortality, allowing the explosive growth of people who are highly mutated in body and mind, and who would not have otherwise survived. These mutants, walking among us, are 'spiteful' in the sense that they actively affect the functioning of the group. They generate polarization and chaos, depravity and dysphoria, and even the gradual collapse of fertility. A new specter is haunting the industrialized world, the specter of Spiteful Mutants, a menace of our own making.'A ripping yarn, though a handsomely footnoted, scientific one. There is also a seductive, meta-level lesson hidden in plain sight. Until and unless opinion leaders return to a biologically informed survivalism, the West will continue to decline.'Dr. Frank SalterFormerly of the Max Planck InstituteEdward Dutton is Professor of Evolutionary Psychology at Asbiro University. Born in London in 1980, Dutton read Theology at Durham University, before completing a PhD in Religious Studies at Aberdeen University in 2006. He is based in Oulu in northern Finland. His books include Making Sense of Race (2020), Witches, Feminism, and the Fall of the West (2021), Islam: An Evolutionary Perspective (2021), among many others.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This book is a new interpretation of the fall of later medieval Scotland's greatest noble family, the Black Douglases, in 1455. The discussion reaches back in time to over a century before, as the family began its rise to the pinnacle of Scottish society. The killing of William eighth earl of Douglas by King James II in 1452 receives particular attention, as also the way in which he, his brother James (his successor as earl), and their predecessors exercised their power and authority as earls and lords. The identifiable failings of the Douglases in this regard are the key to understanding the catastrophe that befell the family in 1455. The book's principal analytical tool is the law relevant to these events and the specific meaning and significance of the documents (which is often a legal question) that evidence them. This form of analysis is at least as relevant as any based more on contests for raw power, with 'legal consciousness' a vital feature of Scottish noble society.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - All the works gathered in this volume were written in response to the following call for submissions: Henry David Thoreau says in Walden that 'the cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life, which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run.' These are some examples: the musician who sells his soul for amazing talent; the parent who misses a child's event to excel at work; the child who throws over a friendship in exchange for popularity.When I told a friend that I had acquired a free cat, my friend quickly replied, 'No such thing as a free cat.' When my late grandfather's leather chair became a wildly expensive scratching post, I remembered my friend's sage wisdom.Your Publications Committee requests member original submissions, fiction or non-fiction, that explore What It Cost. Feel free to interpret cost beyond financial.It's easy to wax effusive about the chosen pieces, some profound, all personal reflections. But such pomp is unnecessary as the works stand on their own merits, just like the papers written and delivered from the podium at every meeting. Enjoy.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The Book of Proverbs, attributed to King Solomon, is a profound collection of Jewish wisdom, song, and inspiration. Yet to contemporary readers, the text can appear vague, ambiguous, and contradictory.

Using his signature blend of social justice practice and Jewish thought from throughout history, Rabbi Yanklowitz shows how the words of Proverbs are strikingly pertinent to issues we face today. Drawing on a wide range of sources, Rabbi Yanklowitz explores such topics as income inequality, feminism, animal rights, environmentalism, and many more. The author's commentary is paired with the full text of Proverbs-in both Hebrew and an updated, gender-accurate translation-so readers can glean their own insights. …
