Paperback. Condición: Good. What is Wen Kroy? It is New York spelled backwards, and when people come to the city in their youth, how can it be anything but? Through these poems, we come to love and understand the hardships of being young and the difficulty of building a self. Sheila Black uses the city as a character in the discovery of a self through love, passion, fear, and, in the end, empathy. -Jennifer Bartlett Some poets blindfold themselves to better see in the dark, others bravely face the day. Sheila Black is one of those. Big-hearted, generous, all-embracing, the poems in her stunning new book Wen Kroy awake us to a world where the ordinary is radiant, transfigured and at the furthest frontiers of experience pain shines like pleasure. - L. S. Asekoff Enter here Black's ghost-city held up to a mirror, her heart (your heart) on her lap like a terrible red baby. From the velvet, smoky hush of a room the moon is in and straight out into the streets and vacant lots and snow, Black spares us no thing. or Here is ruin and the blue-edged shadow we cling to, Lou Reed or Billy Bang playing the darkness. How I love the rage and tenderness in this voice. Indeed, nothing but simple aria and/ the glass breaks. -Joni Wallace This is a fantastic book. Sheila Black is a master of metaphor. In First Love she transforms loneliness into a raincoat pricked with so many holes. These poems speak expertly of desire, difference and danger. Wen Kroy captures all the motley messy details / of daily life with spontaneity and verve. - Jillian Weise Sheila Black is the author of House of Bone and Love/Iraq (both CW Press).

Hardback. Condición: Fair. Winborn was a Naval lieutenant attached to the 14th Army Air Force to serve as a Technical Air Intelligence inspector. Learning that an enemy plane was down, a team of one or two Americans plus a Chinese interpreter would sally forth to wherever the plane might be, bringing back intelligence of the capabilities of enemy airplanes. Compilations of this data made it possible to keep tabs on Japanese manufacturing plants, indicating which were the most suitable bombing targets. Winborn tells his story in an informal, understated, conversational style that ranges from the humorous to the poignantly tragic. Each American was given a Chinese name, i.e. a transliteration in Chinese characters which when spoken sounded something like his name in English. Winborn's was "Wen bon," typically pronounced "Wunbun." The best interpretation of its meaning is "the pen is mightier than the sword." A small neat stone "chop," or stamp, with "Wen bon" and characters for "his chop" carved in it, served as Winborn's legal signature anywhere in China. At the end of World War II, Winborn was ordered to Shanghai, where he and other junior officers steeped in the unconventional ways of southeastern China contributed their "can-do" talents to the Naval Air Priorities Office. …
