Book excerpt: The first collection of poetry that allows us to see police officers not just as brutalizers or heroes but as complicated human beings in a position that is sometimes terrifying, sometimes rewarding and often questionable. On a daily basis police save lives, take lives, and risk their own lives. Existing books on police and policing give us a single point-of-view, a black and white story that portrays cops as either saints or villains. This exploration of the dynamic point of understanding makes Off The Cuffs unique. Divided into four sections--Eyewitnesses, Insiders, Victims & Perpetrators, and Dreamers--Off The Cuffs gives us a diversity of voices, telling stories of fear, apprehension, love, brutality, death, sorrow, joy, hope and resolve. Out of this multiplicity of voices: convicts, police, bike messengers and established poets such as Charles Simic, Martin Espada, Kevin Young and Colette Inez - emerges a dialogue showing us the infinite shades of blue that surround the profession and the profession's relationship to the society they are sworn to protect. Off The Cuffs adds an important and unheard piece to this body of work: the usually disparate voices of cops, prisoners and everyone in between engaging with one another within the pages of one book.

Book Synopsis How to Undress a Cop by : Sarah Cortez
Download or read book How to Undress a Cop written by Sarah Cortez and published by Arte Publico Press. This book was released on 2000-09-30 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ItÍs not every book of poetry that includes an ñOde to Body Armor.î But then, itÍs not every poet whose experience in academia includes a stint at the police academy. The poems of Sarah Cortez are tough-minded, verbally supple, and often deeply (even explicitly) erotic: You want me to come/ to you each night, drop my gun belt,/ lie along your muscled length . . . And each of these fifty lyric poems (with titles such as ñRosie Working Plain Clothes,î ñLas TÕas,î and ñAttempt to Locateî) displays CortezÍs many facets: the street smarts of a law-enforcement officer (deputy constable in HoustonÍs Harris County); the bilingual vocabulary of a proud Mexican American; the coolly analytic eye of a corporate accountant (as she once was); the linguistic dexterity of a Latin teacher (another former occupation); and the frank sensuality of a strong and spirited woman. Surveying fellow officers, friends, criminals, lovers, strangers, and family members, Sarah Cortez has learned that a bullet-proof vest may, with luck, protect the body, but keeping the heart from harm is a chancier and more mysterious affair. Long after the pages of How to Undress a Cop have been turned, her unique and distinctive voice will stir the blood and haunt the memory.

Download or read book Into The Fire written by Robert Schinzel and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-05-08 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book of poetry about police and fire from the view of a retired law enforcement officer and firefighter. Police are in the news every day, often shown in an unfavorable light. Their role as rule-keepers in society is frequently misunderstood, the officers judged too quickly by visceral emotion before facts are fully collected and revealed, or legal and procedural issues completed. This collection of poems attempts to give faces to cops, a clearer look at the challenges and responses confronting them today, their paranoia, the rationale behind decision-making, their fears and attitudes. Law enforcement personnel are put into situations where expectations are simply too high, no outcome good enough, no answer the right one, all choices debatable, leaving police vulnerable to vilification, criticism and attack. By virtue of their work, they are often exposed to events that force them to respond in crises, to make decisions that affect other people's lives. Cops respond out of duty, sometimes successful in resolving issues, sometimes not, and only on the rarest of occasions, committing some nefarious act, which other cops find just as reprehensible as would the loudest vocal critic. The entire profession doesn't deserve to be judged based on the acts of a few who step outside the bounds of their authority or law. To cover the subject of public service, it also seems appropriate to include poems about fires and firefighters. The close relationship and overlap between police and fire may not be recognized at first glance, but risks and dangers are shared by them all, the stresses and unpredictable threats as common denominators.My personal views in these poems may be tainted and show a certain bias, but no more so than opposing views. At least they are based on thirty-five years in the trenches, most of that time as city cop and federal agent, plus a few early years as wildland firefighter, and a couple years as arson investigator. One common thread that weaves its way through the poems is that cops and firefighters are people, facing the same personal issues as everyone else. They are not heroes or cyborgs who possess abilities beyond the normal, though their actions may occasionally be heroic. They have problems at home the same as anyone else, bills to pay, lawns to mow. Public safety personnel are a cross-section of society - they are you. The word "fire" as used in this collection has several meanings, the most obvious is that of actual flames and burning. It also expresses the idea "...in the line of fire," describing the path of a bullet, someone as a target solely because of a profession or uniform. In a more general sense, and predominantly as used in this collection, the term describes the world's chaos, the wild and uncontrolled events involving imperfect humans, cops and citizens and what lies between, with all the differences of opinion, the human condition at its highest and lowest. Maybe this book of poems can shed a different light on how we view cops and firefighters. It is not intended to defend them, but to expose them, make it clear these are fellow human beings thrust into almost impossible situations. Imagine if these poems could put readers for just a few moments into the middle of those daily challenges, to envision for themselves how they might respond stepping into the fire.
Download or read book Poetic Injustice written by Bonnie Beck and published by Ampress. This book was released on 2014-11-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Poetic Injustice poet/cop Bonnie Beck brings to us the real life of a police officer on the beat, which turns out to be funny, heartbreaking, frustrating, nightmarish, and, most odd, loving. The encounters she describes with meth addicts, dealers, suicide corpses, families starving in heatless winter dumps, prostitutes, and various hustlers of all stripes, are rendered with unsentimental, muscular language--the poems breathe, they live. Again and again, coming in contact (as cops do) with people at the absolute worst moments of their lives, Beck does her legal duty cleanly and efficiently. But then she goes an extra step, buying gloves for the young thief released on a chilly winter day, slipping money to a prostitute who ends up calling her Pig on the street, ordering pizza for the family of a woman and her young children living in decadent poverty, remarking mildly to herself, "strange that you are picky about the toppings." It is a stark world, in which no good deed goes unpunished, and most of the action takes place at night, with "only sorrow in the sun." The fact that the poet can continue on with any sense of hope at all is miraculous. But, somehow, she does. The worlds of poet and police officer seem to be, in fact and in fiction, a cosmos apart.

Book Synopsis Once A Policeman Anthology of Philosophical Poetry by : Walter Childress
Download or read book Once A Policeman Anthology of Philosophical Poetry written by Walter Childress and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I once overheard a respective member of my high school football team use the word philosopher. Secretly, I was ashamed I didn't know what he was talking about. It was then I realized the importance of having a better vocabulary. After high school, like so many in the south, and other places, I joined the military as it was a poor-man's-college. A place to learn a trade and have a respected position in society. The basic requirement that one had to take responsibility for his own actions was quickly, and unceremoniously, taught to those unfortunate enough not to already know. To 'pack your own mud', meant that it was your duty to be ready for what comes. Being a cop, basically, means the same if you're to occupy a respected position in the society. Life's boot-camp soon teaches, however, that you're not exempt from the law's of circumstance because of some title. And, though you would like to be 'all things to all people', you're soon awakened to the fact that only politicians can play at that game. One that has unfairly burdened police-work beyond sensible accountability-A real threat to all, in fact. As a cop, you have to settle for being 'just' a representative of the law; not the law itself. Your job is important enough as you stand in the 'rawest' of positions, literally, 'where the rubber meets the road'. That being, where the citizen gives over his freedoms to you by giving-into your demands/requests. Mistreat a good American too harshly, and he/she just may want to kill you, or wish someone else would. Certainly not in the best of circumstances; the worst being that one may be intent on killing you anyway just because you are a cop. Regrettably, the above lesson isn't well taught in the academy. You have to learn at your own peril also, not sufficiently taught, is there are no 'fun fights' with the cops. If someone will fight you, and should overcome you, he/she can then kill you with your own gun! What's to stop them? It is only the cops that are accused of using excessive force by too many political-minded folks! In short, there are too many boots parading around that didn't have to endure boot-camp; learning that rights/responsibilities are wedded by the law's of nature, not by the whims/fantasies of fools-on either side of the badge!
