How might I attempt to turn each of them into something artful?I know I have captured those habitual reflections; as to how artful the results are, others will have to decide. I make the poems available in the hope that some readers might enjoy them, and might judge that the second part of my program, the intended artfulness, may have had some success.

Book Synopsis American Gold Digger by : Brian Donovan
Download or read book American Gold Digger written by Brian Donovan and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2020-10-05 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stereotype of the "gold digger" has had a fascinating trajectory in twentieth-century America, from tales of greedy flapper-era chorus girls to tabloid coverage of Anna Nicole Smith and her octogenarian tycoon husband. The term entered American vernacular in the 1910s as women began to assert greater power over courtship, marriage, and finances, threatening men's control of legal and economic structures. Over the course of the century, the gold digger stereotype reappeared as women pressed for further control over love, sex, and money while laws failed to keep pace with such realignments. The gold digger can be seen in silent films, vaudeville jokes, hip hop lyrics, and reality television. Whether feared, admired, or desired, the figure of the gold digger appears almost everywhere gender, sexuality, class, and race collide. This fascinating interdisciplinary work reveals the assumptions and disputes around women's sexual agency in American life, shedding new light on the cultural and legal forces underpinning romantic, sexual, and marital relationships.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who among us have not passed a beggar in the street? Or who among us has not looked upon the disheveled shell of another human and thought, “How could a person allow themselves to come to such a condition of utter worthlessness?” We invite you into a world that exists just below the surface of our everyday life. Come travel the roadways of the disenfranchised and the marginalized within our society. If you dare, turn these pages and read fact, not fiction, about the lives the author has encountered and by whom it made the difference between life and death! The characters are colorful, roguish, full of mischievous intent, and above all else, deeply compassionate in helping their assigned community. These are the people among which a new road traveler found himself. In an instance of happenstance or divine intervention, a young man comes across a community and mentor that become his guiding lights. Read as the story unfurls how an empty soul finds the filling of light in the darkest of moments. One of the Many is of moments in which things become revealed, and some things are shown to have existed all the time without our ever seeing them. These are the “Aha!” moments that bring clarity to troubling problems and solutions in dilemmas. In the final analysis, what starkly stands out is that sometimes facts are indeed stranger than fiction. This is especially true when it comes to judging others by what we see.
