Download or read book Said Not Said written by Fred Marchant and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2017-05-02 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Fred Marchant teaches and awakens the soul.” —Maxine Hong Kingston someone in Benghazi with a hose in one hand uses his free one to wipe down the corpse water flows over the body and down a tilted steel tray toward the drain what washes off washes off —“Below the Fold” In this important and formally inventive new poetry collection, Fred Marchant brings us into realms of the intractable and the unacceptable, those places where words seem to fail us and yet are all we have. In the process he affirms lyric poetry’s central role in the contemporary moral imagination. As the National Book Award winner David Ferry writes, “The poems in this beautiful new book by Fred Marchant are autobiographical, but, as is always the case with his poems, autobiographical of how he has witnessed, with faithfully exact and pitying observation, the sufferings in the lives of other people, for example the heartbreaking series of poems about the fatal mental suffering of his sister, and the poems about other peoples, in Vietnam, in the Middle East, written about with the noble generosity of feeling that has always characterized his work, here more impressively even than before.” Said Not Said is a poet’s taking stock of conscience, his country’s and his own, and of poetry’s capacity to speak to what matters most.

Book excerpt: “Taylor’s dialogue is snappy and contemporary . . . A witty and often amusing family drama.”—Kirkus Reviews Kassie O’Callaghan’s meticulous plans to divorce her emotionally abusive husband, Mike, and move in with Chris, a younger man she met five years ago on a solo vacation in Venice, are disrupted when she finds out Mike has chronic kidney disease—something he’s concealed from her for years. Once again, she postpones her path to freedom—at least, until she pokes around his pajama drawer and discovers his illness is the least of his deceits. But Kassie is no angel, either. As she struggles to justify her own indiscretions, the secret lives she and Mike have led collide head-on, revealing a tangled web of sex, lies, and DNA. Still, mindful of her vows, Kassie commits to helping her husband find an organ donor. In the process, she uncovers a life-changing secret. Problem is, if she reveals it, her own immorality will be exposed, which means she has an impossible decision to make: Whose life will she save—her husband’s or her own?

Book excerpt: About The Bank Street Ready-To-Read Series More than seventy years of educational research and innovative teaching have given the Bank Street College of Education the reputation as America’s most trusted name in early childhood education. Because no two children are exactly alike in their development, we have designed the Bank Street Ready-to-Read series in three levels to accommodate the individual stages of reading readiness of children ages four through eight. • Level 1: Getting Ready To Read— (Pre-K to Grade 1) Books are perfect for reading aloud with children who are getting ready to read or are just beginning to read words or phrases. • Level 2: Reading Together—(Grades 1 to 3) Books are written especially for children who are on their way to reading independently but who may need help. • Level 3: I Can Read It Myself—(Grades 2 to 3) Books are designed for children able to read on their own. They also can be enjoyed as read-alouds.. Our three levels make it easy to select the books most appropriate for a child’s development and enable him or her to grow with the series step by step. The Bank Street Ready-to-Read books also overlap and reinforce each other, further encouraging the reading process. We feel that making reading fun and enjoyable is the single most important thing that you can do to help children become good readers. And we hope you’ll be a part of Bank Street’s long tradition of learning through sharing. —The Bank Street College of Education In this story based on "The Little Red Hen," a little black crow asks his animal friends to help with the planting of some sorn seed.

Book Synopsis Nobody Said Not to Go by : Ken Cuthbertson
Download or read book Nobody Said Not to Go written by Ken Cuthbertson and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2016-03-22 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A rip-roaring bio” of the trailblazing New Yorker journalist that “explore[s] both the passion and dissatisfaction that fueled Hahn’s wanderlust” (Entertainment Weekly). Emily Hahn first challenged traditional gender roles in 1922 when she enrolled in the University of Wisconsin’s all-male College of Engineering, wearing trousers, smoking cigars, and adopting the nickname “Mickey.” Her love of writing led her to Manhattan, where she sold her first story to the New Yorker in 1929, launching a sixty-eight-year association with the magazine and a lifelong friendship with legendary editor Harold Ross. Imbued with an intense curiosity and zest for life, Hahn traveled to the Belgian Congo during the Great Depression, working for the Red Cross; set sail for Shanghai, becoming a Chinese poet’s concubine; had an illegitimate child with the head of the British Secret Service in Hong Kong, where she carried out underground relief work during World War II; and explored newly independent India in the 1950s. Back in the United States, Hahn built her literary career while also becoming a pioneer environmentalist and wildlife conservator. With a rich understanding of social history and a keen eye for colorful details and amusing anecdotes, author Ken Cuthbertson brings to life a brilliant, unconventional woman who traveled fearlessly because “nobody said not to go.” Hahn wrote hundreds of acclaimed articles and short stories as well as fifty books in many genres, and counted among her friends Rebecca West, Ernest Hemingway, Dorothy Parker, James Thurber, Jomo Kenyatta, and Madame and General Chiang Kai-shek.
Book Synopsis The Evidence of Things Not Said by : Lawrie Balfour
Download or read book The Evidence of Things Not Said written by Lawrie Balfour and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Evidence of Things Not Said employs the rich essays of James Baldwin to interrogate the politics of race in American democracy. Lawrie Balfour advances the political discussion of Baldwin's work, and regards him as a powerful political thinker whose work deserves full consideration.Baldwin's essays challenge appeals to race-blindness and formal but empty guarantees of equality and freedom. They undermine white presumptions of racial innocence and simultaneously refute theories of persecution that define African Americans solely as innocent victims. Unsettling fixed categories, Baldwin's essays construct a theory of race consciousness that captures the effects of racial identity in everyday experience.Balfour persuasively reads Baldwin's work alongside that of W. E. B. Du Bois to accentuate how double consciousness works differently on either side of the color line. She contends that the allusiveness and incompleteness of Baldwin's essays sustains the tension between general claims about American racial history and the singularity of individual experiences. The Evidence of Things Not Said establishes Baldwin's contributions to democratic theory and situates him as an indispensable voice in contemporary debates about racial injustice.

Download or read book Enough Said written by Mark Thompson and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2016-09-06 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There’s a crisis of trust in politics across the western world. Public anger is rising and faith in conventional political leaders and parties is falling. Anti-politics, and the anti-politicians, have arrived. In Enough Said, President and CEO of The New York Times Company Mark Thompson argues that one of the most significant causes of the crisis is the way our public language has changed. Enough Said tells the story of how we got from the language of FDR and Churchill to that of Donald Trump. It forensically examines the public language we’ve been left with: compressed, immediate, sometimes brilliantly impactful, but robbed of most of its explanatory power. It studies the rhetoric of western leaders from Reagan and Thatcher to Berlesconi, Blair, and today’s political elites on both sides of the Atlantic. And it charts how a changing public language has interacted with real world events – Iraq, the financial crash, the UK's surprising Brexit from the EU, immigration – and led to a mutual breakdown of trust between politicians and journalists, to leave ordinary citizens suspicious, bitter, and increasingly unwilling to believe anybody. Drawing from classical as well as contemporary examples and ranging across politics, business, science, technology, and the arts, Enough Said is a smart and shrewd look at the erosion of language by an author uniquely placed to measure its consequences.

Book Synopsis That's Not What I Said by : Michael Cangemi
Download or read book That's Not What I Said written by Michael Cangemi and published by . This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do Not Resuscitate. D N R. Is this what it'll take, sticking a front yard lawn sign into the mud to get the entire world to understand I want a day off, from everything? The daily broadcasts, past, present, Orwellian future that recharges itself faster than a twenty four hour news cycle. Everything.Let's face it, whatever he says that she says that I said keeps everybody in business. Is it me or am I hearing "close enough for now" too often? Imagine the ensuing chaos, the incredibly long lines at mental health clinics across the nation if everybody settled for "close enough" and "good enough" instead of reaching for the stars. Would you want to sleep in an apartment building whose architectural framework was built on the guidelines of "good enough, for now"?I understand how trying to cross a bridge before reaching it might cause one trouble but waiting until the last possible moment to pay the tender isn't my way of ensuring a worry-free float down the river. Is it yours?Making your way through life at the speed of a sloth might work for some but, for anyone who has a liquid ounce of creative juice on the brain, skipping between the raindrops, expecting to remain dry until reaching your front doorstep, is a recipe for disaster.This book is an observational essay written with the foreknowledge that whatever I say will be repeated differently by him and, in another way, by her. Today's rules of candor, the self evident right to be yourself, have become a stage prop rigged to open up a path to dialog. Everybody wants to join the party, attendance on a resume will look good, and simply because the invitation was lost in the mail doesn't mean you're not welcome.We live in a freelance, divided state of interruption and misinterpretation. That's Not What I Said is my essay of opinions, my observations, my humorous attempt at getting you to see that as much as you want to believe we're not alike, we are. After reading this book, hearing you reach similar conclusion, of course, in your own royalty-free words in place of mine, let's hope we don't sue one another because of copy write infringement.And then what?Poof. I mean, what do you expect? You're standing in your front yard again. You know the neighbors are watching from their living room window, they can see you talking to yourself as clearly as the raindrops dripping from your nose. You don't have to hear what they're saying to one another because you've heard it before."There he goes again, that damn fool, sticking his DNR sign into the mud."He said she said I said. Still, you know they've got one thing correct. You are talking to yourself. And you already know that at the next patio barbecue they'll comment on how they saw your disheveled framework of a human being standing in the rain, muddied and mumbling nonsense to yourself exactly the way you did the last time and the time before that. Of all the neighborhoods across America you had to move into a cluster of amateur lip readers.You'll let them speak their minds, perhaps suggest that they too should write an observational essay and submit it to the local newspaper's opinion page editor. And after? When they're done editing the rain-washed words that had pooled at your feet, you give your response. "That's Not What I Said".
