In addition, poignant vignettes portray friends and strangers he met on his travels. And he includes a touch of romance. Whitaker aimed to preserve the age old traditions of cowboy history and lifestyle through his rhyming stories and musings.

Book Synopsis Come the Slumberless To the Land of Nod by : Traci Brimhall
Download or read book Come the Slumberless To the Land of Nod written by Traci Brimhall and published by Copper Canyon Press. This book was released on 2020-03-31 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written during the trial for a close friend’s murder, Come the Slumberless to the Land of Nod exposes that the whimsical, horrible, and absurd all sit together. In this ambitious fourth collection, Traci Brimhall corresponds with the urges of life and death within herself as she lives through a series of impossibilities: the sentencing of her friend’s murderers, the birth of her child, the death of her mother, divorce, a trip sailing through the Arctic. In lullaby, lyric essay, and always with brutal sincerity, Brimhall examines how beauty and terror live right alongside each other––much like how Nod is both a fictional dreamscape and the place where Cain is exiled for murdering Abel. By plucking at the tensions between life and death, love and hate, truth and obscurity, Brimhall finds what it is that ties opposing themes together; how love and loss are married in grief. Like Eve thrust from Eden, Brimhall is tasked with finding meaning in a world defined by its cruelty. Unrelenting, incisive, and tender, these poems expose beauty in the grotesque and argue that the effort to be good always outweighs the desire to succumb to what is easy.
Book Synopsis The Country I Come From by : Kathryn Hunt
Download or read book The Country I Come From written by Kathryn Hunt and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-01-29 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plainspoken and unflinching, woven from "scraps and rumors, whispers and imaginings," these intimate poems chronicle a violent and troubled history on the North American Plains and the lives of white and indigenous family members, the living and the dead, and their relationships to one another and to the land. The Country I Come From celebrates the harsh and enduring beauty of the vast grasslands and its inhabitants, beginning in a time before time when life "woke from Nothing into This: An incandescence of meteors." The poems are drenched in wonderment and silence, miseries and mysteries, and the stubborn cargo of our individual and collective histories. Eschewing the myths of the Old West, The Country I Come From reimagines the stories of women and men for whom few records were kept, honors their lives, and explores the nature of desire, loss, and belonging. The Country I Come From is a sung hymn to the good earth, and a mourning prayer. The poems are meant to heal, and they do.-Lauren Davis, Home Beneath the Church and The Missing Ones These poems look across the wide ranges of the land in its fullness and haunt the ordinary fabric of our lives. They carve an enduring two-track road through our existence.-Diane Glancy, The Dream of a Broken Field and Island of the Innocent: a Consideration of the Book of Job
Book Synopsis Children of the Land by : Marcelo Hernandez Castillo
Download or read book Children of the Land written by Marcelo Hernandez Castillo and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-01-28 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An NPR Best Book of the Year A 2020 International Latino Book Award Finalist An Entertainment Weekly, The Millions, and LitHub Most Anticipated Book of the Year This unforgettable memoir from a prize-winning poet about growing up undocumented in the United States recounts the sorrows and joys of a family torn apart by draconian policies and chronicles one young man’s attempt to build a future in a nation that denies his existence. “You were not a ghost even though an entire country was scared of you. No one in this story was a ghost. This was not a story.” When Marcelo Hernandez Castillo was five years old and his family was preparing to cross the border between Mexico and the United States, he suffered temporary, stress-induced blindness. Castillo regained his vision, but quickly understood that he had to move into a threshold of invisibility before settling in California with his parents and siblings. Thus began a new life of hiding in plain sight and of paying extraordinarily careful attention at all times for fear of being truly seen. Before Castillo was one of the most celebrated poets of a generation, he was a boy who perfected his English in the hopes that he might never seem extraordinary. With beauty, grace, and honesty, Castillo recounts his and his family’s encounters with a system that treats them as criminals for seeking safe, ordinary lives. He writes of the Sunday afternoon when he opened the door to an ICE officer who had one hand on his holster, of the hours he spent making a fake social security card so that he could work to support his family, of his father’s deportation and the decade that he spent waiting to return to his wife and children only to be denied reentry, and of his mother’s heartbreaking decision to leave her children and grandchildren so that she could be reunited with her estranged husband and retire from a life of hard labor. Children of the Land distills the trauma of displacement, illuminates the human lives behind the headlines and serves as a stunning meditation on what it means to be a man and a citizen.
Book Synopsis Land Where I Flee by : Prajwal Parajuly
Download or read book Land Where I Flee written by Prajwal Parajuly and published by Quercus. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the Dylan Thomas Prize, Prajwal Parajuly has established himself as a distinctive voice in literature about the South Asian diaspora. Now in his debut novel, Land Where I Flee about returning home, Parajuly demonstrates that he is, as Manil Suri noted, "a master capturing, with wit and humor, the day-to-day interactions between his characters." To commemorate Chitralekha Nepauney's Chaurasi--her landmark eighty-fourth birthday--three of Chitralekha's grandchildren are travelling to Gangtok, Sikkim, to pay their respects. Agastaya is flying in from New York. Although a successful oncologist, he is dreading his family's inquisition into why he is not married, and terrified that the reason for his bachelordom will be discovered. Joining him are his sisters Manasa and Bhagwati, travelling from London and Colorado respectively. One the Oxford-educated achiever; the other the disgraced eloper--one moneyed but miserable; the other ostracized but optimistic. All three harbor the same dual objective: to emerge from the celebrations with their formidable grandmother's blessing and their nerves intact: a goal that will become increasingly impossible thanks to a mischievous maid and a fourth, uninvited guest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! “If you liked Where the Crawdads Sing, you’ll love This Tender Land...This story is as big-hearted as they come.” —Parade The unforgettable story of four orphans who travel the Mississippi River on a life-changing odyssey during the Great Depression. In the summer of 1932, on the banks of Minnesota’s Gilead River, Odie O’Banion is an orphan confined to the Lincoln Indian Training School, a pitiless place where his lively nature earns him the superintendent’s wrath. Forced to flee after committing a terrible crime, he and his brother, Albert, their best friend, Mose, and a brokenhearted little girl named Emmy steal away in a canoe, heading for the mighty Mississippi and a place to call their own. Over the course of one summer, these four orphans journey into the unknown and cross paths with others who are adrift, from struggling farmers and traveling faith healers to displaced families and lost souls of all kinds. With the feel of a modern classic, This Tender Land is an enthralling, big-hearted epic that shows how the magnificent American landscape connects us all, haunts our dreams, and makes us whole.
