Book Synopsis Traveling with Ghosts by : Shannon Leone Fowler
Download or read book Traveling with Ghosts written by Shannon Leone Fowler and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-02-21 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “rich, unblinking” (USA TODAY) memoir that moves from grief to reckoning to reflection to solace as a marine biologist shares the solo worldwide journey she took after her fiancé suffered a fatal box jellyfish attack in Thailand. In the summer of 2002, Shannon Leone Fowler was a blissful twenty-eight-year-old marine biologist, spending the summer backpacking through Asia with the love of her life—her fiancé, Sean. He was holding her in the ocean’s shallow waters off the coast of Ko Pha Ngan, Thailand, when a box jellyfish—the most venomous animal in the world—wrapped around his legs, stinging and killing him in a matter of minutes, irreparably changing Shannon’s life forever. Untethered and unsure how to face returning to her life’s work—the ocean—Shannon sought out solace in a passion she shared with Sean: travel. Traveling with Ghosts takes Shannon on journeys both physical and emotional, weaving through her shared travels with Sean and those she took in the wake of his sudden passing. She ventured to mostly landlocked countries, and places with tumultuous pasts and extreme sociopolitical environments, to help make sense of her tragedy. From Oswiecim, Poland (the site of Auschwitz) to war-torn Israel, to shelled-out Bosnia, to poverty-stricken Romania, and ultimately, to Barcelona where she and Sean met years ago, Shannon began to find a path toward healing. Hailed as a “brave and necessary record of love” (Ann Patchett, New York Times bestselling author of Bel Canto and Commonwealth) and “as intricate and deep as memory itself (Jane Hamilton, author of A Map of the World), Shannon Leone Fowler has woven a beautifully rendered, profoundly moving memorial to those we have lost on our journeys and the unexpected ways their presence echoes in all places—and voyages—big and small.

Book Synopsis How Ghosts Travel by : James J. Siegel
Download or read book How Ghosts Travel written by James J. Siegel and published by . This book was released on 2016-02-02 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection seems to have been written with vapor-the unseen made visible through James Siegel's intuitive eye. The poems also form an elegy of place, Ohio. Personal phantoms populate this physical and metaphysical locus. Haunted by history and its ruins, the poet deciphers " t]hat fur-covered / folklore crawling out from under the skin." Recasting stanzas into incantations, Siegel conjures memories that "brush the sides of your face, / rest in the tangles of your hair." Finally, ghosts become the Holy Ghost, with "a congregation of wings," with "the rattle of the rosary." Angelic presences reify the ineffable. And from that perspective, the poet shows the reader how "the vault of the stars unlocks." Dean Kostos, author of "This Is Not a Skyscraper" and "Rivering" "How Ghosts Travel" is James Siegel's beautifully-atmospheric explication of his past, which here is ever-present. His voice, though casual and colloquial at times, is always tuned to the lyrical as he resurrects his childhood and young adulthood in industrial and small-town Ohio in poems scarred with heartbreak and loss. But what is perhaps most impressive about this debut collection is the sheer number of poems that remain vibrantly in mind long after they're read, among them "Fishing Photo, Circa 1984," "Boy Scout Blue," "Massillon," "Flatlands," "The Road," and "Serpent Mound," one of the most skillful love poems I've encountered. This is a book well worth the price of admission. Myrna Stone, author of "In The Present Tense: Portraits of My Father"and "The Casanova Chronicles" In"How Ghosts Travel," James J. Siegel tells us "you may leave behind your landscapes" but not without warning "we cannot expect the past to just stop talking." This collection channels that past, using crumbling maps, a oujia board, even the "bones of an ancient civilization unearthed where a parking lot was supposed to be" torevisit the "charged particles" of a childhood in suburban Ohio. Atribute to the Midwest of his parents and grandparents, Siegel observes "Factories close, families move, gears sigh one last time." But luckily there arethe drive-in theaters, Lake Erie fishing trips, County Fairs, and Boy Scout badges to remember.One would think this "world has slipped away" with "the drugstore windows filled with dust," but Siegel reminds us "Nature knows what to do" when "itfills the emptyspaces of the Ferris wheelwith thick birch branches." This book is a ride on that wheel, granting a view of the whole town, its industrial graveyards and abandoned homes made fertile again by their former lives and the poet who resurrects them. Michael Montlack, author of "Cool Limbo" (NYQ Books)"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine shuffling down Broadway through the hustle and bustle right into the nonstop, neon heart of New York City: 42nd Street. Once a quiet neighborhood of brownstones and churches, the area wastransformed in the early 1900s into an entertainment hub unlike any in theworld. No place has ever evoked the glamour and romantic possibility of bigcity nightlife as vividly as did 42nd Street. It was the dazzle of "naughty, bawdy, gaudy" 42nd Street that put Times Square on the map and turned the Broadway theater district into the Great White Way.

From the bold innovations of Oscar Hammerstein and Florenz Ziegfeld through the porn-laden 1960s and 1970s to the present-day "Disneyfication" of New York's bright lights district, Ghosts of 42nd Street is as fascinating as a tabloid frozen in time.
Book Synopsis Ghosts of Old Louisville by : David Domine
Download or read book Ghosts of Old Louisville written by David Domine and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2017-08-11 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Old Louisville in Louisville, Kentucky, is the third-largest National Preservation District in the United States and the largest Victorian-era neighborhood in the country. Beneath the balconies and terraces of the district's Gothic, Queen Anne, and Beaux Arts mansions, current residents trade riveting stories about their historic homes. Many of these tales defy rational explanation. When David Dominé moved into one of these houses, he dismissed local rumors of a resident poltergeist named Lucy. However, before long, unnerving, disembodied footsteps and mysterious odors caused him to flee his home in the middle of the night. Since that night, David Dominé not only embraced the possibility of supernatural phenomenon but also turned it into a popular tour series and best-selling collection of books, which have brought new attention to this iconic neighborhood. The book that launched the guided tours, Ghosts of Old Louisville, introduced readers to the hauntingly beautiful Lady of the Stairs and the Widow Hoag, who waits eternally near Fountain Court for a lost child who will never return. These tales of things that go bump in the night not only reveal why Old Louisville is considered the "most haunted neighborhood in America," but also help to preserve this historically and architecturally significant community.
