Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pineywoods Summer Haiku, by poet and neuroscientist Judith Lauter, provides a photographic and poetic experience of a midsummer’s day deep in the pine forests of East Texas, in and around the college town of Nacogdoches. The area is well-known to naturalists as a fascinating intersection of five major bioecological regions – prairies, deserts, tropics, swamps, and forests – and thus unique for its amazing diversity of plants and animals. In this book of color photos paired with insightful, graceful haiku poems, the reader can explore the color, life, and energy of summer “behind the pine curtain” in the gardens, forests, and lakes of the East-Texas pineywoods.
Book Synopsis Lanana Creek Haiku by : Judith Lauter
Download or read book Lanana Creek Haiku written by Judith Lauter and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-10-13 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In LaNana Creek Haiku, poet and neuroscientist Judith Lauter offers a photographic and poetic account of life along a forest creek that flows through the Deep-East Texas Pineywoods in and around Nacogdoches TX. The forest is a place of extreme quiet and intensely private moments of slow-moving water and towering pines, of filtered light and flowing, humid Gulf air. We might expect the poetry that grows from such a setting to evoke a sense of peace and serenity and the haiku paired with artful color photographs in this book do just that. A set of informative end-notes complements the poems and photographs with factual details about the creek and the unique natural areas through which it runs.

Book Synopsis Rockies Autumn Haiku by : Judith Lauter
Download or read book Rockies Autumn Haiku written by Judith Lauter and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-03-13 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rockies Autumn Haiku, by poet and neuroscientist Judith Lauter, provides a photographic and poetic account of three fall months in several locations in the southern Rocky Mountains. When you think of the Rockies, with their towering peaks, immense vistas, and deep snows, you might think that only an "epic" poem could do them justice something on the scale of a Homer or Milton perhaps. The highly condensed, snapshot-like haiku might be the last poetic form imaginable to capture their glory. And yet Rockies Autumn Haiku clearly proves that even the majestic Rockies can be memorably rendered in poetry of brevity, wit, keen observation, and vivid imagery. Here is a mountain autumn, then, seen in unforgettable micro-scale viewed through the double prism of fresh poems and striking color photographs.

Book Synopsis Cowboy Necromancer by : Harmon Cooper

Book excerpt: Sterling Monedero is not your typical necromancer. Even with the game system and mancer class forced onto him by the alien monoliths known as Godwalkers, Sterling just wants to farm his peppers in peace and live out the rest of his troubled existence in quiet. He did that whole 'trying to get revenge on the Godwalkers' thing five years ago, and failed miserably. But when the Godwalkers show back up for their own bit of revenge - and Killbilly bandits appear trying to impose a pepper tax - the tough-as-bones loner decides enough is enough. It's time to reassemble the team, kick some much needed ass, and put an end to the alien threat once and for all. Or die trying. Set in a richly imagined post-apocalyptic New Mexico, this gritty LitRPG western features superpowered mancers, terrifying animal-skeletal hybrids, an intricate game system, and a big dose of Southwestern mysticism. Inspired by The Dark Tower, Old Man Logan, and Red Dead Redemption, best-selling author Harmon Cooper takes you on a high-octane thrill ride through desolate landscapes and dystopian urban decay, on an adventure that doesn't know how to back down from a challenge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A heartfelt middle-grade novel from New York Times bestselling author Barbara O’Connor about a boy whose life is upended after the loss of his older brother—timeless, classic, and whimsical. Walter Tipple is looking for adventure. He keeps having a dream that his big brother, Tank, appears before him and says, “Let’s you and me go see my world, little man.” But Tank went to the army and never came home, and Walter doesn’t know how to see the world without him. Then he meets Posey, the brash new girl from next door, and an eccentric man named Banjo, who’s off on a bodacious adventure of his own. What follows is a summer of taking chances, becoming braver, and making friends—and maybe Walter can learn who he wants to be without the brother he always wanted to be like.

Download or read book Roots and Blues written by Arnold Adoff and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2011-01-03 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through poems and poetic prose pieces, acclaimed children's author Arnold Adoff celebrates that uniquely American form of music called the blues. In his signature “shaped speech” style, he creates a narrative of moments and joyous music, from the drums of the ancestors, the red dirt of the plantations, the current of the mighty Mississippi, and the shackles, blood, and tears of slavery. Each chop of the ax is a beat, each lash of the whip fashions another line on the musical staff. But each sound also creates the chords and harmonies that preserve the ancestors and their stories, and sustain life, faith, and hope into our own times.
Book Synopsis Eminem and Rap, Poetry, Race by : Scott F. Parker
Download or read book Eminem and Rap, Poetry, Race written by Scott F. Parker and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-10-29 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eminem is the best-selling musical artist of the 21st century. He is also one of the most contentious and most complex artists of our time. His verbal dexterity ranks him among the greatest technical rappers ever. The content of his songs combines the grotesque and the comical with the sincere and the profound, all told through the sophisticated layering of multiple personae. However one finally assesses his contribution to popular culture, there's no denying his central place in it. This collection of essays gives his work the critical attention it has long deserved. Drawing from history, philosophy, sociology, musicology, and other fields, the writers gathered here consider Eminem's place in Hip Hop, the intellectual underpinnings of his work, and the roles of race, gender and privilege in his career, among various other topics. This original treatment will be appreciated by Eminem fans and cultural scholars alike.
Book Synopsis The Book of Not Entirely Useful Advice by : A.F. Harrold
Download or read book The Book of Not Entirely Useful Advice written by A.F. Harrold and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-09-03 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A riotous celebration of words and a modern take on cautionary tales – featuring advice on parrots, gravy, mathematics, castles (bouncy), spiders, vegetables (various), breakfast, cakes, and removing ducks from soup. Advice comes in many shapes. Poems come in many shapes. And so, it follows, poems of advice come in many shapes too. Sometimes they look you in the eye and say, 'Do this! Don't do that!' Sometimes they sidle up beside you and whisper, 'Have you ever thought about ... ?' Not everything in this book is necessarily good advice, and not all of it is sensible advice. (But if you take the bad or un-sensible advice and don't follow it, then it may become useful advice in its own way.) Filled with colour illustrations and packed with silly rhymes, witty wordplay and thought-provoking story poems, this collection will delight children of all ages.

Download or read book Guyku written by Bob Raczka and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2010-10-04 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wind and I play tug-of-war with my new kite. The wind is winning. When you’re a guy, nature is one big playground—no matter what the season. There are puddles to splash in the spring, pine trees to climb in the summer, maple seeds to catch in the fall, and icicles to swordfight with in the winter. Nature also has a way of making a guy appreciate important stuff—like how many rocks it takes to dam up a stream, or how much snow equals a day off from school. So what kind of poetry best captures these special moments, at a length that lets guys get right back to tree-climbing and kite-flying? Why, guyku, of course!
