Book excerpt: Poetry. Jewish Studies. GRANDFATHER'S MANDOLIN; by Fran Markover; is a collection of poems deeply rooted in family and what has come before. David Keplinger notes that "in these poems languages and names and articles of clothing seem to have lives; hats are thought to be alive; and names deserve elegies and memorials because they are breathing things that can pass away from this world; if we do not take care. Poem by poem; Markover creates a rich landscape of lives remembered; honored and loved."

Book excerpt: These intimate stories of South Indian immigrants and the families they left behind center women’s lives and ask how women both claim and surrender power—a stunning debut collection from an O. Henry Prize winner Traveling from Pittsburgh to Eastern Washington to Tamil Nadu, these stories about dislocation and dissonance see immigrants and their families confront the costs of leaving and staying, identifying sublime symmetries in lives growing apart. In “Malliga Homes,” selected by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie for an O. Henry Prize, a widow in a retirement community glimpses her future while waiting for her daughter to visit from America. In "No. 16 Model House Road," a woman long subordinate to her husband makes a choice of her own after she inherits a house. In "Nature Exchange," a mother grieving in the wake of a school shooting finds an unusual obsession. In "A Life in America," a professor finds himself accused of having exploited his graduate students. Sindya Bhanoo’s haunting stories show us how immigrants’ paths, and the paths of those they leave behind, are never simple. Bhanoo takes us along on their complicated journeys where regret, hope, and triumph appear in disguise.

Download or read book Over My Grandpa's Recliner written by Samantha Lyn Walljasper and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-15 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no denying the "awesomeness" of Grandpas. Whether you call them your Grandfather, Gramps, Papa, Peepaw, Granddad, Grumps, and/or any other weird name (that you invented when you were a toddler because you could not pronounce "Grandpa"); they are the absolute best. They hold the best stories, peculiar habits, pocket candies, "old-timer" stereotypes, and so much more. This book is a collaboration of haiku and free form poems which are perfect to read together for some special Grandfatherly "bonding time." (Have fun getting frustrated as you attempt to answer a million questions about what everything in the book means). It is also a "homerun" gift idea for their birthday (which they most likely forgot about), any other special occasion, or a "just because" present. Unless your Grandfather has literally no sense of humor whatsoever... then maybe don't even bother. Otherwise, "play ball!"

Book excerpt: This book contains poems that issue mainly from the poet's experience and perspective as a First Nation Wampanoag member. Raised and educated by his non-native mother, he was also strongly influenced by his Wampanoag grandfather's stories and knowledge of the history of his people. In his thirties he began to travel to learn from elders of nations that lay distant from civilization in Canada and the north and southwest and found from them the wisdom he had found nowhere else. The elders asked him to go where he might be invited and make this wisdom available to all who asked for it, and for five decades, he has continued to travel wherever invited and speak to all who wish to listen.

Book excerpt: Mixing prose and poetry, ancient traditions and modern sensibilities, this brilliant, profane, and poignant coming-of-age story is a masterpiece of Native American literature At a Thanksgiving party held in a Bureau of Indian Affairs gymnasium, the elders of the Meskwaki Settlement in central Iowa sip coffee while the teenagers plot their escape. Edgar Bearchild and Ted Facepaint, too broke to join their friends for a night of drinking in a nearby farm town, decide to attend a ceremonial gathering of the Well-Off Man Church, a tribal sect with hallucinogenic practices. After partaking of the congregation’s sacred star medicine, Edgar receives a prophetic vision and comes to a newfound understanding of his people’s past and present that will ultimately reshape the course of his life. Set against the backdrop of the tumultuous 1960s, Black Eagle Child is the story of Edgar’s passage from boyhood to manhood, from his youthful misadventures with Ted, to his year at prestigious liberal arts college in California, to his return to Iowa and success as a poet. Deftly crossing genre boundaries and weaving together a multitude of tones and images—from grief to humor, grape Jell-O to supernatural strobe lights—it is also an unforgettable portrait of what it means to be a Native American in the modern world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fred slouched back, getting into a comfortable position to tell me about his trip. As he starting speaking, I just closed my eyes and let his words evaporate into visions. I could almost hear each paddle stroke and each deep footprint as his boots crunched through the forest floor to his special location. Chris has a very special relationship with his grandfather. He can ask him anything, and is eager to learn all that Fred has to offer. One special year Chris learns about the true meaning of God's love while helping work in the garden. Throughout this special year, Chris pieces together clues left to him by his grandfather as to the location of a secret key, which reveals the ten lessons for living. Based on a true story, My Grandfathers Garden, takes us inside a young boy's mind and opens us up to loving lessons that transcend time. Tied together with select poems from Robert Frost, this beautiful story encourages us to discover our past and unlock the secrets of our soul.

Download or read book Letters My Grandfather Wrote Me written by Bryan Crawford and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-11-23 with total page 581 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Douglases are traced from 100 A.D. with ancestral background in Ireland around 300 B.C. There is an American branch from the 18th century with connections to the U.S. war of independence and the anti-slave movement. The Crawfords are shown in their early history around the 12th century, then since the early 19th Century in Scotland, Ireland and New Zealand. The Clarks are shown since the mid 19thcentury but with strong Huguenot roots in the 17th century. The Gagens are traced from Germany to Norfolk in the U.K. in the 17th century; and to Canada and America in the 19th, where Dan Gagen married into the Chippewa tribe. The book is about Cyril Gagen who settled in New Zealand with his mid-wife mother in the early 20th century, and is written by his grandson. The last chapter is autobiographical with an in-depth discussion on Social Control and the ethics of its use in modern Britain and New Zealand. The Clarion review states that the book is anti-monarchist which is totally incorrect.
