Book excerpt: Allen Ginsberg was not just a poet; he was one of the most recognizable and outspoken public figures of the late twentieth century. From the mid-fifties onward, Ginsberg was rarely out of the public consciousness as he raised civic and spiritual awareness for all causes large and small. He traveled the world, reading poetry in more than sixty countries, and managed to organize university degrees and mentor young poets. Arranging Allen's life took a team of dedicated and talented people, and of these people poet Bob Rosenthal worked as Allen's personal secretary over two decades. In this intimate new book, he tells what it was like to be behind the scenes of the Allen Ginsberg industry. From first encounter to Ginsberg's death, Rosenthal recounts the highs and lows of employment in the internationally most-famous-living poet's circle, in a book that is in turns poignant and hilarious, always fascinating.

Book excerpt: LAMBDA LITERARY AWARD FINALIST A transgender reporter's "powerful, profoundly moving" narrative tour through the surprisingly vibrant queer communities sprouting up in red states (New York Times Book Review), offering a vision of a stronger, more humane America. Ten years ago, Samantha Allen was a suit-and-tie-wearing Mormon missionary. Now she's a GLAAD Award-winning journalist happily married to another woman. A lot in her life has changed, but what hasn't changed is her deep love of Red State America, and of queer people who stay in so-called "flyover country" rather than moving to the liberal coasts. In Real Queer America, Allen takes us on a cross-country road-trip stretching all the way from Provo, Utah to the Rio Grande Valley to the Bible Belt to the Deep South. Her motto for the trip: "Something gay every day." Making pit stops at drag shows, political rallies, and hubs of queer life across the heartland, she introduces us to scores of extraordinary LGBT people working for change, from the first openly transgender mayor in Texas history to the manager of the only queer night club in Bloomington, Indiana, and many more. Capturing profound cultural shifts underway in unexpected places and revealing a national network of chosen family fighting for a better world, Real Queer America is a treasure trove of uplifting stories and a much-needed source of hope and inspiration in these divided times.

The excitement never wanes as he is catapulted into the everyday yet unimaginable worlds behind closed (apartment) doors. Bob knows one thing: the dirt will always win.

Cleaning Up New York has been a cult classic since it was first published in 1976 in an edition of 750.

And his reputation continues to grow.Caldecott Medal winner Allen Say, author of the acclaimed memoir Drawing from Memory, takes readers through an imagined look at Castle's childhood, allows them to experience his emergence as an artist despite the overwhelming difficulties he faced, and ultimately reveals the triumphs that he would go on toachieve.

Book excerpt: Let go of negative thoughts, renew your perspective, and create a strong, healthy mindset. Whether you have encountered tragedy or have been worn down over time from experiences that have left you feeling overwhelmed, fearful, angry, or sad, this is your invitation to recognize that You are NOT defined by what’s happened to you. You are defined by what you do. You hold the power to shape your reality when you consciously choose your responses to what life throws your way. In her groundbreaking book, Karen Allen shares her highly acclaimed Stop & Shift system, a mental strength training exercise that will help you trade your default state of negativity and discontent for a resilient mindset grounded in purpose and passion. By practicing this mindset conditioning technique, you will be able to own your choices and navigate life’s ups and downs—in the moment—with empathy and intentionality. You will make better decisions that are not driven by your emotions or ego, but instead shaped by quality thoughts. As you retrain your brain to respond productively to challenges, loss, chaos, and the everyday annoyances that erode your composure and steal your joy, you will overcome stress, self-doubt, and anxiety and break free from dwelling on the past and neglecting your needs. With dynamic exercises, action items, and journaling opportunities, you’ll learn to Silence Thoughts On Purpose so that you can cultivate a mindset that is Strong, Healthy, Intentional, Focused, and Transformed. If you’re ready to let go of everything that’s holding you back from living a better life, this is your moment to Stop & Shift.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first collection of letters between the two leading figures of the Beat movement Writers and cultural icons Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg are the most celebrated names of the Beat Generation, linked together not only by their shared artistic sensibility but also by a deep and abiding friendship, one that colored their lives and greatly influenced their writing. Editors Bill Morgan and David Stanford shed new light on this intimate and influential friendship in this fascinating exchange of letters between Kerouac and Ginsberg, two thirds of which have never been published before. Commencing in 1944 while Ginsberg was a student at Columbia University and continuing until shortly before Kerouac's death in 1969, the two hundred letters included in this book provide astonishing insight into their lives and their writing. While not always in agreement, Ginsberg and Kerouac inspired each other spiritually and creatively, and their letters became a vital workshop for their art. Vivid, engaging, and enthralling, Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg: The Letters provides an unparalleled portrait of the two men who led the cultural and artistic movement that defined their generation.

This annotated version of Ginsberg's classic is the poet's own re-creation of the revolutionary work's composition process—as well as a treasure trove of anecdotes, an intimate look at the poet's writing techniques, and a veritable social history of the 1950s.
