Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - What would you do if you were told you had Parkinson's disease in the prime of your life Would you wallow in self-pity, or would you continue to write poems and stories with great enthusiasm Would you use your disease as an excuse to withdraw from the world, focusing solely on your physical and m…ental health, or would you challenge yourself to explore new ways to write about Parkinson's, perhaps through sonnets and other forms of poetry In Invitations: Fiction and Poetry From A Life of Writing by Bruce Ballard, you'll witness how one writer navigates these questions, not only through his writing about Parkinson's but also through the exploration of related themes such as life, love, sickness, and death. From autobiographical poetry to fictional short stories, from the gay men he has found community with to the disease he continues to grapple with, Invitations is one writer's exploration of his life through multiple genre-defying lenses.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Why do we remember what we remember In his seventies, Henry feels the gentle knock of mortality at his door. His future has narrowed, leaving insufficient room for the entirety of his past to accompany him on the final stretch. Milestones and minutiae vie for equal passage: the trauma of his red…hair; his very first crush on a neighborhood boy; his marriage to Leonard (of all people) and the miracle of their son and granddaughter; his parents' love, toxicity, and L-shaped sofa, which imprint every home he's lived in; and all the flirtations, frictions, teetering starts, and definitive endings along the way. What to let go of What to hold onto How to weave it together to shape a twilight version of life that, when all is said and nearly done, feels fully lived Henry's story is modest, taut, and expansive-a tribute to the human impulse to find coherence and meaning in our lives. As an arbiter of how we attempt to make sense of the world, he is a character readers won't soon forget.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'A vivid and impassioned Vietnam War Biography Nobody's Children: recollections from the maintenance line Vietnam '67-'68 is the real war in Vietnam, told without histrionics or self-pity.' - BookViral Reviews: Golden Quill Read We began as nobody's children.Shuffled from military confinement in…Tennessee to the battlegrounds of southeast Asia, we were conscripted to defend democracy against imminent threats. Transitioning from a carefree frat party mindset to the harsh realities of war, diverse groups of young men faced conflict, displacement, and the constant specter of death while occasionally contending with destructive typhoons. Assigned to an Assault Helicopter Company, these valiant airborne cavalrymen persisted despite unequal measures of prosperity and hardship. Constrained in a foreign land, beguiled by illusions of vacation ambience, we braced ourselves for escalating assaults wrung from malignant odors, menacing rhinoceros beetles, errant rockets, aggressive monkeys, and waves of NVA and VC forces lurking beneath parachute flares.In this poignant account, we delve into the months leading up to and following the first Tet Offensive of Vietnam, offering profound insights into the fear and loss that defined our experiences. Early harbingers of rock-n-roll warfare, we navigated life-altering situations with bravado, confusion, and sorrow reminiscent of generations before us. Paradoxically, our generation sought solace in marijuana-induced relaxation and soaring guitar riffs, while simultaneously enduring perverse humor and belittling tragedies. Through unwavering determination and resilience, we proudly transformed ourselves into individuals worthy of recognition.But upon returning home, we were treated once again as nobody's children.
