Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Tom Formaro's poetry takes random and intentional thoughts, glances and earshots, and torques them until some sense of motion emerges. What occurs in this collection is "advice" that is unstable, open, and resonates in multiple directions at once. Surprises from poem to poem, line to line, and word to word. Enjoy the dance and don't get hung up on the steps.Endorsements for Advice and Other Absurdities for My Daughter: Tom Formaro has some advice for us, and I'm following it - every bit. A poem like "Clarification," for example, tells us in a sheer list what the poet means: turns out, he means anything and everything. His beloved daughter (but, really, he's addressing us) needs advice on traveling, on bank runs, on floods, on nuclear annihilation, on summer heat, on being cool ("follow edges"), on courtship, on bad advice, on gardening, on how to deal when "something good" finally comes along. That goodness finally is to be found in the very act of writing, poems where when "I confess the untrue/it becomes me." The pun is intentional: it is becoming, or beautiful; and, in giving advice to a beloved, he is becoming someone who can write about love.- Al Filreis, Kelly Writers House, founder of ModPo poetry collection by single poet This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The discovery of a body on the black-sand beaches of Guatemala sparks a chain of events that ripple across the globe.From an Italian tailor crushed under the weight of his father's legacy to a mother challenging local snobbery on the cricket fields of England, a vengeful Bolivian priest chasing Che Guevara's ghost, to a Bay Area therapist blind to his own advice, the lives of a seemingly unconnected group of strangers become fatefully entangled in murder, arson, betrayal, and love. These stories examine abuses of power in a world fractured by inequalities. As their characters confront brutal truths, morality blurs, forcing them to question the meaning of belonging and the lengths they'll go to carve out their place in an unforgiving world.Guided by the ancient creed of 'an eye for an eye', Ben C. Davies' And So I Took Their Eye is a gripping collection of interlinked stories exploring what happens when justice is taken into your own hands-and ultimately, what it means to be human.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In this stunning collection, women and girls grapple with socio-economic injustices: a ten-year-old American child witnesses coercion by the Corsican gendarme; deck hands spar in the West Indies; a woman finds community through climbing a granite rockface; and an emigre mother worries and awaits settlement under tightening immigration laws in contemporary Britain.These complex and dynamic characters reveal how place shapes us, and the various ways we search for belonging in a world in flux.Endorsements for Granite RockAtmospheric, intricately observed, these taut, and often tense stories explore identity and belonging in very different ways. Ordinary people's lives show us again and again that the line between safety and danger is very thin. These are short stories that have a long finish!-Jackie Kay, poet, novelist and the former Makar (National Poet) of ScotlandAt the heart of these beautiful stories is a deep search and struggle for belonging in a world full of systems that persist in separating, denigrating, and harming those who do not. Granite Rock does what all good literature does: it gives us the shocking privilege of experiencing lives vastly different from each other and, indeed, our own. We become better people because of it.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In wartime it is not only the soldiers on the front line that suffer. The families and communities left behind must try to make sense of the conflict imposed on them.This story is set in a fictional town in France in 1914 and again in 1924. We meet Amelie, a teenage girl confined to her room by polio and her dysfunctional parents. Amelie dreams of release from the restrictions of her life in a room above a hat shop. Through her eyes we meet the townsfolk struggling through conflicts and coping with the fundamental changes that war brings.We also meet the people that Amelie watches going about their business as the reality of war impacts upon their small town. The aspirations and fears of young and old, poor and prosperous, hard-working and indolent, are noticed by an itinerant photographer who returns in 1924 to record what has changed and what, if anything, remains of the old way of life. He sees possibilities for some and catastrophe for others; no one is the same after the war.Penny Rogers captures the essence of small town life and the profound effects of war. We see compassion and judgment, humour and tragedy, generosity and selfishness; along with redemption in some unexpected quarters. Short stories set in France early in the 20th century explore the same set on incidents from several points of view. This item is printed on demand.
