Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Sticky is pungent, viscous, alchemical, a laying on of hands. It is a sensorium of beeswax, turpentine, blood, yeast, coconut oil, melted buttercream, Crisco-rubbed into surfaces and crevices of memory, printing presses, diner tabletops, bathroom stalls, births, seductions, lovers. Sticky coaxes one and all to ferment, to open every which way, to give over to the exploration and cravings of Carter Steinmann's 'dirty fingers' and capable poetics.>Carter Steinmann's poetry doesn't shy away from love's messy and dangerous moments-rather, these poems 'ask first / then show no mercy.' Their dirty, sticky hands explore the body, breathing its 'fermenting sourdough,' 'bergamot and sawdust,' then dare 'ask for more.' Like a fresh wound-sensitive and seeping, tender and exposed-Steinmann's syntax is hot to the touch and raw. These poems understand desire's spellwork, and refuse to doll-up pleasure; rather, with unabashed candor and an unblinking eye, without fear or apology, we see the carnal as it is. These poems ache. They 'drive home too drunk.' They 'fuck a Vandercook.' They stick a dirty finger in your mouth. And it is delicious.>Sticky is both tart and sweet, feminine and masculine, gentle and rough. Steinmann writes, 'Women who turn me on / and simultaneously make my heart hurt / where do you come from / how do you do what you do ' This collection of poems demonstrates the act of loving and desiring women. Sticky will leave your heart throbbing and craving more. -Carina Yun. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - These poems are lush, melodious, striking. Abe Louise Young isn't afraid to be brash, to be soft, to be big, to be the one to tell the queer kids to keep living. This is a potent and necessary collection.- Amy King, author of The Missing Museum (Tarpulin Sky Book Prize) and I Want to Make You Safe These poems by wise, wonderful Abe Louise Young really are heaven to me. As sensual as she is intellectual as she is gigantically celebratory as she is wary, funny, human, playful: Young allows none of these qualities to be sacrificed for the sake of any other. You'll want to let these poems close, so close you feel on your face their 'heavy / secret breathing.' - Carrie Fountain, author of Burn Lake (National Poetry Series) and Instant Winner The poems in Heaven to Me find paradise in women's bodies. Equally, they direct our delight to the body of each poem, to iambs and ampersands. Abe Louise Young's voice is playful and reverent, and these poems of love and loss reward readers like the kiss of a priestess. - Lisa L. Moore, Professor of English and Women's and Gender Studies, The University of Texas at Austin, and author of Sister Arts: The Erotics of Lesbian Landscapes.…

With apologies to Aqua, the Barbie girl's life in plastic isn't always so fantastic.

We can reach our nation for Christ.We can reach America with an army of small group leaders like you who have a vision for doubling their classes every two years or less. We can do it. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. We can be obedient to what God told us to do. I want to do that, don't you Think of it. There are approximately 320,000 churches in America. Each one has approximately 75 in attendance and about 7 Sunday school classes. That means there are approximately 24 million people attending church on any given weekend and a little over 2 million Sunday school teachers. Suppose half, or a fourth, or even a tenth of the Sunday school teachers in America committed to doubling their class ten times in the next 20 years. Suppose, like Gideon's army, we had only 25,000 teachers from various denominations and churches on board. If each one doubled every two years or less, we would reach America in a little past 20 years.…

Neuware - From the introduction by Lance Richey: 'The University of Saint Francis and Our Sunday Visitor sponsored the conference 'Dorothy Day and the Church: Past, Present and Future' in Fort Wayne on May 13-15, 2015. In planning it, we kept in mind (not without some trepidation) Dorothy's own complaint on academic conferences in her April 1966 On Pilgrimage column: 'That is the trouble with such conferences. There are too many workshops, too many meetings, so many speakers, making the sessions too long.' The enthusiastic response we received to our announcement threatened to make her warning only too prescient. More than 120 attendees, scholars and workers, gathered together to celebrate both her remarkable life and enduring legacy for the Church. This volume gathers together most of the papers and homilies given at this conference, offering a breadth and depth of material which will benefit both casual and scholarly readers, and both students and practitioners of her experiment in gospel living.'.…

Neuware - Are you struggling with Family Based Treatment If you have recently begun Family Based Treatment (FBT) or are already in the middle of the journey and wondering how you will make it through, you are not alone. Many parents describe FBT as one of the most emotionally demanding experiences of their lives. Although Family Based Treatment is recognised as the gold standard treatment for adolescent anorexia nervosa, most parents begin the process with little preparation for the challenges they will face. Written by child and adolescent psychotherapist, Maria Ganci, who worked for more than 20 years in the Specialist Eating Disorders Program at Melbourne's Royal Children's Hospital, where Family Based Treatment was implemented under the clinical leadership of Professor Daniel Le Grange, Survive FBT was created in response to the many parents who sought greater guidance in understanding anorexia's powerful hold on their child and managing the emotional and practical challenges of treatment. This practical guide provides parents with the knowledge, practical strategies and confidence to remain one step ahead of the illness and successfully 'see it through' to recovery. Written in clear, practical language, it explains each stage of Family Based Treatment, helping parents understand what to expect, recognise the eating disorder behaviours that can interfere with recovery, and respond with greater confidence and consistency throughout treatment. Whether you are just beginning Family Based Treatment or finding the process more difficult than you expected, this book offers practical advice, reassurance and hope. It is also widely used by clinicians to support and guide families undertaking Family Based Treatment, providing a practical framework that complements evidence-based treatment. Recommended by clinicians and eating disorder services both in Australia and internationally, Survive FBT has been translated into multiple languages and has become a trusted resource for families and professionals supporting young people through recovery from anorexia nervosa.…
