Paperback. Condizione: Fair. Showcasing the first Ferris wheel, dazzling and unprecedented electrification, and exhibits from around the world, the World?s Columbian Exposition of 1893 was Chicago?s chance to demonstrate that it had risen from the ashes of the Great Fire and was about to take its place as one of the world?s great cities. Millions would flock to the fair, and many of them were looking for a good time before and after their visits to the Midway and the White City. But what was the bedazzled visitor to do in Chicago?Chicago by Day and Night: The Pleasure Seeker?s Guide to the Paris of America, a very unofficial guide to the world beyond the fair, slaked the thirst of such curious folk. The pleasures it details range from the respectable (theatre, architecture, parks, churches and synagogues) to the illicit?drink, gambling and sex. With a wink and a nod, the book decries vice while offering precise directions for the indulgence of any desire. In this newly annotated edition, Chicagoans Paul Durica and Bill Savage?who, if born earlier, might have written chapters in the original?provide colourful context and an informative introduction to a wildly entertaining journey through the Chicago of 120 years ago.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Designed for Flight both continues and enlarges the exploration of the rhythms of our emotional lives undertaken in Gregory Fraser's first two collections. A master of metaphor, Fraser works magic within tightly controlled forms, loading lines with surprising juxtapositions and changes of direction. Taken together, the poems trace the sometimes instant, sometimes decades-long movement from incomprehensible loss and grief to rueful reflection and, if we're lucky, uneasy accommodation. Casting a sharply observant eye on past selves, always steering clear of simple sentiment, the speaker in this collection looks back with bitter irony and forgiveness in equal measure. Against the fears and frustrations of childhood, the dissolution of a doomed relationship, and the distance between the hoped for and the actual, Fraser's poems offer the imagination's capacity for endless invention and the compensatory pleasures of art.…
