![]() It couldn’t have been easy to choose only sixteen, when so many poets deserve a seat at the table, but those chosen are a revelation.Ĭlockwise from top left: Cerris Morgan-Moyer, Spirit de la Mare, Leah Moore, Salena Godden, Stav B, Nana Ghana The sixteen international poets who have contributed to the #Woman anthology are marvels. But the very first poem in the anthology, “The Whale in the Cherry Blossom” by Salena Godden, sets the tone and assures us that birth is a vast concept, as broad and deep and fluid and influential as water. ![]() Birth by no means defines a woman – either giving birth or experiencing it. The #Woman anthology is organised around three themes: birth, growth and adolescence. That is, what we’re told to believe often doesn’t reflect our lived experience. In an interview with Wall Street International, they explain how the anthology’s title is a reference to Alfred Korzybski’s well-known saying that “the map is not the territory”. Visionary editors Rita Osei and Michelle Olley have done wonders to compile an anthology of women’s poetry that matches our modern sensibilities and speaks to us of the times in which we live. How dare you think, and speak, and try to silence our voices when we shadowsplain and tell you how the world REALLY works? ![]() What are you, you woman-thing? You oddly-made creature? They cup their hands to whisper in your ear from birth till death. The world’s shadows just love to whisper in your ear from the sanctity of dark places, don’t they? They’re so bloody awful, those shadows. ![]()

![]() ![]() A Szólj, emlékezet!-tel nem fognak megbarátkozni, akik szerint az irodalom 1.) könnyed ebéd utáni séta egy hűvös allén, gesztenyefák alatt, belátható távolságban kávézóterasz, hűsítő itallal 2.) sziklás, puszta, csupasz és kövecses táj, amin az ember átvánszorog, miközben rettentő dolgok nyitjára lel. Az eredmény egy érzésekből, képekből, villanásokból álló lírai kollázs, helyenként tömény, mint a málnaszörp, de Vladimir úgy van vele, hogy majd az olvasó felhígítja magának, ha úgy akarja. ![]() Nabokov tulajdonképpen nem mesél semmit magáról, egyszerűen megfogja az emlékezet nevű (már elnézést) tehéntőgyszerű képződményt, és kifacsar belőle mindent, amit csak lehet. A Szólj, emlékezet! elméletileg például önéletrajz, de aki a hagyományos önéletrajzok szerelmese, attól még simán gyűlölheti. Nabokov talán legjellegzetesebb írói tulajdonsága az a tündéri nagyképűség, amivel nekiül a könyveinek. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In 1858, unaware that Darwin was writing his magnum opus, Wallace sent him a review copy of a paper he hoped to see published. Younger than Darwin by more than a decade, Wallace was familiar with Darwin’s earlier writings. Wallace first established himself as a naturalist, collecting specimens in Brazil and Southeast Asia and authoring books on his travels. The author convincingly navigates potentially treacherous terrain, setting the record straight on Wallace's great achievement, which independently foreshadowed Darwin's On the Origin of the Species without in any way diminishing Darwin's “insights and accomplishments.” Costa provides an account of Wallace's scientific career leading up to his discovery and thereafter. The Other Insect Societies, 2006 etc.) to On the Organic Law of Change: A Fascimile Edition and Annotated Transcription of Alfred Russel Wallace's Species Notebook of 1855-1859 (2013), which he edited and annotated. This book is a follow-up by Costa (Biology/Western Carolina Univ. An in-depth look at the seminal contributions of Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913)-often solely attributed to Charles Darwin (1809-1882)-that led “to revolutionary new understandings of earth history and of the life upon earth in the mid- to late nineteenth century.” ![]() ![]() ![]() However it is perhaps a common factor that strengthens their kinship – the fact that both of them are raised by single parents. The author uses the classic trope of ‘opposites attract’, Natsuro is ambitious & wants to become an international football player, while all Suzumura wants is to be happily married when she grows up. Natsuro & Suzura’s feelings for each other escalates very quickly. Ozaki explores themes like toxic parenting, abandonment issues and it’s hard to believe that the protagonists are just a pair of pre-teen kids. It’s an interesting book that finishes too soon and has some weird little comic scenes that only the Japanese could insert in a kids Manga. One day, a girl called Suzumura speaks to him and soon the two become friends. It’s a stand-alone Manga/Graphic Novel about Natsuro Nanao, a boy who loves football and who girls in his school avoid talking to.

"Milton Friedman is one of the nation's outstanding economists, distinguished for remarkable analytical powers and technical virtuosity. ![]() Beginning with a discussion of principles of a liberal society, Friedman applies them to such constantly pressing problems as monetary policy, discrimination, education, income distribution, welfare, and poverty. In the classic bestseller, Capitalism and Freedom, Milton Friedman presents his view of the proper role of competitive capitalism-the organization of economic activity through private enterprise operating in a free market-as both a device for achieving economic freedom and a necessary condition for political freedom. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() “Love is a concrete thing,” Fran says in one of her few attempts at speech. This playwright doesn’t mince words when she has a point to make. A truly economical writer, Fornes makes Fran a dancer, leaving most of the characterization in the hands of a choreographer, who has wisely decided to go uncredited. In typical TV mode, the object of these boys’ adoration is idealized to abstraction. But will she ever say, ‘I love you, Joe?'” Love of a friend is more lasting.” But in the end, what 25-year-old can control his hormones? “I know she cares for me as a friend. ![]() “We haven’t been out together for a long time.” Later, they conclude, “Friendship is more lasting than romantic love. “She used to be closer to us,” one of them reveals. Their dialogue also belongs back in the dorm room. Here it is simply juvenile: The two men’s interest in Fran (Tai Jimenez) leads Marc (Matthew Floyd Miller) and Joseph (Peter Starrett) to duke it out in a pillow fight. In “Mud” and “The Conduct of Life,” two of Fornes’ better plays, the war of the sexes carries a primal urgency. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Through a twist of Fate, a deadly accident brings Joseph and Ginger together once more, and this time, neither will allow another separation.

But there’s one thing he can never overcome: he’s a half-breed Ojibwa, forever tainted in the eyes of these high-society whites from the East. Louis, and he’s her brother’s best friend. ![]() He’s from the rough-and-ready Western city of St. He’s totally unsuitable as a husband for this spirited, cultured woman, for many reasons. But when she meets her brother’s best friend, handsome Joseph Lafontaine, the mysterious man sets Ginger ablaze with a mere glance-and gives her second thoughts about remaining single. Beautiful Ginger Fitzpatrick wants nothing to do with New York City’s conventional society- after all, she is a bloomer-wearing suffragette who holds a position in her father’s bank! Her mother is determined her willful daughter must go to the popular Cotillion ball and look for a suitable husband during the “season”-and Ginger is given no choice. 4 stars, Night Owl Reviews For more books by Becky Lower, check out: The Reluctant Debutante Praise for The Reluctant Debutante: 'This series is a breath of. ![]() ![]() ![]() I looked at it as a commentary on how a typical dead end job looks like, and how people who work there are just cogs in the wheel and can’t bring any positive changes. The second thing I loved about it was the story. Bukowski’s prose has had many imitators since, but probably no equal. ![]() It was sharp and shining, had a lazy elegance, and cut like a knife. The first thing I loved about it was Bukowski’s prose. What happens after that forms the rest of the story. After trying his luck at different places, Henry ends up at the post office again, this time as a clerk. She wants to prove to her family that a person can get by without being rich and so she makes Henry get back to work. Then he gets a new girlfriend who is rich. At some point his girlfriend breaks up with him because he is just lounging around at home (though he is making money in horse betting). But at some point he feels that he has had enough and quits and decides that he wants to bet on horses and enjoy the money he makes.

My next review will be Spirit Animals: Wild Born by Brandon Mull. It made me laugh out loud – it was clever and funny at the same time. All of the characters were very unique, and thinking about a kid having a pet polar bear is quite out of this world, but yet it works in this book! I think Timmy is in his own little world – it’s him and his detective agency against the Evil One. ![]() Timmy thinks he is the best detective in the world, even though his agency’s space is his mom’s closet. Stephan Pastis brought a new idea, and school is not the main focus, it’s Timmy’s Detective Agency.
