Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 134 pages. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's quarter blue cloth with silver lettering to spine over blue boards in original pictorial jacket. First edition. Review copy with review literature laid in. On the Water is an intensely told tale… of adolescent passion, narrated by Anton, a shy, uncomfortable outsider who harbours a yearning for a different kind of life that becomes symbolized in the river and in rowing. He joins the club, crossing the metaphorical and actual line which divides the town he lives in and forms an unlikely partnership with the calm, ironical David. Together they become a successful coxless pair, coached by an enigmatic German, Schneiderhahn. The story revels in descriptions of the physical exertion and emotional connection as it recreates pre-war Amsterdam. Telling the story in flashbacks, Anton now stands alone on a wintry evening facing a derelict and abandoned boathouse, recalling the long, hot summer of 1939 and mourning a lost world. Condition: Fine in like jacket.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 278 pages. Octavo (8 1.2" x 5 3/4") bound in original publisher's quarter blue cloth with silver lettering to spine an blind stamped letters to cover ion original pictorial jacket. First edition. With a rush of adrenaline, this coming-of-age novel plunges into… the world of a North Florida police force. The spotlight is on Abigail ("Fitz") Fitzpatrick, a female cop who is lesbian and rarely allowed to forget it, by either her male colleagues or the public in general. As the novel begins, Fitz, reared by nuns but a self-proclaimed "street addict," has burned out after eight years as a paramedic. Following the tragic death of a boy she couldn't save, she joins the police academy and enters the macho arena of police life.The story carries us through "Rookie Daze," the grueling stage of training, and comes full circle in "Rhythm and Blues," when Fitz is a seasoned officer and trainer of rookies herself. Along the way she faces crucial decisions as love, ethics, and friendship collide. A recent breakup with a female lover, a police investigator, alters her perceptions, shaping the person she is to become. And Morelli, an appealing male colleague with a bucketful of problems, forces Fitz to test the limits of loyalty.Fast-paced, original, funny, this novel recalls the early Joseph Wambaugh in its crackling authenticity. Stress, danger, professional integrity, and harassment are the issues as Fitz, in a voice that's unforgettable, tells us what it's like to be a police officer--as an insider, and an outsider as well. Condition: A fine copy in like jacket.

Add to basketpaperback. Condition: Near Fine. PAPERBACK, near fine, attractive copy appears little used if at all. HILL, ANITA. Reimagining equality: stories of gender, race, and finding home. Boston, Mass: Beacon Press, 2011, xxiv, 195pp., . "In 1991, Anita Hill's courageous testimony during the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings sparked… a national conversation on sexual harassment and women's equality in politics and the workplace. Today, she turns her attention to another potent and enduring symbol of economic success and equality-the home. Hill details how the current housing crisis, resulting in the devastation of so many families, so many communities, and even whole cities, imperils every American's ability to achieve the American Dream. Hill takes us on a journey that begins with her own family story and ends with the subprime mortgage meltdown. Along the way, she invites us into homes across America, rural and urban, and introduces us to some extraordinary African American women. As slavery ended, Mollie Elliott, Hill's ancestor, found herself with an infant son and no husband. Yet, she bravely set course to define for generations to come what it meant to be a free person of color. On the eve of the civil rights and women's rights movements, Lorraine Hansberry's childhood experience of her family's fight against racial restrictions in a Chicago neighborhood ended tragically for the Hansberry family. Yet, that episode shaped Lorraine's hopeful account of early suburban integration in her iconic American drama A Raisin in the Sun. Two decades later, Marla, a divorced mother, endeavors to keep her children safe from a growing gang presence in 1980s Los Angeles. Her story sheds light on the fears and anxiety countless parents faced during an era of growing neighborhood isolation, and that continue today. In the midst of the 2008 recession, hairdresser Anjanette Booker's dogged determination to keep her Baltimore home and her salon reflects a commitment to her own independence and to her community's economic and social viability. Finally, Hill shares her own journey to a place and a state of being at home that brought her from her roots in rural Oklahoma to suburban Boston, Massachusetts, and connects her own search for home with that of women and men set adrift during the foreclosure crisis. The ability to secure a place that provides access to every opportunity our country has to offer is central to the American Dream. To achieve that ideal, Hill argues, we and our leaders must engage in a new conversation about what it takes to be at home in America. Pointing out that the inclusive democracy our Constitution promises is bigger than the current debate about legal rights, she presents concrete proposals that encourage us to reimagine equality. Hill offers a twenty-first-century vision of America-not a vision of migration, but one of roots; not one simply of tolerance, but one of belonging; not just of rights, but also of community-a community of equals" - CONTENTS: Home : survival and the land -- Belonging to the new land -- Gender and race at home in America -- Lorraine's vision : a better place to live -- Blame it on the sun -- Lessons from a survivor : Anjanette's story -- Home in crisis : Americans on the outside of the dream -- Home at last : toward an inclusive democracy.

Add to basketpaperback. Condition: Near Fine. sewn PAPERBACK, near fine, attractive copy with only light wear to covers. FINCH, ANNIE. The body of poetry: essays on women, form, and the poetic self. Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 2005, 1st printing number line 4321, xii, 177pp., . Series: Poets on poetry The Body of Poetry collects… essays, reviews, and memoir by Annie Finch, one of the brightest poet-critics of her generation. Finch's germinal work on the art of verse has earned her the admiration of a wide range of poets, from new formalists to hip-hop writers. And her ongoing commitment to women's poetry has brought Finch a substantial following as a "postmodern poetess" whose critical writing embraces the past while establishing bold new traditions. The Body of Poetry includes essays on metrical diversity, poetry and music, the place of women poets in the canon, and on poets Emily Dickinson, Phillis Wheatley, Sara Teasdale, Audre Lorde, Marilyn Hacker, and John Peck, among other topics. In Annie Finch's own words, these essays were all written with one aim: "to build a safe space for my own poetry. . . . [I]n the attempt, they will also have helped to nourish a new kind of American poetics, one that will prove increasingly open to poetry's heart." - CONTENTS: A horse with two wings : a note on criticism and poetics -- Metrical diversity -- Metrical subversions : prosody, poetry, and my affair with the amphibrach -- A Carol for Carolyn -- Langpo, Pomo, Newfo -- Omniformalism : a manifesto -- The body of poetry -- Liturgy -- Walk with me : on poetry and music -- Passion in translation : Louise Labe -- Sonnet 18 : Kiss me again by Louise Labe -- H.D., "Imagiste"? -- Technology and inspiration : introduction to A poet's craft -- Poetics : a taxonomy -- Repetition, repetition -- How to create a poetic tradition -- Mother Dickinson -- Letter for Emily Dickinson -- The heart of Phillis Wheatley -- Unnecessary burdens : Cooper, Gluck, Graham -- Carolyn Kizer and the chain of women -- My Teasdale talisman -- Female tradition as feminist innovation -- Coherent decentering -- Desks -- Stein the romantic, Mallarme the radical -- Victorian voice-making and the contemporary poet -- Confessions of a postmodern poetess -- Dactylic meter : a many-sounding sea -- A rock in the river : Maxine Kumin's rhythmic countercurrents -- The ghost of meter revisited -- Making shattered faces whole : the metrical code in Audre Lorde -- In defense of meter -- Limping prosody -- Forms of memory -- John Peck's hypnagogic poetry -- Encounter. 9780472068951 ISBN 0472068954 9.10.
