Paperback. Condition: Good. Too often, the stories of many men of color's lives today are full of waste, violence, struggle, and self-destruction. But there are many men who grow up in challenging circumstances, with all odds against them, and still find success. God Gave Me Some Bad Advice tells of one such success story. Byron Harmon is still a young man, not yet 40. His story is a powerful and compelling example of how many of the traditional verities of American life--God, family, country--provide touchstones that can bolster every individual growing up in this country. Today the executive producer of the nation's largest local morning news show on WCBS in New York, and the author of three novels, Byron Harmon looks back to tell his story with warmth, generosity, humor, and grace.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A reissue of the 1949 American classic Sarah by Margueritte Harmon Bro. "Sarah will carry off all the romantics and bookworms who love a tale that enfolds them. Sarah is practically Russian in its complexity and scope compared with today's often simplistic plots. Sarah is the heroine, but Harmon Bro's society is a major player in the plot and texture of the novel: the tumultuous years from before the First World War to the early 1920s. Harmon Bro's prose is from another era too. No-nonsense and spare in some ways: -- The skirt frankly showed her ankles and an inch or two more. -- At other times, it's hilariously charming for an old crone reviewer, but probably riveting for intended readers. . . Harmon Bro's style should be part of young readers' experience. The story of Sarah growing from little girl to a woman is well worth telling. She grows up battling her conscience, beginning with her deceased father's wishes of what she should do with her life. Combined with life-and-death struggles for family and friends at home and at war, her experiences as a concert pianist for the troops in Europe and, later, conflicting pressures about her musical career, make this period piece altogether appropriate for eager readers today. -- The National Post. …

Paperback. Condition: Good. Winner of the 2010 Akron Poetry Prize, Le Spleen de Poughkeepsie is a tender anti-epic, a grunge-tinged love song to America's benighted post-industrial heartland. Harmon's Poughkeepsie shimmers just beyond the borders of banal recognition. If you're not part of the problem, / you're part of the lengthening / tragedy, Harmon writes in an introductory pastoral, seeking out the stray / detours and workarounds of the secret / city inside the more obvious one] on the outskirts of the absurd / attention to the material life. Poughkeepsie is that city of the heart where no one can look at anyone else alone, where the noise of beauty is a cop's bullet polishing off a traffic-struck doe, where five dollars takes you anywhere in this town / except out of it.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. When Johnny enters the gates of the leprosarium, he feels like it is a death sentence. He is stripped of his basic rights--unable to vote, ride public transportation, or send a letter without it being sterilized. The facility is guarded 24 hours a day and surrounded by a barbed wire fence, innocent people like Johnny were effectively incarcerated simply by contracting a deeply misunderstood skin and nerve condition. Ultimately seven members of his family would face the same fate. But this is not a story of defeat. The Disease: One Man's Journey Through a Life with Leprosy is a meticulously factual, historical, and deeply inspirational true story of the human spirit. Unlike any other memoir on the subject, this book features over 30 original photographs, paintings and cartoons created by Johnny himself. Struggling with severe depression upon entering Carville, Johnny was saved by a nun, Sister Hillary, who shared her love of the camera with him. That spark of hope transformed his life. He creates a successful photography business, providing photography for both patients, staff and news media. Through his photographs and personal interviews featured in national publications, he began advocating for patients' rights. He defied hospital authorities by marrying a fellow patient and fighting to have children. Whether you are a history buff, a medical professional, or a reader seeking a powerful story of triumph over adversity, Johnny's memories shatter the long-held stigmas and biblical myths surrounding leprosy. It is an easy, captivating read about a kind, soft-spoken gentlemen who refused to let a barbed wire fence dictate his happiness. This book will break your heart, but it will also make you smile. This memoir speaks of one person's fortitude to live the best life possible no matter what the circumstances. It speaks of determination, resilience, and courage. It is also a history of the National Leprosarium in Carville, Louisiana from 1930 to 1955 when patients were treated more like inmates in a prison than patients in a hospital. But most of all, it is a love story about two patients who were discouraged from marrying and having children by hospital authorities. The book contains 30 images of photos, paintings, cartoons and illustrations by Johnny.…
