Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The turbulent artistic and romantic life of Robert Burns, the premier icon of the Romantic movement, is creatively re-enacted in this contemporary tribute to the drama and texture of late 18th-century Scotland. Based on extensive research and historical fact, Burns' life at the height of his fame from 1784 to 1788 is portrayed as spontaneous, passionate, and sexual. Told in the present tense through multiple viewpoints, Burns' story is a frank and moving portrait of a man often misguided by the 'witching voice' that motivated him - a drive composed of the same charms, demons, and shortcomings that nurtured his remarkable gifts. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: New. B&W Photographs; 8.5 X 8.4 X 0.5 inches; 122 pages; Soft cover is self wraps. Tan spine with black lettering. Illustrated with b/w photographs. 'Culled from previously unpublished material, this collection of writing and photography by John Howard Griffin was taken from the period during which he was writing and revising what would be his most famous book, the bestselling Black Like Me. Living in exile in Mexico at the time, along with his young family and aging parents, Griffin had been forced from his home town of Mansfield, Texas, by death threats from local white racists. Knowing that he would become a controversial public figure once he returned to the states, he kept an intimate journal of his ethical queries on racism and injustice-and to escape from his worries he also immersed himself in the culture of the Tarascan Indians of Michoacan. Accordingly, Robert Bonazzi's introduction contains substantial unpublished portions of the journals, and the main body of the book is made up of three essays by Griffin-one on photography and two about trips he made to photograph rural Mexico'.

Paperback. Condition: NEW. Paperback. Durations gathers a memoir and seven personal essays that explore the life of the author, from her World War II-era childhood in Tennessee to her adolescence as a small town cheerleader to life as an author, traveler and rancher. Like the main character in her interconnected and often autobiographical short stories, Carolyn Osborn is extremely curious about her occasionally eccentric family, yet she must continually accept the mysteries of realitya mother, diagnosed as incurably schizohprenic, kept in a state mental hospital, next door neighbors who appear to live on almost nothing, the eternal balance of caring deeply for an unforgiving Texas Hill Country landscape while traveling from Europe to Egypt to the Galapagos. Aware of the need for family mythology, she often mines family history (one of her forebears may have followed Daniel Boone over the Cumberland Gap and later settled in Tennessee; his long rifle hangs in Osborn's living room) and her own distinctly Southern background that witnesses a fading 19th-century morality, readily accepts individual eccentricity, and celebrates storytelling as a way of understanding the world. Explores the life of the author, from her Depression-era childhood in Tennessee to her adolescence in the Hill Country of Texas, from life as a small town cheerleader to life as a world-travelling author, from the child of a hard scrabble farmer to that of a semi-retired rancher.

Paperback. Condition: NEW. Paperback. In Blood Flower, passionate imagery married to music bursts from each line pushing out the boundaries of Uschuk's earlier poems. It continues themes in Uschuk's American Book Award winner, Crazy Love. The poems braid the startling, sometimes brutal stories of her Russian/Czech immigrant family during the McCarthy Era in a conservative Michigan farming community with stories of courageous individuals, especially women, who persevere to love, despite it all. Uschuk's step-grandfather, father, brother, nephews, and first husband all suffered severe PTSD as combat veterans who returned home from wars that ravished not only their lives, but the lives of the women and children closest to them.This is the history not just of one family but of immigrants in this nation. These poems, although set in landscapes across the globe, commonly draw their imagery and healing from the natural world, the wild world, and the integrity of the human heart.

'This novel of international espionage begins with a bizarre terrorist attack meant to discredit a secret society that has been attempting to steer historical events for more than a century. Jack Driscoll, a member of the society, and Israeli security specialist Rachel Green partner up with a sexy but mysterious woman in order to prevent a second attack, this one intended to disrupt a global economic summit in Europe. Together they must make sure the president of the United States attends the summit while keeping him safe from assassins who would like nothing more than to start a world war by killing the leader of the free world while he is on foreign soil. As the trio attempt to prevent a global catastrophe, readers will discover some of the real history of America, including why Lee chose Gettysburg, why Franklin Roosevelt had to run for a third and fourth term in office, and why Tom Hanks' becoming a movie star was one of secret society's greatest failure'.

A young woman named Kate explores her historical connection to the development of Freudian theory and the early beginnings of psychoanalysis in this mystery rooted in the past. Based on real facts concerning the pivotal figures in the development of modern psychology, the complicated lives of Sigmund Freud, his colleague Helene Deutsch, and his rival Victor Tausk are carefully reconstructed to show how their interpersonal intricacies may have led to conspiracy and deceit in the writing of early 20th-century history. When Kate realizes that Tausk was her grandfather, she begins to uncover the details around his mysterious suicide. Only as Kate uncovers the truth is she able to make important decisions about her own future.

Paperback. Condition: New. First Edition. 8.3 X 5.4 X 0.3 inches; x, 83 pages; Soft cover has tan colored spine with yellowish lettering. NEW. Print book : English : 1st edView all editions and formatsSummary: "Chip Dameron's Tropical Green is rich with images of the South Texas coastal regions. "Buzzards" is a hilarious poem that links car engines ("Gas and sparking, pistons, compression") , buzzards, and student aversion to poetry; "Cicadas" is equally funny although in a quieter way, comparing the "insect mantra" to "a six-legged Buddha, sitting in his tree / with his 17-year smile and thousands of incarnations." Never pretentious or contrived, Dameron's lines are crisp and insightful: "All the Young Swans" describes the "bloody toeboxes" of young ballet dancers who "floated to applause / across a lake of illusion." There is wisdom in these poems: "Instructing My Son" shows a father's awareness that his son has "stopped [listening to him] fifty yards ago," that the boy is moving, "stride for stride, / to the sound of his own breathing." Dameron's endings are particularly strong, often coming as a sharp surprise and causing the poem to reverberate with sudden metaphoric force, "sweet against the bone" and giving "new daylight / the shadow that it needed.".
