Hardback. Condition: Good. An enslaved young man named Dave was brought to Edgefield, in the heart of South Carolina's pottery-producing area. Dave showed exceptional natural talent. Soon he was creating pieces of great beauty and often massive size. He also learnt to read and write, even though South Carolina had laws prohibiting slave literacy. Then Dave did something even more daring: he began to sign his jars and carve many of them with sayings and short poems that reflected his daily life and experiences. With these courageous acts, Dave quietly protested through his art. Andrea Cheng (illustrator).…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Life passes quickly. I guess you could say I am near the end of my life span. The experience I have had I would like to share. The poetry I have written is somewhat like a diary. A lot of it was written at crucial periods in my life. As I look back, my writing was significant at that time and proves to be somewhat of a time capsule. I hope you will enjoy the experience and maybe see things a little more differently. I guess you could say I was successful. I made it through life and achieved the things that most people want and need a lot of; it is just vanity. So, I lift my glass and salute the future and hope our new technology can overcome our current challenges, thus allowing a new freedom for those of us who endured the hardships of a learning disability.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. A vivid narrative that recreates the life of Gaius Valerius Catullus, Rome's first modern" poet, and follows a young man's journey through a world filled with all the indulgences and sexual excesses of the time, from doomed love affairs to shrewd political maneuvering and backstabbing--an accessible, appealing look at one of history's greatest poets. Born to one of Verona's leading families, Catullus spent most of his young adulthood in Rome, mingling with the likes of Caesar and Cicero and chronicling his life through his poetry. Famed for his lyrical and subversive voice, his poems about his friends were jocular, often obscenely funny, while those who crossed him found themselves skewered in raunchy verse, sudden objects of hilarity and ridicule. These bawdy poems were disseminated widely throughout Rome. Many of his poems recall his secret longstanding affair with the seductive older Clodia. While Catullus and Clodia made love in the shadows, the whole of Italy was quaking as Caesar, Pompey and Crassus forged a doomed alliance for power. During these tumultuous years, Catullus increasingly turned to darker subject matter, and he finally composed his greatest work of all--a poem about the decoration on a bedspread--which forms the heart of this biography, a work of beauty that will achieve immortality and make Catullus a legend. Catullus' Bedspread includes an 8-page color insert.&nbsp.…
