Book excerpt: "Composing Myself is a heartwarming story of forgiving the people you love, and finding the strength to stand up and be proud of where you came from. I laughed, I cried, and I had a smile on my face when I turned the last page." ~ Tracey Garvis Graves, author of the New York Times bestseller On the Island The worst kind of lie is the one you tell yourself. Whitney Monroe it's always been easier to lie about who her mother really was than face the shame and judgement that would surely follow the truth. Raised by her grandmother, Whitney had always managed to keep her two worlds separate, even if it meant lying to everyone—especially herself. But those lies suddenly become much harder to keep when Reid Phillips, a struggling musician and her not-entirely-welcome new roommate complicates things by seeing right through her carefully constructed walls and challenging her compartmentalized life. Now with Grams seriously ill, her mother’s life in turmoil and her dream job and relationship on the line, it’s more important than ever for Whitney to hold everything together. But when that means being honest with everyone—starting with herself, is Whitney strong enough to do what it takes?

Download or read book Composing Ourselves written by Randy Koch and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Randy Koch, a transplanted Minnesotan, began teaching English composition to Spanish-speaking and bilingual students on the Texas-Mexico border, he recorded his experiences in a journal made up entirely of sonnets. These sonnets vary in form from strict to loose to experimental to absolutely wild. This highly entertaining, moving, important book deals with the themes of education, communication, good writing, and bicultural community. Some of the poems are funny, some sad, some worried, some joyful. Many of them are passionate, but all of them are compassionate. Koch celebrates the joys of English and the pleasures of teaching; but more importantly, these poems are tributes to Randy's students, the people who have changed his life, one class day at a time.

Book excerpt: Telling Moments collects contemporary short stories by a diverse group of twenty-four lesbian writers. Engaging themes of life and death, aging, motherhood, race, love, work, and travel, the writers offer brief glimpses into lesbian lives. The stories are by well-known contemporary writers—Gloria Anzaldúa, Mary Cappello, Emma Donoghue, Jewelle Gomez, Karla Jay, Anna Livia, Valerie Miner, Lesléa Newman, Minnie Bruce Pratt, Ruthann Robson, Sarah Schulman, and Jess Wells—and exciting newer voices, such as Donna Allegra and Marion Douglas. There are also stories from performance artists Carmelita Tropicana, Peggy Shaw, and Maya Chowdhry. Anna Livia’s protagonist appreciates her mother’s artful garden creation. Ruthann Robson tells of a survivor of the health care system. In Marion Douglas’s story a teenager dances with an alluring classmate. Donna Allegra’s strong construction worker copes with the death of her mother. And Karla Jay sets her character forth to swim with sharks. Most of the stories are accompanied by an author photo, biographical sketch, and—a most significant feature—a commentary from the author on her writing process and the autobiographical nature of her story, illustrating the truth behind the fiction.

Download or read book Pedagogy Left in Peace written by David W. Jardine and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-12-20 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of fragmentation has transformed the living, convivial pursuit of knowledge into something akin to an industrial assembly line. Schooling in North America is inherently based on this idea, working against the spirit of pedagogy and the very nature of knowledge itself. Fragmentation has lead to practices that are easily recognizable in schools such as surveillance, colonization, leveling, standardization, normalization and even oppression: the logic of fragmentation has lead to the breaking apart of the living disciplines of knowledge entrusted to teachers and students in the classroom. In this profound and challenging book, David Jardine explores some of the historical and philosophical ancestries of the logic of fragmentation and then lays out how the logic of fragmentation is being interrupted by progressive contemporary thinking about the nature of knowledge and its pursuit. Jardine uses real classroom examples to show how inspiring teachers and students have stepped out from the normal rigidity of the school system to pursue a pedagogy left in peace.
