Download or read book Cornfield Laughter written by Dennis L. Siluk Ed.D. and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009-04 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The novella, "Cornfield Laughter," is an interesting parody, and tale of the lives of a number of characters, in particular, two: Shannon O'Day, a retired labour worker in the Midwest (a man direct, with little social trappings), who seems to have led an arduous life of drinking, brawling, to a point, womanizing. And Poggi Ingway, past-middle age, a foundry worker; it is 1966. Both are searching for contentment in life. Shannon thought he had it, until his wife left. Poggi seems to have left it in San Francisco, in an afternoon affair. For that matter, all the characters in the story are seeking in one way or another, that same ingredient, contentment. Yet Poggi anticipates suicide. The story ends as all the characters are drawn together, a glimpse of their lives are given to the reader...to include the promiscuous young Annabelle and her co-worker Maribel, Old Josh the diner cook, Jake and Zam-Zam (a tap dancer). Included in the book are ten short stories; four in English and Spanish: "In the Eyes of the Bull" (Seville, 1998); "Hills like Green Iguanas," (Vietnam, 1971); "A Toucan against One" (from the Amazon); "The Book Story" (a spoof, of sort); and several others.

Download or read book Days D as written by Dennis L. Siluk and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2014-07-16 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most folks, to include poets, prefer poetry on death to entail mostly courage and strength; I dont disagree completely with that, only partly, for submissive suffering is also involved; yet, many folks just do not want to look at both sides of the dying. Nowadays things are changing, and it is more permissible, yet still bold to mix them together, and thus, here we have just that. I prefer true emotions: be it aggressive or passive when going through death voyages; for such are during a paramount loss, of a loved one dying, day by day, especially, ones mother, as in Days... In the second section of the book, is the prose poem: Recapitulations (or, The Meatpackers Boy) autobiographical in content. Also, a few additional independent poems on: Vietnam, America, An Old Furnace and Commentary: Trials of a Poet. The third section, four new poems, Coming of Old Age. In section four: a letter from Pope Francis to the author, quotes, and the authors books. Much of the poetry in this book, Days, is done in a free verse style, long line form, other than the confessional-grieving poetry on the death of the poets mother, a very deserted, overwhelming, human undertaking. Rosa Pealoza This is the poets 47th book, 16th in poetry. He lives in Lima, Peru and in the Andes, in Huancayo, with his wife Rosa; he is from Minnesota, and has won numerous awards for his writings. Presently working on several books. Back picture of the author, taken in Huancayo, 2011.

Download or read book A Girl Holding Lilacs written by Ed Ifkovic and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2002-10 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Girl Holding Lilacs tells the story of the young daughter of a struggling immigrant family from Croatia, living on a small farm in Connecticut during the bleak, Depression-bound 1930s. The family is isolated not only from its cherished Old Country roots but also from the large, vibrant Croatian colonies of the Midwest. As Anna moves from her six years into adolescence, she chronicles, with increasing fright and confusion, the effects of America on the world she knows. She watches her parents change before the harsh new life, and she watches as her beloved brother Joey, the American-born, happy-go-lucky boy who wants so much from life, slowly drown in a world of despair and decay. Originally published in 1980 as Anna Marinkovich, this edition has been rewritten in keeping with the author's original intentions.
