Book excerpt: MACKINLAY KANTOR Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Andersonville GLORY FOR ME A Novel in Verse By MacKinlay Kantor BASIS FOR THE MOVIE THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES It is seldom in time of war that an author, no matter how emotionally aware of what it all means, can write a book which expresses the feeling that motivates fighting men. Why did it happen this way, why is it ending this way— what are we now that it is done with, now that we are home? Indeed, are we home, or are we in a boarding-house of confusion and wretchedly defeated purposes and understandings? MacKinlay Kantor is one of America's best-known novelists. It might be said that if any author could write that book Kantor would be the one for the job, but it takes more than mere professional writing skill to achieve such a major accomplishment. It takes awareness born of action and danger and keenly felt knowledge. Such knowledge MacKinlay Kantor has found, and in his novel of war and its men, Glory for Me, he has wholly expressed it. Well above the draft age, and physically unacceptable to the armed forces, Kantor intensely felt the need to join his younger fellows in some way; in some way he had to be a part of the danger, the horror, the glory of this war. He found his opportunity as a war correspondent. As such, based in England, he flew in combat with the U. S. Air Forces and the R.A.F. over enemy territory into flak and fire. As such he learned to know the fighting men whose constant companion, friend and fellow-in-war he was for many months. For the equivalent of a leave Kantor came back to the United States, and what filled his mind and his heart and his thoughts had to find expression in a book, which is Glory for Me. Glory for Me is a simple novel—about three service men, honorably discharged for medical causes, who return home to the same town where in peacetime they had not known one another. Now they know one another, and through them we know them and their town and our country and war and peace and man. Glory for Me is a national epic, told in language of the common man, in language of the poet: told as only an American could tell it.

Download or read book Clap for Me written by Paola Capó-Garcia and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Latinx Studies. Women's Studies. California Interest. "What you're reading is poetría plain and very simple," declares Paola Capó-García's CLAP FOR ME THAT'S NOT ME, a collection that revels in assured complication. Through montage and ever-startling switchbacks, CLAP FOR ME THAT'S NOT ME splices slapstick and dead seriousness, power poses and TV sex scenes, mystic contemplation and glitter shit, the self on a time-out and the self trotted out, and smack talk en inglés and shock and awe in Spanish, into one "lavish lengua," "making something out of everything, the All," making something totally its own. An unrelenting exercise in messiness and identity, Capó-García assures us, "It's not that I don't like this thing it's just that this other thing is way more tricked out." "'I've been having desires lately,' writes Paola Capó-García, 'and I don't know what to do with them.' But desires permeate the site of these poems that grow bawdy, perverse, delicious inside the body and spill out into gorgeous, gasping lines that switch and kick like a dancer moving across the page. There is a quickness, lithe and pleasurable, that invigorates this astonishing debut."--D.A. Powell "CLAP FOR ME THAT'S NOT ME is an exploration of the 'gaping pretty flushed holes' of meaning, as well as a meditation on the erotics/politics of technocapitalist embodiment, where the poet's flow is always also 'for consumption for dissemination for fandom.' Amid the lipsticks and throw pillows and LED lights, Capó-García finds an old-school blues ('I am losing my tongue in the service of poetry') rooted in equal parts indignation, mourning, longing, and a survivalist wit that asks us to channel our 'land-based rage' in the name of cleansing decolonial desires. Because who among us doesn't want to 'be straddled maybe while wearing leather pants and heels' and still unwrite the 'father figure' and the 'beauty skin regimen' in solidarity with the 'childless loveless houseless' practice of a radical écriture? The modernist in me would call this perhaps the most dynamically challenging prose-poem-bursts by an English-language Puerto Rican poet since 1920s William Carlos Williams, or else inSteintaneous punktuation or the making of hemispher(ot)ic) Américans--except that CLAP FOR ME demands its own hi-density coordinates: 'Esto no es poesía' and 'This fiction is HD.' There's nothing PC or G-rated about PCG's me-not-me textual unfolding; instead this self-unwriting has the carefully curated scattershot rigor of Bad Bunny's Instagram if its hashtag swirls were written by Leslie Scalapino. This jam deserves a slow-ass clap."--Urayoán Noel "CLAP FOR ME THAT'S NOT ME choreographs the plot-twisting costume-changing ad-riddled complexities of contemporary identity in genre-blurring acts of literary brilliance. It is a purity-pulverizing and deeply satisfying story-ish arc of postcolonial poetics and feminine intellectual backtalk within a 21st century configuration of empire. This collection is gut-wrenching, yummy, hilarious, and tender but importantly, never quite soothing."--Anna Joy Springer

But it turns out spontaneously creating a human being named Guy is slightly more complicated than Katie could have anticipated. Guy is wholly devoted to Katie but can't pin down why. Her high school classmates can't figure out what a hot guy like him is with her. And to make matters worse, her BFF isn't on board with this new romance. Plus, the longtime boy from next door is suddenly all kinds of moody. So is the "perfect" boy the right boy for Katie, after all? From the author of What I Like About Me comes a hilarious twist on the 1985 pop culture classic "Weird Science." Jenna Guillaume uses her signature humor and relatable voice to delight and also explore themes of body image, friendship, and supporting character asexuality.
