Download or read book Hemming Flames written by Patricia Colleen Murphy and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 19 of the May Swenson Poetry Award Series, 2016 Throughout this haunting first collection, Patricia Colleen Murphy shows how familial mental illness, addiction, and grief can render even the most courageous person helpless. With depth of feeling, clarity of voice, and artful conflation of surrealist image and experience, she delivers vivid descriptions of soul-shaking events with objective narration, creating psychological portraits contained in sharp, bright language and image. With Plathian relentlessness, Hemming Flames explores the deepest reaches of family dysfunction through highly imaginative language and lines that carry even more emotional weight because they surprise and delight. In landscapes as varied as an Ohio back road, a Russian mental institution, a Korean national landmark, and the summit of Kilimanjaro, each poem sews a new stitch on the dark tapestry of a disturbed suburban family’s world. The May Swenson Poetry Award is an annual competition named for May Swenson, one of America’s most provocative and vital writers. During her long career, Swenson was loved and praised by writers from virtually every school of American poetry. She left a legacy of fifty years of writing when she died in 1989. She is buried in her hometown of Logan, Utah.

The daughter of a prominent samurai, Mariko has long known her place—she may be an accomplished alchemist, whose cunning rivals that of her brother Kenshin, but because she is not a boy, her future has always been out of her hands. At just seventeen years old, Mariko is promised to Minamoto Raiden, the son of the emperor's favorite consort—a political marriage that will elevate her family's standing. But en route to the imperial city of Inako, Mariko narrowly escapes a bloody ambush by a dangerous gang of bandits known as the Black Clan, who she learns has been hired to kill her before she reaches the palace. Dressed as a peasant boy, Mariko sets out to infiltrate the Black Clan and track down those responsible for the target on her back. Once she's within their ranks, though, Mariko finds for the first time she's appreciated for her intellect and abilities. She even finds herself falling in love—a love that will force her to question everything she's ever known about her family, her purpose, and her deepest desires.

Book excerpt: "Here are accounts of twenty-five fires over the years which resulted in disastrous loss of life or property. Many of these fires wer catastrophic, and some were of such magnitude that they have become an important part of history--every one of them could have been prevented. Annually, in America alone, more than 10,000 lives are claimed by fire, and more than $1,000,000,000 worth of property is destroyed. Fire sweeps through a fashionalbe Boston night club in a matter of minutes and 490 perish; a small blaxe suddenly engulfs a circus big top in Hartford, Connecticut, and 163 die; a single spark destroys the $60,000,000 ship NORMANDIE; escap doors bolted on the outside take the lives of 146 girls in a loft factory in New York; fire in a "fireproof" hotel in Atlanta, Georgia, kills 119 guests; 1,500 men, women, and children are victims of a Wisconsin forest fire. Other names have become synonymous with fire--the MORRO CASTLE; the German zeppelin HINDENBURG; London, Chicago, San Fransisco; the Ohio State Penitentiary; and Texas City, Texas. These are some of the fires recounted in this book. Others ware equally famous. In each case special attention is devoted to cause and consequence. How to prevent fires, and how to deal with them if they occur, is an essential aspect of everyone's knowledge today. This book tells what to do in the event of fire, and why. Above all, it stresses certain precautions to be observed in keeping fires from ever getting started."--Jacket flaps.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Sir Geoffrey Mappestone mystery Southampton 1070 Sir Geoffrey Mappestone and his loyal friend Roger seek passage on one of the many ships due to sail to Normandy and then on to the Holy Land. The two knights have been away from the Crusade too long, and are itching to get back to the action. But peculiar things have been happening in the harbour town, and it soon becomes evident that someone is trying to keep Geoffrey and Roger from boarding one of the ships. When Geoffrey's dim-witted servant is killed by a deadly arrow that was clearly meant for the knight himself, Sir Geoffrey's fury is such that he would do anything to find the murderer. But then Ranulf Flambard - who is not only the Bishop of Durham and an escapee from the Tower of London, but also happens to be Roger's father - arrives in Southampton with an errand for his son to perform. Much against Geoffrey's better judgement, the pair set off for the northern town of Durham, where a magnificent cathedral is being built at Flambard's behest. As yet more arrows fly Geoffrey's way, the knight begins to realize that none of these events are random, and it is down to him to discover the connection between the two towns, Bishop Flambard and a handful of red-stained arrows.

There was something about him that was evil—and yet she had to have him... Brose Kirby came up through the ranks. He was a man born to make a name. Tough, driving—a man who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted. And he wanted Mildred Wade. But she was the daughter of one of Richmond’s greatest families—and Brose—Brose was scum... This is one of the truly great novels of the Civil War. Powerful, vivid—panoramic in scope, it is a brilliant picture of the scorched and bloody days that helped to form today’s America.
