Download or read book Ordinary Girls written by Jaquira Díaz and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the Must-Read Books of 2019 According to O: The Oprah Magazine * Time * Bustle * Electric Literature * Publishers Weekly * The Millions * The Week * Good Housekeeping “There is more life packed on each page of Ordinary Girls than some lives hold in a lifetime.” —Julia Alvarez In this searing memoir, Jaquira Díaz writes fiercely and eloquently of her challenging girlhood and triumphant coming of age. While growing up in housing projects in Puerto Rico and Miami Beach, Díaz found herself caught between extremes. As her family split apart and her mother battled schizophrenia, she was supported by the love of her friends. As she longed for a family and home, her life was upended by violence. As she celebrated her Puerto Rican culture, she couldn’t find support for her burgeoning sexual identity. From her own struggles with depression and sexual assault to Puerto Rico’s history of colonialism, every page of Ordinary Girls vibrates with music and lyricism. Díaz writes with raw and refreshing honesty, triumphantly mapping a way out of despair toward love and hope to become her version of the girl she always wanted to be. Reminiscent of Tara Westover’s Educated, Kiese Laymon’s Heavy, Mary Karr’s The Liars’ Club, and Terese Marie Mailhot’s Heart Berries, Jaquira Díaz’s memoir provides a vivid portrait of a life lived in (and beyond) the borders of Puerto Rico and its complicated history—and reads as electrically as a novel.

But Twilly Spree, the man tailing Stoat, has vengeance, not sport-utility vehicles, on his mind. Idealistic, independently wealthy and pathologically short-tempered, Twilly has dedicated himself to saving Florida's wilderness from runaway destruction. He favors unambiguous political statements—such as torching Jet-Skis or blowing up banks—that leave his human targets shaken but re-educated. After watching Stoat blithely dump a trail of fast-food litter out the window, Twilly decides to teach him a lesson. Thus, Stoat's prized Range Rover becomes home to a horde of hungry dung beetles.

Download or read book How to Escape from a Leper Colony written by Tiphanie Yanique and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2012-08-07 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An enthralling debut collection from a singular Caribbean voice For a leper, many things are impossible, and many other things are easily done. Babalao Chuck said he could fly to the other side of the island and peek at the nuns bathing. And when a man with no hands claims that he can fly, you listen. The inhabitants of an island walk into the sea. A man passes a jail cell's window, shouldering a wooden cross. And in the international shop of coffins, a story repeats itself, pointing toward an inevitable tragedy. If the facts of these stories are sometimes fantastical, the situations they describe are complex and all too real. Lyrical, lush, and haunting, the prose shimmers in this nuanced debut, set mostly in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Part oral history, part postcolonial narrative, How to Escape from a Leper Colony is ultimately a loving portrait of a wholly unique place. Like Gabriel García Márquez, Edwidge Danticat, and Maryse Condé before her, Tiphanie Yanique has crafted a book that is heartbreaking, hilarious, magical, and mesmerizing. An unforgettable collection.

Download or read book Incendiary Art written by Patricia Smith and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-15 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, 2017 Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist, 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry Winner, NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work in the Poetry category Winner, 2018 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award Winner, 2018 BCALA Best Poetry Award Winner, Abel Meeropol Award for Social Justice Finalist, Neustadt International Prize for Literature Winner, 2021 Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize One of the most magnetic and esteemed poets in today’s literary landscape, Patricia Smith fearlessly confronts the tyranny against the black male body and the tenacious grief of mothers in her compelling new collection, Incendiary Art. She writes an exhaustive lament for mothers of the "dark magicians," and revisits the devastating murder of Emmett Till. These dynamic sequences serve as a backdrop for present-day racial calamities and calls for resistance. Smith embraces elaborate and eloquent language— "her gorgeous fallen son a horrid hidden / rot. Her tiny hand starts crushing roses—one by one / by one she wrecks the casket’s spray. It’s how she / mourns—a mother, still, despite the roar of thorns"— as she sharpens her unerring focus on incidents of national mayhem and mourning. Smith envisions, reenvisions, and ultimately reinvents the role of witness with an incendiary fusion of forms, including prose poems, ghazals, sestinas, and sonnets. With poems impossible to turn away from, one of America’s most electrifying writers reveals what is frightening, and what is revelatory, about history.

Until one unexpected night, four days before her wedding to another man, changes everything... Indira Porter has always been a survivor. After a tragic event sets her whole life in a completely new direction, the only person she knows she can trust is herself - and Javon, her boyfriend. The pair are in love or... so it seems. In her mind, their love is real and secure enough to withstand the hardships of life. With their wedding just days away, Indira convinces herself that marrying Javon is the best thing to do despite his imperfections. However, the big lesson Indira is about to learn, is the difference between a boy who exploits her and a man who truly cherishes her. Bakari Marshall: a man that many love and many love to hate. His attractive looks, irresistible smile and intelligence doesn’t take away from the ruthless, dominant individual he is. Being the only son of his parents, meant that Bakari had to step up and be the protector of his entire family: his mother, father and two crazy ass sisters who he would die for in a heartbeat. Grinding his way to the top meant that he could become the respected, feared and envied man he is today. Falling in love was never part of his game plan and if he did fall in love, he certainly didn’t expect it to be with a beauty such as Indira. Someone that he believed was just a childhood acquaintance and someone who didn’t care for his existence. Indira’s been acquainted to the quiet, humble and no-nonsense side of Mr. Marshall before, but she’s about to become well acquainted with the private, unusual side of him. The side that takes her to indescribable euphoria. The romance between Bakari and Indira consumes them both, becoming intense and too passionate for either party to resist. Despite all the odds saying they can’t be together, Bakari makes it clear to Indira that she alone is who he wants. And the word ‘no’ just happens to not be in his vocabulary. Can Indira allow herself to be with the one man that she’s convinced herself for so long is just a product of her past? Or will her loyalty to her so-called fiancé stop her from beginning a new chapter with an infamous yet charming hood king? With secrets lurking in every corner... will Indira be able to trust herself or even anyone at all? In My Hood King Gave Me A Love Like No Other... love will certainly endure but who is strong enough to win the war?

Now that the truth is finally brought to the light, Indira wants absolutely nothing to do with him. But wants and needs are two very different things. And with the way Mr. Marshall has quickly learned to make love to all parts of her body, staying away from him is about to be the biggest challenge of her life. Especially when she knows that despite him keeping such a big secret from her, he’s the only man she still truly wants. However, when Javon makes a bold statement that solidifies his love and commitment to her, Indira starts to realize that staying well away from Bakari Marshall is the only option to choose. Bakari Marshall never would have imagined being in his current predicament.

For the first time ever, Bakari’s love life begins to spiral out of control, but not only does his love life spiral, his tight bond with his sister, Tokyo, spirals uncontrollably once he learns who she’s been messing with, an old enemy who Bakari despises with all his heart and soul.
