This book was released on 2018-12-31 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Upon coming back to Chicago after grad school, I made the decision to work directly with underprivileged youth. I have done work in group homes, with foster kids, in various city high schools and juvenile detention centers. I've done all of this while living in areas of the city that are predominantly African-American. The manner in which I see young men handle one another has become increasingly alarming to me the older I become. Now that I have brought children of my own into the world, my concern continues to grow. This behavior has disturbed me so much that I will try and struggle to find it in my travels of the world. Of the places I have gone, the only time I see such conflict is in nature. Betta fish, or the Siamese fighting fish, share many qualities with African-Americans. They are extremely resilient and territorial. If in close proximity to one another, they will fight willingly to the death. The males and females can only come around each other briefly to mate and must then be separated or they will kill one another. Because of the nature of these animals, they are perpetually on the verge of extinction. The Journey of the Betta Fish is not only a reference to my own lifespan, but to the one we share as African Americans.

His improbable quest—to create a reference volume specific to his existence—takes him on a journey down the river by raft (see MYSTICAL VISION, see NAVIGATING BIG RIVERS BY NIGHT). He seeks to discover how his mother died (see ABSENCE) and find reasons for his father’s disappearance (see UNCERTAINTY, see VANITY). But as he goes about defining his changing world, all kinds of extraordinary and wonderful things happen to him. Unlocking an earnest, clear-eyed way of thinking that might change your own, A Key to Treehouse Living is a story about keeping your own record straight and living life by a different code.

Download or read book Advice from the Lights written by Stephanie Burt and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The brightest and most inviting of Burt’s collections for readers of any, all, and no genders.”—Boston Review Advice from the Lights is a brilliant and candid exploration of gender and identity and a series of looks at a formative past. It’s part nostalgia, part confusion, and part an ongoing wondering: How do any of us achieve adulthood? And why would we want to, if we had the choice? This collection is woven from and interrupted by extraordinary sequences, including Stephanie poems about Stephen’s female self; poems on particular years of the poet’s early life, each with its own memories, desires, insecurities, and pop songs; and versions of poems by the Greek poet Callimachus, whose present-day incarnation worries (who doesn’t?) about mortality, the favor of the gods, and the career of Taylor Swift. The collection also includes poems on politics, location, and parenthood. Taken all together, this is Stephen Burt’s most personal and most accomplished collection, an essential work that asks who we are, how we become ourselves, and why we make art.

Instead Ace, her boyfriend of two years, chose to reunite with his ex-wife, leaving Shelia emotionally devastated. It's a year later when Sheila is convinced that sneaking into their wedding ceremony will put closure on the gaping hole in her heart. But it's on the back pew of the church where a new relationship begins for Shelia. She can't explain the touch she received from God on that day, but she's determined to be a better woman-a woman of faith. Since high school, Shelia has been chasing her definition of the good life - it's left her with no home, no man, and no money. But now that's she's living life for God, things should get better, right? Shelia learns that living a faith-filled life isn't always easy. With faith, tough love, and some tough decisions, Shelia realizes that the life she'd been praying for she could have for herself is actually attainable. Being wrapped in God's arms, she decided, was by far the safest place she'd ever been.
