Download or read book My Breath Floats Away from Me written by Eric Lochridge and published by Futurecycle Press. This book was released on 2022-03-07 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In My Breath Floats Away from Me, Eric Lochridge takes an enigmatic approach to the workings of the world, keeping a circumspect distance in poems that gravitate toward the personal. The resulting tension reverberates with insights that challenge the unresponsive systems and institutions that hold us down. Whether side-eyeing religion, career, or reckless destruction of the environment, Lochridge shows sharp comedic chops that accentuate a wacky, earnest spirit. His portrayals of fathers, husbands, and workers revel in a deadpan absurdism that commingles the real and the surreal. Throughout, the poems remain vigilant, poised to discern when to accept, when to surrender, and when to fight in a falling, failing world.

Download or read book Home is Here written by Yin Xzi Ho and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2021-08-17 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where do you come from? Where do you call home? Why? Often, when we think about belonging, we associate it with our country of birth, or the country we are raised in. This stems from the common belief that the place of one’s origin is the place one should know best. However, this easy version of belonging is complicated by increasing rates of global migration. For Yin Xzi Ho, the phenomenon of belonging is one she has navigated for most of her life. Growing up, she has travelled between Malaysia and China while being educated at an American international school. She has spent years unlearning the notion that her identity is based on what she is not (i.e. not Asian enough for her home country, not culturally White enough for her schools), in order to define for herself where she belongs. Rooted in feminist and human geography, as well as cultural anthropology and sociology, Home Is Here is a moving collection of poetry and prose filled with delicious food, wondrous sights, lasting friendships, and immense wisdom. Yin Xzi Ho takes us on a journey through China, Malaysia, Canada, Bhutan, Myanmar, and Australia as she discovers what it means to be home and what it feels like to belong.

Horror writer Travis Glasgow and his wife, Jodie, have bought their first house in Westlake, Maryland, just steps from Travis’s older brother’s home.

Travis is soon awakened by noises in the night and finds watery footprints in the basement that lead him to the nearby lake, which has a strange staircase emerging from its depths. When Travis discovers that a former occupant of his house—a ten-year-old boy—drowned in the lake, he draws connections to his own childhood tragedy. As his brother and wife warn him to leave well enough alone, Travis is pulled into a dark obsession, following the house’s secrets to the floating staircase—and into the depths of madness . . . “It would not be an overstatement to say that Floating Staircase is a modern classic ranking among some of the best supernatural affairs ever committed to print. . . .

What do you do when you write down all your secrets and the one person who should never read them does? I’ll tell you what you do. You hope.” REN Ren didn’t know the meaning of love until he took Della for his own. To begin with, he hated her, but as the months bled into years, he learned the opposite of hate, dedicating his life to giving her everything. Every sacrifice, every gift, he gave wholeheartedly. But then love turned to lust and ruined everything. DELLA I was stupid to write down my secrets, but I’d been stupid before, so it was nothing new. I couldn’t blame him, hate him, fix him. I tried to move on without him. But no matter what I did, I couldn’t seem to delete the secrets I’d written. Until something happened. Until he came back and read my stupid secrets. And nothing was the same after that.
