Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dannye Romine Powell's marvelous new collection gives us a generous offering of poems that document the tender mercies of a woman ruminating on the cusp of endtime. Shockingly insightful, the poems look away from no aspect of a woman's life, fully entering (and suffering) both the joys and the agonies entailed by our deep commitments to others. In plain style language and a lucid, epigrammatic form, Powell's poems arrest us again and again with their brutal intelligence and emotional authenticity. -Kate Daniels, author of A Walk in Victoria's Secret
Download or read book Nino and Me written by Bryan A. Garner and published by Threshold Editions. This book was released on 2019-05-21 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From legal expert and veteran author Bryan Garner comes a unique, intimate, and compelling memoir of his friendship with the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. For almost thirty years, Antonin Scalia was arguably the most influential and controversial Justice on the United States Supreme Court. His dynamic and witty writing devoted to the Constitution has influenced an entire generation of judges. Based on his reputation for using scathing language to criticize liberal court decisions, many people presumed Scalia to be gruff and irascible. But to those who knew him as “Nino,” he was characterized by his warmth, charm, devotion, fierce intelligence, and loyalty. Bryan Garner’s friendship with Justice Scalia was instigated by celebrated writer David Foster Wallace and strengthened over their shared love of language. Despite their differing viewpoints on everything from gun control to the use of contractions, their literary and personal relationship flourished. Justice Scalia even officiated at Garner’s wedding. In this humorous, touching, and surprisingly action-packed memoir, Garner gives a firsthand insight into the mind, habits, and faith of one of the most famous and misunderstood judges in the world.

The year is 1874 and the Civil War in America has long since finished, but not the day of the gunman in the untamed West. During his stay on the ranch, a number of cowboys are butchered under mysterious circumstances. The owner calls in an agent from the Pinkerton Detective Agency to try and solve the mystery. Lawrence falls under immediate suspicion because the killings did not start until he arrived at the ranch. As if that is not enough, detectives from Scotland Yard are called in to investigate a series of murders in Hertfordshire, Lawrence's home county in England. When the bodies are discovered on his father's estate, Lawrence again falls under suspicion there, the police accusing his father of sending him away to the Americas to avoid the clutches of the police. He is ordered to return to Britain by his father to answer the charges facing him there, but is shocked to learn that this will not be possible as his son is due to be hung in Kansas for the murder of the cowboys. In the meantime Estelle, the love of Lawrence's life, is being forced against her will to marry someone else.... Can Lawrence escape the hangman in the States and face the music back home? A taut thriller from the pen of Alex Binney.
