Download or read book The Naked Truth written by Allen Richey and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2013-02-11 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Naked Truth, by poet Allen Richey, is a story about a never-ending love between a man and a womana relationship that will last forever and a day. The context is of raw emotion put into words; it is not for the faint of heart. This story is a wild ride, with its ups and downs, laughter and tears. A few say that, while in love, only the strong survive, but sometimes it takes a strength outside ourselves to survive some of the things we live through. While writing of life and love, Richey also mixes his poetry with politics, ideas of spirituality, and some Native American wisdom. The writing is not meant to be offensive, but, rather, thought- provoking. Some of the poems hit hard at the realities of life, such as the cruelties of a tax system and simply becoming a slave to a job ("Taxpayer Blues") or surviving the hardships of life ("New Beginnings"). Each and every poem was born from a personal experience of Allen Richey, but, in a broader sense, the compilation explores the real-life circumstances that we all live through daily. In essence, Richey's poems touch the soul and help one "look past the veil."

Download or read book Underground U S A written by Xavier Mendik and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2003-03-26 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether defined by the carnivalesque excesses of Troma studios (The Toxic Avenger), the arthouse erotica of Radley Metzger and Doris Wishman, or the narrative experimentations of Abel Ferrara, Melvin Van Peebles, Jack Smith, or Harmony Korine, underground cinema has achieved an important position within American film culture. Often defined as "cult" and "exploitation" or "alternative" and "independent," the American underground retains separate strategies of production and exhibition from the cinematic mainstream, while its sexual and cinematic representations differ from the traditionally conservative structures of the Hollywood system. Underground U.S.A. offers a fascinating overview of this area of maverick moviemaking by considering the links between the experimental and exploitative traditions of the American underground.

Download or read book Daniel Webster s 52 Kids written by Donna J. Wilson and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2002-05 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE 52nd KID- If you counted, you know there are forty-nine chapters. Two are "double" because each married another classmate, so that leaves one-one. My story is told all the way through: clever, huh! To condense the facts, however, I need to say that I'm married to Robert "Bob" Wilson, and I have a daughter, Kim; her husband, Mike; and two grandchildren, Andrew and Gloria. They are the truest blessings that God has given me, next to His assurance of everlasting life. The class of '52 is a continual source of delight, surprise, and frustration-and those of us who meet in Tulsa on a fairly regular basis are luckier than all the rest. The photo is from the 1998 Home for the Holidays when I was inducted into the Daniel Webster Hall of Fame.
