Book excerpt: These are not your mother's erotic stories. We're not giggling about foul language over tea,or avoiding smut talk at the Tupperware party. This book is slick fingers and flesh on your lips. It's twisted bodies late at night when the city sleeps and the moans fall where no one can hear them. This book is pain and pleasure, lust and passion, a body brought to the breaking point. It's drenched in the musk of sweat, shuddering at the touch of a Master.
Download or read book Bend Don t Shatter written by T. Cole Rachel and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2004-05-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bend Don't Shatter is an anthology of poetry for young adults that realistically and beautifully deals with what it means to come of age as gay, lesbian, transgender, or, as is perhaps more often the case in adolescence, totally confused. The anthology approaches the seemingly unnavigable territory of teenage sexuality and confusion with poems written by adults who keenly remember the turmoil, pain and excitement of adolescence and sexual coming of age. The poems are written with the insight and clarity of perspective and understanding that comes with years. The book shows that teenage sexuality is more nuanced and complicated than it is often given credit for. It is valuable in that it not only provides a service of sorts—giving young adults a thing with which they can identify, a thing that might comfort, console, explain, entertain, and illuminate—but also just as importantly, it brings the pleasures of poetry to an audience for whom poetry itself might seem as unfathomable as adulthood itself.
Download or read book On the Other Hand written by Renee Paule and published by RPG Publishing. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A straight from the shoulder look at life in which the author asks some awkward questions that we might prefer to swat away like an annoying fly. Questions like: Who am I? What is this life really about? What is the mind? Why do we resist change? These are the questions we lock away in a tall tower like some inconvenient relative whose 'lost her marbles' and become an embarrassment to the family. Perhaps you've been asking 'comfortable' questions and avoiding the hard-hitting ones, preferring to hide away from them and pretending that they don't exist. We hope that someone, somewhere, will put it all right for us. They won't! This book is not for the faint of heart as it brings you face to face with yourself ... but not the one you see when you look in the mirror. If you've locked yourself up in protective custody and thrown away the key, this book could well pick the lock and let you out again. There's something wonderful waiting to be discovered if we care to take a look. If you're prepared to be brutally honest when thinking about the questions raised in this book and to be your own harshest critic, then pop over to the cash desk or place it in your basket online and, go for it. You're not alone and help is always available ... far closer than you can imagine.
Download or read book The Kentucky Anthology written by Wade Hall and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2010-09-12 with total page 898 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long before the official establishment of the Commonwealth, intrepid pioneers ventured west of the Allegheny Mountains into an expansive, alluring wilderness that they began to call Kentucky. After blazing trails, clearing plots, and surviving innumerable challenges, a few adventurers found time to pen celebratory tributes to their new homeland. In the two centuries that followed, many of the world’s finest writers, both native Kentuckians and visitors, have paid homage to the Bluegrass State with the written word. In The Kentucky Anthology, acclaimed author and literary historian Wade Hall has assembled an unprecedented and comprehensive compilation of writings pertaining to Kentucky and its land, people, and culture. Hall’s introductions to each author frame both popular and lesser-known selections in a historical context. He examines the major cultural and political developments in the history of the Commonwealth, finding both parallels and marked distinctions between Kentucky and the rest of the United States. While honoring the heritage of Kentucky in all its glory, Hall does not blithely turn away from the state’s most troubling episodes and institutions such as racism, slavery, and war. Hall also builds the argument, bolstered by the strength and significance of the collected writings, that Kentucky’s best writers compare favorably with the finest in the world. Many of the authors presented here remain universally renowned and beloved, while others have faded into the tides of time, waiting for rediscovery. Together, they guide the reader on a literary tour of Kentucky, from the mines to the rivers and from the deepest hollows to the highest peaks. The Kentucky Anthology traces the interests and aspirations, the achievements and failures and the comedies and tragedies that have filled the lives of generations of Kentuckians. These diaries, letters, speeches, essays, poems, and stories bring history brilliantly to life. Jesse Stuart once wrote, “If these United States can be called a body, Kentucky can be called its heart.” The Kentucky Anthology captures the rhythm and spirit of that heart in the words of its most remarkable chroniclers.

Download or read book Io Anthology written by Richard Grossinger and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2015 with total page 697 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Io Anthology celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of this formative journal and commemorates its role in clearing a path for decades of innovative publishing. Bringing together in one volume the quirky blend of artistic and scholarly writing that pushed the boundaries of what the "literary mag" encompassed, this book is a greatest hits collection of the major pieces published from 1965 to 1978. It features very early work from Stephen King, Allen Ginsberg, Michel Foucault, and many others, with forewords by writer and filmmaker Miranda July and scientist Robin Grossinger. In its twelve years of publishing, Io forged an inclusive path through the tsunami of the 1960s rebellion in art, literature, and the life of the spirit with writing that embraced science and science fiction, parapsychology, poetry from Pound to Charles Olson to the New American Poets, homeopathy, hermetics, alchemy and the occult, astrology, Tibetan Buddhism, and Sufism. Spotlighting the continuity of purpose and content between North Atlantic Books, which grew out of the magazine, this volume chronicles the voices and spirit that continue to enliven the publishing vision that persists to this day.

In the bush and the tropics, the goldfields and the city streets, colonial Australia is a troubling, bewildering place and almost impossible to regulate—even for the most vigilant detective. Ex-convicts, bushrangers, ruthless gold prospectors, impostors, thieves and murderers flow through the stories that make up this collection, challenging the nascent forces of colonial law and order. The landscape itself seems to stimulate criminal activity, where identities change at will and people suddenly disappear without a trace. The Anthology of Colonial Australian Crime Fiction is a remarkable anthology that taps into the fears and anxieties of colonial Australian life.
