Download or read book Walk Like a Man written by Robert J. Wiersema and published by Greystone Books. This book was released on 2011-09-02 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are dozens of books about the Boss, exploring every facet of his career. So what's left to say? Nothing objective, perhaps. But when it comes to music, objectivity is highly overrated. Robert Wiersema has been a Springsteen fan since he was a teenager. By most definitions, he's a fanatic: following tours to see multiple shows in a row, watching set lists develop in real time via the Internet, ordering bootlegs from shady vendors in Italy. His attachment is deeper than fandom, though: he's grown up with Springsteen's music as the soundtrack to his life, beginning with his working-class youth in rural British Columbia and continuing on through dreams of escape, falling in love, and becoming a father. Walk Like a Man is liner notes for a mix tape, a frank and inventive blend of biography, music criticism, and memoir over the course of thirteen tracks. Like the best mix tapes, it balances joy and sorrow, laughter seasoning the dark-night-of-the-soul questions that haunt us all. Wiersema's book is the story of a man becoming a man (despite getting a little lost along the way), and of the man and the music that have accompanied him on his journey.

Download or read book Walk Like a Man written by Ann Baker and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-10 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For years I have been saying “as soon as this is over, I’m going to write a book.” Well, it’s over…at least the physical part…and the walk has been long and hard. Clay, my second son, and I discussed writing a book for years. I’m sure his version would have been much different. I wanted him to write his own story — finding out he was gay, his feelings, and his experiences while traveling his life in California, his experiences with the new gay disease. He never did. He just lived it. His actions, his activities, and his contributions to the world are telling their own story of his life. As I was chronicling this walk, I realized Clay’s story is a story about Clay, as a person, me, as a person, and the people in our path. This book is dedicated to Clay, who was a “mixed blessing,” and to the bodies strewn along the path of the epidemic called AIDS, hewn out of history. It is my hope and the hope of those who knew and loved Clay that our experience will make someone else’s walk less painful, less lonely.

Book excerpt: I came up with the idea for the name of my book when one evening, as Den and I were walking down a dark and deserted road in Germany, carrying off our garbage, he had me dressed in a fatigue jacket, army baseball hat, and I had on jeans. He said, "Jenny, walk like a man." I have thought about that many times as I have navigated the roads I have traveled in my life--some good and some very hard. My book is about the first twenty-six years of my life. It sometimes feels like I lost my life and picked up another one. I have been happy and sad, but I have tried to be content in whatever state I have found myself. I have found happiness and contentment in my God, my husband, my children, and grandchildren. God is so good!

Based on the real-life events of Amo Raju, Walk Like a Man follows the trials and tribulations of navigating a world not designed for disabled people.

Walk Like a Man is co-authored by Mani Hayre, a writer who helped bring Amo's story to life through the eyes of our main protagonist AJ.

Download or read book Trying to Walk Like a Man written by Christopher Wiehl and published by . This book was released on 2017-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adversity.Every living person faces it. It's part of the human condition. I'm Christopher Wiehl, an actor and filmmaker, and I've had plenty of challenges of my own. Some people may not think that's the case, but I bet they've never had brain fluid leaking from their nose.I'd been living what some would have considered a charmed life when, in 2008, doctors discovered a brain tumor next to the auditory nerve in my right ear. It nearly killed me, but I'm still here. And through it all, one lesson I've learned is that the adversity people face is not as important as their response to it. It's how they overcome the obstacles--how they learn to walk like a man, as Bruce Springsteen would say--that keeps them moving forward.

Download or read book Practicing to Walk Like a Heron written by Jack Ridl and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Practicing to Walk Like a Heron multiple-award-winning Michigan poet Jack Ridl shares lines of well-earned wisdom in the face of a constantly changing world. The familiar comforts of life-a warm fire in winter, a lush garden in summer-become the settings for transcendent and universal truths in these poems, as moments of grief, sadness, and melancholy trigger a deeper appreciation for small but important joys. The simple clarity of Ridl's lines and diction make the poems accessible to all readers, but especially rewarding for those who appreciate carefully honed, masterful verse. Many of the poems take solace in nature-quiet deer outside in the woods, deep snow, a thrush's empty nest in the eaves-as well as man-made things in the world-a steamer trunk, glass jars, tea cups, and books piled high near an easy chair. Yet Ridl avoids becoming nostalgic or romantic in his surroundings, and shows that there is nothing easy in his celebration of topics like "The Letters," "But He Loved His Dog," "A Christmas List for Santa," and "The Enormous Mystery of Couples." An interlude of full-color pages divides Ridl's more personal poems d experiential in life. This relatable and emotionally powerful volume will appeal to all poetry readers.
