Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best Collection A Financial Times, Irish Times and Telegraph Book of the Year history is what we call / what might have happened differently / and didn't It is the decade of centuries, and Cheryl tells us our fortune. Radicals liberate a zoo, teenagers flirt in a bowling alley, and the dead are cherished. In these inventive, playful, dream-like poems, Stephen Sexton takes us on a journey through the past and the present, while Cheryl translates from the future, showing us how we exist in all three at once. Reckoning with both public and private tragedies, the book is divided into three parts. In Part One, the poems range across old Europe: 'Edelweiss' and Titanic setting sail, to a transatlantic, cross-century symposium in Part Two, where two giants perfect their arts in collaboration. In Part Three we are back in the land where the past keeps breaking through, it's practically always the anniversary of something terrible, but there's always Cheryl in the moonlight and her deck of tarot cards. A thrillingly strange exploration of the comfort of the fantastical when the real is hard to bear, Cheryl's Destinies is the enchanting follow-up to the Forward Prize for Best First Collection-winning If All the World and Love Were Young, by one of the most exciting young poets writing today.
Download or read book Gonzo Girl written by Cheryl Della Pietra and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The road to hell is paved with good intentions…and tequila, guns, and cocaine in this “rambunctiously entertaining” (Teddy Wayne) debut novel inspired by the author’s time as Hunter S. Thompson’s assistant. Alley Russo is a recent college grad desperately trying to make it in the grueling world of New York publishing, but like so many who have come before her, she has no connections and has settled for an unpaid magazine internship while slinging drinks on Bleecker Street just to make ends meet. That’s when she hears the infamous Walker Reade is looking for an assistant to replace the eight others who have recently quit. Hungry for a chance to get her manuscript onto the desk of an experienced editor, Alley jumps at the opportunity to help Reade finish his latest novel. After surviving an absurd three-day “trial period” involving a .44 magnum, purple-pyramid acid, violent verbal outbursts, brushes with fame and the law, a bevy of peacocks, and a whole lot of cocaine, Alley is invited to stay at the compound where Reade works. For months Alley attempts to coax the novel out of Walker page-by-page, all while battling his endless procrastination, vampiric schedule, Herculean substance abuse, mounting debt, and casual gunplay. But as the job begins to take a toll on her psyche, Alley realizes she’s alone in the Colorado Rockies at the mercy of a drug-addicted literary icon who may never produce another novel—and her fate may already be sealed. “A margarita-fueled, miniskirt-clad cautionary tale of lost literary innocence” (Vogue), Gonzo Girl is a loving fictional portrait of a larger-than-life literary icon.

Download or read book The Soul s Destiny written by Thelma Jane and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2022-03-25 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Soul’s Destiny: Discoveries of an Ordinary Christian combines sound biblical research with spiritual autobiography in order to unveil God’s living laws of love—for a prosperous life, here on earth, and for the soul in eternity. In her lively style, Thelma Jane shares the principles of faith and prayer by which she manifested a successful and happy life. These principles will help you to do the same. By careful theological reasoning, supported by a wealth of scriptures, Thelma Jane goes on to discuss theological issues, including: methods of biblical interpretation, the plan of the fall and redemption (from Adam to Christ), and revelations concerning God’s justice and mercy. The book offers a bold and convincing hypothesis, concerning the soul’s destiny. The hypothesis transcends the usual division between “conservative” and “liberal” doctrine. As an evangelical, Thelma Jane believes that a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is the center and goal of our life of faith. So that all may come to Christ, God’s plan of salvation may include the possibility of reincarnation. Furthermore, salvation may involve not just the individual but also the collective, not just the person but also soul groups (e.g. families). The Soul’s Destiny: Discoveries of an Ordinary Christian is far-ranging, intellectually stimulating, personally engaging, warm, inspiring, and uplifting. Thelma Jane gives hope for all who fervently seek to know God through Jesus Christ. Anyone curious about God's laws of love and the soul's destiny will benefit from this book.

Download or read book The Other Wes Moore written by Wes Moore and published by One World. This book was released on 2011-01-11 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the governor of Maryland, the “compassionate” (People), “startling” (Baltimore Sun), “moving” (Chicago Tribune) true story of two kids with the same name: One went on to be a Rhodes Scholar, decorated combat veteran, White House Fellow, and business leader. The other is serving a life sentence in prison. The chilling truth is that his story could have been mine. The tragedy is that my story could have been his. In December 2000, the Baltimore Sun ran a small piece about Wes Moore, a local student who had just received a Rhodes Scholarship. The same paper also ran a series of articles about four young men who had allegedly killed a police officer in a spectacularly botched armed robbery. The police were still hunting for two of the suspects who had gone on the lam, a pair of brothers. One was named Wes Moore. Wes just couldn’t shake off the unsettling coincidence, or the inkling that the two shared much more than space in the same newspaper. After following the story of the robbery, the manhunt, and the trial to its conclusion, he wrote a letter to the other Wes, now a convicted murderer serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole. His letter tentatively asked the questions that had been haunting him: Who are you? How did this happen? That letter led to a correspondence and relationship that have lasted for several years. Over dozens of letters and prison visits, Wes discovered that the other Wes had had a life not unlike his own: Both had had difficult childhoods, both were fatherless; they’d hung out on similar corners with similar crews, and both had run into trouble with the police. At each stage of their young lives they had come across similar moments of decision, yet their choices would lead them to astonishingly different destinies. Told in alternating dramatic narratives that take readers from heart-wrenching losses to moments of surprising redemption, The Other Wes Moore tells the story of a generation of boys trying to find their way in a hostile world.

Her will to live began to hang by a thread, and as a Christian, Lydia had to choose between her marriage or her life. For her, home became a battlefield and her mind became a monster. She was left battered...was the Bible her only way out?
