Book excerpt: Offering a series of poems rooted in the profoundly narrative yet disorienting experience of losing a loved one, Prageeta Sharma, in Grief Sequence, summons all of her resources in order to attempt any semblance, poetic or otherwise, of clear sense in trauma.

Book excerpt: “Anne Argula brings a welcome voice to the noir novel with Quinn, who is earthy, gritty, but above all, a mature woman. We don't have enough of those." —Sara Paretsky, author of Fire Sale Quinn, a newly divorced ex-cop, retains custody of her wild hot flashes, her twisted tongue, her fey sense of humor, and her propensity for trouble. Now trying to get a foothold as a P.I. in a new city, Quinn takes what she thinks will be a safe job with Vincent Ainge, to whom she is oddly attracted. Vincent, who has his own demons, is the only mitigation investigator in the Northwest working to save the lives of convicted killers from ending at the gallows in Walla Walla state prison. When a young secretary named Eileen vanishes, the woman's boss hires Quinn to track her down. What looks like a missing-person case turns out to be anything but, sucking into its wake Vincent, his demented father, Eileen's barely legitimate boss, her sexually vulnerable mother, a serial rapist and possible serial killer, and, of course, Quinn herself. Quinn's improvised investigation takes her to the dangerous dark corners of the human psyche and casts suspicion where she least expects it, which will ignite a burst of violence and a resolution that readers won't see coming. "A gritty, intriguing crime novel with a distinctively aggressive heroine."—Lansing State Journal "Hard-boiled, fast-talking Quinn [is] an impressively well-rounded and modern heroine."—Publishers Weekly "A terrific, suspenseful tale of murder, driven by interesting and quirky characters, leavened by edgy self-deprecating humor, and resolved by a surprising twist."—Joseph Wambaugh, author of Hollywood Station "A wonderful novel—smart, funny, and remarkably humane."—James Crumley, author of The Right Madness "Anne Argula's menopausal detective will give mystery fans multiple hot flashes of horror, humor, and surprise."—Tom Robbins, author of Villa Incognito

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At once a lament-psalm and a love song, Grief's Liturgy records Gerald Postema's work and worship of grief upon the loss of his wife, a year's work aided by the companions--poetry and prayers, icons and images, music and silence--that sat patiently with him. Structured around the liturgy of the Divine Office, reflections in each "hour" take on a distinctive expressive and emotional tone and fall into a jagged, broken rhythm over the course of each "day" yielding ultimately an understanding of the life-affirming necessity of grief.

Book excerpt: After a homeless runaway is found dead in an alley, the case lands in the laps of detective sergeant Liz Jordan and rookie officer Kyle Connors. It is not long before Jordan and Connors realize that it is futile to follow the usual investigative avenues. They must seek help, not just from those providing services to the homeless, but from the homeless themselves. Unfortunately it is not easy to engage the street community in the pursuit of a killer. While searching for anyone who knew the young woman and information on her background, Jordan and Connors must find a way to contact invisible people who lack addresses and phone numbers. Mike Dwyer, Jordans long-time friend and shelter manager, and Kelly Blevins, an outreach worker, provide introductions into a culture that is wary of the establishment. While delving into the world of the most vulnerable, Jordan uncovers a web of deceit and exploitation while relying on the homeless for insight. But even with their help, will Jordan and Connors solve this crime in time to save another victim? Set in the Pacific Northwest, this tale offers a chilling view of the dangerous and unpredictable world of the homeless.

Download or read book Planet Claire Suite for Cello and Sad Eyed Lovers written by Jeff Porter and published by Akashic Books. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second installment in Ann Hood’s Gracie Belle imprint challenges the traditional solemnity that characterizes nonfiction books of grief, loss, and sorrow. “Few readers will fail to be gripped by this tragically common story about death and what comes after for those left behind . . . A haunting and thought-provoking consideration of death and ‘how utterly it rips apart our lives.'” —Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review Planet Claire is the story of the untimely death of the author’s wife and his candid account of the following year of madness and grief. As his life unravels, Porter analyzes his sadness with growing interest. He talks to Claire as if to evoke a presence, to mark a space for memory. He reports on his daily walks and shares observations of life’s sadness, while reminiscing about various moments in their life together. Like Orpheus, the author searches for a lost love, and what he finds is not the dog of doom but flashes of an intimate symmetry that brighten the darkest places of sorrow. The second title from Ann Hood’s Gracie Belle imprint, Planet Claire takes readers on a journey of sorrow that recalls memorable works by C.S. Lewis (A Grief Observed), Joan Didion (The Year of Magical Thinking), and Julian Barnes (Levels of Life). Porter’s memoir, however, is also playful, quirky, and self-ironic in a way that challenges the genre’s traditional solemnity. Like the novel Grief Is the Thing with Feathers by Max Porter, this is an unpredictably funny account of heartbreak, as if to say there’s something about the magnitude of loss that troubles even earnestness.
Download or read book New Orleans Suite written by Lewis Watts and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2013-02-07 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With New Orleans Suite, Eric Porter and Lewis Watts join the post-Katrina conversation about New Orleans and its changing cultural scene. Using both visual evidence and the written word, Watts and Porter pay homage to the city, its region, and its residents, by mapping recent and often contradictory social and cultural transformations, and seeking to counter inadequate and often pejorative accounts of the people and place that give New Orleans its soul. Focusing for the most part on the city’s African American community, New Orleans Suite is a story about people: how bad things have happened to them in the long and short run, how they have persevered by drawing upon and transforming their cultural practices, and what they can teach us about citizenship, politics, and society.
