Download or read book Larkspur Lane written by Nivedita Dey and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2022-01-18 with total page 565 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prufrock, in his love song, sees the mermaids ride seaward. What he does not see is the left behind broken seashore. Nivedita Dey, in her poems, tries to "fix with cello tape this vast broken seashore". There are wordplays, puns, enjambments and literary allusions in her poems, but what is paramount is the searing honest expression of poetry. Here she presents "human maps" in her “glass jarhead” before the “hourglass inverts to an all-encompassing end”. Read her before it is late. – Amit Shankar Saha, Poet, Assistant Professor at Seacom Skills University, Author of Balconies of Time, Fugitive Words, Illicit Poems. The mind’s a maze where our deepest thoughts often crouch; thoughts we hide even from ourselves. Nivedita’s poetry brings them out; rawest wounds are bared; the reader’s left out of breath. Then, her poems gently raise us from our hurting selves and show us the doorway to the universe of light and hope. Larkspur Lane is a collection that speaks in a voice that’s neither sympathizing nor judgmental. It doesn’t speak from a high pedestal. It’s a voice that we hear every day but don’t listen to really. It’s our very own inner voice, and it tells us we’re never alone. – Ananya Chatterjee, Poet, Translator, Software Professional at Oracle, Author of The Poet & His Valentine, a collection of verses, Another Soliloquy, The Blind Man’s Rainbow, Un-building Walls and other books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nancy and her friends need more than book smarts to get to the bottom of a literary mystery in this fourth book of the Nancy Drew Diaries, a new take on the classic series. A rash of crimes in a neighboring town—a blazing fire at a bookstore, a boat that sinks in the harbor, and a valuable dog’s dognapping—are eerily similar to the plots from famous mystery writer Lacey O’Brien’s popular books. So who’s behind the crimes? Could it be Lacey looking for publicity? One of Lacey’s superfans? Or maybe it’s Paige Samuels, owner of the bookstore that burned. Nancy, Bess, and George will have to read between the lines as they dig deep into a dangerous mystery.

Download or read book Gardening Can Be Murder written by Marta McDowell and published by Timber Press. This book was released on 2023-09-05 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fun, engrossing book takes a look at the surprising influence that gardens and gardening have had on mystery novels and their authors. With their deadly plants, razor-sharp shears, shady corners, and ready-made burial sites, gardens make an ideal scene for the perfect murder. But the outsize influence that gardens and gardening have had on the mystery genre has been underappreciated. Now, Marta McDowell, a writer and gardener with a near-encyclopedic knowledge of the genre, illuminates the many ways in which our greatest mystery writers, from Edgar Allen Poe to authors on today’s bestseller lists, have found inspiration in the sinister side of gardens. From the cozy to the hardboiled, the literary to the pulp, and the classic to the contemporary, Gardening Can Be Murder is the first book to explore the mystery genre’s many surprising horticultural connections. Meet plant-obsessed detectives and spooky groundskeeper suspects, witness toxic teas served in foul play, and tour the gardens—both real and imagined—that have been the settings for fiction’s ghastliest misdeeds. A New York Times bestselling author herself, McDowell also introduces us to some of today’s top writers who consider gardening integral to their craft, assuring that horticultural themes will remain a staple of the genre for countless twisting plots to come. “This book is dangerous. A veritable cornucopia of crime fiction and gardening lore, it faces the reader with multiple temptations—books to seek out, plants to obtain, garden tours to book.” —Vicki Lane, author of the Elizabeth Goodweather Appalachian Mysteries

Download or read book American Sweethearts written by Ilana Nash and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teenage girls seem to have been discovered by American pop culture in the 1930s. From that time until the present day, they have appeared in books and films, comics and television, as the embodied fantasies and nightmares of youth, women, and sexual maturation. Looking at such figures as Nancy Drew, Judy Graves, Corliss Archer, Gidget, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Britney Spears, American Sweethearts shows how popular culture has shaped our view of the adolescent girl as an individual who is simultaneously sexualized and infantilized. While young women have received some positive lessons from these cultural icons, the overwhelming message conveyed by the characters and stories they inhabit stresses the dominance of the father and the teenage girl's otherness, subordination, and ineptitude. As sweet as a cherry lollipop and as tangy as a Sweetart, this book is an entertaining yet thoughtful exploration of the image of the American girl.
