Download or read book Anything That Burns You written by Terese Svoboda and published by IPG. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 684 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first full-length biography of Lola Ridge, a trailblazer for women, poetry, and human rights far ahead of her time This rich and detailed account of the life and world of Lola Ridge, poet, artist, editor, and activist for the cause of women's rights, workers' rights, racial equality and social reform. From her childhood as a newly arrived Irish immigrant in the grim mining towns of New Zealand to her years as a budding poet and artist in Sydney, Australia, to her migration to America and the cities of San Francisco, Chicago, and New York. At one time considered one of the most popular poets of her day, she later fell out of critical favor due to her realistic and impassioned verse that looked head on at the major social woes of society. Moreover, her work and appearances alongside the likes of Margaret Sanger, Emma Goldman, Will Durant, and other socialists and radicals put her in the line of fire not only of the police and government, but also the literary pundits who criticized her activism as being excessive and melodramatic. This lively portrait gives a veritable who's who of all the key players in the arts, literature, and radical politics of the time, in which Lola Ridge stood front and center.

He gets what he came for, and then some… When the diva ends up pregnant with his baby. LOLA I thought outlaw bikers were supposed to be tall, dark, tatted—and dumb as rocks. But Bishop Blaine is only three for four. And unfortunately for my sake, he's managed to outsmart every member of my security team to get to me. It's true: he's got his own selfish motives in mind. Like laying his sinful, inked hands over every inch of my body. But it turns out Bishop got to me just in time. First, we're ducking a spray of bullets. Then, next thing I know, he has me out back behind the bar… Pinned to the wall beneath him, as he lets far more than his eyes travel my forbidden figure. BISHOP Lola is famous. Off-limits. Totally uninterested in a rebel biker like me. Until I make things interesting for her. Granted, I've had help. Someone's out to kill her, and I smell a rat in her inner circle. She can't trust those who are already closest to her, so I plan on making myself as close as possible. I'm gonna run my filthy hands along those lush curves until I make the little pop starlet shiver and beg for more. But I should've known it would all lead to trouble. As I discover, it isn't just a killer we have on our plate. Because Lola turns up pregnant – and she swears the baby is mine. This was never supposed to happen. I'm an outlaw with a motorcycle club to run, not a whipped baby daddy to a famous actress. Until, all of the sudden, that's exactly what I am. But we're from two different worlds. She walks red carpets and wears expensive gowns. I ride choppers and keep my club kutte on my shoulders at all times. Having a baby together is sheer madness. But despite all that… There's something in my gut that says I have to protect these delicate creatures now – my woman and my baby. I'm going to catch this falling star and make her mine. And if the man hunting her thinks he's gonna lay a finger on my family... He'd better be ready for war.

I look at him and say My momma always told me that git is for dogs, and I am know that I am no dog. I am due the same respect that you give to any lady!... He leaves from behind the counter and comes around the front toward me and my three children.

I start to leave and he turns around to go back behind the counter and stumbles over a box in his path. He trips over the box and goes flying face forward and all I could think of is, "Da git for ya!"
