Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who is the predator, and who is the prey? Illuminating poetry and vivid artwork capture the awe-inspiring ways that creatures use their resources to stay alive. Who wins, the assassin bug or the spider? The bat or the frog? The ant or the honey bee? The male firefly . . . or the female? The battle for survival between predator and prey is sometimes a fight, sometimes a dance, and often involves spying, lying, or even telling the truth to get ahead. Biologist and debut author Susannah Buhrman-Deever explores these clashes in poems and prose explanations that offer both sides of the story. With beautiful, realistic illustrations that are charged with drama, Bert Kitchen captures the breathtaking moments when predator meets prey. Readers who hunger for more about the art of survival will find an extensive list of references in the back.
Download or read book At Home in the World written by Joyce Maynard and published by Picador. This book was released on 2010-04-01 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author of Labor Day With a New Preface When it was first published in 1998, At Home in the World set off a furor in the literary world and beyond. Joyce Maynard's memoir broke a silence concerning her relationship—at age eighteen—with J.D. Salinger, the famously reclusive author of The Catcher in the Rye, then age fifty-three, who had read a story she wrote for The New York Times in her freshman year of college and sent her a letter that changed her life. Reviewers called her book "shameless" and "powerful" and its author was simultaneously reviled and cheered. With what some have viewed as shocking honesty, Maynard explores her coming of age in an alcoholic family, her mother's dream to mold her into a writer, her self-imposed exile from the world of her peers when she left Yale to live with Salinger, and her struggle to reclaim her sense of self in the crushing aftermath of his dismissal of her not long after her nineteenth birthday. A quarter of a century later—having become a writer, survived the end of her marriage and the deaths of her parents, and with an eighteen-year-old daughter of her own—Maynard pays a visit to the man who broke her heart. The story she tells—of the girl she was and the woman she became—is at once devastating, inspiring, and triumphant.

Book excerpt: A new collection from an audacious, humorous poet celebrated for his "sky-blue originality of utterance" (Dwight Garner, The New York Times) Michael Robbins's first two books of poetry were raucous protests lodged from the frontage roads and big-box stores of off-ramp America. With Walkman, he turns a corner. These new poems confront self-pity and nostalgia in witty-miserable defiance of our political and ecological moment. It's the end of the world, and Robbins has listened to all the tapes in his backpack. So he's making music from whatever junk he finds lying around.

Download or read book A Need to Feed written by Laura Salas and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-12-08 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What does this poem mean?" "How should I read it?" "How do we talk about it?" "What do I DO with it?" "What's the best way to assess it?" "How do I meet standards?" "When can I possibly fit it into my already over-packed day?" Have you ever asked these questions about poetry? The 30 Painless Classroom Poems series makes it easy for you, the elementary school teacher, media specialist, or reading specialist, to share poetry with your students. Whether you already love poetry or you fear or even actively dislike it, these books are for you. The poems, Notes from the Poet, extension activities written by experienced classroom teachers, and tips for using poetry in your classroom will have you sharing poems in no time. In A Need to Feed, award-winning poet Laura Purdie Salas (author of BookSpeak!, Water Can Be..., and more) shares 30 poems in which predators stalk, pounce, trick, lure, and attack their prey. These rhyming poems, mostly from the predators' point of view, show how animals' bodies and hunting styles are adapted to their ecosystem and their prey. The final word in each poem is the prey animal, so you can also use these as riddle poems, letting students employ close reading and additional research to find clues and figure out the prey animal. Extension activities by Karen Ganon share ideas for springboarding from these poems into deeper learning across many content areas. Sample: Great Horned Owl: Cravings Stink In midnight's black velvet I silently glide My golden moon eyes Expose each place you hide I tear with my beak My claws neatly slice- Well, that's enough detail. (This story's not nice!) Last year, all my friends said My taste in food stunk But the fast food I crave is Still smelly old... SKUNK! Note: The Great Horned Owl is the only animal who really loves to eat skunk. They also enjoy fox and porcupine! The Great Horned Owl's excellent night vision allows it to hunt at night. Note from the Poet: Owls are so gorgeous and mysterious, and I really wanted to start the poem by focusing on that. I thought it would be a nice contrast to the slicing and dicing that comes later. In lines 1 and 3, I used phrases like "black velvet" and "golden moon" to make you picture a beautiful night. See all of the 30 Painless Classroom Poems at www.30PainlessClassroomPoems.com.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shakespeare and the Poet's Life explores a central biographical question: why did Shakespeare choose to cease writing sonnets and court-focused long poems like The Rape of Lucrece and Venus and Adonis and continue writing plays?
