Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For my unique and rare style of writing poetry, I received an "Editor's Choice Award" from the International Library of Poetry. What's more amazing is how my poetry writing came about and it is not just on one subject, but many. In order to find out, you will have to take a deeper look into the book and read a little about my life. There is poetry on: Inspirational, Animal's, Bird's, Insects, Nature, Patriotism and more. Some are about depression, that I thought of leaving it out at one time. But decided to include this part because it does happen in real life. People I have met on-line have given me several compliments about my writings. Some say I should make a "Children's Book" with some of the poems. One Mother said she read "Busy, Busy Bees" to her daughter, and she started singing it around the house.

Book excerpt: Sharon's Verses will make you aware of your life. By reading my poems you will learn to believe in yourself and your own abilities. God is explored on a spiritual and emotional level. You can learn what God is and what he can do for you in your struggles and hardships. Love is explored as a dream or realistic sensation, which can mean "grown as a flower" or it "fills up the deep blue sea." You can learn about love in my poems in a special way. Dreaming about love can be looked at in relationships. It can mean missing a girl or having a long-lost love. Love and friendship go hand in hand, like in my poem "Rich Friend." Friends are forever, and so is love when it is real. Nature is looked at in a beautiful fashion, such as blossoms, doves, or turtles' eggs. The beach is where someone wants to be reunited with their remembered love. Nature is a wonderful part of life, and the poem "Wonderful Things Should Last" expresses this beauty. My book will enrich your life as it does mine. Please read it and remember where you are going in this world. It can be sailing, church, or to a barbecue with friends. My poems will cover these topics and more. Enjoy!

Download or read book One Secret Thing written by Sharon Olds and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2008-09-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sharon Olds completes her cycle of family poems in a book at once intense and harmonic, playful with language, and rich with a new self-awareness and sense of irony. The opening poem, with its sequence of fearsome images of war, serves as a prelude to poems of home in which humor, anger, and compassion sing together with lyric energy—sometimes comic, sometimes filled with a kind of unblinking forgiveness. These songs of joy and danger—public and private—illuminate one another. As the book unfolds, the portrait of the mother goes through a moving revisioning, leading us to a final series of elegies of hard-won mourning. One Secret Thing is charged throughout with Sharon Olds’s characteristic passion, imagination, and poetic power. The doctor on the phone was young, maybe on his first rotation in the emergency room. On the ancient boarding-school radio, in the attic hall, the announcer had given my boyfriend’s name as one of two brought to the hospital after the sunrise service, the egg-hunt, the crash—one of them critical, one of them dead. I was looking at the stairwell banisters, at their lathing, the necks and knobs like joints and bones, the varnish here thicker here thinner—I had said Which one of them died, and now the world was an ant’s world: the huge crumb of each second thrown, somehow, up onto my back, and the young, tired voice said my fresh love’s name. from “Easter 1960”

Download or read book Sometimes I Trip on How Happy We Could Be written by Nichole Perkins and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-17 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A passionate, magnetic memoir that explores writer and podcast host Nichole Perkins's obsession with pop culture and the challenges of navigating relationships as a Black woman through feminism and Southern mores. Pop culture is the Pandora's Box of our lives. Racism, wealth, poverty, beauty, inclusion, exclusion, and hope -- all of these intractable and unavoidable features course through the media we consume. Examining pop culture's impact on her life, Nichole Perkins takes readers on a rollicking trip through the last twenty years of music, media and the internet from the perspective of one southern Black woman. She explores her experience with mental illness and how the TV series Frasier served as a crutch, how her role as mistress led her to certain internet message boards that prepared her for current day social media, and what it means to figure out desire and sexuality and Prince in a world where marriage is the only acceptable goal for women. Combining her sharp wit, stellar pop culture sensibility, and trademark spirited storytelling, Nichole boldly tackles the damage done to women, especially Black women, by society's failure to confront the myths and misogyny at its heart, and her efforts to stop the various cycles that limit confidence within herself. By using her own life and loves as a unique vantage point, Nichole humorously and powerfully illuminates how to take the best pop culture has to offer and discard the harmful bits, offering a mirror into our own lives.

Book excerpt: “A story of surviving and thriving with passion, compassion, wit, and style.”—Maya Angelou “In America, we have a tradition of black writers whose autobiographies and memoirs come to define an era. . . . Buck may be this generation’s story.”—NPR A coming-of-age story about navigating the wilds of urban America and the shrapnel of a self-destructing family, Buck shares the story of a generation through one original and riveting voice. MK Asante was born in Zimbabwe to American parents: his mother a dancer, his father a revered professor. But as a teenager, MK was alone on the streets of North Philadelphia, swept up in a world of drugs, sex, and violence. MK’s memoir is an unforgettable tale of how one precocious, confused kid educated himself through gangs, rap, mystic cults, ghetto philosophy, and, eventually, books. It is an inspiring tribute to the power of literature to heal and redeem us.

Download or read book Dressage in the Fourth Dimension written by Sherry Ackerman and published by New World Library. This book was released on 2010-09-07 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dressage is often seen as the most formal and controlled of the equine sports, following an ancient, standardized training progression. For philosopher and dressage instructor Dr. Sherry Ackerman, dressage is much more. It — along with riding in general — can be a transformational art and an avenue for reflection, exploration, and self-knowledge through which a rider can experience liberation from the individual, egoistic self. This second, revised edition of Dressage in the Fourth Dimension is a pioneer work in awakening “dressage consciousness.” Drawing on such diverse sources as sacred geometry, ancient Western and Eastern philosophies, and esoteric spirituality, Ackerman seeks to heal humanity’s alienation from nature through riding. She points us toward the liberation from societal conditioning and normative thinking, and, ultimately, from our own egos. Her concept of the fourth dimension requires us to leave the analytic, objective mind behind and enter into the mystery of inspiration. A short, unique, thought-provoking work that has enjoyed a word-of-mouth reputation among horse people for years, Dressage in the Fourth Dimension will challenge riders’ assumptions about their horses and themselves.
Download or read book Eminem and Rap Poetry Race written by Scott F. Parker and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-10-29 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eminem is the best-selling musical artist of the 21st century. He is also one of the most contentious and most complex artists of our time. His verbal dexterity ranks him among the greatest technical rappers ever. The content of his songs combines the grotesque and the comical with the sincere and the profound, all told through the sophisticated layering of multiple personae. However one finally assesses his contribution to popular culture, there's no denying his central place in it. This collection of essays gives his work the critical attention it has long deserved. Drawing from history, philosophy, sociology, musicology, and other fields, the writers gathered here consider Eminem's place in Hip Hop, the intellectual underpinnings of his work, and the roles of race, gender and privilege in his career, among various other topics. This original treatment will be appreciated by Eminem fans and cultural scholars alike.
