Download or read book All Heathens written by Marianne Chan and published by Sarabande Books. This book was released on 2022-04-01 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All Heathens is a declaration of ownership—of bodies, of histories, of time. Revisiting Magellan’s voyage around the world, these poems explore the speaker’s Filipino American identity by grappling with her relationship to her family and notions of diaspora, circumnavigation, and discovery. Whether rewriting the origin story of Eve (“I always imagined that the serpent had the legs of a seductive woman in black nylons”), or ruminating on what-should-have-been-said “when the man at the party said he wanted to own a Filipino,” Chan paints wry, witty renderings of anecdotal and folkloric histories, while both preserving and unveiling a self-identity that dares any other to try and claim it.

She also challenges gardeners to think beyond their garden borders and to consider the ways gardening can enrich the world.

She gives abundantly. (Linda Caldwell Lee, author of Mystics, Me and Moby: A Spiritual Road Trip and What Happiness Required).

Download or read book Red Peonies written by Zhang Yihe and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2017-02-28 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Red Peonies: Two Novellas of China is the first translation in English of two of the books written by Zhang Yihe about women she met and befriended in prison. The subjects of her stories have been described as “beautiful women who wielded magic power over men. They were like jealous evil spirits, vengeful treacherous persons—countless snakes coiled around other people.” Zhang Yihe was fifteen in 1957, the year her father was declared an enemy of the People’s Republic of China. Denounced as the nation’s Number One Rightist, he was persecuted by Chairman Mao. Zhang herself was arrested at age twenty-eight and sentenced to twenty-one years in a remote labor prison. While in the women’s prison, she came to know the other inmates, most of whom were from farms and lacked education. In 2011, at age seventy, she began to write and publish her fictionalized accounts of some of the women. The novellas were quickly censored in China, but have become widely popular in pirated, unexpurgated editions in the PRC, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Zhang Yihe is now an outspoken advocate of free expression. Red Peonies contains the first two novellas in Zhang’s projected series of ten. Never before translated into English, the works are powerfully written, tender, and sorrowful. They bring to life the stories of Chinese women caught in the turmoil of the Cultural Revolution. This volume includes the work of Xing Danwen, an internationally known artist based in Beijing.

Her magnetism lights him up after weeks of darkness. He refuses to say goodbye until he steals one heated kiss from her. A surprise twist of fate drops them into deep water, but the fire between them never burns out. What they thought would be a week of carefree distractions blossoms into something their hearts didn’t bargain for. **This can be read as a standalone but it's strongly recommended to read the books in order to get to know the dynamic group of friends and family in each one.
