Book excerpt: Black Harvard Doctorate in Poetics launches poetry that explores modern blackness. Clint Smith's debut poetry collection, Counting Descent, is a coming of age story that seeks to complicate our conception of lineage and tradition. Smith explores the cognitive dissonance that results from belonging to a community that unapologetically celebrates black humanity while living in a world that often renders blackness a caricature of fear. His poems move fluidly across personal and political histories, all the while reflecting on the social construction of our lived experiences. Smith brings the reader on a powerful journey forcing us to reflect on all that we learn growing up, and all that we seek to unlearn moving forward. - Winner, 2017 Black Caucus of the American Library Association Literary Award - Finalist, 2017 NAACP Image Awards - 2017 'One Book One New Orleans' Book Selection

Download or read book There Are No Dead Here written by Maria McFarland Sánchez-Moreno and published by Bold Type Books. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bloody story of the rise of paramilitaries in Colombia, told through three characters--a fearless activist, a dogged journalist, and a relentless investigator--whose lives intersected in the midst of unspeakable terror. Colombia's drug-fueled cycle of terror, corruption, and tragedy did not end with Pablo Escobar's death in 1993. Just when Colombians were ready to move past the murderous legacy of the country's cartels, a new, bloody chapter unfolded. In the late 1990s, right-wing paramilitary groups with close ties to the cocaine business carried out a violent expansion campaign, massacring, raping, and torturing thousands. There Are No Dead Here is the harrowing story of three ordinary Colombians who risked everything to reveal the collusion between the new mafia and much of the country's military and political establishment: Jesús María Valle, a human rights activist who was murdered for exposing a dark secret; Iván Velásquez, a quiet prosecutor who took up Valle's cause and became an unlikely hero; and Ricardo Calderón, a dogged journalist who is still being targeted for his revelations. Their groundbreaking investigations landed a third of the country's Congress in prison and fed new demands for justice and peace that Colombia's leaders could not ignore. Taking readers from the sweltering Medellín streets where criminal investigators were hunted by assassins, through the countryside where paramilitaries wiped out entire towns, and into the corridors of the presidential palace in Bogotá, There Are No Dead Here is an unforgettable portrait of the valiant men and women who dared to stand up to the tide of greed, rage, and bloodlust that threatened to engulf their country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The English-language debut of one of the most thrilling and accomplished young Mexican writers Winner of the Queen Sofía Spanish Institute's Tanslation Prize Longlisted for the National Book Award Shortlisted for the Booker Prize Winner of the Internationaler Literaturpreis New York Public Library Best Books of 2020 Chicago Public Library Best Book of 2020 The Witch is dead. And the discovery of her corpse has the whole village investigating the murder. As the novel unfolds in a dazzling linguistic torrent, with each unreliable narrator lingering on new details, new acts of depravity or brutality, Melchor extracts some tiny shred of humanity from these characters—inners whom most people would write off as irredeemable—forming a lasting portrait of a damned Mexican village. Like Roberto Bolano’s 2666 or Faulkner’s novels, Hurricane Season takes place in a world saturated with mythology and violence—real violence, the kind that seeps into the soil, poisoning everything around: it’s a world that becomes more and more terrifying the deeper you explore it.
Download or read book Isaac s Storm written by Erik Larson and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2000-07-11 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of The Devil in the White City, here is the true story of the deadliest hurricane in history. National Bestseller September 8, 1900, began innocently in the seaside town of Galveston, Texas. Even Isaac Cline, resident meteorologist for the U.S. Weather Bureau failed to grasp the true meaning of the strange deep-sea swells and peculiar winds that greeted the city that morning. Mere hours later, Galveston found itself submerged in a monster hurricane that completely destroyed the town and killed over six thousand people in what remains the greatest natural disaster in American history--and Isaac Cline found himself the victim of a devastating personal tragedy. Using Cline's own telegrams, letters, and reports, the testimony of scores of survivors, and our latest understanding of the science of hurricanes, Erik Larson builds a chronicle of one man's heroic struggle and fatal miscalculation in the face of a storm of unimaginable magnitude. Riveting, powerful, and unbearably suspenseful, Isaac's Storm is the story of what can happen when human arrogance meets the great uncontrollable force of nature.

It's a big dark world but you will eventually become your own light. These writings may come to some as a simple book of poetry, yet for others, a book about Pain and Love. When Jam was born on Thursday 12th December, 2002 at 10:15 p.m in the Private Ward at - e Princess Margaret Hospital in Nassau, The Bahamas, many frowns were turned upside down as everyone could already see the beautiful and unique young lady that she was destined to be. At the ripe age of six she wrote her first piece of poetry inspired by the night sky and its's serenity and was encouraged by her two friends Damian and Lolita. From there, her work spiraled out of control and she loved every second of it. She would write poems for teachers and friends and sometimes even family members. While some saw it as a nothing more than a child simply writing words on paper others saw it as a window for opportunity, others saw potential. As she grew up, there were many persons that labelled her as strange or just flat out weird however, she never let it bother her but instead used it as fuel for her burning desire to show them different. Despite the many wars she battled in her personal life and the many wars that were being fought around her, she remained strong, she remained a conqueror. As poetry became her passion, she encountered many obstacles. Despite the fact that there were persons who she looked up to that did not express the joy in her writings or even the willingness to listen, she pursued her dream. At the age of fifteen her poetry took on a deeper undertone as she lost two of her best friends to suicide. Poetry became her only escape from the harsh reality of it all, and it was from her personal experiences that her poetry obtained their sincerity, realness and beauty. - e very first poem that was written for this book, was written in the year 2015 in her bedroom. It was then when she decided that she wanted to write a book. Hopefully these writings would serve as an inspiration to the many that may read them and even to those that they may be read to and help them to find their way in the midst of their own storms to that place inside that always brings to them peace. When asked "Why did you name your book Storm in the Silence?" she replied softly "Because there are many persons that are suffering silently. You can only see what they want you to see, and when you leave there are endless tears and sleepless nights I want those persons to know that they are not alone, because no one deserves to feel as if they are alone. While there are many books that try to encourage persons that suffer silently, there are but few that speak of it while standing in the shoes." With this in mind, there is so much that can be said about Jam that this book, nor any other would have the ability to contain the words, but for now, she is, unique and special. And it is without a doubt that this will not be the last that is seen from her.
