Running the River
Author: Wes Ferguson
Publisher: Texas A&M University Press
ISBN: 1623491274
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
Growing up near the Sabine, journalist Wes Ferguson, like most East Texans, steered clear of its murky, debris-filled waters, where alligators lived in the backwater sloughs and an occasional body was pulled from some out-of-the-way crossing. The Sabine held a reputation as a haunt for a handful of hunters and loggers, more than a few water moccasins, swarms of mosquitoes, and the occasional black bear lumbering through swamp oak and cypress knees. But when Ferguson set out to do a series of newspaper stories on the upper portion of the river, he and photographer Jacob Croft Botter were entranced by the river’s subtle beauty and the solitude they found there. They came to admire the self-described “river rats” who hunted, fished, and swapped stories along the muddy water—plain folk who love the Sabine as much as Hill Country vacationers love the clear waters of the Guadalupe. Determined to travel the rest of the river, Ferguson and Botter loaded their gear and launched into the stretch of river that charts the line between the states and ends at the Gulf of Mexico.

Punktuation
Author: Teri-Louise Kelly
Publisher: Wider Screenings TM
ISBN: 098708240X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 99
Book Description
Reaching out across the bleached white veldt to infect the flickering screen with a moment of insanity, Teri Louise Kelly's short story/poetry anthology 'Punktuation' is a literary oil slick drifting slowly toward the burning shore.Having already deconstructed her "art form" with a veritable glossary of bastardisations, incestuous syntax and gob-spitting grammar, the erstwhile Ms Kelly continually has her execution stayed. There is no way of telling fact from fiction, poetry from toilet door graffiti, she claims, and in 'Punktuation' she drifts (seemingly aimlessly) from subject matter to subject matter as casually as a rent boy wandering Piccadilly Circus looking for a buyer. There are many reasons why generations to come will admire and appreciate her decadent candour, today however she still has rent to pay, demons to slay and dependency issues to address. She is, much like her hero Brendan Behan, a drinker with writing problems.Those problems become obvious to even the most deranged reader the moment he, she or it, decides they feel lucky and steps into 'Punktuation' class with Fraulein Kelly. So, are you feeling lucky punk?

Ain't No Sense Worryin'
Author: Mickey Rivers
Publisher: Sports Pub
ISBN: 9781582617206
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 165
Book Description
"We'll do all right if we can capitalize on our mistakes." A famous Yogiism? Possibly Stengelese? Guess again -- it's Gozzlespeak, straight from the mouth of Mick the Quick himself. Mickey Rivers is one of baseball's all-time great characters and a lovable legendary New York Yankee. He was an All-Star and a two-time world champion during the wild days of the "Bronx Zoo" Yankees. Now, for the first time, the man who once told teammate Reggie Jackson that he should "stop readin' and writin' and start hittin'" has himself put pen to paper. In Ain't No Sense Worryin', "Mick the Quick" takes you back to a time when the world champion Yankees were wild, free agency was young, and his goals in the game were to "hit .300, score 100 runs, and stay injury-prone." Like his old coach Yogi Berra, Mick speaks a language all his own, and his streetwise stories ring true with love, humor, and genuine affection for the game he played and the friends he made. From the devoted grandmother who inspired him to make it in baseball, through his glory days on the diamonds of California, New York and Texas, to his increasingly legendary stints as elder statesman and current spring training instructor for the Yankees, Mick the Quick has a collection of quotations, stories, and memories that will have you cracking up and possibly scratching your head in confusion. So sit back, stop worryin', and relive a time when "Me, George, and Billy were two of a kind." Book jacket.
