Book Description
In Blue Lash, James Armstrong explores the way a physical place can be alchemically transformed into mental geographies. The world of Lake Superior comes alive and expands outward in these poems: cicadas "grind their teeth/under the blue roof of August"; a quartz pebble becomes "little knuckle/petrified egg/white as a wave-cap"; a Jet Ski "revs past the dock/like a demon out of Milton." Stripping away the layer of sentimentality that often cloaks the lake, Armstrong portrays it instead as a rebuke to human arrogance, and a reminder of the sublime indifference of wild places.

Lash, Come Back!
Author: Rusty Mongrel
Publisher: Hans Bauer
ISBN:
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 158
Book Description
Author Rusty Mongrel offers us his charming, action packed debut novel in which a boy wishes for an all-powerful superhero to rescue his family from ruin, but instead gets a superhero from the 1940s – a whip-wielding, pistol-packing, singing cowboy and his sidekicks out of touch with the changes of the last seventy years. Ride along with Lash Larson as he goes mano-a-mano against the ruffians, motorcycles gangs and an evil land baron of the 21st century. For young, older, and old alike. Dear Readers, there is only one known photo of the man claiming to be Rusty Mongrel, a blow up taken from one of our security cameras as he hurried into our publishing office late one evening at closing time. Unfortunately, that photo is far too murky to share with you here. But allow me to describe him. Dressed in dusty denim, a saddlebag slung over his shoulder, he resembled an extra from a western B-movie of the l950's. The sweat stained Stetson he wore had what looked to be a bullet hole through its crown. Before we could stop him, he moved quickly toward the desk of one of our secretaries. Politely removing his hat, he withdrew a manuscript from his saddlebag and tossed it onto her desk. Its title page read, 'Lash, Come Back!' She began explaining our proper submission procedures in minute detail, but her lengthy, rambling instructions not only confused, but actually seemed to terrify him. Panic-stricken, he bolted and dashed from our office, leaving his Stetson and manuscript behind. We hurried outside in time to watch him leap onto a saddled horse tied to a parking meter. As the horse reared up dramatically, he hollered “Yahooo” (or was it “Yippeee” - witness accounts vary) and then raced the wrong way up a one-way street, deftly dodging oncoming traffic as he disappeared into the night. And that's all we know about this man claiming to be Rusty Mongrel. We have no idea who he is or his whereabouts as all we have to go on is the young adult novel you hold in your hands, and the Stetson hat left in our office. Please accept our apology, as we are fully aware that this bio is lacking in every respect.

The Flames
Author: Olaf Stapledon
Publisher: DigiCat
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 72
Book Description
The Flames is a sci-fi tale by Olaf Stapledon. A "flame" in a burning stone tells of life on the sun and following exile when the planets were formed. Excerpt: "I asked the flame if his kind had a special organ of extra-sensory perception. "Yes," he answered. "The seat of all the most developed functions of the personality is the slender tip or lash, which appears to you green-blue." Again I interrupted. "What colour would it appear to you if you were looking at another of your kind?" The flame then bent his slender tip down so that it came within his own range of vision, which seemed to be centred in the dark collar; and I myself, seeing through his "eyes" saw the curved organ brilliantly coloured in a manner indescribable in our language, since we have no experience of it."
