Book Description
Poetry. With range, craft, and a dreadful curiosity about how human beings work, Richard Hoffman gives us GOLD STAR ROAD. Gold Star-an apt title for this collection, my hands-down favorite for the Barrow Street Prize 2006. Hoffman's poems tap into moments when civilization dissolves, not superficially, but at its emotional roots. Simply reading this book becomes an engaged, passionate experience. Time and again through the poet's weary irony comes the bite of life. -Molly Peacock. Richard Hoffman is the author of Half the House: A Memoir, and the poetry collection WITHOUT PARADISE. He is a Writer-in-Residence at Emerson College, and on faculty at the Stonecoast MFA Program, University of Southern Maine.

Flowers in the Gutter
Author: K. R. Gaddy
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0525555412
Category : Young Adult Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
The true story of the Edelweiss Pirates, working-class teenagers who fought the Nazis by whatever means they could. Fritz, Gertrud, and Jean were classic outsiders: their clothes were different, their music was rebellious, and they weren’t afraid to fight. But they were also Germans living under Hitler, and any nonconformity could get them arrested or worse. As children in 1933, they saw their world change. Their earliest memories were of the Nazi rise to power and of their parents fighting Brownshirts in the streets, being sent to prison, or just disappearing. As Hitler’s grip tightened, these three found themselves trapped in a nation whose government contradicted everything they believed in. And by the time they were teenagers, the Nazis expected them to be part of the war machine. Fritz, Gertrud, and Jean and hundreds like them said no. They grew bolder, painting anti-Nazi graffiti, distributing anti-war leaflets, and helping those persecuted by the Nazis. Their actions were always dangerous. The Gestapo pursued and arrested hundreds of Edelweiss Pirates. In World War II’s desperate final year, some Pirates joined in sabotage and armed resistance, risking the Third Reich’s ultimate punishment. This is their story.
