Book Description
At twenty-five, tall, strong Sam White was used to being independent. It was this fierce independence and drive that got him into law school and helped him survive his mother's recent death. It was this same strength and determination that drew fellow law school students and twins, Derek and Wyn, to Sam. What starts as a study buddy friendship soon changes. Although Sam never really questions the feeling he has for his friends, on a drunken night when the twins tell Sam they are both in love with him, Sam has to rethink everything he's thought about himself, and them. After an explosive night trying to work out whatever they were feeling, Sam finds that being gay and being in love with him aren't the only things his two best friends have been hiding from him. In a bloody water battle, Sam soon learns these law students really do become sharks, and they'll risk their lives to protect him.

The Poetry of Derek Mahon
Author: Hugh Haughton
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191615587
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
Derek Mahon is one of the leading poets of his time, both in Ireland and beyond, famously offering a perspective that is displaced from as much as grounded in his native country. From prodigious beginnings to prolific maturity, he has been, through thick and thin, through troubled times and other, a writer profoundly committed to the art of poetry and the craft of making verse. He has also been no-less a committed reviser of his work, believing the poem to be more than a record in verse, but a work of art never finished. This virtuoso study by Hugh Haughton provides the most comprehensive account imaginable of Mahon's oeuvre. Haughton's brilliant writing always serves and illuminates the poetry, yielding extraordinary insights on almost every page. The poetry, its revisions and reception, are the subject here, but so thorough is the approach that what is offered also amounts indirectly to an intellectual biography of the poet and with it an account of Northern Irish poetry vital to our understanding of the times.

Derek Rosenfeld's Travel Companion, Vol. 1
Author: Derek T. Rosenfeld
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595231233
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
Derek Rosenfeld's Travel Companion, Vol. 1 is a world where alternative consciousness is an option, though it is recommended. Do inquire that there is more to your journey than that which you seek, for any limitations could turn into regret. Taking it at face value could also lead to foolishness, and may cause the subject to appear dependent upon outside forces. You do not want such a reflection, or perhaps you do. Regardless, you are on a unique voyage, perhaps never realizing how unique, and should have all eyes and all ears and all heads open and aware of the endless number paths that are just asking to be traversed. Do not hesitate, do not ponder, but if you do, please do it in a timely fashion, and make sure it is done in a constructive matter. Just remember, go, because we all share the same end. And blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah…but what the hell do I know? I’m just a blob in a tie surrounded by five-foot walls, and it’s about time for me to go to lunch. And yes, I will have fries with that.
