Book Description
Dream Box is a collection of 161 short stories, anecdotes, dialogues, dreams, and reflections. All of the stories are fictional, but they are all based on real events. Dream Box is the first volume of a series that will ultimately comprise 1001 stories. The second volume is in the works, and should be available next year. Muriel Spark wrote “If I write it, it’s grammatical” and it applies to Dream Box. I write in a borrowed language, but I have made it my own. It is the way I express myself and the way I want to be heard. It remains the voice of a stranger, of a foreigner, with its fragility, idiosyncrasies, contradictions, and its own particular flavor.

The "Warriors" of the 5th Battalion, 12th Infantry, 199th Light Infantry Brigade joined the U.S. Army's lightning offensive into the Cambodian border sanctuaries late in the afternoon of May 12th, 1970. Less than six hours after arriving at a small, poorly-constructed patrol base called LZ Brown, two under-strength infantry companies from the battalion were fiercely engaged with the 174th NVA Regiment. This battle marked the North Vietnamese Army's first major counter-attack of the Cambodian Incursion. For the next two months during that hectic summer of 1970, the 5-12th Infantry and Delta Battery, 2nd Battalion, 40th Artillery fought head to head on a daily basis with some of the toughest and most determined units in the North Vietnamese Army.

As long as she doesn’t get stuck believing in happily ever after… Nick is not boyfriend material.

A Dark Dreambox of Another Kind
Author: Alfred Starr Hamilton
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780988464308
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Poetry. Edited by Ben Estes and Alan Felsenthal. Introduction by Geof Hewitt. Though Hamilton wrote thousands of poems during his lifetime, only a small percentage of them ever found their way into print. His poems appeared in small poetry journals during the 60s, 70s and 80s; two chapbooks, The Big Parade and Sphinx; and one full-length collection, The Poems of Alfred Starr Hamilton, published by The Jargon Society in 1970. In this new volume, Ben Estes and Alan Felsenthal present a collection of Hamilton's poems from these publications, along with many of Hamilton's poems that were previously considered lost and poems from posthumously found notebooks. "Hamilton is the author of spare, wry, slightly surreal poems that have, so far as I can see, no real equivalent in American English." Ron Silliman "Alfred Starr Hamilton 'wrote to the governor of poetry / And simply signed his] own name.' Consider this collection assembled by two very dedicated allographers an essential expansion on said letter. People who've encountered Hamilton's work previously will be glad for the chance to see familiar poems alongside many marvelous new ones. And how I envy first-time readers of this most generous and genuine American writer." Graham Foust "It is a hidden world, a hushabye place that Alfred Starr Hamilton occupies, a secluded place where he is free to summon daffodils and stars, chimes and angels, thread and old-fashioned spoons. There is Hungarian damage, blue revolutionary stars, a sedge hammer (which is not a typo). He is obsessively drawn to fine metals bronze, silver and gold. He would be golden, but can never grasp the elusive sad: 'One cloud, one day / Came as a shadow in my life / And then left, and came back again; and stayed' like "Anything Remembered" which is the title of that poem. He is too removed to see things any other way but his own. It is a silver peepshow in the wonderbush, and there is always a moon to scrape from the bottom of his view." C. D. Wright "We are living in the Badlands. Dorothy's ruby-slippers would get you across the Deadly Desert. So will these poems." Jonathan Williams"
