Book Description
Let Our Eyes Linger delves deeply into the author's life as son, grandson, father, husband, artist, and schoolteacher while illuminating currents of racial identity and the plight of other black men. These include Jim, the runaway slave from Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, who speaks here in his own in poems that deepen one of the most complicated and controversial characters in American Literature. Reginald Dwayne Betts calls Let Our Eyes Linger "a testament to how the stories we tell ourselves to get through the day can become the poetry that speaks to more than our own existence." Joshua Wiener praises poems "that dramatize the contingencies of family; of its direct influence on the kinds of language we speak...that draw honestly the flight of eros from the domestic scene, as well as the endurance of love & devotion." Toi Derricote writes that "Davis' poems invite comparisons with Robert Hayden and Gwendolyn Brooks' poems of 20thcentury family life."

Art of Mountain Biking
Author: Robert Hurst
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 0762775572
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
An unprecedented new look at mountain biking and trail riding techniques from the author of The Art of Cycling Riding obstacle-strewn singletrack trails on a two-wheeled machine is one of those seductive challenges that can never be fully mastered, even by the most talented and experienced. In The Art of Mountain Biking, Robert Hurst deliberately avoids discussion of equipment, training, and other subjects that have already been beaten to death in mountain bike books and magazines, to focus on the deeply complex art of riding trails. From page to page and switchback to switchback, he chases the complex mysteries that make trail riding so difficult—and so rewarding—from the application of “soft power” and the biomechanics of balance and vision, to the philosophy of line choice and the Riccatti equations that describe the path of the bike's rear wheel, to the nature of dirt itself. Built on the author’s own quarter-century of experience and the tried-and-true wisdom of many other veteran mountain bikers, this environmentalist and darkly humorous manual provides a collection of unexpected knowledge that will be indispensable to both novices and experts. Throughout, Hurst explains with clarity, revelation—and a healthy dash of wit—the ins and outs of riding a mountain bike.

But when Sam is abducted, Sophie must finally trust her visions and use them. She may not have been able to save her brother, but perhaps she can save Sam—and herself.

Growing up so close to the powerful Romano family, twenty-year-old Caterina Russo has always been good buddies with their youngest son, Luciano. How could she predict that being sent to fetch him downstairs for dinner with their families would bring her face-to-face with his latest lover—or worse, that she’d be so suddenly smitten by him? Any such feelings must immediately be quashed, buried too deep to ever threaten her again. Stellina—Luciano’s little star. He has always planned to put a ring on Caterina’s finger, just not yet. No need to clip his wings at only twenty-five, not even for her. So why does he find himself monitoring her every move, rescuing her from dangerous situations, and instantly enraged if another man so much as looks at her? And what can he possibly say when, in desperation to avoid an arranged marriage, she asks him to marry her? But yes is only the beginning. Having grown up under the harsh rules of mafia families, can either Caterina or Luciano ever learn to trust? Can they possibly overcome the obstacles those same families throw in their way? They’ll have to fight for what they want—together.
