Book Description
You asked. He didn’t answer. The We Get Letters column of the FreeBSD Journal has been called “a tsunami of bile disguised as experience and erudition,” “a torment to the eye and a stain upon the soul,” and “the corroded battleship anchor that will drag an otherwise illustrious Journal to an ignominious demise.” If you ask people who aren’t the columnist, you’ll get a less luminous view. Perhaps even negative. We sincerely apologize. This collection of the first three years illustrates how rapidly Lucas abandoned any pretense of answering questions usefully—or, indeed, paying any attention whatsoever to his correspondents. It is unacceptable. What the editors conceived of as an innocent letters column quickly transcended bitterness to become elevated, even elegant enmity. Against everyone. Apologies are insufficient. In an attempt to keep these columns from teaching other articles bad habits, we have confined them in their own private volume. The publisher expects it to be presented as evidence at his inevitable competency hearings, as well as most of the civil suits. Next week’s suits, at least. "While we appreciate Mr Lucas' unique contributions to the Journal, we do feel his specific talents are not being fully utilized. Please buy his books, his hours, autographed photos, whatever so that he is otherwise engaged." – John Baldwin, FreeBSD Journal Editorial Board Chair

Letters from Red Farm
Author: Elizabeth Emerson
Publisher: UMass + ORM
ISBN: 1613768931
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
In 1888, young Helen Keller traveled to Boston with her teacher, Annie Sullivan, where they met a man who would change her life: Boston Transcript columnist and editor Joseph Edgar Chamberlin. Throughout her childhood and young adult years, Keller spent weekends and holidays at Red Farm, the Chamberlins' home in Wrentham, Massachusetts, a bustling environment where avant-garde writers, intellectuals, and social reformers of the day congregated. Keller eventually called Red Farm home for a year when she was sixteen. Informed by previously unpublished letters and extensive research, Letters from Red Farm explores for the first time Keller's deep and enduring friendship with the man who became her literary mentor and friend for over forty years. Written by Chamberlin's great-great granddaughter, this engaging story imparts new insights into Keller's life and personality, introduces the irresistible Chamberlin to a modern public, and follows Keller's burgeoning interest in social activism, as she took up the causes of disability rights, women's issues, and pacifism.

Book Description
Poetry. From one direction Ed Barrett's PRACTICAL LULLABIES FOR JOE, from the other Joseph Torra's THE LETTERS TO ED, with gorgeous collages by Gian Lombardo, these poems literally collide on the page, encounter each other as the authors encounter each other's work and ideas in the poems themselves. Torra's LETTERS is a numbered series of prose poems that infuse daily life with a quiet and questioning desire to know. What were the four virtues of the true woman? What is duality of the text? A secured loan, title to property and large house close to the river reconcile community, family, emotional crisis and writing's role. Why do men do what they do outside the normal spleen? Barrett's PRACTICAL LULLABIES range from lyrical to cynical, from verse to prose, bemused, musing, exploratory. Love/and an outdoor movie in daytime/would be different depending on how powerful/the projector is: either you could only/hear the sound without a picture,/a funny kind of unrelated story booming out,/surround
