Ecstatic Writing
Author: Maurice Horn
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595272312
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
This book is a collection of poetry, essays, short stories and ecstatic writing which defies description. The beauty of the place and my memories of those times come from a very special place in my heart. It is drawn from the writing I have done over the course of my life from age fourteen at an Eastern prep school until a thought popped into my head this morning as I was drinking a cup of green tea. For instance, here is the story of how I was born: I was baked inside a TV set for twenty five minutes. The recipe called for fifty.

Boy @ the Window
Author: Donald Earl Collins
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780989256131
Category : African Americans
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
As a preteen Black male growing up in Mount Vernon, New York, there were a series of moments, incidents and wounds that caused me to retreat inward in despair and escape into a world of imagination. For five years I protected my family secrets from authority figures, affluent Whites and middle class Blacks while attending an unforgiving gifted-track magnet school program that itself was embroiled in suburban drama. It was my imagination that shielded me from the slights of others, that enabled my survival and academic success. It took everything I had to get myself into college and out to Pittsburgh, but more was in store before I could finally begin to break from my past. "Boy @ The Window" is a coming-of-age story about the universal search for understanding on how any one of us becomes the person they are despite-or because of-the odds. It's a memoir intertwined with my own search for redemption, trust, love, success-for a life worth living. "Boy @ The Window" is about one of the most important lessons of all: what it takes to overcome inhumanity in order to become whole and human again.

Holy Trinity Amberley Churchyards Memorials
Author: Robert Sharpe
Publisher: Robert Sharpe
ISBN:
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 150
Book Description
The church of The Holy Trinity in Amberley, Gloucestershire was consecrated in 1841. Since that date over 1000 people have been interred in the churchyard and many memorials have been erected in their memory. The majority of these memorials have suffered the ravages on time, by either collapsing completely or becoming severely eroded by weather, so that their inscription have become hard to interpret. In 2006 a project to record all the memorials was started by members of the church led by the Amberley Archive Group. Many of the memorials required extensive clearing of the weeds and ivy that covered them before their inscription could be examined and recorded. At the same time a photograph of each was taken. This project took over 3 years to complete and culminated with the publication of a paper record in 2009 which is kept in the church for public reference. The book was updated in 2018 with an addendum recording all the internments since 2009. This book is one of a set of four, split alphabetically, containing a picture of each memorial, or plaque, together with the details of any inscription. This book contains all the memorials for surnames with initial letter M-S.
