Coacoochee's Bones
Author: Susan A. Miller
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
"A man born to an elite family, Coacoochee used the power of his status in creative ways, and Miller uses his career to explain his leadership in terms of Seminole knowledge and governmental structure, showing that Coacoochee's concept of leadership was linked as closely to spiritual as to political or military imperatives. Her account offers a more nuanced understanding of the Seminole cosmos - particularly the reality governing Coacoochee's awareness of his own tribe's circumstances - and of long-standing borderlands disputes. She draws on Seminole, American, and Mexican sources to help untangle the histories of various emigrant tribes to the borderlands. She also examines the status of Seminoles today in light of the suppression of Coacoochee's story, including modern Seminole's attempts to recover their lost homeland at El Nacimiento."--BOOK JACKET.

Our Fathers
Author: Andrew O'Hagan
Publisher: Emblem Editions
ISBN: 1551995298
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
From the author of the incredible debut novel, Be Near Me. Finalist for the Man Booker Prize, the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, and the Whitbread Award. Hugh Bawn was a modern hero, a visionary urban planner, a man of the people who revolutionized Scotland’s residential development after the Second World War. But times have changed. Now, as he lies dying in one of his own failed buildings, his grandson Jamie comes home to watch over him. The old man’s final months bring Jamie to see what is best and worst in the past that haunts them all, and he sees the fears of his own life unravel in the land that bred him. It is Jamie who tells the story of his family, of three generations of pride and delusion, of nationality and strong drink, of Catholic faith and the end of political idealism. It is a tale of dark hearts and modern houses, of three men in search of Utopia. A poignant and powerful reclamation of the past, Our Fathers is a deeply felt, beautifully crafted, utterly unforgettable novel.

My Father Was a Poet
Author: Lester Graves Lennon
Publisher: CW Books
ISBN: 9781625490223
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 98
Book Description
MY FATHER WAS A POET by Lester Graves Lennon is a ferocious, loving exploration of family, war and fear. His rhythms powerfully establish a poetry of uncompromising ground. "In Lester Graves Lennon's new book personal history and national history become interwoven to remarkable effect. This is a collection of startling contradictions in which love and hate, peace and violence, light and dark not only clash but intermingle. Best of all, these poems feel alive--struggling, weeping, laughing, and loving--just like the vibrant characters they depict."--Dana Gioia "Although Lester Graves Lennon's new collection frequently treats the terrors of contemporary life, his poems about his family and about the larger family of our republic affirm the possibility of social progress and intellectual enlightenment. As when reading Robert Frost, we feel reading Lennon that maybe we can increase--increment by fractional increment, generation by troubled generation, through love and the arts and sciences--our humanity and hold on the planet."--Timothy Steele
