Little Boy
Author: Lawrence Ferlinghetti
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 0525565957
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
From the famed publisher and poet, author of the million-copy-selling collection A Coney Island of the Mind, his literary last will and testament -- part autobiography, part summing up, part Beat-inflected torrent of language and feeling, and all magical. "A volcanic explosion of personal memories, political rants, social commentary, environmental jeremiads and cultural analysis all tangled together in one breathless sentence that would make James Joyce proud. . ." —Ron Charles, The Washington Post In this unapologetically unclassifiable work Lawrence Ferlinghetti lets loose an exhilarating rush of language to craft what might be termed a closing statement about his highly significant and productive 99 years on this planet. The "Little Boy" of the title is Ferlinghetti himself as a child, shuffled from his overburdened mother to his French aunt to foster childhood with a rich Bronxville family. Service in World War Two (including the D-Day landing), graduate work, and a scholar gypsy's vagabond life in Paris followed. These biographical reminiscences are interweaved with Allen Ginsberg-esque high energy bursts of raw emotion, rumination, reflection, reminiscence and prognostication on what we may face as a species on Planet Earth in the future. Little Boy is a magical font of literary lore with allusions galore, a final repository of hard-earned and durable wisdom, a compositional high wire act without a net (or all that much punctuation) and just a gas and an inspiration to read.

Book Description
To the Little Boy in Me: Learning with Dyslexia & ADHD is me looking back from adulthood to the little boy in me saying, "You're going to be ok. Dyslexia was not a curse. ADHD was not a curse." I graduated from high school with honors. I didn't learn I was dyslexic until I was a junior in college. I was a pre-med major. who went on to graduate from college with a degree in psychology and a minor in biology. I innately taught myself how to learn and create my own strategies to cope with this disability. I didn't get diagnosed with ADHD until much later in life when I was thirty years old when I was writing my dyslexia book. In the process, I discovered the things that I got in trouble with as a kid are things I get paid for as an adult which is, my interaction with people, the way that I communicate, they way I use my dyslexia with my gifts and talents and how I remember things. All of the things I struggled with academically in school are things I get paid to share as a keynote speaker, as a life coach and as a presenter. I am now a sought after person because of the gifts that dyslexia and ADHD have given me. As a Dad, ADHD is great, when I'm working with my 3-year-old and 8-month-old daughters and I'm trying to be a parent. I realize I can't always focus because things are always moving in the stay-at-home Dad world. The blessings of being dyslexic are real. Yes, the gifts are cool and amazing. But before reaching the goal, there is a lot of self-doubt, low self-esteem, frustration, and junk to sift through. A lot of reaching back and hugging the little boy in me and letting him know it's okay. You are better because it happened the way it did. The qualities and character you have are results of what you've gone through. You are not weak. You have a testimony to share that can benefit someone else's life.

The Best Little Boy in the World
Author: Andrew Tobias
Publisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 0345381769
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
The classic account of growing up gay in America. "The best little boy in the world never had wet dreams or masturbated; he always topped his class, honored mom and dad, deferred to elders and excelled in sports . . . . The best little boy in the world was . . . the model IBM exec . . . The best little boy in the world was a closet case who 'never read anything about homosexuality.' . . . John Reid comes out slowly, hilariously, brilliantly. One reads this utterly honest account with the shock of recognition." The New York Times "The quality of this book is fantastic because it comes of equal parts honesty and logic and humor. It is far from being the story of a Gay crusader, nor is it the story of a closet queen. It is the story of a normal boy growing into maturity without managing to get raped into, or taunted because of, his homosexuality. . . . He is bright enough to be aware of his hangups and the reasons for them. And he writes well enough that he doesn't resort to sensationalism . . . ." San Francisco Bay Area Reporter

Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
Life can sometimes seem like a complicated constellation of detours and winding roads - some of which teeter on the side of ease and predictability, while others... well, not so much. Follow along with a father who was dealt a difficult hand as he recounts the tragic story of his family, ravished by one of the greatest mistakes in modern medicine. With raw grit and vulnerability, Scott recounts his life growing up in small town USA and details the ways in which addiction and mental illness resulted in losses that no father, son, or brother should even have to endure. Alongside his youngest son, Wes, a medical professional in psychiatry, they take a closer look into the world of addiction and the epidemic we find ourselves to be in - revealing the causes, variables, and paths to consider moving forward. Scott shares the lessons he learned throughout the journey of trying to find his firstborn son, Daniel, help in battling a disease that few understand. Through Daniel's story, the cracks in our system - the injustice, corruption, and discrimination - are directly illuminated and should inspire each of us to work better together. Little Boy Lost is a call to action.

a Heaven is for Real Deluxe Edition
Author: Todd Burpo
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
ISBN: 0849949203
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
#1 New York Times bestseller with more than 11 million copies sold! When 4-year-old Colton Burpo emerges from life-saving surgery with remarkable stories of his visit to heaven, his family doesn’t know what to believe. Heaven is For Real details what Colton saw and his family’s journey towards accepting their young son had visited the afterlife. “Do you remember the hospital, Colton?” Sonja said. “Yes, mommy, I remember,” he said. “That’s where the angels sang to me.” Colton told his parents he left his body during an emergency surgery–and proved that claim by describing exactly what his parents were doing in another part of the hospital during his operation. He talked of visiting heaven and described events that happened before he was born and how he spoke with family members he’d never met. Colton also astonished his parents with descriptions and obscure details about heaven that matched the Bible exactly, even though he had not yet learned to read. With disarming innocence and the plainspoken boldness of a child, Colton recounts his visit to heaven, describing: Meeting long-departed family members Jesus, the angels, how “really, really big” God is, and how much God loves us How Jesus called Todd, Colton’s father, to be a pastor The Battle of Armageddon Retold by his father, but using Colton’s uniquely simple words, Heaven Is for Real offers a glimpse of the world that awaits us, where as Colton says, “Nobody is old and nobody wears glasses.” Heaven Is for Real will forever change the way you think of eternity, offering the chance to see, and believe, like a child. Praise for Heaven is for Real: “A beautifully written glimpse into heaven that will encourage those who doubt and thrill those who believe.” —Ron Hall, coauthor of Same Kind of Different as Me
