Book Description
"Some years ago I was utterly entranced by Jill Jennings' starkly honest poem, 'Hanging Out Laundry With My Grandmother.' In it she shows us how to hang up our own griefs and failures to a redemptive sunlight. The world of her readers will surely respond by taking care of the real and metaphorical laundry that awaits our own tending. The title, Dead Man's Flower, cannot be better chosen. One can see the plumeria as they really are, blooms that release their perfume only as they die, or as healing graces that come to us by feelings shared by poets who decide to live and write as Jennings has done." Mildred White Greear, poet and author of Moving Gone Dancing, and other volumes of verse.

Dead Man's Hand
Author: James J. Butcher
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 059354708X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
In the tradition of his renowned father, James J. Butcher’s debut novel is a brilliant urban fantasy about a young man who must throw out the magical rule book to solve the murder of his former mentor. On the streets of Boston, the world is divided into the ordinary Usuals, and the paranormal Unorthodox. And in the Department of Unorthodox Affairs, the Auditors are the magical elite, government-sanctioned witches with spells at their command and all the power and prestige that comes with it. Grimshaw Griswald Grimsby is…not one of those witches. After flunking out of the Auditor training program and being dismissed as “not Department material,” Grimsby tried to resign himself to life as a mediocre witch. But he can’t help hoping he’ll somehow, someway, get another chance to prove his skill. That opportunity comes with a price when his former mentor, aka the most dangerous witch alive, is murdered down the street from where he works, and Grimsby is the Auditors’ number one suspect. Proving his innocence will require more than a little legwork, and after forming a strange alliance with the retired legend known as the Huntsman and a mysterious being from Elsewhere, Grimsby is abruptly thrown into a life of adventure, whether he wants it or not. Now all he has to do is find the real killer, avoid the Auditors on his trail, and most importantly, stay alive.

Diary of an Undocumented Immigrant
Author: Ramon "Tianguis" P?rez
Publisher: Arte Publico Press
ISBN: 9781611921212
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
The history of the United States in large part is the history of immigration, an immigration of working class peoples. Usually documented by sociologists, economists and other social scientists, the history becomes sanitized, devoid of the sweat, toil, and tears that make up the stories of real people. Here is an authentic, unexpected document from the very hands of a laborer whose trials have been even more burdensome due to his illegal status. Diary of an Undocumented Immigrant, the first book by RamÑn ñTianguisî P?rez, is written in a style that makes the stories of P?rez and his compatriots even more poignant, more touching, and more absurd given the nature of American politics and immigration policy. This is the true storynot the type of sensational report one might find in the news mediaof an undocumented immigrant worker. Here is his odyssey through the United States, his endless trail of menial jobs, his indignities, his humor and his optimism. Perhaps this will shed light on the often obscured experiences of the intelligent, persevering, hard-working human beings we take for granted as they wait our tables, clean our houses, and pick our fruits and vegetables. This is their story.
