Book Description
This book is an exhilarating revelation. No other poet in Canada has the depth and range of Dennis Lee. Jazzman, jester, and metaphysician, hardball political thinker and passionate lover, he has been publishing poems for fifty years, working across the spectrum from nursery rhymes and skipping songs to uncompromising moral introspection to full-tilt love songs, plangent psalms, and ecstatic, solitary prayer. This Omnibus represents them all, and it will make your head spin. There are poets’ poets and people’s poets. And then there are those few who are neither and both: the few who become, over time, part of the warp and weft of their culture. Heart Residence collects for the first time work from all corners of this extraordinary career, from Lee’s searing early breakthroughs to his beloved children's verse to his visions of environmental apocalypse. A must-have collection from one of Canada’s literary icons.

Book Description
A god-like Entity drifts in space, embodied in a physical structure called Whole World. In order to experience free will, the entity undergoes self-imposed cycles of forgetting and remembering through the characters it creates within Whole World. Once again it is time for the Entity to regain full consciousness and memory, either as creator (Komp) or destroyer (Relik). Previously in Whole World, knowledge of history was forbidden. But forgotten knowledge now appears. Physical and social order begins to fall apart. The Hegemon Han, leader of Allera, directs five young Allerans to embark on individual ‘crusades’ in order to save Whole World from destruction. However Teran, Allera’s new High Tek, suspects the motives of the powerful rulers of Allera. He also mistrusts the meks, strange beings with mysterious powers. And he is torn between Kell, the beautiful captain of Allera’s military, and the enigmatic female mek leader, Thia. Will the young crusaders survive the treachery and danger they encounter, or will the destroyer Relik triumph and Whole World suffer a catastrophe from which it may never recover? Will it be changed into something none of these young leaders could have ever imagined?

Franklin
Author: Barbara McRae and Cherry Jackson
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1467120243
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
Franklin sits on a hill above the Little Tennessee River. The surveyors who chose the site in 1820 admired its beauty, laying out the town with Main Street facing the Cowee Mountains to the east and the Nantahala Range to the west. Though ringed by rugged summits, Franklin was linked to population centers by well-worn trails. It soon developed into the market center of southwestern North Carolina, a role it retains today, especially for the building trades, furniture, and jewelry. Richly blessed with gems and minerals, the town was once touted as the Gem Capital of the World. Franklin is also justly proud of its crafters, including quilters, woodworkers, potters, basket makers, and glass artists. The Franklin Press, founded in 1886, is the oldest business in the county. The Macon County Historical Society, operating in the old Pendergrass Store, and the Franklin Gem and Mineral Museum are perennial favorites with tourists. Franklin is also a gateway town for the Appalachian Trail, which passes nearby, attracting hikers almost year-round. Franklin showcases the rich commercial and community history of this North Carolina mountain town."
