Impressed with Boy’s climbing and jumping abilities, Secondus engages Boy as his servant, pulling him into an action-packed and suspenseful expedition across Europe to gather seven precious relics of Saint Peter. Boy quickly realizes this journey is not an innocent one. They are stealing the relics and accumulating dangerous enemies in the process. But Boy is determined to see this pilgrimage through until the end—for what if St. Peter has the power to make him the same as the other boys?

Boy with Thorn
Author: Rickey Laurentiis
Publisher: University of Pittsburgh Press
ISBN: 0822981068
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 104
Book Description
In a landscape at once the brutal American South as it is the brutal mind, Boy with Thorn interrogates the genesis of all poetic creation—the imagination itself, questioning what role it plays in both our fascinations with and repulsion from a national history of racial and sexual violence. The personal and political crash into one language here, gothic as it is supple, meditating on visual art and myth, to desire, the practice of lynching and Hurricane Katrina. Always at its center, though, is the poet himself—confessing a double song of pleasure and inevitable pain.

Once A Boy
Author: Paul Gardner
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781736770535
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
In Once a Boy Paul Gardner reveals in dramatic detail his harrowing accounts as a young, wide-eyed enlistee thrown into the combat zone in Vietnam in 1967. Gardner shares with the reader his fears, insecurities, and his resolve to stay alive. Imbued with raw humanity, his vivid descriptions of intense warzone chaos and survival are bound to leave an indelible mark on readers. Many readers who might feel politically and morally unsympathetic to those men and women who fought the North Vietnamese will doubtless gain a wider perspective and a newer appreciation for what perils American soldiers had to go through, in particular, young servicemen barely out of high school. Not only did they have to face a fierce and deadly enemy, but they had to do so knowing they had little support from Americans back home. Gardner, a helicopter gunship gunner, was awarded the Army Commendation Medal for Heroism in April 1968. The author also shares his profound insights into the real challenges that so many who suffered PTSD experienced upon their return home in the aftermath of the war.
