Book Description
I don't know how we got here, where the beginning / of the end started, when we drifted so / far apart we were no longer us. Under Clouds and City Lights is a collection of 131 poems dedicated to the universal experiences that tie people together. Inspired by the small moments that empower each of us to be who we truly are, respected poet Caitlin Ju hopes to inspire readers to slow down and appreciate the little things. In her debut book, Caitlin fearlessly explores the entire spectrum of the human experience, including poems on the layers of our personalities such as "Russian Doll," her Asian American identity in "Chopsticks," and the pain of letting go in "Bad at Goodbyes." With poems and illustrations full of heartbreak and beauty, Under Clouds and City Lights is both a coming-of-age story and a love letter to life packed into one inspiring collection.

The Wreckage
Author: Michael Crummey
Publisher: Anchor Canada
ISBN: 0307373290
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
Having achieved considerable success with his first novel, River Thieves, Michael Crummey has written a book that is equally stunning and compelling. The Wreckage is a truly epic, yet twisted, romance that unfolds over decades and continents. It engages readers on the austere shores of Newfoundland’s fishing villages and drags them across to Japanese POW camps during some of the worst events of the Second World War. Haunting, lyrical, and deeply intimate, Crummey’s language fully exposes his characters’ vulnerabilities as they struggle to come to terms with their guilt and regret over decisions made during their impulsive youths. It is a testament to Crummey’s gifts as a novelist that he can flow quite easily through time, across landscapes, and between vastly different characters. He vividly captures the mental and physical anguish experienced in prison camps, and with calm lucidity explores the motives of a Japanese soldier whose actions seem inhumanly cold and calculating. Crummey toys with the readers’ sympathies, suggesting there are few distinctions between the enemy and us. He incorporates heartbreaking tragedy–the dropping of the atom bomb, lynchings in America, murderous revenge–to underscore the darker side of humanity. Crummey shows that we are capable of violence, but in the end he proves we are also capable of redemption, forgiveness, and can be led, unashamed, back to the ones we love.

Book Description
Some ten thousand years ago Earth was visited by beings from another planet in the Barnard’s Star system. The Babylonians recorded that beings they called the ‘Oannes’ were amphibious creatures who came to Earth for the welfare of the human race. The historian Hellandus describes them as having fishlike features but the head, feet and arms of a man. They instructed humans in everything a civilized nation should know. They built a city beneath Antarctica near the Davis Sea and have lived there peacefully and secretly ever since. But now a rogue Dwarf Star called Zarama threatens the very existence of both Earth and the home planet Nazmos. Their mythology predicts that a being from another planet will avert disaster. Enter Ashley Bonner into this scenario. He has been granted ‘special gifts’ and the Oannes think he may be the predicted one. Can Ashley really prevail against a star a third more massive than the Sun? This is the story of Ashley’s development to manhood from age four to seventy and his ultimate sacrifice to save both worlds.
