When the archangel, Adam, and St. Peter arrive at the fallen angels palace, a terrible battle ensues until God intercedes.

God then tells Matthew that he has kept him in heaven to help announce the coming of his son to the world. God gives Matthew a golden vase containing a magical star that will help guide the shepherds and wise men to the birthplace of Jesus.

Publisher: New York Review of Books
ISBN: 1681370913
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 145
Book Description
An original collection from one of the most active poets in contemporary literature. Winner of the 2019 International Poetry Prize from the City of Münster The Pirate Who Does Not Know the Value of Pi is a poem-novel about the relationship between a pirate and a parrot who, after capturing a certain quantity of prizes, are shipwrecked on a deserted island, where they proceed to discuss whether they would have been able to communicate with people indigenous to the island, had there been any. Characterized by multilingual punning, humor puerile and set-theoretical, philosophical irony and narrative handicaps, Eugene Ostashevsky’s new large-scale project draws on sources as various as early modern texts about pirates and animal intelligence, old-school hip-hop, and game theory to pursue the themes of emigration, incomprehension, untranslatability, and the otherness of others.

In Miel Moreland's heartfelt young adult debut, It Goes Like This, four queer teens realize that sometimes you have to risk hitting repeat on heartbreak.

But after a sudden falling out leads to the dissolution of the teens' band, their friendship, and Eva and Celeste's starry-eyed romance, nothing is the same. Gina and Celeste step further into the spotlight, Steph disappears completely, and Eva, heartbroken, takes refuge as a songwriter and secret online fangirl...of her own band.

The Reckless Kind
Author: Carly Heath
Publisher: Soho Press
ISBN: 1641292822
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
A genre-defying debut, this queer historical YA centers a wild and reckless trio who fly in the face of small-town tradition—full of compassion, love, and determination to live the lives of their choosing. It’s 1904 on an island just west of Norway, and Asta Hedstrom doesn’t want to marry her odious betrothed, Nils. But her mother believes she should be grateful for the possibility of any domestic future, given her single-sided deafness, unconventional appearance, and even stranger notions. Asta would rather spend her life performing in the village theater with her fellow outcasts: her best friend Gunnar Fuglestad and his secret boyfriend, wealthy Erlend Fournier. But the situation takes a dire turn when Nils lashes out in jealousy—gravely injuring Gunnar. Shunning marriage for good, Asta moves with Gunnar and Erlend to their secluded cabin above town. With few ties left to their families, they have one shot at gaining enough kroner to secure their way of life: win the village’s annual horse race. Despite Gunnar’s increasing misgivings, Asta and Erlend intend to prove this unheard-of arrangement will succeed. Asta trains as a blacksmith; Erlend cares for recovering Gunnar. But as race day approaches, the villagers’ hateful ignorance only grows stronger. With this year’s competition proving dangerous for the trio, Asta and Erlend soon find they face another equally deadly peril: the possibility of losing Gunnar, and their found family, forever.

Book Description
If you've been sensing that there is a better way to eliminate debt, you are 100% correct. Never before in history has there been a book devoted to educating consumers on interest cancellation and opportunity cost calculation, until now. The PILL Method exists to tell you the truth about money, debt and the interest you pay. This book was written to help you understand the power of the penny (how much interest each penny can cancel when optimized) instead of relying on heuristics (rules of thumb). Many tools that are taught as best practices such as the debt snowball, avalanche method, and rounding up your payments can actually cause you to prolong the life of your loans by paying $30,000 to $50,000 more in interest than you should. In this book you will learn: · The history of amortization in America · How to gather small amounts of money and apply them as principal prepayments · How to reverse the leveraging action of amortization so you can cut interest costs · How an opportunity cost calculator can aid you in the process of retiring all of your debt in 7 to 9 years If your goal is to borrow money at the deepest discount, make interest when investing or save interest when you borrow, this is the perfect book for you. Once you gain an accurate sense of principal reduction costs you can appreciate the effect of optimized interest savings through interest cancellation. If you are ready to stop trusting your feelings and start relying on math, The PILL Method holds the answers to your financial questions.

Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0980957222
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
Published and unpublished poetry from the works of the two authors. Just as haiku encapsulates the essence of the moment, this collection of haiku and related forms preserves a series of such moments in the authors' lives. And, like life itself, these moments document deeply emotional journeys of dreams won and lost, subtle humor and personal struggle. Refusing to shy away from even the most difficult aspects of life, Golas and Fay present a collection of poetry that runs the gamut of emotions. Some of their poetry is influenced by the geographical and cultural impacts of living in the area known until recently as 'The Nickel Capital of the World.' The special section, "Sudbury Breccia," assembles a number of poems that express life in a northern Ontario mining town.

Haiku Moment
Author: Bruce Ross
Publisher: Tuttle Publishing
ISBN: 1462903193
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
Kagero Nikki, translated here as The Gossamer Years, belongs to the same period as the celebrated Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikuibu. This remarkably frank autobiographical diary and personal confession attempts to describe a difficult relationship as it reveals two tempestuous decades of the author's unhappy marriage and her growing indignation at rival wives and mistresses. Too impetuous to be satisfied as a subsidiary wife, this beautiful (and unnamed) noblewoman of the Heian dynasty protests the marriage system of her time in one of Japanese literature's earliest attempts to portray difficult elements of the predominant social hierarchy. A classic work of early Japanese prose, The Gossamer Years is an important example of the development of Heian literature, which, at its best, represents an extraordinary flowering of realistic expression, an attempt, unique for its age, to treat the human condition with frankness and honesty. A timeless and intimate glimpse into the culture of ancient Japan, this translation by Edward Seidensticker paints a revealing picture of married life in the Heian period.
