![]() ![]() It is perfect packaging, and what is within does not disappoint. Of Poetry and Protest is coffee-table size, with a stars and stripes in warm, deep gray tones serving as background for the words on the cover. ![]() ![]() Both are eloquent proof of the imperative to wrestle with truth so that it can be transformed, to any degree. Of Poetry and Protest: From Emmett Till to Trayvon Martin was edited and compiled by Philip Cushway and Michael Warr, and Monticello In Mind: Contemporary Poems on Jefferson, was edited by Lisa Russ Spaar. The late Congresswoman Barbara Jordan got it just right when she said at a Watergate hearing that “When they wrote the Constitution, I was left out.” All writers face this with varying degrees of consent, creativity, and success, often in direct or indirect collaborations with historians and archaeologists. America was born with an immoral race problem and will die with it. ![]() ![]() But since Naomi’s life imploded right in front of him, the least he can do is help her out of her jam. There’s a reason Knox doesn’t do complications or high-maintenance women, especially not the romantic ones. Now she’s stuck in town with no car, no job, no plan, and no home with an 11-year-old going on thirty to take care of. After helping herself to Naomi’s car and cash, Tina leaves her with something unexpected. ![]() Too bad for Naomi her evil twin hasn’t changed at all. She was riding to the rescue of her estranged twin to Knockemout, Virginia, a rough-around-the-edges town where disputes are settled the old-fashioned way…with fists and beer. ![]() Summary (from the publisher):Naomi wasn’t just running away from her wedding. ![]() ![]() ![]() They had great sex, met each other’s parents, and went on road trips between Iowa and Bloomington, Indiana, where the girlfriend lived in a cabin, which Machado calls “the Dream House”. ![]() She finally felt she had found the person she had been waiting for. Machado, who had grown up in suburban Pennsylvania, had dated plenty of men but she had never been in a relationship with a woman before. When Machado was at the Iowa writers’ school in her late 20s, she met a witty, worldly, petite blond Harvard graduate who spoke French and was a “mix of butch and femme that drives you crazy”. With hindsight, her short story, Mothers, which deals obliquely with domestic abuse between two women, now appears to be a rehearsal.įor all the experimentation, the basic narrative is straightforward. She was shortlisted for a US National book award in 2017 for her gothic-flavoured short stories about sex and gender. Machado is at the forefront of a wave of writers (including Sarah Hall, Julia Armfield, Fiona Mozley and Sophie Mackintosh) producing sensual, defiant, highly inward stories that centre on the female body. ![]() ![]() It ensnares and unsettles, tantalises and wrongfoots. But that doesn’t quite capture how it haunts the grey areas of abuse, how it shatters the memoir form, how like a dream it shapeshifts. ![]() ![]() Your Majesty perhaps will now also say, 'All I am concerned with are the benevolent and the right. By contrast there has never been a benevolent person who neglected his parents or a righteous person who put his lord last. But when benefit is put before what is right, they are not satisfied without snatching it all. Those with a thousand out of ten thousand, or a hundred out of a thousand, had quite a bit. When the head of a state of ten thousand chariots is murdered, the assassin is invariably a noble with a fief of a thousand chariots, When the head of a fief of a thousand chariots is murdered, the assassin is invariably head of a subfief of a hundred chariots. If your Majesty says, 'How can I benefit my state?' Your officials will say, 'How can I benefit my family,' and officers and common people will say, 'How can I benefit myself.' Once superiors and inferiors are competing for benefit, the state will be in danger. The king said, "Sir, you did not consider a thousand li too far to come, You must have some ideas about how to benefit my state." Mencius replied, "Why must Your Majesty use the word 'benefit'' All I am concerned with are the benevolent and the right. Mencius had an audience with King Hui of Liang. ![]() ![]() Below are excerpts of the completely correct view by Mencius: ![]() Machiavelli's observation of human nature and government are not correct and often contradicts the wisdom of the dharma and sages. ![]() ![]() ![]() The chapter where Ravin and Khushi finally meet after months of first meeting on the Internet, talking on the telephone and how the author has shown this is a treat to the readers. And also the fact that love stories don’t always end with a happy ending. What would catch the attention of the reader is the simplicity and the honesty with which this book has been written, that makes the reader so gullible to believe the events of the novel. The book tells us the story of how two strangers with different goals and dreams in life met on a matrimonial site and how their love bloomed, until fate put it to its ultimate test. The novel is written in first person, where the author tries to describe the relationship between him and Khushi in such a manner that I couldn’t help but experience the entire thing through Ravin’s eyes. ![]() The book may be put under the category ‘Fiction’, but it is a well-known fact that each and every one of these chapters is imbibed from the author’s personal experiences. Ravinder Singh’s ‘ I too had a love story‘ is the author’s real-life love story that seems to have struck a chord in the hearts of the readers across the country, making it a national bestseller. Ravin’s love story is one such innocent and beautiful story.” “Not all love stories are meant to have a perfect ending. ![]() ![]() ![]() I wanted more!! Brad Vance is a new author to me (and frankly I'm fairly new to M/M romance), but he can consider me a sold-out fan. Parts of this story are sad and heartbreaking to read, but much of it, much of them together is just so sigh worthy! I can tell you I hated when it was over and I had to move on. As I said I was totally hooked right from the beginning. It’s well-written, characters are fully developed, real and likeable, the story has a great flow, LOVE Brian and Roger… the sexual scenes are realistic, very sensual and OMG steamy! I also enjoyed the sports aspect (you can tell the author did his homework), but what I liked best is the love story (I’m a girl, what can I say) and Roger and Brian’s romance is one of the best I’ve read in awhile. I loved every word of their very real story. Jacob was my favorite per the performance by Brad Vance.įrom the beginning of this story I was captivated with the two leads, Roger and Brian. Which character – as performed by Brad Vance – was your favorite? ![]() His integrity and character were above reproach. Yes, It's an excellent story of love and sacrifice.
