This is the definitive version of Roger Casement's German Diary covering the years 1914 to 1916 when, after the war started, he went to Berlin seeking support for Irish independence. With over 350 pages and 150,000 words, it is unabridged where another writer has edited out 20% of the original text. Those cuts are at times from the most sensitive of areas, including the behaviour of the German Army in Belgium and Casement's increasing disillusionment with the Kaiser's Imperial Government and Prussian militarism.The diary and many linked letters give a vivid impression of a man under stress in an alien environment who still manages to observe, describe and appreciate much of what he sees around him. He writes as an outsider of a nation at war with England and France. Casement's growing frustrations however come to the point where his own mental health is destabilised. The final section describes his frantic attempts both to get sufficient arms shipped to the separatist Irish Volunteers and to travel by submarine to Kerry with a view to getting the Easter Rising called off.The book concludes with a series of appendices exploring aspects of his time in Germany, the part played by his accomplices in the Rising, and the role of British and German Intelligence. The continuing controversy over the authenticity of his earlier diaries is also addressed.This is a companion volume to the author's 'Roger Casement: The Black Diaries - with a Study of his Background, Sexuality, and Irish Political Life' which was published in an extended 2nd edition (both paperback and Kindle) in early 2016.
For four decades, Roger Shimomura's paintings, prints, and theatre pieces have addressed sociopolitical issues of Asian America. He does this through a style that combines his childhood interest in comic books, American Pop Art, and traditions of Japanese woodblock prints, thereby evoking his Japanese ancestry while locating him firmly within modern American artistic developments. Through this artistic device, he is able to bring together a wild mixture of compositions that offer up patterns of criticism within visually compelling works of sumptuous color and lighthearted Pop directness.In his recent work, under the banner, An American Knockoff (2009 to the present), Shimomura has taken on the long tradition of self-portraiture through the radical lens of cultural conflict. Two thematic directions – assimilation and resistance – are often fused together as the artist inserts himself as an aging Asian Everyman in various guises and situations, both funny and poignant.

Roger Williams (c. 1603-1683) is known as the founder of Rhode Island as a refuge for those who were seeking religious tolerance and for his advocacy of the land rights of Native Americans. This volume is the first to print the thirty-two poems that were included within the text of his Key into the Language of America (1643) as a collection of poetry eminently worthy of reading and study in itself. In his critical Introduction, poet and American Literature scholar George Monteiro makes the case for Williams as America's first poet in English.
Roger Bolan's calling as a poet didn't come until he was well into his eighties. And that calling came in a most unusual way.Roger had an experience in July of 2015 that changed his life forever. He struggled for more than a year trying to find a reasonable explanation for what happened to him and he could find none. He had been told that if something is bugging you, write it down, wad it up and throw it away. He had a word page open on the computer and he intended to spell out what was bugging him and delete it. Instead he had written the first poem ever in his life. The result was the first poem in this book, the hauntingly beautiful My Kindred Spirit about an old man who recognizes his lost love from another life.Since that evening, poetry flowed from his mind and heart. The deeply touching Mom, the Lake, and the Lily Pads evokes happy early childhood memories of spending time with his mother on a lake in a row boat. My Grandpa and Me memorializes the moment he learned the value of honesty, a lesson that was to stay with him the rest of his life. Then there's Do Over that captures the precious and unrepeatable value of a human life. All the poems in Renaissance--a title he gave the book since writing poetry is a new beginning for him at age eighty-eight--transport us into intimate scenes from a long life well-lived.His book Renaissance, a collection of some thirty of his poems, is an inspiring testament to life's possibilities waiting to be discovered no matter what your age.
