Valerie, a third book of poetry by Laurel Highlands Author and Poet William C Semo. When you ask what inspires poetry, it is the friendships of one's life. In this book a dedication of poetry to an old friend who recently passed, one who stood by him and believed in him through his many life struggles. Their friendship, unconditional, always pure and spiritual with a sweet ""I love you."" in parting with one another. ""It is the kind of poetry she liked, the kind she would read. Whether I would hand it to her or just leave it at her doorstep. The kind that I carry with me in my moleskins and whose meaning carries with us all into the hereafter. It is about her and many other things because the heart is all that matters in the end."" -William C Semo
In sixty-eight years, Valeria has never minced her words. Harrumphing through her isolated little village deep in the Hungarian steppes, she clutches her shopping basket like a battering ram and leaves nothing uncriticised - flaccid vegetables at the market; idle farmers carousing in Ibolya's Nonstop Tavern; that gauche chimpanzee of a mayor and his flashy, leggy wife; people who whistle. But one day, her spinster's heart is struck by an unlikely arrow: the village potter, with his decisive hands and solid gaze. Valeria finds herself suddenly dressing in florals and touching her hair, and what's more, smiling at people in the street. The potter makes her the most beautiful vase she has ever seen. The farmers buy a celebratory round. The problem with all this is that Ibolya (herself at least fifty-eight) has been romancing the potter for months and vows to win him back. And then there's Ferenc, the sugar beet farmer, red-headed and married but all the same hopelessly in love with Ibolya. Meanwhile the mayor has his own problems, mostly involving foreign investors and a non-existent railway. And then a roving chimney sweep arrives in the village, to make a quick buck and bring some good luck - or perhaps bad luck; no one can really decide. All anyone knows is, there's never been such a hullabaloo, which just goes to show it's never too late to try something new.
Valéry’s Graveyard is in two parts. The first part presents the French text of Paul Valéry’s poem Le Cimetière marin (The Graveyard by the Sea) and a facing English translation, followed by a descriptive account of the poem that sets out its main structural and dynamic features and traces its narrative. The second part consists of nine short chapters on selected themes of the poem in their relation to the poet’s thought, including certain of his scientific concerns, and to literature ancient and modern. Le Cimetière marin is one of the most celebrated works of poetry of the last hundred years, widely recognized as distinguished for beauty of form and wealth of meaning. On the basis of the French text and a translation that is at once accurate and poetical, this book provides an introduction to the poem, and thereby to the complex intellectual world of Valéry. It exhibits the depth and breadth both of the poem and of the poet’s thought. A valuable resource for scholars, Valéry’s Graveyard is accessible to all serious readers. As it does not require a knowledge of French, the book is suitable for study in any course on modern literature.

"Stunning new talent "... Andrew Neiderman, author of The Devil's Advocate BOOK ONE OF THE NIGHTENGALE LEGACY OF SIN AND BETRAYAL Trapped a long time ago by the sins of the father, Valerie Nightengale is determined that someday she will no longer be a weak and helpless little girl. Someday, her fairy-tale prince will rescue her from the dreadful, nightmarish curse of her father, the pathetic Larry Nightengale. So, indeed, Valerie does break the dreadful ties that bind her and she becomes the wealthy, powerful kind of woman she always wanted to be, the kind of woman she always deserved to be. Yet wealth and power cannot break the Nightengale legacy of sin and betrayal, still the sins of the father linger, linger... Now, made both warped and hypocritical by them, Valerie is drawn towards a shocking climax that can do nothing but continue to haunt all of the Nightengales and the Prestons forever From Valerie... When I was but a child, I was too weakened by circumstances to defend my rights, too intimidated by those around me to put a stop their insults and their abuses. Then I discovered my weakness was a sign of failure, a trait of something truly defective, so I lifted my head high and stopped being a martyr for everyone else. Their weaknesses only encouraged my own infirmities. It became necessary to learn how to be unfaltering lest I suffer, lest I wither away and die. Because the most diabolical of damages had been inflicted on me by cold and unfeeling, heartless and uncaring people, I taught myself how to ward off their daily, petty persecutions. In the best-selling tradition of the most famous gothic authors...

"Stunning new talent "... Andrew Neiderman, author of The Devil's Advocate BOOK TWO OF THE NIGHTENGALE LEGACY OF SIN AND BETRAYAL Years ago, in Valerie Nightengale's extravagant Nightengale Manor, the stage was set for secrets, secrets that she did not want anyone to discover. Not even her son. Now, because the sins of the fathers linger still, there are secrets everywhere. Deadly secrets They linger in the deep and silent shadows in the corners of the foreboding Nightengale Manor. They haunt the little house down the hill where once upon a time unspeakable sins of the flesh were committed. Now, thanks to Valerie Nightengale and her hypocritical teachings, they haunt the very grounds surrounding the small dwelling So even more secrets must be planted by the guilty to confound the innocent, to cover the trails of forbidden, wicked lust, and bitter family betrayal. But worst of all, for the son of Valerie Nightengale and Jack Preston, Jon Preston, terrible secrets must be planted to obscure the tracks of betrayal and even the tracks of... murder From Valerie's Secrets... I watched, curiously detached, as a woman appeared to me out of nowhere as if in a dream. She invaded the constant blackness that surrounded me in a blaze of bright light, in a sure coming of glory. The woman was costumed in a long, flowing, habit-like costume that was made entirely of white; she appeared as a nun except she wore nothing on her head. Only her dark, flowing hair offered any real kind of contrast to her brilliant, white outfit. The beautiful, billowing garment enfolded her slight frame and no other part of her was exposed to me except for her face and her hands.

Olga Bakich’s biography of Valerii Pereleshin (1913–1992) follows the turbulent life and exquisite poetry of one of the most remarkable Russian émigrés of the twentieth century. Born in Irkutsk, Pereleshin lived for thirty years in China and for almost forty years in Brazil. Multilingual, he wrote poetry in Russian and in Portuguese and translated Chinese and Brazilian poetry into Russian and Russian and Chinese poetry into Portuguese. For many years he struggled to accept and express his own identity as a gay man within a frequently homophobic émigré community. His poems addressed his three homelands, his religious struggles, and his loves. In Valerii Pereleshin: The Life of a Silkworm, Bakich delves deep into Pereleshin’s poems and letters to tell the rich life story of this underappreciated writer.

"If you ever put that wicked and nasty, nasty and wicked thing that all men are cursed from birth to possess," Grandma Valerie declared in obvious distaste, wrinkling her nose as she pointed at my exposed flaccid wiener with the end of an old yardstick, "inside of this," she continued, turning her makeshift pointer towards my twin sister's vag, "you will be very, very sorry. You will burn in hell for all of eternity, just see if you don't Don't tell me I'll tell you "Hell burns hottest for sinners of the flesh, you know " Grandma Valerie declared with the strongest of conviction.
