More than ever, Poetry is to never remain silent. In this world of violence and injustice, poetry has to play an important role always with the ones who suffer. This is exactly what MVP does "to glorify God"-as he always states: he innovates; he speaks from the heart in defending the rights of life, peace and everyday awareness that inspires hope. We resist the oppression by unifying the shape of our streets in The Bronx (where his life started) from the neighborhood connivance to an impersonal tower to citizens and individuals whose minds are egoistic. These towers don't only represent an urban change, but also a new organization of our society in which a person or a family doesn't matter, especially if belongs to a Latino or African American culture. MVP-Most Valuable Poet Volume 1 is just the beginning of series of poems that inspires, and touch lives deeply. Poetry will never stay silent "and needs to be empowering as a weapon to infuse truth in honoring God with raps, arguments, reasons and, photos of what is happening to us. We are all been abducted by silence, however, poetry is a platform where we (the artists) are fearlessly genuine in telling our own stories in assuring that no one tells it for us". The streets are burning with tears. In 2015, more than 1300 people were killed by the police in an uncontrolled burst of violence more common of dictatorships. Poems have to say we are with victims against oppression; this spiral of violence embodies desensitization where people become heartless. We have to shout aloud in recognition that All Lives Matters This book depicts what is happening right now in the streets. It has been written by a man from a neighborhood where he has seen people fall and end up in prison or dead before their time (in front of his eyes). This book represents knowledge that promotes faith, reasons to stand up and resist, -but more so come together in changing the world through God's eyes where in Philippians chapter 4, verse 13 states: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. We need poets & spoken words unify to combat war with love, peace, & prosperity". John Navidad, Publisher and Poet

Horatio Alger Jr. (1832 - 1899) was a prolific 19th-century American writer, best known for his many young adult novels about impoverished boys and their rise from humble backgrounds to lives of middle-class security and comfort through hard work, determination, courage, and honesty. His writings were characterized by the "rags-to-riches" narrative, which had a formative effect on America during the Gilded Age. All of Alger's juvenile novels share essentially the same theme, known as the "Horatio Alger myth" a teenage boy works hard to escape poverty. Often it is not hard work that rescues the boy from his fate but rather some extraordinary act of bravery or honesty. The boy might return a large sum of lost money or rescue someone from an overturned carriage. This brings the boy-and his plight-to the attention of a wealthy individual.

This is my book of thoughts and ideas accumulated over the years. I started writing hip hop songs at the age of fifteen. I grew up in an urban area and I found comfort in listening to songs that reflected similar living conditions to the ones I lived in. I would often write stories about my life and how I felt. This book is a compilation of those stories in poem form.

Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., Pragmatism, and the Jurisprudence of Agon

Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., Pragmatism, and the Jurisprudence of Agon

Allen Mendenhall

Bucknell University Press
2016
sidottu
This book argues that Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., helps us see the law through an Emersonian lens by the way in which he wrote his judicial dissents. Holmes’s literary style mimics and enacts two characteristics of Ralph Waldo Emerson’s thought: “superfluity” and the “poetics of transition,” concepts ascribed to Emerson and developed by literary critic Richard Poirier. Using this aesthetic style borrowed from Emerson and carried out by later pragmatists, Holmes not only made it more likely that his dissents would remain alive for future judges or justices (because how they were written was itself memorable, whatever the value of their content), but also shaped our understanding of dissents and, in this, our understanding of law. By opening constitutional precedent to potential change, Holmes’s dissents made room for future thought, moving our understanding of legal concepts in a more pragmatic direction and away from formalistic understandings of law. Included in this new understanding is the idea that the “canon” of judicial cases involves oppositional positions that must be sustained if the law is to serve pragmatic purposes. This process of precedent-making in a common-law system resembles the construction of the literary canon as it is conceived by Harold Bloom and Richard Posner.

Winning came naturally to Al Unser Jr. Born into a racing family, he had a gift for finding the fast line on the track. By the time he was nine years old, he could draw the quickest way through the corner on paper and intuitively apply his sketch while on the go kart track. By his teen years, the innate sense for the fast way made him unstoppably quick when he was racing through the woods on a snowmobile. As his career progressed from the kart track victories to following in the footsteps of his famed uncle, Bobby, and father, Al, the wins grew in stature from junior titles to the very top echelon of his sport. Two Indy 500 victories. An IndyCar championship. Sportsman of the Year. In addition, Unser was not just a winning driver--he also possessed a boisterous and lovable personality. The fans and the press adored him. Al Unser Jr. was on the top of world. A Checkered Past tells that story--but it doesn't stop there. His gifts as a driver and his easy affability were the public persona. Behind the scenes, his appetite for drugs and alcohol were destroying his private life. Spurred on by his spiraling substance abuse problem, his marriage turned volatile. When he retired as a driver, the trouble amplified. Domestic violence arrests. Multiple DUIs. Repeated visits to rehab centers. Divorce. Financial ruin. A dark dive into depression and isolation that led to a suicide attempt. Unser's battle to climb out of that cave is one of the great stories in motorsports. A Checkered Past is an unblinking look at how even our most celebrated sports heroes struggle with human frailty. Turn the page, and you'll discover an inspirational story of triumph, tragedy, and the road to recovery.
