We decide who we are and when all Americans make the decision to stand up, speak out, and take action, hope will rise again.

Marty Ellis has been haunted most of her life by a recurring dream about a pioneer woman who lives in a distinctive stone house. She sets out on a quest to find the house in her dreams, which she believes is a real place. Quite by chance Marty finds The House in a backcountry settlement on the west coast of the North Island of New Zealand, buys it and moves in, determined to find out the history of The House. She learns there was a mystery about the wife of the original owner of her house, but no one seems to know what this mystery is. She makes friends and becomes a part of a thriving back-blocks community, and also meets Giorgio, a teacher from Wellington who spends his holidays researching the nearby site of an old Mission House. He helps with her quest for information about the builders of The House, and their friendship develops into something more ... This story is a reflection of life in many remote New Zealand communities, and is filled with memorable characters. I grew up in places similar to the setting for this novel, and know firsthand how people are always there for each other through good times and bad.
A riveting true story of one family -- and one 6-year-old boy in particular -- caught up in the displacement of children as World War II hit the UK. 1.5 Million children, pregnant women and other vulnerable people such as the disabled, were evacuated to safer countryside locations in just two days. It was 18 July 1940, when the British government declared Guernsey an open port and communicated this to the Germans. Families had the hard decision as to whether their children would stay during a German occupation or be evacuated to England. In Guernsey, the evacuation, timed to happen the day after the announcement, was organized by local schools. The evacuees expected to be in England for a few weeks, but the German occupation of Guernsey Island on 30th June 1940 turned into five years and four months of family separation. No one could have predicted that the evacuation of Guernsey would last five years. Older children who were evacuated to England found jobs, fell in love, and decided to stay in the places where they had been settled. Some young children were eager to return to Guernsey, but found it difficult to re-acquaint themselves with their real families. Still other children returned but felt torn because they had been so happy with the foster parents with whom they were placed. This is the story of one such family, and a six-year-old who becomes separated from them and somehow manages to survive and transcend all challenges. I can't help but wonder how the young children of today would do in similar circumstances. This is a tale that certainly makes us think.
A different gently illustrated read-aloud children's tale from a 'worm's-eye' point of view.An exciting day at Squirm Worm School Tested by a giant robot bird and challenged by natural threats above and below ground, some important life lessons are learned.
Silence and Articulacy in the Poetry of Medbh McGuckian
Maureen E. Ruprecht Fadem
Lexington Books
2019

Silence and Articulacy in the Poetry of Medbh McGuckian is an innovative contribution to the scholarship on Belfast poet, Medbh McGuckian. This book considers the entire oeuvre of this globally respected Irish woman writer, a member of the contemporary avant-garde with now fifteen (U.S. published) volumes and numerous individual publications. The author positions McGuckian’s oeuvre as political and historical poetry and offers a provocative new assessment of its crafted silences. This work argues that it is the muted character of McGuckian’s poems—a consequence of a defamiliarized language, the overwhelming sway of the image, and a profusion of intertextual quoting—that constitutes their agency and force. The sciences are read as a response to the precarious positionality of poet and speaker at the site of “disaster” and the limits of articulacy. This book argues, in line with Rukeyser’s notion of the life of poetry, the life of silenceis located in the poems’ production, as revealed and embodied self-reflexively, and the exponential prolonging of its consumption. This oeuvre, in its public reception, operates as a formidable counter-discourse by converting the reading into a much protracted task that redistributes the temporal economy of poetry and disrupts given, everyday structures of time, place, and the order of things.

Every Life's a Story: How & Why to Write Your Memoirs

The recent past is becoming history at a frantic pace; we - that's you and me - have a real responsibility to fill the gap in the social history of the 20th century. Today, the extended family rarely has an opportunity to sit down and share stories from the past. This has brought about a scarcity of social history for the 20th century and created a virtual chasm of lost information. Our generation is the only one that can provide the stories and the information to do this. Our experiences and lessons learned really do matter as they provide the background for the attitudes and behaviours of our children and grandchildren as they struggle to find meaning in their own lives. There are worlds of meaning to be expressed - and it's our place to provide that. For the well-being of future generations, we have a responsibility to record our memoirs in a manner that can be kept for future understanding as well as for amusement. As you read through this guidebook, you can use the provided pages to capture and jot down the fleeting memories that may be triggered, as you relate the words to your own life experiences. This can become a rich collection of triggers for your writing as you move on to create your own memoir stories to share with your loved ones . . . and others who will enjoy and benefit from them. Don't wait; begin to gather your memories today.

`This book is outstanding. It addresses a definite need in schools today and will be very effective in helping people understand some of the school climate-related issues. If educators understand problems and their causes and have potential methods of solving them, only good can come from it' - Charles F Adamchick, Jr, Teacher/Educational Consultant, Blairsville High School and Learning Sciences International Blairsville, PA In this book for headteachers and other school leaders, the authors explain how administrators, teachers, parents, and staff can all work together to create a positive school climate. Principals and teachers have very different perspectives of the school and different pressures that they are working under. But everyone is working toward the same goal-improved student achievement. By breaking down the misconceptions and misunderstandings that commonly crop up between teachers, principals, parents, volunteers, and other school staff, these different groups can work together to solve problems and build a culture of caring and respect. This book is authored by a psychologist and a teacher and the ideas and strategies are based on 200+ interviews with principals and teachers. Some of the problems addressed include gossip, cliques, negativity, and competition - the authors provide innovative solutions for overcoming these energy and morale sapping problems. The authors also offer preventive strategies that help principals create a climate of trust and support and stop problems from developing in the first place.

The Mischief Cafe: poetry at home with toast (buttered!) & tea

Poetry is for life, not for ivory towers. At Tweetspeak Poetry, it has been our delight to bring poetry to people, right where they are. To bring together established poets and poets taking first steps. And to invite those who thought they could never be a part of poetry to dip in without fear. Because we strongly believe poetry is for life. Somewhere along the way, as part of our poetry merry-making, we opened The Mischief Caf . It's a "welcome" space on our website. But also somewhere along the line, it began to feel like more. Maybe The Mischief Caf should not just be virtual, we started to think. And so it began. The idea of a traveling caf , bringing poetry to people right where they are. In their own homes, amidst friends. With toast (buttered) and tea. It's an idea that's still working itself out, but for now, sometimes a member of our Tweetspeak Poetry team will come to tea with poetry. And sometimes poetry lovers won't want to wait for that. So they'll make a little poetry mischief on their own. This book describes the idea of a Mischief Cafe and how to run one, includes over thirty poems from T. S. Poetry Press titles (and from the conversation with fans that started the idea of this book), and has blank pages for new poems that caf gatherers can write together over time using (or not) the 34 poem title prompts provided throughout. Overall, the book gives you everything you need to run your own Mischief Cafe (or attend one): an explanation you can read aloud at your gathering, poems to share, prompts to inspire. Everything, that is, except the toast (buttered ) and tea.
