Lessons On Virtually Everything (LOVE): A Collection of Words and Thoughts, Volume IV is Ms. Whitted's fourth book of poetry. Pulling from past and present experiences, this collection is a reminder that everything in life comes down to one important word - love. In Ms Whitted's own words: "Somewhere along the line, we placed limits on what love truly means. Love is so much more than romantic relationships or the feeling we get when we "fall in love". It should be the root of all that we do. "Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." (1 Corinthians 13:7). When given to self first, love can't help but flow into each life we touch. The poems in this book are reflections of that love. They are things that I've seen, felt, and learned up to this point. It is my birthday gift to myself in celebration of how far I have come while acknowledging all that I have yet to see. " Enjoy an excerpt from "Shrink" So, this is me.I've done the work to heal the hurtand improve my state of mind.Not everyone is worthy of my essence, my wisdom, my touchor my time.I will carry myselfas a woman in high demand.If this is too much for you, I understand, but I will not apologize.I will not take my eyes off my prize.I'll still root for youbut not at the expense of my soul.Call me cocky.Call me brash.Call me arrogant.Call me bold.Whatever boosts your ego is not my concern.I'm certain that this directionis one that I have earned.Through falling, I've learned.Through self-love, I've gotten up, dusted myself off, filled my own cupand made the changes to securemy physical and spiritual wealth. Allow me to reintroduce myself.I'm a woman no longer interested in shrinkingbecause it is bad for my health.

A finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Biography: the fascinating, rediscovered story of a writer who changed English poetry and explored the dark side of sexuality through a woman's voice. On October 15, 1838, the body of a thirty-six-year-old woman was found in Cape Coast Castle, West Africa, a bottle of Prussic acid in her hand. She was one of the most famous English poets of her day: Letitia Elizabeth Landon, known as L.E.L. What was she doing in Africa? Was her death an accident, as the inquest claimed? Or had she committed suicide, or even been murdered? To her contemporaries, she was an icon, hailed as the "female Byron," admired by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, the Bront s, and Edgar Allan Poe. However, she was also a woman with scandalous secrets, and her death prompted a cover-up that is only now unravelling. Lucasta Miller, acclaimed author of The Bront Myth, meticulously pieces together L.E.L.'s lost career, revealing her as a brilliant woman who embodied a seismic cultural shift, the missing link between the Romantics and the Victorians. A triumph of original research and riveting storytelling, L.E.L. restores a fascinating figure to her place in history.
An electrifying novel about the complicated friendship between two ambitious writers and the ultimate artistic betrayal: one writes a book based upon the other's life, revealing everything...from the author of Reese's Book Club Pick Before We Were Innocent. After a steady descent from literary stardom, Lane Warren is back. She's secured a new book deal based off the life of her sometime friend and, more often, rival Gala Margolis. Lane's only problem is that notorious free spirit Gala has been missing for months. Ten years earlier, Gala was a charming socialite and Lane was a Hollywood outsider amidst the glittering 1960s L.A. party scene. Though they were never best friends, Lane found Gala sharp and compelling. Gala liked that Lane took her seriously. They were both writers. They were drawn to each other. That was until Gala's star began to rise, and Lane grew envious. Then Lane did something that she wouldn't ever be able to take back...changing the trajectories of both their lives. Bold, dazzling, and crackling with tension, L.A. Women plunges readers into the legendary parties and unparalleled creativity of iconic Laurel Canyon, while exploring the impossible choices women face when ambition collides with intimacy. At what cost does great art emerge? And who pays the price?

Non possediamo nulla di 'pi autentico' di "Red Man's Origin". "Red Man's Origin" semplicemente un articolo in lingua inglese dal anno 1896, tradotto ora per la prima volta in Italiano dalla artista veronese Francesca Bortolaso. E' un miracolo che sopravviva. Riproduce le parole Cherokee di George Sahkiyah (Soggy) Sanders cos tradotte in lingua inglese da William Eubanks. Sanders era un purosangue che parlava poco l'inglese e sapeva leggere e scrivere solo in Cherokee. William Eubanks (1841-1921) era il figlio di un padre adottivo bianco e di una mamma Cherokee. Il suo nome Cherokee era Unenudi. Riconosciuto come uno degli intellettuali eccezionali Cherokee del tardo diciannovesimo secolo, us lo pseudonimo Cornsilk nei suoi articoli di giornale, molti dei quali di genere politico o antropologico. Fu un membro della Keetoowah Priestly Society ed un traduttore per la Nazione Cherokee fino a quando non fu sciolta nel 1906. L'ORIGINE DELL'UOMO ROSSO un prezioso frammento di narrativa nazionale Cherokee sul passato, presente e futuro di questo popolo.
