Jagged Little Pill: The Novel

Jagged Little Pill: The Novel

Eric Smith; Alanis Morissette; Diablo Cody

Harry N. Abrams
2022
sidottu
Eric Smith's Jagged Little Pill: The Novel is a timely and gutsy YA story based on the Tony and Grammy Award-winning musical from Alanis Morissette, Diablo Cody, and Glen Ballard "Blends the spirit of some of our most beloved musical works into a new anthem: Teens long to be seen, heard, and for their voices to matter. An honest exploration of family and love, of identity and responsibility. Powerful and relevant." --New York Times bestselling author Laura Taylor Namey Swallow it down--what a jagged little pill . . . After the events at a party, five teenagers find their worlds are forever changed. Adopted Frankie struggles to see eye-to-eye with her mother--who would rather ignore a problem and preserve their "perfect" life than stand up for what's right. Jo just wants her mom to accept her queer identity--and is totally crushed when Frankie, the only person who really gets her, finds herself infatuated with someone new. Phoenix tries to find his place at the new school and balance wanting to spend time with Frankie but knowing he also has to help out with his sick sister at home. Bella wants to enjoy the end of high school and just head off to college without a hitch. Everyone expects Frankie's brother, Nick, to be the golden boy, but even though he just got into his dream school, he's not even sure he's a good person. Each of their stories intersects when Bella is sexually assaulted at a party, and it looks like the perpetrator might get away with it. Moving, heartfelt, and raw, Jagged Little Pill: The Novel draws on the musical's story and gives readers deeper glimpses of the characters. It's a story about the power of voicing your pain, standing up for what's right, and finding healing and connection.

The Saga of Skalheim

The Saga of Skalheim

Eric Smith

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2016
nidottu
A poem told in the form of intertwined narratives from each kingdom, "The Saga of Skalheim" evokes a bleak fantasy world reminiscent of Scandinavian sagas and ancient epics: In a land once ruled by the ancient Felrothi, three kingdoms of Skalheim vie for survival and dominance. Mylians migrants built their mighty citadel Mygdol around the ruins of an abandoned Felrothi Tower. The Fror built their fortress Frorguard into the frigid mountains below the Northlands. Groups of exiles arriving from the sea settled in the south and became known as the Fen clans. Years ago, Fen warlords invaded Mygdol, leading them to form an alliance with Frorguard. The two nations defeated the Fen and negotiated a hard-won truce. However, grim fortunes now await these tribes of Skalheim. The pact between the kingdoms of Frorguard and Mygdol is fraying and the resurgent Fen seek to exploit their mutual distrust. Most ominously, each nation has begun to discover the magicks of the extinct Felrothi race.

Brighten Everyone's Day with COFFEE POEMS Short poems for your business coffee club

I have had a love of coffee for years. I have a degree in Pharmacology-Toxicology where I ran the coffee club. Noone else wanted the responsibility to absolutely positively show up every day to make that all important fluid extraction. I learned a lot about keeping consumers happy. One time I used deionized (purified) water for the brew. I received loads of complaints. That coffee wasn't working. I hypothesize it was the lack of minerals in the water that prevented the extraction of the caffeine from the coffee grounds. Tap water worked better but needed to be de-chlorinated to improve the flavor. After graduation and years later I was again in charge of this all important job for my group with Pesticide Enforcement Branch of California Environmental Protection Agency. All went well for years until our group was moved into the main building in downtown Sacramento. I would enter the break room and see a pot half filled with "coffee" sitting on the heat being ruined. This is where I again took over coffee production.

Black Hole Factory

Black Hole Factory

Eric Smith

University of Tampa Press
2018
pokkari
A black hole is a region of space-time exhibiting such strong gravitational effects that nothing-not even particles and electromagnetic radiation such as light-can escape from inside it. In Black Hole Factory, poet Eric Smith writes his way into and out of such holes with a commitment to the history and craftsmanship of the well-shaped poem. He compresses experience, intellect, and feeling within concentrated stanzas of compelling density, but his use of tradition, rhyme, and meter also become sources of surprise and innovation in his hands. The book has poems that communicate impressive control, intellect, and wit-poems that cultivate ironic self-awareness and detachment on the part of both poet and reader. And then there are breakthrough moments giving up both irony and control in which poet and reader experience a kind of gravitational collapse powerful enough to deform and reshape space-time. In the end, he has shaped a profound and accomplished manuscript of deep personal engagement graced by moving, open flights of lyricism.

We the Raptors: 30 Players, 30 Stories, 30 Years

We the Raptors: 30 Players, 30 Stories, 30 Years

Eric Smith; Andrew Bricker

SIMON SCHUSTER

sidottu
We the Raptors: Thirty Players, Thirty Stories, Thirty Years is about the grinders, glue guys, bench heroes, and more. Alvin Williams, Jos Calder n, T. J. Ford, Jonas Valanciunas, Danny Green--whether regular or part-time starters, role players, key cogs, or even short-term stars--all of them felt blessed to call Canada home. Foreword by Kyle Lowry Amir Johnson immediately fell in love with the diversity of the country. From special events with fans to Zombie Walks down Yonge Street, few players connected with Toronto--on and off the floor--more than Amir. At the age of thirty, Anthony Parker--known as the "Michael Jordan of EuroLeague"--finally found his place in the NBA with the Raptors, a role that had eluded him as a young draftee and during his six seasons overseas. NBA vet and Toronto native Jamaal Magloire mentored younger players in the shadow of his brother's murder in Regent Park. Bismack Biyombo, a fan favourite for his big, burly play and endless energy, couldn't decide which team to sign with as a free agent, until a phone call from Masai Ujiri made the choice easy. The Junkyard Dog, Jerome Williams, drove himself to Toronto in a snowstorm, becoming in the process one of the most recognizable players in franchise history. Matt Bonner, dubbed the Red Mamba by none other than Kobe Bryant, emerged as a national hero after going toe to toe in the post with Kevin Garnett. Jorge Garbajosa, a superstar in Italy and his native Spain, gambled on a second career at the age of twenty-eight, becoming the hustle and heart of a playoff-bound Raptors squad only to see his NBA dreams crumble in a career-ending on-court injury. Every team has unheralded but dogged players but none more so than the expansion-era Raptors, a team that many NBA players and free agents often ignored--until the Raptors became one of the most interesting and winningest teams in the league. This rich tapestry comes alive in We the Raptors, as told by Raptors radio voice Eric Smith and Andrew Bricker through thirty exclusive interviews with former and current Raptors. Every bounce, every rebound, every elbow to the face--this is a rare view of the NBA through the eyes of those who made it to the pinnacle of their profession.

Transit USA is a collection of personal photographs I took of urban rail lines from 1977 to 2009. This book covers my first thirty-two years of urban rail photography and has images of urban rail systems in such places as Greater New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Francisco, and Michigan City Indiana. In certain cases, these photographs contain images of transit lines and structures that no longer exist so in that sense they are a photographic record of our vanished urban landscape and provide a look into the not-too-distant past for future generations to come.

At the dawn of the 21st Century, the Chicago Elevated or "L" was in the midst of a major transition. Every elevated line had either been completely rebuilt & renovated or was about to be. Dating to 1892, Chicago's famed elevated railroads had long since fallen into disrepair and either had to be rebuilt or torn down. Between 1994 and 1996, much to the consternation of the people who used the route, the South Side and Lake Street Ls of the Green Line had been closed for extensive rebuilding and repair. When in the spring of 2000 it was determined that the West Side's Douglas L was in similar need of a rebuild, it was decided to keep the trains running while the work took place so as to avoid the public outcry that had accompanied the Lake Street and South Side Lines closings. Yet by this time the Douglas L was in too great a state of disrepair to be saved as it was; necessitating that the line be completely torn down and an entirely new structure & stations be built in its place. The photographs in this book capture the Douglas L in its final months of operation as it was as well as the beginning of its renovation. The photos in this book also document the Paulina Street Connector before it was reintegrated into the transit system as the new Pink Line and the ancient Harrison Street Curve in the final years before it was torn down and replaced. This piece is essentially a written time capsule of the Chicago "L" in transition; a brief snapshot in time when it still had one foot in the 19th Century and the other in the 21st Century. This is the Chicago "L" in those final years when it was an antiquated relic of the past; before its ornate station houses which heralded its arrival in the 1890s gave way to the wrecker's torch for the sake of progress and making the "L" into a modern day rapid transit system that is the pride of Chicago and the Midwest.
