Coming to Love My Darkest Places

Coming to Love My Darkest Places

"How could I stand to be so dim where the light couldn't reach me" asks the speaker in one of the opening poems of Jennifer Kelley's debut, Coming to Love My Darkest Places. With a fine-bone intellect and a crystalline voice, the poems in Kelley's collection interrogate this question more deeply with each page. Like the bouts of epilepsy described in the first section of the book, Kelley's work arises out of affliction-the feelings of being overtaken, stricken, possessed, in this case by addiction, mental disorder, and the reverberations of abuse. But the alchemy of the poems is to transform suffering into tenderness, loss into vision, grief into acceptance. At center, the book explores timeless questions of suffering, redemption, and the divine. "We cannot claim the infinite," Kelley writes. And this is the essence of these poems: Divinity is not something one acquires. Rather, the infinite is found in everyday wonder, the overlooked images, the contour of an interior life, accessed in these poems by the poet's honesty, humility, and stunning powers of observation. -Kim Young"In these stutter-stop times" Jennifer reaches into landscapes of belief and love and creation. She explicates our duplicities and our evasions. With honesty and with a poet's pungence. She not only reveals who she is, she reveals who we all are. I travel with her. It is a comfort. -Ann BuxieWith these poems, Jennifer Kelley masterfully addresses the struggle of who she is and what it has taken for her to be here. "I want to shrink / and grow at the same time. / And I couldn't be a noose, not with Jesus watching." Coming to Love My Darkest Places is a poetic journey of what acceptance is and the struggle to claim an identity that is outside of what is okay. "An atmosphere/ of hope and wish / of bait and switch / of swing and miss." Kelley lets us in on this journey of what it takes to negotiate, survive and grow in this world where everyone is supposed to be the same. "Ancient and full of dreams, we talk only about the weather." In this tome, the poet claims and reclaims her voice. These poems are strong, sometimes funny, well written, and vulnerable. Kelley's work is both beautiful and stark. The poems in Coming to Love My Darkest Places tell us they are here with us in this world. In this realm of poetry. They struggle towards joy.-Phil Taggart

Historical Dictionary of the World Health Organization

Historical Dictionary of the World Health Organization

Kelley Lee; Jennifer Fang

The WHO’s history spans a period of over six decades, with particular emphasis on the past twenty years. This has been a particularly busy period in WHO’s development, given the transition from international to global health cooperation, and thus the need to adapt to important changes in its operating environment. In some cases, WHO has been a direct part of the institutional arrangements that have been created, and has shared the increased funding, provided for global health. In other cases, the organization has had to adapt its activities and programs in response to rival initiatives. This has led to many changes, not only to the name of specific parts of WHO but the nature of their activities; and this second edition attempts to capture some of this institutional complexity. The Historical Dictionary of the World Health Organization covers the history of the WHO through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 1000 cross-referenced entries on key bodies, programs, events and people. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the World Health Organization.

“Who better to raise teens’ awareness of mental illness and health than the YA authors they admire?” —Booklist (starred review) “[A] much-needed, enlightening book.” —School Library Journal (starred review) Your favorite YA authors including Ellen Hopkins, Maureen Johnson, and more recount their own experiences with mental health in this raw, real, and powerful collection of essays that explores everything from ADD to PTSD.Have you ever felt like you just couldn’t get out of bed? Not the occasional morning, but every day? Do you find yourself listening to a voice in your head that says “you’re not good enough,” “not good looking enough,” “not thin enough,” or “not smart enough”? Have you ever found yourself unable to do homework or pay attention in class unless everything is “just so” on your desk? Everyone has had days like that, but what if you have them every day? You’re not alone. Millions of people are going through similar things. However issues around mental health still tend to be treated as something shrouded in shame or discussed in whispers. It’s easier to have a broken bone—something tangible that can be “fixed”—than to have a mental illness, and easier to have a discussion about sex than it is to have one about mental health. Life Inside My Mind is an anthology of true-life events from writers of this generation, for this generation. These essays tackle everything from neurodiversity to addiction to OCD to PTSD and much more. The goals of this book range from providing a home to those who are feeling alone, awareness to those who are witnessing a friend or family member struggle, and to open the floodgates to conversation.

Shunned by her family back home, she followed her best friend to New York with aspirations to start over. Now broke and homeless with two guys vying for her affection, she realizes she made a colossal mistake. If she gives in to her desires, will she only be breaking the rule she set for herself, or will she also be proving she's the disappointment her family sees her as? Kelly Cavenaugh is a lot of things: intelligent, sexy, vivacious, and a great friend. But the one thing she's determined to prove to herself and others is that she's not promiscuous. So why do a spoiled rich boy with a dark past and a former Marine with a high-powered job have to come along and try to break her resolve? Theo Roberts and Erik Murphy only have two things in common: they're both dangerously gorgeous, and have their sights set on Kelly. Everyone tells her Erik isn't someone she wants to get involved with, however, and Theo seems to be the total package. If Kelly allows herself to be with one of them, the choice should be easy. But it's complicated, and she'll find herself struggling to separate passion from reality while trying to establish her new life.

Methods in Observational Epidemiology

Methods in Observational Epidemiology

Providing a comprehensive picture of the design, conduct, analysis, and interpretation of non-experimental studies of both infectious and non-infectious diseases, the Second Edition of this widely used text has been thoroughly updated to take into account the numerous developments in epidemiology over the past decade. Since the first edition was published in 1986, additional sources of data have become available through the increasing use of computerized records for health-related purposes. Also, a better understanding of the uses and limitations of certain epidemiologic concepts has been gained. Modifications of traditional study designs, including nested case-control studies and case-cohort studies, are now more frequently employed. Biological markers of exposure, disease susceptibility, and disease itself are used in many studies and methods of statistical analysis have been further developed. All of these developments have been considered in writing the Second Edition. The authors cover the full scope of observational studies, describing in detail cohort studies, case-control studies, cross-sectional studies, and epidemic investigation. The use of statistical procedures is described in easy-to-understand terms. Sample size estimation, sampling, measurement, and measurement error are fully discussed. Each chapter in the second edition has been updated and several chapters have been expanded. Chapter 3, which summarizes sources of data on disease occurrence, includes several additional sources of data. Chapter 5, which describes modifications of traditional study designs, now contains nested case-control and case-cohort studies. Chapter 15, on other types of measurement, has been expanded to include sections on measurement in epidemiologic studies of the elderly and on biological markers since these have become major areas of epidemiologic research in recent years. Much of the material in Chapters 6, 7, and 9 on the analysis of data from epidemiologic studies is also new to this edition. Perhaps the greatest challenge for the authors in writing this Second Edition was to make some of the modern, frequently used methods of statistical analysis understandable to readers with a limited mathematical or statistical background. Although this book is intended for readers who have had introductory courses in epidemiology and biostatistics, even readers who do not fully comprehend the theory behind some of the techniques should understand the rationale for their use and be able to interpret results when they appear on a computer printout or in the literature. The Second Edition of this widely used text will serve as a practical resource for students and practitioners of epidemiology, public health and biostatistics.
