I was one of Gwendolyn's students and a lifelong follower of her work. I remember reading some of my own attempts at poetry to our group and I still remember her words to me, "Acie, we sing poetry. Yours sounds like the sports page of the Tribune." Well, I appreciated her criticism. It would have been easier for her to just write me off and say nothing or a perfunctory "nice". But she woke me and my next attempts started to progressively loosen until I was singing my poems. And she smiled at me and I was thrilled. She listened to my every word and to every student's every word. She didn't just drift away and let us go on and on. She hung with us. Attentive. All the students loved her and appreciated her presence with us. After all, she was quite a celebrity. She attained all four of the biggest awards in poetry. She succeeded Carl Sandburg as Poet laureate of Illinois, she became the Poetry Consultant at The Library of Congress, she won the Guggenheim Fellowship and, of course, she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for her second book, Annie Allen in 1950. It is difficult to summarize a life as fruitful and varied as hers in what I assume is a one hour play. I worked about 15 of my favorite Gwendolyn Brooks poems into the play. I have tried to capture her love of the life around her and her powers of observation. She just let the words flow like a river and I float upon it. Sit back and groove with her. That's what I do. I just go with it. I don't analyze anything. No explanations. I just groove. I am very happy that I knew her and I am happy that she lived.

This is a short book about 2500 words describing the phenomenon of the G-spot and urethral ejaculation during orgasms. Actually, the G-spot is analogous to the male's prostate gland. Both sit alongside the urethra and produce a similar fluid. In the male it is called semen and in the female, it is similar, but without any sperm. The fluid is ejaculated out of the urethra during sexual orgasms, but there is no urine in the fluid. Doesn't look like urine or smell like urine It is not urine. What is especially interesting is that both the prostate and G-spot are secondary orgasmic centers and the male and female can have an orgasm at those places.

So your teenage child is exhibiting symptoms of depression. You know there is something wrong. He or she used to seem perfectly normal. Full of life. Happy to be alive. Sure there were moments when emotions might flare up. That is part being a person. We might be more emotionally involved than necessary and sometimes we get carried away. Everybody does sometimes. Or at least they used to. Maybe they have outgrown the intensity of strong emotions and everything has been fairly mild and calm for years now.But we are talking about teenagers. Hormones acting upon them and causing feelings that they might not understand and might not be able to control. Human maturation takes such a long time. So many years we spend in our childhood and that includes as teenagers. They read all kinds of stuff in books and watch television. All kinds of stuff. And movies and of course, the internet. A myriad of a variety of programming they are exposed to. Other generations didn't have to deal with all that.I think parents should discuss everything with their teenager. All the stuff they read and watch. The ideas and experiences they see and read about. Talk about it with them. Don't make them take in inside and go secret with all their thoughts. You have to keep an open mind. It is up to you to accept your child's interests and attempts at personal learning. You can't be domineering when the child is sharing their real thoughts with you. If they are old enough to think for themselves then they are old enough for you to respect their rights as a person. Just like you expect to be respected
