When She Became You / Songs to Suzanne, by award-winning poet Michael Jennings, chronicles a love story, the light and the shadows, over most of a lifetime, from the passionate, surreal, goddess-like portraits of the opening "Where She Dances" section to the devastating dark dirges of the "Lost Hallways" sequence: a record of love as lived and a testament to the fact that both love and poetry exist at the intersection of the sacred and the profane. These are intimate and private lyrical exultations that affirm what is most valuable and most powerful in our shared expressions of what it means to be most fully human and deeply alive. They are the work of a magisterial poet at the pinnacle of his craft.

These stories address ways that war alters lives in ways that persist long after the last firefight or strafing. In "Night Mission," two Marines who scan aerial photography make an appalling discovery about the targets they have identified. "Cadence Count" follows two Army draftees, one white and one Black, through weeks of basic training that turn surreal. In "Papa-san's Private War," a Vietnamese peasant seeks revenge after an obtuse lieutenant refuses to compensate him for the water buffalo the troops at a firebase have killed by mistake. In "The Inland Sea," the narrator searches in his history as the grandson of an educator and the cousin of a military officer for clues to his own decision to marry the wrong woman. "Harry and the Ugly Rug" traces the descent of Harry Waters from his service as a fighter pilot in Korea, where he strafed fleeing civilians, to his retirement near an American air base in Germany, where his guilt fuels delusions. In "Dawn Call," an Air Force veteran who teaches English in Saudi Arabia takes a predawn jog in Riyadh. He flings epithets like "Your Emptiness" at God for causing the death by suicide of a close friend.

Michael Jennings is a shaman of the natural world, a shaman who is gifted with the miracle of the written word. In this new collection, as in his previous books, Jennings, like the late Ted Hughes, is especially effective in capturing the deepest essence of animals. He writes of geese rising, "finding their bearings, gathering the sun's power / into their left eye and along their immaculate, outstretched / identical bodies...," of a hawk's "granite facemask / blank as an angel's," and a Horned Owl, the poet sees as a "...bleary buccaneer, age-ridden / and world-weary / in the circling forest of blood and thunder."The Moon's Children is a stunning poetic achievement.-Larry D. Thomas, Member Texas Institute of Letters, 2008 Texas Poet LaureateHis gift is to reflect the immensity of life, both exterior and interior.-Susan Deer Cloud, Stone Canoe

Where She Dances is a journey through a harsh and almost Biblical desert landscape into a garden world, celebrating the various goddess dances of death, love and transformation along the way, a story of beauty and terror, inner and outer weather, unrelenting sun and the oases of nightfall.

Graduating from college at the height of the Vietnam War, Peter Dandridge is in love with a medical student, Stephanie Ames, and longs to splice his life with hers. A football injury should shield him from the draft, and his mother threatens to reserve a cemetery plot if he seeks combat duty. Still, guilt and a longing to confront danger pull him into the war.He ends up in Vietnam as a self-described schoolmarm in jungle fatigues. In a fellow soldier named Rabinowitz, Peter finds a target for his frustration.A spy plot and a Viet Cong ground attack cut short Peter's tour of duty and send him home with a black mark on his service record, along with lingering questions about Rabinowitz. Stephanie prods him to seek answers, and with a small showing of soldierly valor, he does. Those answers prove strange, horrific and-at least by Peter-wholly unforeseen.

Addresses the issues facing NGOs as their role and remits expand. NGOs have grown in scale and remit and have been given a role by states and official aid organizations that fundamentally challenge many of the assumptions that accompanied their creation. There is a general, albeit vague, feelingthat NGOs are no longer what they used to be. Yet aside from the obvious differences in scale of activity and resources, there is little understanding of the processes that have led NGOs to be the types of organization that theyare today. This book challenges the static picture of the NGO industry, to inform the debate on the relief-to-development continuum, and to provide an historical account of key issues facing NGOs today. Each chapter, a case study based on extensive fieldwork, seeks to identify and analyse the roots of problems, past and present, which have led to the current dilemma facing charitable organizations.
