Spanning girlhood to motherhood, How to Baptize a Child in Flint, Michigan traces the lineage of four generations of a Flint, Michigan family--from the trailer park to the factory floor to, perhaps, a future far away. These poems examine the wreckage of the American Dream and ask who will answer for the promises we were made to believe as children: God? Industry? America? If we are all a part of the problem, are we are also all a part of the cure?

Have you ever wished you could create like Leonardo Da Vinci, have the business acumen of Richard Branson, the compassion of the Dalai Lama, or the brilliant mind of Nikola Tesla; or maybe the determination of an Olympic athlete, the flair of a renowned designer, or the strategic ability of a chess grand master? Have you ever wondered what it might be like to sit down and chat with Elizabeth I, seek advice from Abraham Lincoln, or ask for guidance from Nelson Mandela? Imagine having coffee with Babe Ruth, sitting for down for tea with Jane Austen, or shooting the breeze with Wolverine. Who in the world would you most like to meet and receive insight and guidance from? Who would have a place on your personal "dream team" of experts to guide you through life? Within this book, you will learn the hypnotic and neurolinguistic programming (NLP) principles that will allow you do just that. These principles are the secret steps to a pattern used by many of the world's most successful people, the CIA Pattern. This pattern will show you how to tap into the power of your unconscious mind and draw from it infinite amounts of wisdom, inspiration, and success.
