The Right to Remain Silent - Charles Brandt - Bog - Steerforth Press - Plusbog.dk

The Right to Remain Silent - Charles Brandt - Bog - Steerforth Press - Plusbog.dk

Wisecracking cop Lou Razzi''s zeal, dedication and talent for extracting information from suspects make him destined to rise quickly through the ranks... until a frame-up sends him to jail for two years. He loses his career, his marriage, and his baby daughter, and following his release from prison, he leaves the country for a sort of self-imposed exile in Brazil. Fifteen years later, an exonerated, more hardened Razzi comes back to serve a single day on the force and claim his pension. But that one day becomes a continuing education when Razzi is drawn onto a conspiracy and finds his old police tools fruitless in the wake of the Miranda decision.

Conversations with Diane di Prima - - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

Conversations with Diane di Prima - - Bog - University Press of Mississippi - Plusbog.dk

Diane di Prima (1934-2020) was one of the most important American poets of the twentieth century, and her career is distinguished by strong contributions to both literature and social justice. Di Prima and LeRoi Jones (Amiri Baraka) edited The Floating Bear (1962-69), one of the most significant underground publications of the sixties. Di Prima''s poetry and prose chronicle her opposition to the Vietnam War; her advocacy of the rights of Blacks, Native Americans, and the LGBTQ community; her concern about environmental issues; and her commitment to creating a world free of exploitation and poverty. In addition, di Prima is significant due to her challenges to the roles that American women were expected to play in society. Her Memoirs of a Beatnik was a sensation, and she talks about its lasting impact as well. Conversations with Diane di Prima presents twenty interviews ranging from 1972 to 2010 that chart di Prima''s intellectual, spiritual, and political evolution. From her adolescence, di Prima was fascinated by occult, esoteric, and magical philosophies. In these interviews readers can see the ways these concepts influenced both her personal life and her poetry and prose. We are able to view di Prima''s life course from her year at Swarthmore College; her move back to New York and then to San Francisco; her studies of Zen Buddhism; her fascination with the I Ching , Paracelsus, John Dee, Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, alchemy, Tarot, and Kabbalah; and her later engagement with Tibetan Buddhism and work with Chögyam Trungpa. Another particularly interesting aspect of the book is the inclusion of interviews that explore di Prima''s career as an independent publisher--she founded Poets Press in New York and Eidolon Editions in California--and her commitment to promoting writers such as Audre Lorde. Taken together, these interviews reveal di Prima as both a writer of genius and an intensely honest, direct, passionate, and committed advocate of a revolution in consciousness.

A Jar of Fireflies - Josie Di Sciascio Andrews - Bog - Mosaic Press - Plusbog.dk

A Jar of Fireflies - Josie Di Sciascio Andrews - Bog - Mosaic Press - Plusbog.dk

Revised Second Edition of International Award-Winning Poet Josie Di Sciascio-Andrews Since the 2015 release of A Jar of Fireflies, Josie Di Sciascio-Andrews has become a very significant internationally recognized poet. Critical Acclaim for Josie Di Sciascio-Andrews “Josie Di Sciascio-Andrews takes the universe, expanding from its zero point and molds it into a series of poems about intimacy, angst, memory, identity, death – and the hope – the impossible light that keeps us all going.” – Michael Mirolla, three-time Bressani Prize-winning author. “A Jar of Fireflies is about quests. In particular, it is about the quest in space and time to find a balance...The author’s journey concerns the discovery of certain moments of the past to complete her mission in poetry.”– Laurence Hutchman in Vallum: Contemporary Poetry “Josie Di Sciascio-Andrews collects memories like she collects sea glass along the shore. It’s her quiet polishing of word gems that first drew me to her work...What makes her work shine is her ability to pull in the reader with both her narrative style and sparkling-fresh metaphors.” – Debbie Okun Hill, poet/blogger/freelance writer
