Tattered White Dress by K. Landry Pdf

A haunting, emotional collection of poems complete with imagery to bring the reader straight into the setting of each poem ranging from both structured to freeform poetry. These poems all have a sense of despair- cloaked in heartache and bathed in misery. The majority of the collection are viewed in my eyes and wrapped in metaphors so deep that it would take quite a poetic mind indeed to uncover the message lying bare beneath.

Greed by Kit Bladegrave Pdf

A love story. Set in hell. The daughters of a god find themselves having to meet an obligation they didn’t count on. They have been pledged to marry the Princes of Hell. Hell hath no fury like a goddess forced to marry a prince of the Underworld. The Kingdoms of Hell Saga is ongoing. Aidan has more scars on the inside than he does on the outside. Those scars, those memories of the past are tearing him apart and the only thing that keeps him from falling to pieces is a thread woven between him and a goddess of love whose gentle touch is his only salvation. Nell has a reputation for partying and spreading herself around among the males in several kingdoms. Definitely, not the reputation a girl—or a demi-goddess—covets. She doesn’t give a crap. She knows who she is and what she’s about. Even when her sisters are castigating her, laying blame upon her, she stays steadfast in her pursuit for the good. She’s unwilling to let anyone in. Her walls are sky-high. Can one of the princes of hell break through her barriers? She may save him, but maybe she needs to realize she needs saving as well.

At Home with Grief by Blake Paxton Pdf

What would you say to a deceased loved one if they could come back for one day? What if you can’t just ‘move on’ from grief? At Home with Grief: Continued Bonds with the Deceased chronicles Blake Paxton’s autoethnographic study of his continued relationship with his deceased mother. In the 90s, Silverman, Klass, and Nickman argued that after the death of a loved one, the bond does not have to be broken and the bereaved can find many ways to connect with memories of the dead. Building on their work, many other bereavement scholars have discussed the importance of not treating these relationships as pathological and have suggested that more research is needed in this area of grief studies. However, very few studies have addressed the communal and everyday subjective experiences of continuing bonds with the deceased, as well as how our relationship with our grief changes in the long term. In this book, Blake Paxton shows how a community in southern Illinois continues a relationship with one deceased individual more than ten years after her death. Through this gripping autoethnographic account of his mother’s struggles with a rare cancer, her death, and his struggles with sexuality, he poses possibilities of what might happen when cultural prescriptions for grief are challenged, and how continuing bonds with the dead may help us continue or restore broken bonds with the living.

Against the Ruins by Linda Lightsey Rice Pdf

On a December day in 1957, schoolteacher Louise Copeland and her six-year-old daughter, Lyra, come home to discover that Louise's gentle war-hero husband has suddenly become psychotic and has slashed his wrist with a razor blade. From that moment on, everything Louise has believed in unravels. In their inner-city Southern neighborhood, situated between a cemetery and a madhouse, a place of leafy oak trees and ghosts, three other people become involved in Louise's crisis: Rosa, the scandalous divorcee who entertains men for a living; Uta, the mysterious elderly lady who casts spells; and Max, the clairvoyant gravedigger. In 2004, as Louise is dying, her daughter returns home, and she and her mother confront how the family was torn asunder in 1957. Louise finally reveals the long-held secret that haunted the family for the next fifty years. This poignant novel is a gripping drama of madness and prejudice in which a mother leaves her daughter, ultimately, with hope. Praise for Linda Lightsey Rice "Against the Ruins contains such gorgeous writing that it nearly takes your breath away, with a sense of humor and a fine appreciation of the ridiculous even amid great agony." -Natalie Goldberg "Rice has a fiery, incandescent talent." -Pat Conroy
