Poetic Memoirs of A Broken Man by Alvin Witherspoon Pdf

Alvin R. Witherspoon is the eldest of 7 kids born to Marsha and Frank Witherspoon of Nashville Tennessee. Alvin grew up under the strictest of guidelines from a couple of very strong disciplinarians. At an early age Alvin fell into parenthood as he assumed his fatherhood duties of his first son Lajon. Realizing that his actions was now going to be viewed and possibly copied by his first son, he started to look at life a little more seriously than he had ever done before. Seven years later, Reginald, his second son was born. That's when he knew there was no doubt that the things in the past that had bothered him, would be just that, in the past, and that his life had to be filled at that point with positive examples in which his two boys would have to follow. It would be many, many years before Alvin would start to pen the emotions and thoughts that were bottled up inside him. Then all of a sudden, out of nowhere (although he really knows where it came from) he found the avenue from inside, which would allow him the ability to help free himself from some of the pain that had him bound for so many year. After finally coming to grips with the things that bothered him about some of the aspects of his past, the unthinkable happened. The one thing that no parent wants to deal with while they walk this earth."THE LOST OF A CHILD." Alvin writes about the many struggles that both he and his wife would encounter on a daily basis, as they fight to maintain a level of sanity that only those that has gone through a life-altering event such as this can truly understand. Alvin has always said, "As where some of my poems may be based on some of the suppressed thoughts and feelings of my life. It hasnever been my intent to hurt anyone by the poems that I write, although some of my friends and family that are very near and dear to me, may see themselves in my writings."

Broken Men by Fiona Reid Pdf

Shell shock achieved a very high political profile in the years 1919-1922. Publications ranging from John Bull to the Morning Post insisted that shell-shocked men should be treated with respect, and the Minister for Health announced that the government was committed to protecting shell-shocked men from the stigma of lunacy. Yet at the same time, many mentally-wounded veterans were struggling with a pension system which was failing to give them security. It is this conflict between the political rhetoric and the lived experience of many wounded veterans that explains why the government was unable to dispel the negative wartime assessment of official shell-shock treatment. There was also a real conflict between the government's wish to forget shell shock whilst memorialising the war and remembering the war dead. As a result of these contradictions, shell shock was not forgotten, on the contrary, the shell-shocked soldier quickly grew to symbolise the confusions and inconsistencies of the Great War.

Memoirs of a Broken Heart by Aline Alzime Pdf

Ever felt crushed by love? Almost lose yourself because of love? Ever wonder how you would find yourself again? I almost did not feel a thing for a while. I had trouble sleeping and all I could think about was the love I lost. I found myself in a place I did not recognize. I called it "rock bottom". I struggled with my thoughts and emotions. How do you end something that is not over in your heart? How do you rebuild "you" again? Start with being completely honest about yourself with yourself. Remain honest about your experience with love. Do not sugar coat your feelings or where love has taken you. Heartbreak allows time for reflection. Told in poetic style ... from the author.

Good Bones by Maggie Smith Pdf

Featuring “Good Bones”—called “Official Poem of 2016” by the BBC/Public Radio International. Maggie Smith writes out of the experience of motherhood, inspired by watching her own children read the world like a book they've just opened, knowing nothing of the characters or plot. These are poems that stare down darkness while cultivating and sustaining possibility, poems that have a sense of moral gravitas, personal urgency, and the ability to address a larger world. Maggie Smith's previous books are The Well Speaks of Its Own Poison (Tupelo, 2015), Lamp of the Body (Red Hen, 2005), and three prize-winning chapbooks: Disasterology (Dream Horse, 2016), The List of Dangers (Kent State, 2010), and Nesting Dolls (Pudding House, 2005). Her poem “Good Bones” has gone viral—tweeted and translated across the world, featured on the TV drama Madam Secretary, and called the “Official Poem of 2016” by the BBC/Public Radio International, earning news coverage in the New York Times, Washington Post, Slate, the Guardian, and beyond. Maggie Smith was named the 2016 Ohio Poet of the Year. “Smith's voice is clear and unmistakable as she unravels the universe, pulls at a loose thread and lets the whole thing tumble around us, sometimes beautiful, sometimes achingly hard. Truthful, tender, and unafraid of the dark....”—Ada Limón “As if lost in the soft, bewitching world of fairy tale, Maggie Smith conceives and brings forth this metaphysical Baedeker, a guidebook for mother and child to lead each other into a hopeful present. Smith's poems affirm the virtues of humanity: compassion, empathy, and the ability to comfort one another when darkness falls. 'There is a light,' she tells us, 'and the light is good.'”—D. A. Powell “Good Bones is an extraordinary book. Maggie Smith demonstrates what happens when an abundance of heart and intelligence meets the hands of a master craftsperson, reminding us again that the world, for a true poet, is blessedly inexhaustible.”—Erin Belieu

Five Men Who Broke My Heart by Susan Shapiro Pdf

In this honest, hilarious, fiercely intelligent memoir, journalist Susan Shapiro dares to do what every woman dreams of: track down the five men who'd broken her heart and find out what really went wrong. Between the ages of thirteen and thirty-five, Susan had plunged into love, heart-first, five times. One bad breakup was more hurtful and humiliating than the next. With insight and daring, Susan chronicles her six-month-long journey back down a road strewn with romantic regret. Although for years she'd blamed her boyfriends for their flagrant infidelity, ludicrous faults, and immature foibles, to her shock she can now suddenly pinpoint the exact moment where she herself screwed up each relationship. A successful freelance writer living in Manhattan, Susan Shapiro was in the midst of a midlife crisis she called her “no-book-no-baby summer.” Married for five years to Aaron, a workaholic TV comedy writer always on the road, she was beginning to wonder if she'd remain book- and babyless forever. Then the phone rang, and it was Brad, a college flame who'd become a Harvard scientist with a book coming out. Susan offers to interview him, and she winds up launching into all the intense, invasive questions she'd always wanted to ask him. To her surprise, he answers them! This ignites a spark that sends her on a cross-country jaunt back through her lust-littered past. While Brad is still single, she finds that Heartbreaks Number Two, Three, and Four are not. George, a theater professor, and Richard, a music biographer, are happily married with children. Tom, a handsome blond lawyer in L.A., is getting divorced. Just as it's becoming easy to worm her way back into her exes' good graces, she crashes head-on with David, a wry Canadian root canal specialist. ("It’s the equivalent of what you did to me emotionally," she tells him.) She then gut-wrenchingly relives the agony of splitting up with her first love all over again. Yet somewhere between the tantalizing what-ifs and bittersweet might-have-beens, she finds what she's been searching for all along. Part relationship manifesto, part confessional, and part valentine to the males in her life she adores, Five Men Who Broke My Heart is for anyone who has ever wondered what became of their first love. Or second, third, fourth, or fifth…
