“Through the gift of writing, I have learned to express my thoughts and ideals in a manner of being best understood. I have tried hard not to allow negative thoughts or crazy ideals to interfere with anything meaningful and productive in my life.” Says author Alim M. Bey, “Do not allow yourself to come up short. Each of us has been given a gift at birth, and from that gift, we must learn to be positive, and wherever our aspirations fall, it should be our best.” Part of a poem in Poetry at Its Ripest: Do you have a friend? Do you have a friend who has fallen and can’t get up? And in all efforts made, still it isn’t enough Do you have a friend who’s off track? This is known knowledge and a fact Do you have a friend refusing to give life another try? During the talks and walks, you only see tears in their eyes I saw such a friend the other day, in as many years Need to clean up change clothes, hair hung below his ears Do you have a friend you want to help in good taste? Recognized you, turned walked away, leaving no trace
"The world is so sad and solemn," wrote Nathaniel Hawthorne, "that things meant in jest are liable, by an overwhelming influence, to become dreadful earnest; gaily dressed fantasies turning to ghostly and black-clad images of themselves." From the radical dualism of Hawthorne's vision, Samuel Coale argues, springs a continuing tradition in the American novel. In Hawthorne's Shadow is the first critical study to describe precisely the formal shape of Hawthorne's psychological romance and to explore his themes and images in relation to such contemporary writers as John Cheever, Norman Mailer, Joan Didion, John Gardner, Joyce Carol Oates, William Styron, and John Updike. When viewed from this perspective, certain writers—particularly Cheever, Mailer, Oates, and Gardner—appear in a new and very different light, leading to a considerable reevaluation of their achievement and their place in American fiction. Mr. Coale's long interviews and conversations with John Cheever, John Gardner, William Styron, and others have provided insights and perspectives that make this book particularly valuable to students of contemporary American literature. Coale links contemporary writers to an on-going American romantic tradition, represented by such earlier authors as Melville, Harold Frederic, Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor, and Carson McCullers. He explores the distinctly Manichean matter of much American romance, linking it to America's Puritan past and to the almost schizophrenic dynamics of American culture in general. Finally, he reexamines the post-modernist writers in light of Hawthorne's "shadow" and shows that, however similar they may be in some ways, they differ remarkably from the previous American romantic tradition.
Welcome to the epic world of Prasinos. Gods, heroes, and monsters roam the land. Danger, adventure, and romance await. And every bargain comes with a steep price... Three full-length novels retelling Greek myths from the perspective of mythical monsters. Over 1,100 pages of romantic young-new adult fantasy! Includes the complete trilogy: Siren Daughter, Gorgon Born, and Chimera Child. A journey for immortality. Agathe is a siren, a creature once known for their enthralling songs. But her ancestors’ exile locks her and her family deep beneath the Akri Sea. She resigns herself to an unremarkable life with only her beloved mother for company. Yet when everything she holds dear is stripped away during a bitter winter, she embarks on a deadly quest. One for the most precious gift in all the realms: immortality. A quest for revenge. Chloe is a gorgon, the daughter of legendary Medusa—once known for venomous snake hair and a stone-turning gaze. With her mother murdered and buried, life on an isolated island with two cruel aunts feels anything but legendary. But when the truth of who her father is and what he’s done comes to light, she leaves behind all she knows. Anything to seek revenge against those who did her mother harm: god-king Zeus and his brother Poseidon. A fight for freedom. Melina is a chimera, a fire-breathing creature able to adapt to her environment. But the secrets within her goddess-queen mother’s court render her caged and considered nothing more than a beast to control. When a young blacksmith seals another collar around her neck, a dangerous chain of events unfolds, leading to her exile from the court she called home and the mother she doesn’t know how to live without. A mother who lied about everything—including the details of who Mel is and who actually birthed her.
To save myself, I bargain with the gods. To save my family, I bet my own life. Sirens were once known for irresistible songs. Yet centuries after our ancestor’s exile, we’re like every other creature in the Akri Sea—unremarkable, forgotten, mortal. When famine sweeps through the sea and drags my mother to the realm of the dead, I refuse to be like the rest of my kind. I refuse to die forgotten. To change my fate, I journey to the city of the gods. To gain immortality, I bargain with god-king Zeus in his gilded palace. And with the aid of a deity whose smoldering eyes pull emotions out of me I never thought possible, I might just succeed in the three trials to come. I’ll risk anything for immortality. But when an opportunity presents itself, will I risk everything to save my family? If you like Greek mythology, slow-burn romance, and legendary creatures, you’ll love Siren Daughter, the first book in an enthralling fantasy trilogy.
This is a book of collected poetry, art work, and a short story that started about twelve years ago. The poetry started with a simple muse. A thought that required no thought what-so-ever. The inspiration and the desire started with a girl sitting in the same classroom, later writing became a pleasant way to pass the time. The art work started with a severe case of writers block, which lead to drawing lines on paper. It isnt really supposed to look like anything, just whatever is seen in the eye of the beholder. The short story came about from the passing of someone that was dear to the heart. A grandma, who prayed every day for a grandson she barely even knew. The Pink Ribbon is a short story about a little girl with a pink ribbon tied in her hair, fear, and death. There are two wishes that are made with this book. Helping those with cancer is the first. Weather it is the treatment, care, or cure. A percentage of the authors proceeds will go to helping those that suffer from cancer. The second wish is helping the author find The Muse; the girl, who is now a woman, which first inspired and encouraged him to write over a decade ago.
