Synopsis

The Bag Story explores the captivating history of bags, revealing their evolution from simple pouches to complex symbols of status and style. This journey through time highlights how bags mirror cultural shifts, technological advancements, and the ever-changing landscape of fashion.

 
Intriguingly, the book unveils the dual nature of bags, examining both their practical functionality and their symbolic representation across different historical periods. The book argues that the history of the bag is a microcosm of human history, offering insights into societal values and aspirations through the analysis of bag form and function. For example, bags have historically communicated social status and gender roles, making them more than mere accessories.

 
The Bag Story progresses chronologically, beginning with ancient civilizations and continuing through the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and the emergence of the modern bag industry.

    Married just a few months, Marianne gradually discovers that her husband is self-centered and domineering. Attractive and charming in public, he belittles her in private, imposes his habits and favors his own career over that of his wife. Psychological violence is compounded by physical violence.
    Marianne learns to decipher the moods of this perverse man, and implements strategies to avoid conflict and protect her three children. Not daring to talk about it, and because she thinks her children need their father, she lives ten years in the lion's den. 
    Years after her divorce, she still dreads returning home. Time is what she needs to rebuild her life. 
    Now, she offers a thoughtful account of the mechanisms of narcissistic perversity and withdrawal, and urges women to stop keeping silent.

    BC and Yukon Book Prizes, Winner of the Bill Duthie Booksellers’ Choice Award, 2023We all share a common humanity. No matter how long or difficult the path ahead, we are all one.Reconciliation belongs to everyone. In this profound book, Chief Robert Joseph, globally recognized peacebuilder and Hereditary Chief of the Gwawaenuk People, traces his journey from his childhood surviving residential school to his present-day role as a leader who inspires individual hope, collective change, and global transformation.Before we get to know where we are going, we need to know where we came from. Reconciliation represents a long way forward, but it is a pathway toward our higher humanity, our highest selves, and an understanding that everybody matters. In Namwayut, Chief Joseph teaches us to transform our relationships with ourselves and each other. As we learn about, honour, and respect the truth of the stories we tell, we can also discover how to dismantle the walls of discrimination, hatred, and racism in our society.Chief Joseph is known as one of the leading voices on peacebuilding in our time, and his dedication to reconciliation has been recognized with multiple honorary degrees and awards. As one of the remaining first-language speakers of Kwak'wala, his wisdom is grounded in Indigenous ways of knowing while making space for something bigger and better for all of us.

    State of the Union 1986

    The 1986 State of the Union Address delivered February 4, 1986, was delayed following the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster which killed its seven crew members. Reagan reports the U.S. is the economic miracle to which the world once again turns, with record economic growth and inflation cut from over 12 to under 4 percent.  
    But the federal budget system is broken. “We do not face large deficits because American families are undertaxed; we face those deficits because the Federal Government overspends.” “We must proceed with Grace commission reforms against waste.” Tax cuts have done more to “help America's economy break free than any program since John Kennedy's tax cut almost a quarter century ago.” 
    We “must redouble our efforts for freer and fairer trade.” We oppose legislation touted as providing protection that raises prices for us all.  
    We see a renaissance in education and support “vouchers that give parents freedom of choice”. Hundreds of billions of dollars in poverty programs have led to a breakdown of the family and deteriorating schools. As Franklin Roosevelt said, “Welfare is a narcotic, a subtle destroyer of the human spirit.” Welfare “should be judged by how many of its recipients become independent of welfare.” 
    Reagan sees technology as the solution to “the greatest problem of the 20th century. A security shield can one day render nuclear weapons obsolete and free mankind from the prison of nuclear terror.”  
    “The American dream is a song of hope… to discover a new universe inside a tiny silicon chip or a single human cell.” “So, let us go forward to create our world of tomorrow in faith, in unity, and in love. God bless you, and God bless America.”

    First published as a print collection in 1992, when the writer lived in the UK, Rotten Pomerack now - with “voiceprint” - more clearly presents the writer’s voice and instinct for storytelling. Poem stories move from the Caribbean and other places to the UK, often examining the paradoxes and complexities of existence. For the print publication, Michael Horowitz commented that the collection was about “the proverbial slipping on a ‘rotten pomerack’ (French Creole for the cashew fruit) which can make events take an unexpected turn.
