Sinopsis

Pulsing with the energy of urban life, these poems traverse the gritty, playful and tender moments that shape our lives. From the thrill of evading the police in 'The Chase' to the nostalgia of 'New Shoes' and the sheer abandon of 'The Amusements', we are pulled deep into a world where chaos and community intersect.
With a clarion and uncompromising voice, Charles Lang maps a labyrinth of memories, blending sharp wit with darker undercurrents as he explores identity, masculinity, class and ecology. Whether reflecting on family, friendships or fleeting moments of euphoria, Lang offers an authentic snapshot of working-class lives, where beauty is found in both the mundane and the extraordinary; in the human and the more-than-human.
A sonorous celebration of language and place, The Oasis is a vivid ode to the city's streets and stories, a testament to resilience and belonging.

    A distraught Palestinian doctor processing his son's suicide finds common ground with the Israeli investigator who lost his best friend in the attack. 
    When an explosion devastates a peaceful neighborhood, Dr. Rami Amar receives news his son was the perpetrator. Shocked by their son's apparent radicalization, Dr. Amar and his wife, Lyda struggle to make sense of their loss, which is further intensified by the investigator, Major Shani of the Israeli Defense Forces. For Shani, this is personal. His childhood friend was killed in the attack. Following protocol, Shani confiscates Dr. Amar's travel documents and destroys his home, and the undercurrent of distrust between the two men is unmistakable.  
    With only questions and no answers, Dr. Amar decides to fix up a dilapidated local school to get the stone-throwing youths off the streets and into the classroom. But when it's impossible to acquire proper supplies, he turns to an unlikely source of help: Major Shani. To keep the students in school, learning lessons of peace, not hate, Dr. Amar promises after-school soccer matches. However, to keep his word, Dr. Amar needs even more help from Shani to break through a seemingly unmovable obstacle. Will Dr. Amar ever find out what really happened to his son? Will the men be able to unite for a common cause, or does the pain of past events run too deep?

    Here We Go Again evolved from Heartland Inspirations, Kentucky Wonder and Inspirations Anew for You, continuing my being inspired by life and the desire to lift up others. Everyone needs an occasional lift from life's challenges which tests our coping ability. I believe Here We Go Again will provide that moment for you. 
    Ronald Franklin Saia was born a grandson to a Italian from Sutera, Sicily. Growing up in rural Kansas gave Ronald a deep feeling in his soul for the outdoors. He hunted, trapped, rode his buckskin mare old Beauty, slept under the stars and cooked supper over an open camp fire. He is a real American patriot. While Ronald worked his way through college, he lived at home with his precious mother, Mary, and father, Victor. What a blessing it was for God to have chosen them for this parents. 
    For a time, he worked in Venezuela where he met his wife, Barb. He has traveled in South/Central America and Europe. Ronald's inspirations/poetry are straight from his heart and represent a true appreciation for creation and God's works along with life's experiences and personal observations.
