  China Suite and other Poems

  Gillian Bickley

  • 0

  People, art and life. A record of a particular space in time. Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Sukhothai, Honolulu, Mexico City, northernmost Scotland, Andorra. Intimates and strangers. A mother and son seen for some seconds on a bridge in Shanghai. The emotions flowing between performer and conductor throughout a concert. The interpretation one creative artist gives to that of another's work. Gillian Bickley values the records we all make: — the heritage we may or may not preserve, what we choose to reveal of our lives, the constant interpretative understanding of the personal as well as the historical past, and the sacredness of memory. Here we find observation and reflection – on current affairs as well as people and places – and also the frisson produced by five "skulls" in a window, a funeral owl caught in hire-car headlights, and the realization that classical stories are re-enacted in our own lives. 
   " … a collection refined by the sensitivity and spirit of a poet who observes with the wonder and clarity of someone who is at once an insider and outsider. In her works, we see that Bickley's poetry has the ability to provide both spontaneous, on-the-spot immediacy and lingering, contemplative power…. Every city may have its gaps, ambiguities and unknowabilities, and the poet's intimate and candid reflections in this collection have successfully uncovered some of them." – Hilary Chan Tsz-Shan, Reviews, Asian Cha, February 2010 (Issue 10). 
  "You are lucky to have this poetry in your hand." — Karmel Schreyer. 
  "The poems in CHINA SUITE are unpretentious, direct, and even raw, like gemstones freshly dug out of a quarry. The psychological boundaries drawn to separate cultures from cultures, clans from clans, and individual from individual are utterly destroyed. An unnoticed observer, she trespasses ethnic taboos and social no-nos, and writes down whatever she sees without getting caught—in a graceful way." — Elbert S. P. Lee

  "Trust Shattered: Cases of Government Betrayal" is a meticulously researched, compelling narrative that unravels the complex tapestry of government actions and their profound impact on individual rights and societal trust. Spanning three distinct parts - Betrayed Bodies, Betrayed Liberty, and Betrayed Estates - this book delves into historical and contemporary instances where government intervention has overstepped, leading to significant ramifications on life, liberty, and property.Part 1, "Betrayed Bodies," exposes medical and scientific missteps and overreaches by the government. From the Tuskegee Syphilis Study to the FDA's drug revocations, it reveals how health policies and decisions have sometimes led to distrust and harm, rather than protection and healing.Part 2, "Betrayed Liberty," focuses on cases where the government’s actions have infringed upon civil liberties. It revisits moments like the McCarthy era, the Patriot Act, and the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting how fear and crisis have been catalysts for the erosion of freedoms historically championed by democratic societies.Part 3, "Betrayed Estates," shifts the focus to property rights. It examines eminent domain, zoning laws, intellectual property, and taxation policies, demonstrating how these can sometimes betray the very essence of ownership and economic freedom.Peter Serefine masterfully intertwines historical contexts with contemporary relevance, offering a critical perspective on government actions. Each chapter is not only a recount of events but also an analysis of their ethical, legal, and societal implications. The book questions the delicate balance between public good and individual rights, scrutinizing the justifications and consequences of government policies."Trust Shattered" challenges readers to ponder the role of government in their lives. It brings to light the precarious balance between safeguarding citizens and respecting their autonomy. The book’s in-depth examination

  A lot of people have a short attention span, but there are many fascinating stories that should be shared. In The Way I Heard It (2019), TV and podcast host Mike Rowe has written down thirty-five short stories just as he would tell them aloud, full of meandering, exaggerations, wry humor, and accommodations for pesky facts. His subjects range from Beethoven to the baker on the Titanic. They include famous actors, artists, inventors, statues, a space dog, even Adolf Hitler. Each story is accompanied by another from Mike’s life and career, which he calls the glue that holds them all together.

  If you enjoy political, historical or current event humor, take a load of this book.We will take the piss (or make fun of) The Illuminati, it's history and command and controlof every nation under the Sun.As I type this words Queen Elizabeth II is being buried. In this text, no shots will be taken at her life or legacy. It may differ during the audio post production. More knowledge may lead to many changes in your life. Truth is, the older one grows, the we realize, God controls over all, even a redneck cantankerous continues to learn this at almost an age north of 50. You are in for a treat because this version is not available in print, at least the last five or six chapters on audio.If you are a Bible reader, remember the Canaanites sacrificed their children to the god Molech. To me this became one of the cornerstone of these elite formations of this ‘Enlighted Group.’ Then it morphed into secret societies, free masonry, and evolved into controlling governments. Yet the Devil or Satan told Christ ‘All These Kingdoms Are Mine! So why are many of us are surprised after thousands of years, the control and command on Earth resides with him, the 13 Elite families, The Bilderberg Group, the CFR, The WEF, The WHO, The Octagon Group (Geneva Switzerland). In the off news sites, they are known as the Kazazian Mafia. This text is not designed to provide the exact origins of the Illuminati. There are several sites one may visit for this information. This author connects the past constructions of this group, shows how it is divided to conceal itself. The audio version will demonstrate the Red Neck or Southern twangs of pronunciation. Their may exist some decent secret societies but to my knowledge, of they are secret, then how do they help we brothers and sisters? I have read of the White Dragon and the Red Dragon Societies and a MC Club called SOS. Once a soldier in Iraq told us on a Humvee ride in Ramadi he was a member of the SOS. I replied, ‘Well if it’s so secret,
