In the tumult of our contemporary moment, poetry has emerged as an inviting, consoling outlet with a unique power to move and connect us, to inspire fury, tears, joy, laughter, and surprise. This generous anthology pairs fifty illuminating poems with poet and podcast host Pádraig Ó Tuama's appealing, unhurried reflections. With keen insight and warm personal anecdotes, Ó Tuama considers each poem's artistry and explores how its meaning can reach into our own lives. Focusing mainly on poets writing today, Ó Tuama engages with a diverse array of voices that includes Ada Limón, Ilya Kaminsky, Margaret Atwood, Ocean Vuong, Layli Long Soldier, and Reginald Dwayne Betts. Natasha Trethewey meditates on miscegenation and Mississippi; Raymond Antrobus makes poetry out of the questions shot at him by an immigration officer; Martín Espada mourns his father; Marie Howe remembers and blesses her mother's body; Aimee Nezhukumatathil offers comfort to her child-self. Through these wide-ranging poems, Ó Tuama guides us on an inspiring journey to reckon with self-acceptance, history, independence, parenthood, identity, joy, and resilience. For anyone who has wanted to try their hand at a conversation with poetry but doesn't know where to start, Poetry Unbound presents a window through which to celebrate the art of being alive.Ver libro

The Founding Presidents of the United States played a pivotal role in shaping the early direction of the nation. Their leadership laid the groundwork for the establishment of a new republic and the principles that would guide the country for generations. George Washington, the first President, set the tone for the presidency itself. His leadership during the Revolutionary War had earned him widespread admiration, and when the new government was formed, Washington was unanimously chosen as the first leader of the United States. His presidency established many of the precedents for the executive branch, including the creation of a Cabinet, the two-term limit, and the peaceful transfer of power. Washington’s leadership was tested with several challenges during his presidency, most notably the issue of neutrality in foreign affairs. As tensions rose between France and Great Britain, Washington carefully navigated the country through these conflicts, urging the nation to avoid entanglement in European wars. His Farewell Address warned against permanent foreign alliances and political factions, offering advice that would resonate throughout American history. Washington’s decision to step down after two terms also set a significant precedent that would shape the expectations of future presidents. Following Washington’s tenure, John Adams became the second President of the United States. A Federalist and a key figure in the early American Revolution, Adams had been a vocal advocate for independence and the formation of a strong central government. His presidency, however, was marked by political divisions and foreign policy struggles. The most notable event during his administration was the Quasi-War with France, which resulted from tensions over the French Revolution and the actions of the French government against American shipping.Ver libro
It all came to me one election day. It was on a warm California afternoon, and I had ridden down into the Valley of the Moon from the ranch to the little village to vote yes and no to a host of proposed amendments to the Constitution of the State of California.Ver libro

Orígenes de la Discapacidad es un testimonio poético y espiritual que recorre miles de años de historia para revelar cómo las personas con diferencias físicas fueron vistas en la antigüedad: no como errores, sino como parte de la creación misma. Desde los altares sumerios hasta los juicios modernos, este libro desnuda el peso del silencio, el castigo y la indiferencia que marcaron a generaciones enteras. Cada capítulo mezcla memoria, denuncia y fe, mostrando que el dolor no siempre trae lecciones, que el silencio puede ser tanto lápida como resistencia, y que incluso los dioses alguna vez fueron incompletos. Más que un estudio académico, este audiolibro es un viaje íntimo y simbólico que transforma la percepción de la discapacidad en algo sagrado. Su narración pausada y profunda invita a escuchar con el corazón abierto, dejando que cada palabra arda en la conciencia. Para quienes alguna vez se sintieron excluidos, invisibles o juzgados, Orígenes de la Discapacidad ofrece un mensaje claro: la historia no está completa sin nuestras voces.Ver libro
As Hispanic citizens rally to the political right, they will provide the economic, cultural, and political renaissance to save the American republic. Hispanics have moved materially to the political right in recent years—but why? What explains this marked and sustained shift? Bad Hombres details the radicalism of the modern Democratic Party, which has turned so many outcasts into political orphans. Steve Cortes provides evidence of the massive benefits of this Hispanic surge to the right. Cortes himself has been a key driver of this mass political movement, first as the lead Hispanic face of the 2016 and 2020 Trump campaigns, and presently as the primary Latino advocate for the New Right—patriotic populism. Given this vantage point, Cortes makes a powerful case that reveals how the teetering American nation will find a national rescue by entrepreneurial, tradition-minded Hispanic citizens.Ver libro
