    Son of Birmingham - A Memoir

    Today's Birmingham—led by Mayor Randall Woodfin—is a phoenix rising from the ashes of systemic racism and white flight. This first Southern city to pluck the feathers off Jim Crow, where peaceful protesters endured attacks by police dogs, where high-pressure water hoses tore at the flesh of men and women marching for their rights, and where children locked arms and sang "We Shall Overcome," is a living, breathing redemption story. 
     
     
     
    In Son of Birmingham, Woodfin draws upon the street wisdom of his generation's Southern rap music; the power of family, friends, and faith; and his education at the historically Black Morehouse College to preach the progress every corner of our nation clamors for right now. He walks listeners through the streets of his Birmingham, bringing to light the daily joys and struggles of everyday people and revealing what spurred him to turn his education and Capitol Hill experience to the city of his youth. 
     
     
     
    A moving memoir of a young leader's perseverance in a city still battling racism and gun violence, which Woodfin experienced first-hand, Son of Birmingham is also a call-to-action across America—an appeal to Woodfin's unique brand of servant leadership and responsive government for equitable, inclusive, and prosperous cities where everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

    THE NEW KALISHNIKOVS :: AK-47 - aka Drones 
    This poem is about the new invention in war, of small arms arsenals - The Drone. Coming on the heels of the 
    former mass produced and used small arm the - Kalashnikov rifle. 
    The similarities of the AK and Drones, for widespread use are their cheapness to build relative to their 
    use - cost benefit. Their individual strike and their reliability, and their 
    effectiveness. 
    In all its guises, it represents a new era in remote 'close contact'. 
    The Drone itself being sent from a remote location and controlled at a remote location, 
    but the target being an individual, small group or military vehicle like the Tank. 
    Drones are fast becoming the choice of weapon in the modern age for battlefield contact. 
    * Absolutely NO A.I. has been used in the creation of this Poem.

    Quando l'audiolibro è donna: io...

    Questo è il primo di una serie di cinque piccoli volumetti sulla mia esperienza con gli audiolibri.Non si tratta di manualistica o del solito metodo miracoloso per far soldi, bensì di vita vissuta, di quello che si tocca con mano davvero e non in ipotesi in questo particolarissimo settore dell'editoria. Una sorta di "case history" a puntate o a episodi su audiolibri e podcast, ma da leggere. Possibilmente con un sorriso.  
    Valerio Di Stefano (1964) è filologo, linguista e ispanista. Siccome non sapeva cosa fare, quindici anni fa è penetrato nella gabbia degli audiolibri e non è più riuscito a uscirne, ma si sta già attrezzando. Come narratore ha pubblicato, tra gli altri, “La voce nel deserto”, “Malinverno”, “Confessione d’un amore fascista”, “La mossa del cavillo” e il recentissimo “Minchia, Signor Tenente!”. In realtà nella vita è padre di Adele Marie e ‘tato’ di Birba che gli ha regalato soltanto dodici cuccioli.
