Sinossi

We begin with a drive to write something that's never been said before, to protest, to offload, to challenge or catch the zeitgeist. We imagine we write like the poets we admire. Slowly we learn the craft, understanding eventually that a writer is indentured for life.
Drawing on decades of experience as a poet and tutor, this compelling book is part hands-on guide and part reflection on ways that poetry can make a difference to how we live. It is also a survey of many varied and inspirational writers, especially women poets from the end of the 20th century.
The final section of this unique book offers starting points and resources that will prove essential for new and experienced poets alike. Jackie Wills is herself one of our most genuine and brilliantly insightful poets; and, as the sections on writing workshops show, she has helped people of all ages find their way into poetry.

  • For a Dollar and a Dream - State Lotteries in Modern America - cover

    For a Dollar and a Dream - State...

    Jonathan D. Cohen

    Every week, one in eight Americans place a bet on the dream of a life-changing lottery jackpot. Americans spend more on lottery tickets annually than on video streaming services, concert tickets, books, and movie tickets combined. 
     
     
     
    The story of lotteries in the United States may seem straightforward: tickets are bought predominately by poor people driven by the wishful belief that they will overcome infinitesimal odds and secure lives of luxury. The reality is more complicated. For a Dollar and a Dream shows how, in an era of stagnant upward mobility, millions of Americans turned to the lottery as their only chance at achieving the American Dream. Gamblers were not the only ones who bet on betting. As voters revolted against higher taxes in the late twentieth century, states saw legalized gambling 
    as a panacea, a way of generating revenue without cutting public services or raising taxes. Alongside stories of lottery winners and losers, Jonathan Cohen shows how gamblers have used prayer to help them win a jackpot, how states tried to pay for schools with scratch-off tickets, and how lottery advertising has targeted lower income and nonwhite communities. 
     
     
     
    For a Dollar and a Dream charts the untold history of the nation's lottery system, revealing how players and policymakers alike got hooked on hopes for a gambling windfall.

    In a world often narrated by male voices, "Notable Women Through the Ages" emerges as a resonant chorus of female stories, echoing through the corridors of time.This book is not just a collection of biographies; it's an intricately woven tapestry of lives that have shaped history in unspoken ways. We embark on a journey that meanders through the annals of history, uncovering the stories of women whose names might not echo in the halls of fame but whose contributions have been pivotal in the grand scheme of things.The resilience that led to Hypatia of Alexandria with their brilliant minds who defied her time and to the persistence that enabled Joan of Arc to overcome her difficult path. In this regard it focuses on the scientific genius of Marie Curie and artistic superiority of Frida Kahlo making us remember that talent has no gender. Each chapter unfolds a fresh aspect of women’s courage from politicians as Indira Gandhi and Angela Merkel down to the women fighting for social justice such as Rosa Parks and Malala Yousafzai.The more we read, we are accompanied by other lesser-known tough women such as unheard NASA mathematicians, anonymous heroines of wars and quiet fighters for art and literature revolution. “Notable Women Through the Ages” is not just a mere chronicle of achievements, but also traces all hardships and personal sacrifice required to accomplish such milestones in the society.It goes beyond being just a book to read; it’s an experience. The story of great women is a reminder that the historic narrative would remain incomplete without making references to them. Their stories of passion, grit, and strength do not read like mere footnotes in a textbook. Rather, they burn bright enough to light the way for those who follow. “Notable Women Through the Ages” is a dedication, an inspiration, and a legacy of the courage of woman-hood.
