Sinopsis

In "Pipes O'Pan at Zekesbury," James Whitcomb Riley masterfully captures the essence of rural life in America through a captivating collection of poems that blend playful whimsy with poignant reflection. Written in a distinctly American vernacular, Riley's work showcases his skillful use of dialect and vivid imagery to evoke the sounds and sights of Indiana's landscapes and its spirited folk. The collection is both a celebration of the pastoral life and a poignant commentary on the passage of time, revealing the literary context of late 19th-century American literature, which often sought to capture the authenticity of regional experiences. James Whitcomb Riley, often referred to as the "Hoosier Poet," gained profound insights from his upbringing in Indiana, where he witnessed the simplicity and complexity of rural life. His background as an itinerant performer and his deep connection to the oral traditions of storytelling enriched his poetic voice, allowing him to weave together humor, nostalgia, and the universal human experience. Riley's popularity soared due to his ability to resonate with audiences, offering them a lens into a world that was both familiar and enchanting. This enchanting collection is highly recommended for readers yearning for a taste of Americana and the charm of simpler times. Riley's lyrical celebration of community, nature, and the human spirit will transport you to Zekesbury, making this work a timeless addition to any poetry lover's library.

Yellow Rain - Poems

Mai Der Vang

In this staggering work of documentary and poetry, Mai Der Vang reopens a wrongdoing that deserves a new reckoning. As the US abandoned them at the end of the Vietnam War, many Hmong refugees recounted stories of a mysterious substance that fell from planes during their escape from Laos in the mid-1970s. This substance, known as "yellow rain," caused severe illnesses and thousands of deaths. These reports prompted an investigation into allegations that a chemical biological weapon had been used against the Hmong in breach of international treaties. A Cold War scandal erupted, wrapped in partisan debate around chemical arms development versus control. American scientists argued that yellow rain was the feces of honeybees defecating en masse—still held as the widely accepted explanation. The truth of what happened to the Hmong, to those who experienced and suffered yellow rain, has been ignored and discredited. 
 
 
 
Integrating archival research and declassified documents, Vang calls out the erasure of a history, the silencing of a people who at the time lacked the capacity and resources to defend and represent themselves. In poems that sing and lament, that contend and question, Vang restores a vital narrative in danger of being lost, and brilliantly explores what it means to have access to the truth and how marginalized groups are often forbidden that access.

She said she'd send someone to help him escape. 
But escape what? 
Since the day Sage's mother died, he was left with nothing more than the nagging feeling that there was something right in front of his eyes. Student Council President, perfect marks and attendance, Sage's picturesque life shatters the night he meets Drew. 
An endearing young man, Drew lands in his life and claims it's all a lie. 
Every moment scripted, every movement monitored, Sage finds himself at the heart of a conspiracy. Trusted allies become potential enemies and he starts to sense that everyone is keeping a bigger secret from him, even Drew. 
He must use his wit to discern friend from foe and to read between the lines of his scripted world before the people in control realize he knows 
in order to break free in  
The 15th of Finality.
