Synopsis

Louise Imogen Guiney's "Patrins" is a poignant exploration of memory, identity, and the interplay between personal and collective histories. This collection of lyrical poetry showcases Guiney's finely honed literary style, characterized by rich imagery and intricate rhythms that evoke a deep sense of place and time. Its themes resonate with the broader context of early 20th-century literature, reflecting a growing interest in the nuances of human experience and the significance of ancestral connections, drawing on both classical and contemporary influences to craft verses that linger in the mind. Guiney, an accomplished poet and essayist, was deeply influenced by her Irish heritage and commitment to the literary arts. Born in 1861, her extensive travels and experiences in England and the United States permeate her work, allowing her to weave a tapestry of cultural reflections into her poetry. Her nuanced understanding of the interplay between personal history and larger narratives makes "Patrins" not just a collection of poems, but a meditation on the legacies that shape our identities. I wholeheartedly recommend "Patrins" to readers seeking a profound engagement with the intricacies of memory and belonging. Guiney's unique voice and masterful command of language offer a transformative experience, inviting readers to reflect on their own connections to the past. This collection is a vital addition to the canon of early 20th-century poetry, one that continues to resonate with contemporary audiences.

    Set against the backdrop of the Civil Rights Movement, Redlined exposes the racist lending rules that refuse mortgages to anyone in areas with even one black resident. As blacks move deeper into Chicago’s West Side during the 1960s, whites flee by the thousands. But Linda Gartz’s parents, Fred and Lil choose to stay in their integrating neighborhood, overcoming previous prejudices as they meet and form friendships with their African American neighbors. The community sinks into increasing poverty and crime after two race riots destroy its once vibrant business district, but Fred and Lil continue to nurture their three apartment buildings and tenants for the next twenty years in a devastated landscape―even as their own relationship cracks and withers. 
    After her parents’ deaths, Gartz discovers long-hidden letters, diaries, documents, and photos stashed in the attic of her former home. Determined to learn what forces shattered her parents’ marriage and undermined her community, she searches through the family archives and immerses herself in books on racial change in American neighborhoods. Told through the lens of Gartz’s discoveries of the personal and political, Redlined delivers a riveting story of a community fractured by racial turmoil, an unraveling and conflicted marriage, a daughter’s fight for sexual independence, and an up-close, intimate view of the racial and social upheavals of the 1960s.

    The Remarkable Story of How One Man Defied the Odds 
      
    At 18, Paul Wood thought he had lost everything. He had committed an act he knew would send him to prison for many years. To a young man like Paul, it might as well have been for the rest of his life. 
    Plunged into a nightmarish world of extreme violence, solitary confinement, gang allegiances, drugs, vindictive wardens and regular stabbings, Paul spent the next 11 years confined in some of New Zealand's toughest jails.  
    Based on an account of his experiences he wrote while still inside, How to Escape from Prison chronicles Paul's road to redemption and a new life as a doctor of psychology, helping others strive to fulfil their potential and develop the resilience to flourish, even in adversity. This is a gripping read about a man who sank to the depths of despair, before scaling the heights of true freedom. 
    'Paul's transformation is unbelievable. We are sometimes brought up to think a zebra can't change its stripes. Paul Wood's story is proof that anyone can change. It gives you great courage that you can do anything.' 
    - Sir John Kirwan
