Summary

 
 
17th Century France
Julian suffers the harsh life as a young street urchin in Paris everyday which one afternoon led to him being falsely accused of pickpocketing. This is when he encountered the frosty, mean and conceited banker, Victor Belmont, a highstanding man with all empathy of an executioner. A fiery agrument soon ensues between the two males.`
For so long Julian saw fit to evade the city brothel while searching for honest work. But Belmont soon propositions him supposedly out of spite for the lowly homeless boy insulting him. Julian is utterly shocked and confused because for the life of him he can't imagine why a man of prestige like Belmont would ever desire him, even for just a moment and yet he does...
Victor juggles his wealth and arrogance over Julian's head as a means of masking his raw fascination and attraction once laying eyes on Julian.

    “These poems are so generous, so bright and sharp, so funny and winning, they feel immense.” —Paul Guest“Erika Meitner is the new voice of intelligent and emotional poems. Good for poetry. Good for poetry lovers. Good for the rest of us, too.”— Nikki Giovanni Exploring themes of pregnancy, motherhood, ancestry, and life in the borderline slums of Washington, DC, the richly felt and adroit poetry of Erika Meitner’s Ideal Cities moves, mesmerizes, and delights. The work of an important emerging voice in contemporary American poetry—a winner of the 2009 National Poetry Series Prize as selected by Paul Guest—Ideal Cities gloriously perpetuates NPS’s long-standing tradition of promoting exceptional poetry from lesser-known poets.

    In the winter of 1882, a boy from the mountains has to prove himself a man. 
    ~*~ 
    When Albie Bramwell’s father died, he was left with two thousand hectares of mountain to farm, and little help to run it. Abandoned by all but two of his workers, the whole town of Alpine Falls called him too young to run the farm alone. 
    Young, yes. At just nineteen, he was determined to prove them wrong. Even if it killed him. 
    In search of a new life, Percy Collins found himself in a small mountain town where he ran into a man not much older than himself and scored a job at Echo Creek. A property full of misfits, or so the townsfolk had called it. But what Percy found was a home. 
    What Albie found was something he never thought possible. A man to love, and a man to share his dreams. 
    But times were tough, the winter harsh, and money scarce. Albie and Percy would need to do more than prove themselves worthy. They’d need to not only prove themselves better than anyone else. They’d need to prove it twice.
