Glut

Ramona Herdman

Sinossi

Ramona Herdman's Glut is a lush, entertaining, and bittersweet collection of poems about how we live together and find meaning through rules and rituals around food, family, alcohol, work, nature, sex and love. These vividly-realised, nimble poems probe at the delicate balancing acts we – our bodies and our minds – perform in life: between power and trust, between convention and rebellion, and between what is enough and what is too much.
All the time, Herdman's spry poetry keeps a gimlet eye on our impulse to make sense of it all – of how we live and work together, and what strategies will help us to navigate our way through the tangled undergrowth of negotiation and misunderstanding. Glut is a lustrous, darkly funny, open-hearted book on the distance between people, on satisfying appetites, and on seeking both pleasure and consolation.

Jody K. Biehl

This anthology of essays, poetry and photography offers an intimate view of this iconic Rust Belt city—“one of the best books about Buffalo ever created” (Buffalo News).

Told through the eyes of more than sixty-five artists, writers, and residents, Right Here, Right Now offer an unblinking, personal portrait of this often-overlooked city, capturing both its good and bad sides. Edited by Jody K. Biehl, contributions from Wolf Blitzer, Lauren Belfer, Marv Levy, John Lombardo, Mary Ramsey, Robby Takac, and many more show why so many people love calling Buffalo home. Here, you’ll encounter:  Frederick Law Olmstead’s impact on the city’s early design  The pain and joy of biking through Lake Effect snow  Racism in a gentrifying city and city planning initiatives  The rise and fall of the Buffalo mafia  A trip to a Western New York meat raffle.

The Investigation - A dramatic...

Peter Weis

The Investigation is a dramatic reconstruction of the Frankfurt War Crimes trials, based on the actual evidence given. This testimony, concerning Auschwitz and the atrocities which were enacted there, has been edited and extracted by Peter Weiss into a dramatic document that relies solely and completely on the facts for its effectiveness.
There is no artistic license, no manipulation of facts and figures, no rearrangement of events for theatrical effect. Nameless witnesses stand and recall their appalling memories of Auschwitz, allowing us to bear witness to their painful and painstaking search for truth and ultimately justice. What emerges is a chastening and purging documentary of deeply moving power.
