Blue Toes and a Dog

Rudy Baron

Sinossi

Blue Toes and a Dog is a collection of poems in which the author expresses all the wonder and beauty that poetry is able to convey. Poetry is seen as a source of amazement, as a tool and lens through which to see and perceive the world around us. In this collection the reader will find numerous styles, based on discovery, not only of the wonderful creativity poetry allows them to experiment with, but also the numerous avenues language allows them to access the universe. The author believes poetry is meant to constantly change the view of whatever we see, in multiple ways, one time beautiful, another time vicious, another time perplexing, another time with grace and love. The author explores different themes, ranging from love to simple, everyday life scenarios, filtered through his watchful and ever-active eye. Some poems were free flowing, some were a struggle. But isn’t that what poetry and life are all about?Rudy Baron, originally from Detroit and former English Instructor at Long Island University, Brooklyn, co-founded Downtown Brooklyn in 1992 with fellow authors Barbara Henning and Wayne Berninger. He was editor of the publication for seven years, and his literary contributions have been published in numerous journals, establishing his reputation in the field. He currently resides in St. Petersburg, Florida, where he is both teaching and continuing his literary journey.

Hogg

Samuel R. Delany

The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.

Tender Betrayal

Rosanne Bittner

Stolen kisses and secret reunions lead to a passion that civil war cannot sever in this glorious historical romance from the bestselling author of Caress.   Beautiful, proud Audra Brennan feels like a stranger in a foreign land when she comes north from Louisiana to study music. But when she savors her first forbidden taste of desire in the arms of handsome lawyer Lee Jeffreys, his caresses spark a flame within her that burns away the differences between rebel and Yankee, all objections silenced by the fierce beating of two wild hearts falling impetuously, impossibly in love.   Suddenly cannon fire shatters the country. Principled, impassioned, and committed to a nation united, Lee answers the call to fight against the Confederacy, while Audra hurries home to a plantation shadowed by the darkening cloud of war. But in the most terrible of circumstances, can either afford to surrender their heart?   “Power, passion, tragedy and triumph are Rosanne Bittner’s hallmarks. Again and again, she brings readers to tears.” —RT Book Reviews
