Beschreibung

"English Walnuts" presents a compelling anthology that interweaves the voices of various authors, exploring the rich cultural significance and diverse historical narratives surrounding the walnut in English literature. With a blend of evocative prose, poetry, and essays, the book examines themes of tradition, nature, and identity as they relate to this humble yet symbolic fruit. The literary style is characterized by a tapestry of voices that offer nuanced perspectives, inviting readers to appreciate the artistry in everyday objects and their connections to the human experience. The contributors to this anthology, a distinguished group of contemporary writers and poets, draw upon their unique backgrounds and personal experiences with walnuts, whether through metaphor, memory, or personal anecdotes. Their collective work reflects a broader literary context marked by a revival of interest in nature writing and the exploration of localized histories. This is a testament to the burgeoning movement that harmonizes environmental consciousness with a celebration of regional identity. I highly recommend "English Walnuts" to readers who appreciate literary works that blend memoir, nature, and culture. This anthology not only enriches our understanding of walnuts but also serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of people and the environment. It invites readers to reflect on their own relationships with nature and the vital narratives that shape our lives.

Three years later he published his second collection which contained his macabre classic ‘The Beast with Five fingers’, only one more collection would come from his pen in his lifetime.

    Over the last 2,000 years, ambitious men have dreamed of forging vast empires and attaining eternal glory in battle, but of all the conquerors who took steps toward such dreams, none were ever as successful as antiquity’s first great conqueror. Leaders of the 20th century hoped to rival Napoleon’s accomplishments, while Napoleon aimed to emulate the accomplishments of Julius Caesar. But Caesar himself found inspiration in Alexander the Great (356-323 B.C.), the Macedonian King who managed to stretch an empire from Greece to the Himalayas in Asia at just 30 years old. It took less than 15 years for Alexander to conquer much of the known world. Although his empire was quickly divided, his legacy only grew, and Alexander became the stuff of legends even in his own time.  
    	In the history of war, only a select few men always make the list of greatest generals. Napoleon. Caesar. Alexander. They are always joined by Hannibal, who has the distinction of being the only man who nearly brought Rome to its knees before its decline almost 700 years later. Rome never suffered a more horrifying defeat in its history than at Cannae, and indeed, Hannibal nearly rewrote the course of Western history during the Second Punic War. Even today there remains great debate on just how he accomplished his masterful invasion of Italy across the Alps. Since his army included war elephants, historians still argue over exactly where and how he crossed over 2,000 years after he managed that incredible feat.  
    	The ultimate conqueror, statesman, dictator, visionary, and opportunist, during his time in power Caesar expanded the borders of Rome to almost twice their previous size, revolutionized the infrastructure of the Roman state, and destroyed the Roman Republic for good, leaving a line of emperors in its place. His legacy is so strong that his name has become, in many languages, synonymous with power.

    REVIEW 
    5.0 out of 5 stars If you feel alone in your suffering, this is the book to hold. 
    Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2022 
    Verified Purchase 
    Somehow, Michael has been able to take the most searing loss and transform it into words that bless, comfort and inspire. Two other resources help me with grief: the movie: What Dreams May Come and the CD/book, Graceful Passages. When She Died stands powerfully beside these masterpieces. It brings understanding, order, and compassion to the unthinkable, shocking and unbearable nature of loss. 
    Mish's words are eloquent, and cut to the core nature of sorrow without trite religious platitudes, psychological jargon, or a hint of falsehood. One receives a road map through the horrific shock of loss, and a steady guide to light your way. 
    The writing is clean and clear. Even if you're not currently dealing with a fresh grief, reading Michael's intimate reactions will touch and teach. 
    It is not maudlin or cloying. When She Died is clean, clear and clarifying. Furthermore, its a "page turner." 
    Couldn't put it down. Read in one sitting.

    For over three decades, Angelo Cataldi was the on-air voice of Philadelphia sports fans, leading the charge with unabashed zeal and infectious energy. He was the maestro of the mania, the conductor of the symphony of vitriol that blared through car radios every morning in the most misunderstood yet passionate sports city in America. 
     
     
     
    It made him his share of enemies, but he walked away from the microphone with enough stories for several lifetimes—or one jam-packed, lively memoir. 
     
     
     
    LOUD is an exuberant chronicle of Cataldi's life, from his childhood as a self-described "king nerd" in Providence, Rhode Island, to the traditional newspaper career he left behind, and his eventual rise to the top of the Philadelphia sports radio scene on WIP. 
     
     
     
    Through it all, Cataldi remained dedicated to his mission of talking about what the city was talking about, in the same tone. And that tone was loud, passionate, and unapologetically real. 
     
     
     
    Full of encounters with athletes, personalities, and power brokers as well as candid reflections, LOUD is a must-listen for die-hard Philadelphia sports fans and anyone who appreciates a good story.
