  A master of documentary poetry, Erika Meitner takes up the question of desire and intimacy in her latest collection of poems.In her previous five collections of poetry, Erika Meitner has established herself as one of America’s most incisive observers, cherished for her remarkable ability to temper catastrophe with tenderness. In her newest collection Useful Junk, Meitner considers what it means to be a sexual being in a world that sees women as invisible—as mothers, customers, passengers, worshippers, wives. These poems render our changing bodies as real and alive, shaped by the sense memories of long-lost lovers and the still thrilling touch of a spouse after years of parenthood, affirming that we are made of every intimate moment we have ever had. Letter poems to a younger poet interspersed throughout the collection question desire itself and how new technologies—Uber, sexting, Instagram—are reframing self-image and shifting the ratios of risk and reward in erotic encounters.With dauntless vulnerability, Meitner travels a world of strip malls, supermarkets, and subway platforms, remaining porous and open to the world, always returning to the intimacies rooted deep within the self as a shout against the dying earth. Boldly affirming that pleasure is a vital form of knowledge, Useful Junk reminds us that our selves are made real and beautiful by our embodied experiences and that our desire is what keeps us alive.

  Twenty years since its first publication, this new anniversary edition of the Holocaust memoir of George Salton (then Lucjan Salzman), gives listeners a personal and powerful account of his survival through one of the darkest periods in human history. With heartbreaking and honest reflection, the author shares a gripping first-person narrative of his transformation from a Jewish eleven-year-old boy living happily in Tyczyn, Poland, with his brother and parents, to his experiences as a teenage victim of growing persecution, brutality, and imprisonment as the Nazis pursued the Final Solution. The author takes the listener back in time as he reveals in vivid and engrossing details the painful memories of life in his childhood town during Nazi occupation, the forced march before his jeering and cold-eyed former friends and neighbors as they are driven from their homes into the crowded and terrible conditions in the Rzeszow ghetto, and the heart-wrenching memory of his final farewell as he is separated from his parents who would be sent in boxcars to the Belzec extermination camp. 
   
   
   
  This new and substantially reworked twentieth anniversary edition incorporates research based on recently discovered documents related to George Salton's concentration camp experience, a new foreword by Michael Berenbaum, and a new afterword of George Salton's unpublished speeches.

  Cristero War - The Rebellion...

  The Cristero War, also known as the Cristero Rebellion or La Cristiada [la kistjaa], was a widespread and deeply significant conflict that unfolded in central and western Mexico during the late 1920s. It was primarily driven by a violent response to the secularist and anti-clerical provisions of the 1917 Mexican Constitution, which sought to curtail the influence of the Catholic Church over the country's political and social life. The Constitution introduced sweeping reforms, including the restriction of church property rights and the severe limitations placed on the clergy’s ability to engage in public life. 
  This growing tension reached a boiling point when President Plutarco Elías Calles, who came into power in 1924, took decisive action to enforce these secular provisions. In 1926, Calles issued an executive order to aggressively implement Article 130 of the 1917 Constitution, known as the Calles Law. This law effectively outlawed many aspects of Catholicism in Mexico, including the practice of the religion in public spaces, the establishment of religious orders, and the public involvement of the clergy in education and politics. Calles' aim was to reduce the power of the Catholic Church, which had long been one of the most influential institutions in Mexican society, and to curb what he perceived as an obstacle to modernization and national unity.

  Gladiators - History and...

  Gladiators were highly trained warriors who fought to the death for the entertainment of the Roman public. These brutal battles took place in large arenas throughout the Roman Republic and Empire, where gladiators would engage in combat with other fighters, wild animals, or even condemned criminals. The fights were often bloody and merciless, designed to showcase the might and martial prowess of the Roman world. While some gladiators volunteered, seeking fame and fortune in the arena, many were slaves or prisoners of war who were forced to fight. 
  The life of a gladiator was harsh and dangerous. Those who entered the arena did so at great personal risk, as their fights often meant risking their lives for the entertainment of the masses. Even voluntary gladiators, known as "auctorati," gambled with their personal safety and social standing. They had little to no rights and were subject to the whims of their owners or sponsors. Gladiators who survived and fought well could gain fame and admiration, but their lives were fraught with physical injury and emotional isolation. The training they underwent was grueling, often conducted in harsh conditions at special training schools known as "ludi," where they were forced to endure relentless drills and punishments. 
  Gladiators were not only fighters but also symbols of Roman martial virtues. Through their valor and resilience in the arena, they represented Rome's ideals of strength, honor, and discipline. Their performances were often immortalized in Roman art and artifacts, with their images appearing on coins, pottery, and sculptures. Despite the grim nature of their lives, gladiators could gain popular admiration for their ability to fight bravely or die with honor. Some even became beloved figures in Roman culture, celebrated in both elite and everyday art.
