Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Winner of the 2025 Grayson Books Poetry Contest, Ghost Hunting Glaciers delves into lives human, animal, historical, and elemental. In these poems, the ancient world seems very alive within the present landscape, and the natural world speaks to all who will listen.With lyric precision the poet explores ways of accepting and understanding what is in the process of disappearing, as experienced by Black Bear, Dead Elk, and Swimming Stone.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Quote: We don't read and write poetry because it is cute. We read and write because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, which are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.Dead Poets Society About the AuthorI was born in the 1950s and I would say that makes me a little old fashioned. I hold to the old fashioned sense of what is right. I grew up in a time when role models and heroes were real and stood for the same things that parents instilled in their children. Sometimes when I write the nostalgia peeks in and you can see and feel an era long forgotten. But it's an era I don't forget for a moment. My children say; I'm old.I started work at the age of 12 working as a pot and pan cleaner in a restaurant in Portland Maine. I started at $ .60 cents an hour and somehow felt good about that. Growing up poor and on the wrong side of the tracks makes one appreciate the little things and simple times. Having graduated early, I enrolled into Bible College at the age of 16. Since then it has been a whirlwind of adventure and several lives rolled up into one.I was married at 24 and we had 5 children. By this time in my life, I was working as an assistant pastor and a police officer. Many asked how the marriage of those two was possible. It just was, is all I can say to that. After extensive travel around the globe having experiences few could tell we settled down to a small church and a side job as private investigator. I became a volunteer assistant chaplain to a major league basketball team in the 80s. It was also at this time that I started writing poetry. I found a way to articulate thoughts and dreams that had been mute till this point in my life. Poetry became a way to open my soul to any who would read. To quote an unknown author, ' Let people see the cracks in your armor for that's how the light gets out.' I had learned a wealth of personal knowledge through pain, but was unable to reveal it to many, till poetry.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Born with a severe hearing impairment, author Mike Garrigan learned to be a highly-competitive fighter early on, with a never-give-up attitude, which was usually enough to overcome the challenges and struggles he faced in his early years. Yet, nothing could have prepared him for the unexpected storm that bore down on him as he entered his college years. A routine eye exam resulted in the diagnosis of an incurable disease, which hit him like a hurricane as he struggled to understand it. He learned that the disease, Usher Syndrome Type II, would slowly rob him of his vision and eventually result in blindness. His future appeared to be over before it had even begun. After graduating from college, Garrigan moved from the Midwest to Atlanta, Georgia, to pursue a career. Garrigan decided to try to take control of his future, press forward in his own strength, and fight for the normal life he had always imagined. His disease, however, had other plans. As he marched toward blindness, he found himself taken by surprise once again. No one had prepared him for a storm of another kind: Garrigan found himself vulnerable and trapped in the miserable dark hole of depression, hopelessness, and suffering. Then something happened that changed everything. How could this pivotal moment possibly offer a way out of the trap he found himself in How could joy and hope for the future spring forth again Readers will find these answers and inspiration in Garrigan's USHERED OUT OF DARKNESS. Mike Garrigan is a graduate of Ohio University and worked in the technology field for most of his career. He is the father of two daughters and lives in Anderson, SC, with his wife, Becky, and guide dog: a golden retriever named Fuzz.
