Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book is a collection of poems about moments in my life that encouraged a response. They may suggest things to you about who I am or the things that I have done in my life. However, that may not be what they are asking or suggesting. Poetry became an outlet for emotions I had no other avenue to let go of. My poetry is a string of words and framing to release these emotions. In a way these poems make no coherent thought, and yet in other ways they shout a clear feeling. My wish is that this small book sits on your shelves for generations; that you open it and meditate upon one poem, read them on Sundays, read them to someone you love, and read them with your best friend. I am grateful to you that you read them.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Old-time radio, the folk revival, the golden age of science fiction, steam railroads, baseball, the Western, and other genres color our images of the 1950s. But contrary to the countercultural myth that America during this period was a sterile, soulless society, culturally and intellectually empty, it was an introspective era of innovation and creativity, the seedtime of the sixties, the harbinger of which was the urban folk revival. The Best of Times presents a collection of essays, each followed by a related memoir, focusing on postwar popular culture, exploring topics that mark the era but are also nostalgic in themselves-the comforting continuity of long-running radio shows, train whistles that brought the sweet sorrow of distance to small-town nights, lazy summers of baseball, endless stretches of unknown lands to the West that once compelled the imagination, the heroes and vagabonds of folksong who roamed a simpler world, and dreams of alien civilizations on neighboring planets, deepened by the dawning reality of spaceflight. These pieces balance personal, cultural, and mythic nostalgia, recalling author Wyn Wachhorst's youth, the postwar era, and its dreams of a fabled West or Norman Rockwell's small-town America.Blending history, memoir, imagery, and analysis, this collection of essays offers poetic reflections on the nature of nostalgia and postwar America. …

Through their bravery and persistence, they helped in the struggles for survival in the early years of this county. They observed many instances of brutality, especially the massacre in Goliad, which made them more determined to continue the fight. They sailed the pirate ship, Pelican, but later sold it, because they wanted a more gentle life. Moving from a life on the sea to one of exploration and fighting on land was almost more than they could endure.

The story is seen through the eyes of the two pirates and in many cases the historical perspective is shown and comes to life as they enter the scene of many conflicts.

An outcast, he is taken on a bullock-cart journey to an orphanage, where Das Gupta, its clerk, aware of the boy's high-caste, takes him to meet Jacob Rivers, Agnes, and their daughter, Esther. Soon he learns that as an infant, he was secretly baptised and named Michael and that Rivers knew his father. Esther tutors Michael in English, while her father, aware that British Rule in India must in time end, prepares his boys for that future. He is supported by Nawab Ali Baig, who, when Rivers is unfairly sacked, helps ease the hardships of the family's journey back to Assam. At Calcutta they disperse-Esther to school in England, Michael to a College run by British philanthropists, and Rivers to the wilds of Assam. Near his eighteenth birthday, Michael's friend Philip invites him home. He meets and is immediately infatuated by Philip's sister, Lily. Her rich Bengali father, impressed by Michael, has plans for him. But these are shelved by news of the horrific murders of Jacob and Agnes Rivers and by Michael's need to visit the graves of those he dearly loved.
