Stars at Noon: Poems from the Life of Jacqueline Cochran

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Shomer, Enid, PUBLISHER: University of Arkansas Press, These poems give voice to the life of the first woman to fly faster than the speed of sound. While Jacqueline Cochran was alive, no man or woman in the world could match her records for speed, distance, and altitude flying. Founder and director of the Women's Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) during World War II, Cochran continued to fly competitively until she was sixty, owned and operated her own line of designer cosmetics for three decades, ran for Congress, and generally placed herself on the path of history. Having begun life as a foundling in the crushing poverty of a lumber company town of the Florida panhandle, she described her life as "a passage from sawdust to stardust". Yet after her death she has barely been remembered. Poet Enid Shomer brings back this mercurial, dazzling, powerful woman. These poems speak in her voice and in the voices of her mother, teachers, husband, confidants, and political opponents, shaped by Shomer's consummate formal control and stunning lyricism. Illustrated with photographs.

El hombre llamado Noon/ The Man Called Noon (Paperback)

En un breve instante,una caida borro su memoria. Ahora,de lo unico que estaba seguro era de que alguien lo queria muerto y que era mejor que averiguara por que. Pero parecia que en cada sitio al que llegaba habia aun mas interrogantes o mas personas demasiado dispuestas a ocultar la verdad detras de una cortina de humo compuesta de mentiras. Tenia unicamente el nombre que le habian dicho que era el suyo,su misteriosa destreza con la pistola y una relacion con el equivalente a medio millon de dolares en

The Sun Unwound: Poems from Occupied America

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Brotherston, Gordon / Dorn, Edward, PUBLISHER: North Atlantic Books, The result of a 20-year collaboration between poet Edward Dorn and scholar Gordon Brotherston, "The Sun Unwound" gathers together the disparate voices of oppressed Americans through the centuries: the hymns, songs, and prayers of Mesoamericans and other native peoples; the verse of eight Latin American guerrillas of the 's; and works by three of Latin America's most important avant-garde poets of the twentieth century. The Native Americans saw their cultures obliterated, most of the guerrillas died in their struggles, and the modernists have faced persecution, prison, and torture for their left-wing convictions. Previously untranslated or unavailable to most North Americans, their poems offer a striking counterpoint to the colonialist, capitalist, Anglo-Saxon ethos.
