Book excerpt: "“Song Lyric,” ci, remains one of the most loved forms of Chinese poetry. From the early eleventh century through the first quarter of the twelfth century, song lyric evolved from an impromptu contribution in a performance practice to a full literary genre, in which the text might be read more often than performed. Young women singers, either indentured or private entrepreneurs, were at the heart of song practice throughout the period; the authors of the lyrics were notionally mostly male. A strange gender dynamic arose, in which men often wrote in the voice of a woman and her imagined feelings, then appropriated that sensibility for themselves.As an essential part of becoming literature, a history was constructed for the new genre. At the same time the genre claimed a new set of aesthetic values to radically distinguish it from older “Classical Poetry,” shi. In a world that was either pragmatic or moralizing (or both), song lyric was a discourse of sensibility, which literally gave a beautiful voice to everything that seemed increasingly to be disappearing in the new Song dynasty world of righteousness and public advancement."

Book excerpt: One summer. One plan. One chance to shine. Cami Harris is ready to leave Branson behind for the bright lights of Nashville… or New York… or L.A. She’s not sure which. She knows any of those cities could help her with her lifelong dream of becoming the next musical superstar. Before she graduates, a once in a lifetime opportunity appears on her doorstep. Southern rock legend Hank Walker is coming to Mountain View Theater for the summer, and she’s hired as one of his backup singers. Cami’s excited to have the chance to learn from a certified rock god, even if he’s a certified jerk. Hank’s son Dylan offers to take Cami under his wing and teach her everything he knows about the music industry. Dylan and Cami grow closer, but he’s holding something back. Something that could destroy their relationships before it even starts. As Cami navigates the world of rock-n-roll, love, and family, she has to decide if leaving Branson is really what she wants or if home is where she needs to be.
