Book excerpt: The IPPY Award–winning anthology of poetry, memoir, and essays—“accounts of assimilation and nostalgia, celebration and resistance” (Rick Barot, author of The Galleons). This collection contains contributions from sixty-five writers who were either born and/or raised in the United States by one or more immigrant parent. Their work describes the many contradictions, discoveries and life lessons one experiences when one is neither seen as fully American nor fully foreign. Contributors include Richard Blanco, Tina Chang, Joseph Lagaspi, Li-Young Lee, Timothy Liu, Naomi Shihab Nye, Oliver de la Paz, Ira Sukrungruang, Ocean Vuong, and many other talented writers from throughout the United States. Winner of a Bronze Medal from the Independent Publisher Book Awards for Multicultural Nonfiction “When you hold in your DNA two countries—the cultures, the languages, the delicious foods and stories—you embody richness. These writers know on the cellular level many-layered ways to live, to struggle, to love. Here are voices we need to hear, writers we need to read. This is a brilliant, timely book, an antidote to divisiveness.” —Peggy Shumaker, former Alaska State Writer Laureate “The poets and writers in Two-Countries show that one result of our ongoing national experiment is a rich deepening in our literature. We may be in perilous times as a country, but our writers have never been in more ferocious health.” —Rick Barot, author of The Galleons

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arabic poetry is categorized into two main parts: rhyme and prose with the former significantly preceding the latter. Khalifa’s poetry is highly regarded and is associated with religion and culture. This book serves as a reference to a few selected poems of Ali Abdullah Khalifa’s poetry where academic professionals, students, and researchers in the literary and critical fields can discuss the issues raised by the poet and his approach to poetry. Al-Sayegh shows how Khalifa’s poetry reveals serious matters about the life of his people while using themes of love and courage in the pursuit of understanding. Al-Sayegh breaks down Khalifa’s poems into all its important elements to explain how they work together to create a poetic effect and reinforce meaning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the New England Book Award"Cathie Pelletier generates the sort of excitement that only writers at the very top of their form can provide."-Stephen King Welcome to Mattagash, Maine, a small, quirky town where everyone's personal lives are as entwined as their family trees. On the day of the first snowfall, the residents brace themselves for the long winter ahead. Mere survival will be hard; dealing with each other is another story. As winter settles in, various Mattagashians careen from conundrum to conundrum, trying to save dying small businesses, caring for crabby loved ones, and cruising through town, stirring up gossip any way they can get it. Through it all, 107-year old Mathilda Fennelson reflects on her life as the town's oldest resident, born the year Mattagash was founded. Through her dreams and memories, she reveals the scrappy, strange, and earnest pioneer history of these people weighed down by their own existence. At once funny, insightful, and heartbreaking, The Weight of Winter is a perfect for fans of Olive Kitteridge (Elizabeth Strout), The Language of Flowers (Vanessa Diffenbaugh), and The Good House (Ann Leary) who will fall in love with Mattagash and its people.

What readers are saying about The Weight of Winter "While wildly funny at time, The Weight of Winter is a much darker and even more compelling novel than was the first book in the series." "Wonderfully written with humor, yet extremely hard-hitting." "This was one of those books that I looked forward to falling back into each time I picked it up, and each time, it felt like going home." What reviewers are saying about The Weight of Winter "Pelletier's ear for dialogue is exceptional, and her characters' interior monologues, what they think but don't say, are subversive, humorous and heartbreaking."-Publishers Weekly "Frequently funny and always poignant, it is a chronicle of past and present times, detailing lost dreams, found meaning, and echoing the sins of generations."-Library Journal What people are saying about Cathie Pelletier "Nobody walks the knife-edge of hilarity and heartbreak more confidently than Cathie Pelletier."— Richard Russo, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls "It is Pelletier's gift to be able to coax the drama from stony ground without artifice or sentimentality."-Boston Globe "An ambitious, fearless novelist."-The Washington Post "Cathie does a wonderful job of capturing [her characters'] moods and loves and losses, and yearnings...Her writing is lovely and so descriptive"— Annie Philbrick, Bank Square Books, Mystic, CT "Sharp stuff...Her sentences are powerful and unique as snowflakes."-New York Times

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a reflection of what my life was, but perhaps, it is the reflection of what your life is. When you read it, you would observe that my wrong decisions and my false thoughts were not the reality of the dreams that I always had; that's why I found myself immersed in the middle of the waves, dark and strong waves that dragged me deeper and deeper, but thank God, He did not let me drown; He was always by my side, but I did not see Him. When I was about to die, He took me out in the middle of the waves and covered me with his light and with his love; you can also get out of the waves you are in today, look for Him, he is around you. Seek Him so that you can also testify to others, that God took me out, that God brought you out of the midst of the waves.Show moreEste libro es el reflejo de lo que fue mi vida, pero quizás, es el reflejo de lo que es tu vida. Cuando lo leas observara que mis decisiones equivocadas y mis falsos pensamientos no eran la realidad de los sueños que yo siempre tuve; por eso me encontré sumergido en medio de las olas, olas oscuras y fuertes que me arrastraban mas y mas profundo, pero gracias a Dios, El no me dejo ahogar, Él siempre estuvo a mi lado, pero yo no lo veía a Él; cuando estuve a punto de morir, El me saco de en medio de las olas y me cubrió con su luz y con su amor; tú también puedes salir de en medio de las olas en las que te encuentras hoy, búscalo a Él, Él está a tu alrededor. Búscalo a Él para que tú también puedas decir a otros, que Dios me saco, que Dios te saco de en medio de las olas.Show lessDEL AUTOR:Cuando yo escribí este libro, lo hice con el deseo de que pueda servirle al lector, como un mensaje de reflexión y esperanza, no es un cuento, soy yo, y lo escribí cuando me encontraba en uno de esos momento nostálgicos, cuando yo había cumplido los 55 años de edad, y estaba yo frente al espejo mirando mis canas y las arrugas que comienzan en mi rostro, sentía como el tiempo había pasado, y veía mi vida pasada, desilusionado, sentía que no había hecho nada positivo, que no había ninguna marca de triunfo en las vidas de mis amigos, alumnos, ni mucho menos, en mi familia. En ese momento, mi esposa me llama por teléfono y yo le exprese como me estaba sintiendo en el momento, ella me hablo y me inspiro y me motivo para escribir. Desde muchos años atrás, he tenido la idea y el sueño de publicar un libro, pero nunca pensé que el sueño podía convertirse en realidad; calculaba los gastos y las complicaciones. Dios uso el momento perfecto, El todo lo puede y todo lo realiza; esto parece que se me había olvidado; aunque he predicado y he ensenado sobre su grandeza, Dios todo lo puede, aunque a veces se nos olvida.Llegaron muchos recuerdos, en los que Dios me había protegido, muchas veces de situaciones muy feas, momentos desagradables que marcaron mi vida de forma oscura y de los que hoy no me siento orgulloso; más bien, me siento avergonzado, y muchos momentos y acciones por los que debo pedir perdón; y situaciones en las que viví una vida desorganizada y fuera de control, era una pobre alma deambulando sin rumbo ni metas.Es por lo que llamo este libro "EN MEDIO DE LAS OLAS"; un mundo en donde creemos que la diversión es la única salida para olvidar la realidad, y un mundo de soledad, aunque tengas muchos "amigos"; comenzamos a vivir una vida de ilusiones mirando hacia el futuro, un futuro que solo existe en nuestro deseo de vivir diferente; vida de la que tristemente no podemos salir sin la ayuda y misericordia de nuestro señor Jesucristo.En MEDIO DE LAS OLAS, fue mi vida de confusión y tormento, quizás, es tu vida de confusión y tormento, donde no existe la amistad sincera, donde se busca el verdadero amor, donde la realidad se cubre de ilusión, una vida preñada de diversiones, alcohol, drogas y tabaco, una vida en donde abunda el sueño vacío. En medio de las olas, es mi testimonio, en donde Dios glorifico su nombre, sacándome de la tormenta en la que yo vivía; también lo puede hacer con usted. En la Biblia dice: Todo lo que pidáis en mi nombre, lo hare, para que el Padre sea glorificado...Si buscas a Jesús, Él te ayudara a cambiar tu vida y cambiara toda la situación que te mantiene en medio de las olas. El me saco de la tormenta más terrible, me dio un nuevo nombre, y ya no hay más lágrimas de dolor, de soledad ni de tormento, Cristo fue mi solución y puede ser tu solución también.EN MEDIO DE LAS OLAS soy yo y eres tú; yo puedo contarlo y deseo que tu también puedas contar como Dios te saco de en medio de las olas.
