Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American Voice looks to find the vital edge of modern American writing. The journal, whose contributors come from the U.S., Canada, and Latin America, often publishes work by writers denied access to mainstream journals. Writings from its pages have been regularly reprinted in prize annuals such as The Pushcart Prize, Best American Poetry, and Best American Essays. This fifteenth anniversary anthology collects eighty poems from some of the most original and daring writers of our time. The anthology's contributors range from the world famous Jorge Luis Borges, Marge Piercy, May Swenson to the newly emerging Marie Sheppard Williams, Suzanne Gardinier, Robyn Selman and from the nationally read Wendell Berry, Reynolds Price, Barbara Kingsolver to the distinctly regional George Ella Lyon, Jane Gentry, James Still. This volume brings together some of the best selections from an award-winning journal, making clear why Small Press dubbed The American Voice one of the "most impressive journals in the country."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this mesmerizing compilation, fourteen authors weave clever tales of imagination and discovery, loss and redemption. Though each story is vastly different than the last, they all have one thing in common: a necklace. There’s the Saint Christopher pendant a brilliant city engineer wears that will test his faith, a cryptic ring on a chain that holds a mother’s dark secret, a sapphire necklace that bears magical power, a rose crystal medallion a young man gives away on New Year’s Eve before he vanishes without a trace. The grimness of prison life, a kidnapping gone wrong, a haunting of two sisters, a poisoning that saves a child, and more come to vivid life. From California to New York City, London and Paris, to an elusive planet called Eleusis Well somewhere in the Milky Way, this gripping volume is crammed with unforgettable stories. Each tale is as deftly rendered as it is skillfully told, the necklaces that connect them echoes of the humanity they share and the wider world they explore.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories in Flight Path & Other Stories reveal the power of kindness. In difficult moments of human contact, explored from childhood through old age, this collection provides a window into the kindness all people seek in moments of sorrow. In her poem Kindness, Naomi Shihab Nye writes that when you know sorrow as “the other deepest thing . . . then it is only kindness that makes sense anymore.” from - “Kindness” in Words Under The Words: Selected Poems (1995) by Naomi Shihab Nye. The dynamic mix of characters in these stories, know much about sorrow. They know it in the burden of a wife looking after her war-damaged husband and the son who confronts her more than 35 years after she abandons them. They know it in the struggle to hide from violence of the world, even though violence finds them. But they do know kindness, too. They know it in the unspoken understanding between a young man and his elderly aunt in the aftermath of a violent murder. They know it in small gestures between friends, and even strangers, after a sudden death, as well as through the unexpected connections found on the other end of the phone or a shared meal.

This book was released on 2023-12-21 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turkish science fiction dates back to the early years of the twentieth century and serious development has been seen ever since. The writers, who escaped from the darkness of the First World War and took refuge in utopian science fiction, added the excitement created by science and technology to their texts over time. Turkish writers, who followed the science fiction works from the West and made efforts for the development of this genre, produced very qualified works that could compete with their contemporaries at some points. However, due to some historical, social, and economic problems, it was not possible for these works to meet readers in the West. In this anthology, the works of Turkish science fiction writers are brought together for the first time in English. Contemporary science fiction writers have written short stories for this anthology. Hence, the resulting diversity of stories represents a contribution to science fiction literature. An important feature of the anthology is that it includes examples showing how science and technology are perceived philosophically by authors outside of Europe and America. Since literature is an indispensable resource to investigate the equivalent of science fiction, which was born with modernism, in "post-modern" societies. This anthology of Turkish science fiction will be an important Non-Western SF source for both science fiction readers and researchers.

Book excerpt: Crystal is the fight for her life. Every day is hell for this frightened young child. Crystal had escaped from the torture and her abusive childhood. She always kept her abusive childhood a secret as well as the abuser's secret. Crystal remained silent. Until now! Crystal conquered the demons of her childhood, which is filled with evil. One voice is all it would take to bring attention to the hidden secrets out of the darkness in an abyss. Faith in God and the encouragement from her guardian angel, Mikheal. Mikheal tells Crystal, her power is her own voice. Be the voice to other children in an abusive situation. Crystal paved a staircase leading from the depths of hell into a brighter life, a brighter future. Crystal's voice started out as whimper, and now it is a shout. Crystal's secrets about her childhood are no longer surrounded in silence, no longer keeping the secrets of her abusers. Crystal desires to encourage, comfort, and empower abused children, telling them their lives are worth it even with ounce of every tear shed. Every scar that remains sealed into their hearts will only give them strength to begin a wonderful future, a future that will define their self-worth, their faith and soul. Building a life with love, kindness, and joy, every child deserves a beautiful life. Abused children should honor their passion of dignity, pride, and integrity. Life is a challenge, yet it will be a triumph to slam the door and lock it from continuing the cycle of abuse or circle of abuse. As adults, we have the power and control to stop the cycle of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. Crystal starts a new chapter in her life. She wants to represent and be a voice to the unspoken voice of abused children. It begins with one voice.
