Kendra Michaels's astonishing powers of observation and analysis have made her a go-to for law enforcement agencies all across the country. Her other senses, hyper-developed while she was blind for the first twenty years of her life, along with her keen, sharp mind make her an unstoppable force. After having regained her sight through a revolutionary surgical procedure, she now assists in investigations nationwide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dreaming with Open Eyes examines visual symbolism in late seventeenth-century Italian opera, contextualizing the genre amid the broad ocularcentric debates emerging at the crossroads of the early modern period and the Enlightenment. Ayana O. Smith reevaluates significant aspects of the Arcadian reform aesthetic and establishes a historically informed method of opera criticism for modern scholars and interpreters. Unfolding in a narrative fashion, the text explores facets of the philosophical and literary background and concludes with close readings of text and music, using visual symbolism to create readings of gender and character in two operas: Alessandro Scarlatti's La Statira (Rome, 1690), and Carlo Francesco Pollarolo's La forza della virtù (Venice, 1693). Smith’s interdisciplinary approach enhances our modern perception of this rich and underexplored repertory, and will appeal to students and scholars not only of opera, but also of literature, philosophy, and visual and intellectual cultures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BLACK AND WHITE VERSION From Cirque Press, Wide Open Eyes: Surfacing from Vietnam a collection of braided tales by Paul Haeder (fiction). What radiates from every page of Paul Haeder's Wide Open Eyes - Surfacing from Vietnam is a journeyman's gift for showing the ties that bind ordinary people to their own crystallized struggle with "their Vietnam War baggage." These 17 fictional stories confront estrangement war veterans and their families have dredged through lives which are heroic because they all are survivors. This is a collection of stirring interlinked stories of reclamation from the perspective of the walking wounded. The characters are colorful inside Haeder's cauldron of quirky visceral story-telling. Lost souls are deftly moved from plot to plot as this writer shows a wizard's sense of life's absurdity. There is sinew and heart sculpted into myriad of protagonists. --- Ordinary people are scrawled into this atmospheric collection, yet Haeder seeks to explore the devastation of heartache by deploying black humor and leafy poignancy. From an old Army colonel lamenting rotting teeth getting yanked, to a hard-boiled street person humping it in the West flailing at his own demons from America's War with Vietnam, this is funny, stirring stuff from a talented writer. --- Coupled with his imaginative story-telling and eye-watering vernacular, this collection comes with arresting photographs anchoring each story. Eighteen photographs are an added creative touch to his fiction. The writer was in Vietnam - after the war - as his preface sets the stage for the first casualties of war. Praise for the Stories: "From a lonely bookseller in Albuquerque to a street vagabond in Tucson, these are people most readers pass over in their lives. As readers of this collection, if we keep our eyes open and ears tuned, Haeder shows us vibrancy in people struggling. The author pins a lot of these stories on the theme 'surfacing from Vietnam, ' but the reality is we as readers are forced to dive deep into the author's realm of sometimes twisted characters and unforgiving plots." -- Rick DeMarinis (1995), Author of The Year of the Zinc Penny, The Mortician's Apprentice, and other works.
