UnBoyfriends is a stunning debut poetry collection from Marisa Alma McGinnis. Pulling from contemporary culture, biology, sociology, and personal experiences, UnBoyfriends reminds us how our intimate relationships shape us, and how we can change our own stories by loving fully, reflecting on our past experiences, and remembering how to love ourselves. Praise for UnBoyfriends At times lushly romantic, at times wryly playful, the poems of UnBoyfriends celebrate love and the body while turning a clear eye toward modern courtship in Silicon Valley. - Peter Kline former Wallace Stegner Fellow and author of Deviants At times I felt like crying, then laughing, but the whole time, on reading this book, I felt like I was on a journey. Rosanna Lyons, animator of The Simpsons
When Long Island became a suburban paradise after World War II, ambitious entrepreneurs created dozens of amusement parks to help families unwind. The Nunley family built a park in Baldwin in 1939, and it was so successful that they opened Nunley's Happyland in Bethpage just a few years later. Westbury's Spaceland fascinated youngsters with dreams of becoming astronauts, and Frontier City in Amityville was heaven on earth to fans of the Wild West. Today, historic parks like Deno's Wonder Wheel Park in Coney Island and Adventureland in Farmingdale still delight children and remind parents of happy memories of their own. Local author Marisa Berman explores the decades of fun and laughter from Long Island's historic amusement parks.
