Patricia Faith Polak is an adventurous world traveler whose experiences have led her to appreciate the island she calls home, and now to poetically reflect on the beauty and cultural diversity of Manhattan. Polaks varied verse not only explores the past as hot cocoa is sipped at Schraffts and a nickels worth of macaroni and cheese is devoured at the Automat, but also reflects on present day as an indigo sky illuminates the city, the sun glows on the tree-shaded paving cobbles outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a park near the East River welcomes nannies, a grassy caf in Greenwich Village lures guests, a chic gallery on the Lower East Side hosts an opening, and as a redhead looks expectantly toward a paper-capped soda jerk in an Edward Hopper painting. Manhattan Melody shares fifty contemporary reflections from an award-winning poet that share a fresh perspective on the beauty and diversity that surrounds a New York island.

George G. Whiz

Can I Have a Pet?

By: Patricia Faith Polak

George G. Whiz is a little boy with an active imagination that collects an enormous number of pets. He lives in a house on Nottingham Street, with his mother, father, and fifty-six feet – or at least at last count! George loves pets more than anything and he dreams of one day becoming a veterinarian, and brave lion tamer, working in a zoo. Yearning for a larger menagerie of both familiar and extraordinary pets, he perseveres so enthusiastically for ‘twins’ and ‘trios of fleas’ and many wonderful creatures, that his parents worry that he has ‘Animal-itis’. But the Doc says, “George is fine!” Parrots have him eating his carrots, handling more chores, and George happily heads to school with his new pet, Noah, for a grand finale like no other! Filled with rhymed laughter, this colorfully illustrated witty tale, about a boy named George, leads readers on a delightfully imaginative adventure. As George dreams of filling his home with a variety of pets, ordinary and extraordinary, his parents discover the advantages of George’s increasing menagerie, as he grows to be responsible and agreeable.

Projecting the Future Through Political Discourse

The Case of the Bush Doctrine

By: Patricia L. Dunmire

This monograph examines the rhetorical nature and function of representations of the future in political discourse, focusing on political actors use of hegemonic images of future reality to achieve their political goals. It argues that a key ideological dimension of political rhetoric lies in politicians use of projections of the future to legitimate policies and actions. This argument is grounded in systemic-functional and critical discourse analyses of the Bush Doctrine, the U.S. policy response to the September 11 terrorist attacks which sanctioned a preemptive military posture. By focusing on the discursive construction of the future, this project addresses a lacunae in critical discourse studies and calls attention to the crucial role that the discourse and practice of futurology has played in post-Cold War politics and society. It will be of value to scholars interested in the discourses of politics, the war on terror, U.S. national security, and futurology.
