I Have AIDS!

By: Sky Gilbert

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

When stand-up comic Prodon Slamzeck tells his lover Vidor that he has AIDS, it barely interrupts their dinner. And why should it? What was once a death sentence is now no more than a chronic condition, and most gay men deal with AIDS with much less melodrama than they did years ago.

St. Stephen's

By: Sky Gilbert

Sky Gilbert boldly challenges the boundaries of gay politics and politically correct intellectualism in St. Stephen's, an intriguing and sexually charged story of a university professor's trysts with his younger male students. Never afraid to confront even the most taboo of taboos, Gilbert sets his novel in a conservative, small town university, allowing him the platform he needs to bring the difficult subject matter to the fore.

Leap to Wholeness

How the World Is Programmed to Help Us Grow, Heal, and Adapt

By: Sky Nelson-Isaacs

How do you get something out of nothing? It seems like an obvious question, one that drives everything from spiritual creation stories to our understanding of the Big Bang. Yet it leaves us with a sense that underneath everything lies emptiness and lack. We can phrase this question in a new way: how do we get something out of everything? In Leap to Wholeness, physics educator Sky Nelson-Isaacs explores the science of wholeness. To understand wholeness, imagine a beautiful photograph that you want to modify. The image exists in space. Yet graphic designers are familiar with another space, called the frequency domain, or “pattern-space.” Here, changes to the patterns affect the image as a whole. We can make the entire image blurrier or sharper, for instance, with a simple filter in pattern-space. A change to one local region affects the image everywhere. This is an example of wholeness that exists right before our eyes. We each have filters that influence what we see, hear, think, and feel. They take who we are as a whole, and they limit it to what we feel comfortable with--what we already know, rather than how we can grow. We carry models that interpret the world for us. But we can become more aware of our filters and from this awareness experience more flow, more openness, and less anxiety. When we align with circumstances rather than fighting them, we open the door to synchronicities that give us leverage in creating the change we want to see. Following this thread from modern audio technology, to the human brain, to the very nature of time itself, Leap to Wholeness explores a paradigm of wholeness that is easy to miss. For instance, when you look at the red part of a rainbow, you may not realize that you’re really seeing white light that’s had blue and green filtered out. Or where you see blue, that means red and green are missing. Maybe creating something out of everything is not about what we do...but about what we don’t do. By removing filters--thoughts, feelings, and other reactions--that keep us weaving the same old patterns, we naturally allow ourselves to grow, heal, and adapt.

The Unraveling

High Hopes and Missed Opportunities in Iraq

By: Emma Sky

When Emma Sky volunteered to help rebuild Iraq after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein in 2003, she had little idea what she was getting in to. Her assignment was only supposed to last three months. She went on to serve there longer than any other senior military or diplomatic figure, giving her an unrivaled perspective of the entire conflict. As the representative of the Coalition Provisional Authority in Kirkuk in 2003 and then the political advisor to US General Odierno from 2007–2010, Sky was valued for her knowledge of the region and her outspoken voice. She became a tireless witness to American efforts to transform a country traumatized by decades of war, sanctions, and brutal dictatorship; to insurgencies and civil war; to the planning and implementation of the surge and the subsequent drawdown of US troops; to the corrupt political elites who used sectarianism to mobilize support; and to the takeover of a third of the country by the Islamic State. With sharp detail and tremendous empathy, Sky provides unique insights into the US military as well as the complexities, diversity, and evolution of Iraqi society. The Unraveling is an intimate insider’s portrait of how and why the Iraq adventure failed and contains a unique analysis of the course of the war. Highlighting how nothing that happened in Iraq after 2003 was inevitable, Sky exposes the failures of the policies of both Republicans and Democrats, and the lessons that must be learned about the limitations of power.

Life After the L Word

By: Nina Sky

Many people don t believe in God, his son Jesus, or the Holy Spirit. I know the Lord is real because he has a presence. Whenever I have needed him, he has always been there. Whenever I thought it was the end, he said it was just the beginning. When I thought I was alone, he assured me I wasn t. When I ve been knocked down, he extended his hand, told me to get back up, and try again. Lord, I thank you for changing my life. Even though I still have a long road to travel on my spiritual journey, I know you will be there every step of the way (like you have always been). This book is based upon the story of my life. I ve truly had my share of experiences, and this book will reveal a lot of them. My goal in writing this book is to give people hope to follow their dreams, rise above other people s expectations (or non-expectations), and change is possible. I sincerely hope you will learn or take something positive with you from my experiences. Enjoy the book!

Shakespeare Lied

By: Sky Gilbert

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Shakespeare Lied

By: Sky Gilbert

Shakespeare Lied is Sky Gilbert's second rumination on Shakespeare to be published by Guernica Editions. It places 'the bard' at the centre of present day debates over 'political correctness.' James Baldwin said Shakespeare's goal was "to defeat all labels and complicate all battles by insisting on the human riddle." Gilbert asserts Shakespeare is not just another dead irrelevant white guy, but that he-- in the tradition of the Greek rhetorician Gorgias, and the scandalous, pornographic poet Ovid -- was a magnificent, and quite intentional, liar. Shakespeare believed the purpose of art was not to teach, but instead to help us transcend traditional notions of truth.
