The great merit of this textbook resides in its sensitivity to the problems of the intermediate student, for whom Catullus will represent a first exposure to 'real Latin.'...Overall, this is a very responsible textbook....
Brand new edited translations of the Miracles of St Edmund; two major Latin miracle collections compiled by Herman the Archdeacon, and an anonymous hagiographer who, Licence proposes, was Goscelin of Saint-Bertin
Foreword Friends, Family and Readers Here we are. We have just crossed over the Hump as The Poetry Posse. In month 7 our theme is Summer Fun, Joy and all those "Feel Good" things. I wish to thank each of the Poets for their contribution of verse and perspective. I think you will enjoy this one as you embrace the words of each soul and consider how does this apply or not to your own personal journey. As we share our thoughts, there is a vicarious nature which we can embrace and thus broaden our own perspectives, dreams and visions as the possibilities manifest into being. Bottom line . . . enjoy your summer and the brightness that has been waiting for you to arrive. Be sure to check out our internationally acclaimed Feature Poets to include Christena A. V. Williams from Jamaica, Dr. John R. Strum (Bob) from Australia and Kolade Olanrewaju Freedom from Nigeria . . . they each have a unique and prolific voice. . . . enjoy Bless Up Bill
Tarik Amin Clayton, a/k/a The Poet Amin was born in New Britain, CT. He comes from a loving family and is the youngest of six siblings. The Poet Amin grew up in a fairly rough neighborhood on New Britain's north side of town. This is where his journey of writing began.The Poet Amin suffers from mental illness, in particular major depression, and started drinking and abusing drugs at a very young age. He was in and out of prison for possession charges, but the poet never lost his vision. The poet now lives drug and alcohol free since June 3, 2009.Life, Hell & Heaven is his own personal story, which confronts the pain of being trapped in hell. Before you enter into the "Heaven" part of this book, it begins with the poem "Welcome." You will then start traveling into this "One World of Poetry." As he prepares you for future book titles to come, Life, Hell & Heaven is the foundation and is guaranteed to bring an understanding to those who may not know its roots of destruction. Looking in from the outside, but hearing about it from the horse's mouth is another thing; this man has been there and done that! He says to all active addicts that there is a better way. He thanks God every day for his divine talent and being able to express himself and help others in his own creative way.The Poet Amin runs a poetry venue in New Britain at the public library where he and others meet once a month and read openly to the public, but mostly to one another. As an end note, for many years the Poet could not read or write, and he memorized his poems and had friends write his words down. Growing tired of this process, The Poet Amin taught himself to read and write, and is currently working on obtaining his GED. Someday, he hopes to be a drug and alcohol counselor for troubled teens.
Chafe's analysis of changing social patterns is both solid and imaginative in the best sense ... His book will certainly increase our understanding of where we are going--and why."--Elizabeth Janeway "Adopted as required reading - tremendously popular with students - provokes lively debates."--John Rhinehart, Riverside Community College "A trenchant analysis of the underlying social and economic changes of the past century ... Particularly insightful in analyzing the ways in which racial and sexual inequality are both similar and fundamentally different."--Alice S. Rossi, University of Massachus.
This is The Poet Amin¿s second book. The poems in this book open up the door to different dimensions of thought manifestations that travel in all the same worlds and zones of love, hate, happiness, anger, joy and sadness. The manuscript, One World of Poetry, is the writer¿s philosophy. Every piece he writes is connected to OneSource, in one form or another. About the Author Tarik Clayton, a/ka/a ¿The Poet Amin¿, is a native of New Britain Connecticut. He owes his writing journey to his older brother, Aaron, who inspired him greatly. It all started in 1983 when he discovered Aaron¿s personal collection of rhymes, while snooping through his sock drawer. That day changed his life tremendously, and since then he has been creating his own rhymes. The Poet Amin started a poetry reading at the New Britain Public Library, formed by The Hard Hittin¿ Poets Group in 2009. Their goal was to expand regionally and they did. They now hold readings at Trinity on Main Performance art Center also in New Britain The Poet Amin lives and breathes poetry and considers himself a visionary.
