Alexander Steele meets with his friends for help in the Case of the Death Dealer. Time is running out for Steele to prevent the shipment of fast killing drugs from hitting the streets of Philly.This poem set journeys into the postmodern American psyche. The book walks the streets in ecclesiast humor, insight, meditation, and atomic power of desire for culture. An odyssey offering commercial mind's regress wrote to our age of medication and lack of focus. How our deepest desire for love, lust, and lucidity all commingle. Ideas about culture ranging from classical past, to stagnate commercial present. The poems bend and blend our heritage, and create no distinction between our loves and commercial vapidity. The book starts in the funny trippy way some pop culture personas have influenced our lives. From Cary Grant dropping acid in the 50's, to the salacious Debbie of Dallas the book covers the gamut of pop culture. The book then goes into a dream state of pop culture. Popular pop subjects Kurt Vonnegut, Orson Welles, Sergei Eisenstein, tripping to a movie theater, subway voyage, Bonnie Raitt, and Michael Bolton turning and twisting into a mind meld. The Jeremiads arriving last into our collective unconsciousness on the foibles of our society. With poems on Jersey Shore, cell phones, righteous persons, and a Howl inspired poem called 2 My Generation (The Baby Boomers Children). This book can not be missed. It will tap you consciousness, inspire, and drive your soul. The first work penned from a unique and embryonic writer. Views: 240

Trazando sin saberlo, al moverse abrazados, la rúbrica de un mundo irreal cuyas luces fatigadas empiezan a apagarse para siempre.»
Un extraño desafío entre dos músicos, que lleva a uno de ellos a Buenos Aires en 1928; un asunto de espionaje en la Riviera francesa durante la Guerra Civil española; una inquietante partida de ajedrez en el Sorrento de los años sesenta...

Her parents forbid the union and whisk the impulsive child away to Bath so that she might forget her troubles. Distraught and vowing that she will never love again, Mabel impulsively accepts a teaching position while on vacation in Bath, certain that this will ensure her spinsterhood and prove her undying love for Charlie. Irene Hartley, a five-year-old student desperately in love with her new teacher, persuades her parents to offer Mabel a position as governess to their growing brood.

Only? It was the last word in summer resorts! The millionaires backing it had spent eighteen million dollars on it. They had placed it on a fine road to New York. They ran planes and busses to it. They were going to clean up five hundred per cent on their investment, in real estate deals and rentals. On this, its formal opening night, the place was wide open. In every beautiful summer home all lights were on, whether the home in question was tenanted or not. The stores were open, whether or not customers were available. The inns and small hotels were gay with decorations. But it was at the big hotel at the hub of the town that the gayeties attendant on such a stupendous opening night were at their most complete. Every room and suite was occupied. The lobby was crowded. Formally dressed guests strolled the promenade, and tried fruitlessly to gain admission to the already overcrowded roof garden. Views: 238
