Winner of the 2014 Colorado Prize for Poetry. Supplice is the second installment in T. Zachary Cotler's sonnet sequence that began with Sonnets to the Humans. "Supplice," the systematic infliction of physical and/or mental torture, is both the subject and the main character of this sequence. These are amatory sonnets, but with love and rhyme tortured into broken and boneset textures. Supplice herself, the dark lady of these sonnets, is difficult to pin down with an epithet. Is she the angel of reality, banality, popular culture, pornography, uncertainty, or economic and environmental crisis? She has something to do with the history of cruelty and pain, with the devaluation of traditional ideas of beauty, and with the silence and science that have replaced divinity. A moving love triangle is to be found in these pages, the vertices of which appear to be Supplice, the reader/writer, and one's unobtainable ideal.Supplice is Cotler's third book of poems. In...

Based on remarkable new research, acclaimed historian Alexander Rose
brings to life the true story of the spy ring that helped America win
the Revolutionary War. For the first time, Rose takes us beyond the
battlefront and deep into the shadowy underworld of double agents and
triple crosses, covert operations and code breaking, and unmasks the
courageous, flawed men who inhabited this wilderness of
mirrors—including the spymaster at the heart of it all. In the
summer of 1778, with the war poised to turn in his favor, General
George Washington desperately needed to know where the British would
strike next. To that end, he unleashed his secret weapon: an unlikely
ring of spies in New York charged with discovering the enemy’s battle
plans and military strategy. Washington’s small band included
a young Quaker torn between political principle and family loyalty, a
swashbuckling sailor addicted to the perils of espionage, a
hard-drinking barkeep, a Yale-educated cavalryman and friend of the
doomed Nathan Hale, and a peaceful, sickly farmer who begged Washington
to let him retire but who always came through in the end. Personally
guiding these imperfect everyday heroes was Washington himself. In an
era when officers were gentlemen, and gentlemen didn’ t spy, he
possessed an extraordinary talent for deception—and proved an adept
spymaster. The men he mentored were dubbed the Culper Ring. The
British secret service tried to hunt them down, but they escaped by
the closest of shaves thanks to their ciphers, dead drops, and
invisible ink. Rose’s thrilling narrative tells the unknown story of
the Revolution–the murderous intelligence war, gunrunning and
kidnapping, defectors and executioners—that has never appeared in the
history books. But Washington’s Spies is also a spirited, touching
account of friendship and trust, fear and betrayal, amid the dark and
silent world of the spy. Views: 27
In the history of cooking, there has been no more challenging environment than those craft in which humans took to the skies. The tale begins with meals aboard balloons and zeppelins, where cooking was accomplished below explosive bags of hydrogen, ending with space station dinners that were cooked thousands of miles below.This book is the first to chart that history worldwide, exploring the intricacies of inflight dining from 1783 to the present day, aboard balloons, zeppelins, land-based aircraft and flying boats, jets, and spacecraft. It charts the ways in which commercial travelers were lured to try flying with the promise of familiar foods, explains the problems of each aerial environment and how chefs, engineers, and flight crew adapted to them, and tells the stories of pioneers in the field. Hygiene and sanitation were often difficult, and cultural norms and religious practices had to be taken into account. The history is surprising and sometimes humorous at times some... Views: 27
