Book Description
Adsits Poetry Anthology, Volume I presents a collection of three generations of American poetry from the Adsit family, written by Tim Adsit, his parents, and his grandmother. This unique anthology contains inspirational poetry with recurring themes focusing on wilderness, the nature of man, family, home, love, life, death, faith, patriotism, country, humor, and emotions, as well as personal thoughts and reflections gained while outdoors hunting, hiking, camping, and fishing. With these inspiring thoughts and poetic images, the Adsit family brings us immediately into the beautiful world of nature and human nature. Relaxed, warmly intimate, and sometimes humorous, these verses reveal the inspiring world of nature that provides insight into what we are as human beings; what attitudes and beliefs we should take toward life, its Creator, death, and faith; and the way in which we should mature and develop daily in wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and humility. Each poet at once sees connections between the creatures and situations in nature, and in the opportunities in our own lives. They each have a genuine gift for discovering and presenting new ideas in refreshing ways showing that there is a stillness in nature that speaks louder than a choir of voices.

Book Description
During a time of cultural revolution and civil war, Reverends Glyn and Jean Adsit were missionaries in rural Hofei, China. The political unrest led to many harrowing experiences, as the two were shot at, arrested, incarcerated, and had to flee for their lives when caught in the middle of two advancing armies. In his book, Seeds of Change, Dr. Tim L. Adsit tells the story of his parents' time in China—their struggles and their triumphs. Adsit gives the reader the opportunity to relive the missionary lives of Reverends Glyn and Jean. He provides a rare and unforgettable glimpse into day-to-day missionary life, service, and adventures. One of the greatest contributions of this book is that it traces the general history of the Disciples of Christ missionary movement in China from 1886 to 1951. Also included are never-before-published primary sources to add to the history of the era and work on the mission field in China. '...Here we have a story which began in a simpler, more generous time. It's a story about a couple who struggled like the rest of us with the common, debilitating issues of life, and yet made life-long decisions flowing not from self-interest, but from compassion for others...It's a love story—not only of the deep, selfless love that Glyn and Jean had for each other, but the preeminent love they both had for Jesus Christ...We don't get to read stories like this much anymore.' —Chris Adsit, Director of Disciplemakers International and Director of Resource Initiatives, Military Ministry

Book Description
When will American poetry and poetics stop viewing poetry by racialized persons as a secondary subject within the field? Dorothy J. Wang makes an impassioned case that now is the time. Thinking Its Presence calls for a radical rethinking of how American poetry is being read today, offering its own reading as a roadmap. While focusing on the work of five contemporary Asian American poets—Li-Young Lee, Marilyn Chin, John Yau, Mei-mei Berssenbrugge, and Pamela Lu—the book contends that aesthetic forms are inseparable from social, political, and historical contexts in the writing and reception of all poetry. Wang questions the tendency of critics and academics alike to occlude the role of race in their discussions of the American poetic tradition and casts a harsh light on the double standard they apply in reading poems by poets who are racial minorities. This is the first sustained study of the formal properties in Asian American poetry across a range of aesthetic styles, from traditional lyric to avant-garde. Wang argues with conviction that critics should read minority poetry with the same attention to language and form that they bring to their analyses of writing by white poets.

Book Description
What distinguishes this from other poetry market guides is the guiding hand of Judson Jerome, who knows poetry equally well from its aesthetic and its business ends. In addition to all the expected features, he adds a coding system for identifying the level and type of submission desired, a welcome time and ego saver.
