Yes, Cancer French Kisses
Author: D.C. Berry
Publisher: Texas A&M University Press
ISBN: 1680031163
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 88
Book Description
An “X-ray” of Berry's two flings with Multiple Myeloma condensed into haikus. Except where he fudges-out of the haiku syllable-count strait jacket, then calls them cell phone texts, or telegrams, or poemettes if in a poodle mood. Or finger sandwiches in which the baloney is bigger than the bread. Sometimes he raps. Beowulf: Oft Scyld Scefing sceabena preatum. Jump to William Langland (Piers Plowman): A fair field full of folk. On to Shakespeare: Beated and chopp’d with tann’d antiquity. And James Jibber Joyce: Seaspawn and seawrack, the nearing tide, the rusty boot. Snotgreen, bluesilver rust. Eminem gets the last word-spasm: And just blurt this berserk and bizarre shit that works . . . . Berry didn’t battle cancer, but embraced her: Miss Myeloma or Mylo.

JUNG’S DEMON, A serial-killer’s tale of love and madness
Author: Trygve E. Wighdal
Publisher: A. Wigdal & Sons, LLC
ISBN: 1733815112
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
How to put a method, a structure in madness? ”Since I’d be first to cast a stone at a murderer—I am one after all—I venture on writing these truthful chronicles as a study of human suffering,” writes a serial-killer, in a story of self-discovery gone amok. JUNG’S DEMON is a book as hallucinogenic as Hunter S. Thompson and as powerful as Oscar Zeta Acosta. It is as tragic as Malcolm Lowry and occasionally as funny as David Foster Wallace. "The murders Roman L. had committed with such a ferocious, savage intensity send shivers down my spine every time I reflect on his brutally honest confessions. He writes about “sinking into the terrifying Hell of my own soul, a cold, utter darkness of the scariest, most painful insanity that peels off your skin while your brain screams, crushed by madness.” Even now as I copy his words here, I shake as I furtively look around. And I am afraid. I dread, no matter how irrationally, that I somehow might meet him or one of his scary personalities anew, and, like I was once before in Paris, again be tricked into liking him by his disarming, almost child-like smile and by his mirthful laughter that hid both the frightened child in him and the terrifying, heartless monster sneering behind. This book contains his chronicles. His harrowing descent into Hell.” Think Kafka on acid and sprinkle some humor over it; that's JUNG'S DEMON. “What if I should discover that I myself am the enemy who must be loved? What then?” Carl Gustav Jung

Book Description
What happens when a long-dead uncle gets permission to visit his family on earth as an instructing angel? The Portman family is about to find out! Overwhelmed by the death of a beloved grandfather, the Portmans escape to the wilderness to grieve on an extended camping trip. There, they come face-to-face with their own "inner wilderness" of anger, pain, and despair. Their angel, Michael, helps them see what is at stake in their spiritual crisis. The father, Steve, is forced to make painful confessions to his family, connected to his brother Michael's mysterious death in a boating accident at Cape Desperate some twenty years earlier. His wife Abby is able to pour out her anxieties about motherhood and marriage. Son Jake needs dating advice, and daughter Becca is a victim of cyberbullying and needs lessons in forgiveness. The angel patiently counsels them all, answering their questions about the meaning of suffering, the realities of heaven and hell, the existence of Satan, the hidden secrets of Armageddon, the authority of the Bible, the role of non-Christian religions, the seeker's pathway to inner peace, and how to discover God's will for their lives. Then, a terrible accident brings their journey to an abrupt climax!
