Book Description
Poetry. The poems in COLLECTING SILENCE leap and startle. In searing images, they explore both "the unbearable weight" and joy, as life arcs through youth to maturation to aging. These are poems that draw on Narwani's experience of growing up in Canada in a Baltic-German family forced to emigrate from their homeland Latvia. Throughout, the poems converse with the Pieta, the "Mona Lisa" and Magritte's "The False Mirror." Always Narwani listens for what bridges boundaries, separations, for the inner home that sustains and renews us. In an age of non-stop chatter, these poems remind us of our power to listen, reshape and transform. It is in our silences, she says, that memories, our deepest experiences, talk to us in a language "we all know without speaking."

All three books in 'Silence And Shadows', a series of historical mystery novels by Dodie Bishop, now in one volume! The Other Side Of Silence: Set in the scandalous court of King Charles II, portrait miniaturist Susannah Gresham returns to Whitehall Palace after a three-year absence to find herself drawn to Florentine jeweler Raphael Rossi. When Susannah's friend Sam Carter is wrongly accused of murder and sentenced to death, Susannah and Raphael team up to uncover the truth and save Sam's life. But with dangerous enemies lurking and time running out, Susannah and Raphael must race against the clock to catch the real killer. Our Little Life: In 1676, 'spirits' are haunting the kingdom and eight-year-old Penny is kidnapped outside Whitehall Palace and taken to the West Indies. Susannah, Raphael, and Sam Carter race against time, treachery, and powerful enemies to find Penny, reuniting with Noah and Hal Bartholomew along the way. Despite months of fruitless searching, a lead takes them to a sugar plantation in Barbados, but it may be too late. Our Little Life is a thrilling historical adventure set in the 17th century West Indies. A Slave To Kings: Set in Florence in 1677, A Slave To Kings follows Sam as he assumes a new identity as part of his mother's Cardinale family, while Raphael introduces his new family to his Florentine one and uncovers life-changing revelations. In London, Noah seeks revenge on those behind the attempt on Sam's life, and Susannah inadvertently reveals to the Duke of Monmouth that Sam is still alive. But as Sam seeks safety in Florence, his enemies may already be closing in.

Book Description
An urgent new collection from the winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award and “one of the undisputed master poets of our time” (Craig Morgan Teicher, NPR) Words, voices reek of the worlds from which they emerge: different worlds, each with its all but palpable aroma, its parameters, limitations, promise. Words—there is a gap, nonetheless always and forever, between words and the world— slip, slide, are imprecise, BLIND, perish. • Set up a situation,— . . . then reveal an abyss. For more than fifty years, Frank Bidart has given voice to the inner self, to the depths of his own psyche and the unforgettable characters that populate his poems. In Against Silence, the Pulitzer Prize winner’s eleventh collection of poetry, Bidart writes of the cycles we cannot escape and the feelings we cannot forget. Our history is not a tabula rasa but a repeating, refining story of love and hate, of words spoken and old cruelties enacted. Moving among the dead and the living, the figures of his life and of his past, Bidart calls reality forth—with nothing settled and nothing forgotten, we must speak.

This is a collection of poems that hopefully remind us that silence is indeed a virtue, sometimes. Pick up a copy and decide for yourself when to be silent or when to speak up.

Book Description
This three-book bindup of Tim Shoemaker’s Code of Silence novels takes readers on a series of realistic, nail-biting adventures. In Code of Silence, friends Cooper, Hiro, and Gordy witness a robbery … but when it appears several cops are behind the crime, they aren’t sure who they can trust. Telling the truth could be deadly. But remaining silent could mean an innocent man’s life. In Back Before Dark, the three friends find themselves caught in a trap that leads to Gordy’s abduction. As time goes by without any clues or messages from the kidnapper, Cooper takes things into his own hands. But his choices could place him in even greater danger. Finally, in Below the Surface, what was meant as a peaceful summer vacation turns frightening when Hiro is convinced she witnessed a murder on the lake. Though her instincts are rarely wrong, it appears Hiro may be mistaken this time. Unless the strange accidents happening to Cooper and Gordy are signs of something deeper and more frightening than any of them could imagine.

Book Description
This book is about silence and power and how they interact. It argues that only by studying how silence works—how it is implicated in the construction of meaning—can we arrive at the elusive roots of power in all its dimensions. Silence becomes the currency of power by delineating the margins or what we perceive and through a sleight of hand wherein behaviors undertaken in the service of self-interest appear instead as inevitable and devoid of human agency. The theoretical load of this argument is carried by vivid ethnographic material dealing with music, linguistic behavior, racial conflicts, work dislocations, and the construction of anthropological subjects and texts.
