Book Description
Mr. West covers the main events in superstar Kanye West's life while also following the poet on her year spent researching, writing, and pregnant. The book explores how we are drawn to celebrities—to their portrayal in the media—and how we sometimes find great private meaning in another person's public story, even across lines of gender and race. Blake's aesthetics take her work from prose poems to lineated free verse to tightly wound lyrics to improbably successful sestinas. The poems fully engage pop culture as a strange, complicated presence that is revealing of America itself. This is a daring debut collection and a groundbreaking work. An online reader's companion will be available at http://sarahblake.site.wesleyan.edu.

Book Description
Black celebrities in America have always walked a precarious line between their perceived status as spokespersons for their race and their own individual success--and between being "not black enough" for the black community or "too black" to appeal to a broader audience. Few know this tightrope walk better than Kanye West, who transformed hip-hop, pop and gospel music, redefined fashion, married the world's biggest reality TV star and ran for president, all while becoming one of only a handful of black billionaires worldwide. Despite these accomplishments, his polarizing behavior, controversial alliances and bouts with mental illness have made him a caricature in the media and a disappointment among much of his fanbase. This book examines West's story and what it reveals about black celebrity and identity and the American dream.

Book Description
In this New York Times bestseller, the White House chief usher for nearly three decades offers a behind-the-scenes look at America’s first families. J. B. West, chief usher of the White House, directed the operations and maintenance of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue—and coordinated its daily life—at the request of the president and his family. He directed state functions; planned parties, weddings and funerals, gardens and playgrounds, and extensive renovations; and, with a large staff, supervised every activity in the presidential home. For twenty-eight years, first as assistant to the chief usher, then as chief usher, he witnessed national crises and triumphs, and interacted daily with six consecutive presidents and first ladies, as well as their parents, children and grandchildren, and houseguests—including friends, relatives, and heads of state. J. B. West, whom Jackie Kennedy called “one of the most extraordinary men I have ever met,” provides an absorbing, one-of-a-kind history of life among the first ladies. Alive with anecdotes ranging from Eleanor Roosevelt’s fascinating political strategies to Jackie Kennedy’s tragic loss and the personal struggles of Pat Nixon, Upstairs at the White House is a rich account of a slice of American history that usually remains behind closed doors.

Book Description
Aidan West: I'm a jackass.But you know what? At least I'm willing to admit that. I'm not like these imposters walking around, wearing their false identities to the public. They don their business suits and pretend they're reasonable fair men in the world of cutthroat business. These douchebags will f*ck you over the second your back is turned to them.Not me. I'll f*ck you over while I'm looking straight into your eyes, and I won't hesitate to do it.I'm Aidan f*cking West. The Asshole of the East. I'm greedy and cold, and I take what I want. And what I want since the passenger next to me opened her mouth and uttered the word "f*ck" is to stick my tongue down her throat and taste her. Taste every inch of her.I'm a man that gets what he wants. And what I want is Ivy Montcalm. The black- and red-haired girl who shows up in my life, swearing like a pirate, dressed in nothing but short-shorts and a tiny top.She's my quest, and I never let a quest go unfinished.Ivy Montcalm: Aidan West is the most arrogant man I have ever met. He's loaded with charm, has a filthy mouth, and don't get me started on those late night messages!What we have is more than just attraction, though. I fear it's something deeper. I started off as a quest, but I think I'm more than that now.I've never wanted a man more, but I can't have him. Not when my world is in shambles and I'm trying to build the courage to end this toxic chapter of my life and start over.I'm hurting, and he's there for me.I'm lonely and he fills that void.He offers me friendship when I want more.When he wants more, I'm terrified of change.How do you let go of familiarity when it's all you've known?I'm scared I'm not strong enough, and I'm scared Aidan won't be there waiting for me when I finally am. Mister West is book 1 of 2 in the Mister West duet.Book 2, titled SIR, will be released soon.
