Book Description
This is VOAs third published book of poetry. Here, he explores with tremendous passion, contemporary and political matters. He also delves into the little known, and philosophically alludes to life encounters that appear to have wrestled control out of his grip. His dreams, or visions, perhaps a little scary streamline augury of some sort. Some of his works are reminiscent of the legendary Christopher Okigbo, his hero, with whom he may have a lot in common; from ancestry to style, from Idoto to Ideakpulu, one river with sectional names. He expresses deep romantic imagery in Elegy to the dancing Poet, where intense love and admiration was terminated by sudden shocking untimely death. Anyaegbuna spares no vigour in lambasting bad leadership that has kept his country on her knees, with style and diction; from poems like Enemies of Nigeria, Those we voted, Anambra Elects, to the deeply historical like Oties Children that trace his ancestory with romantic didactism. In the long run, it is a great mix that will attract sentiments of fury and resentment, love and admiration, or none at all. He expresses his love and mastery of Nature in many poems with allegorical references to the wild, and concludes with uncommon style of Dimante Poems.

Papa's House
Author: Thomas Sullivan
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1639031677
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 50
Book Description
Our homeless population presents an opportunity and challenge for faith-based groups, nonprofits, and the government to develop programs to help people transition into safe affordable housing. While the majority of the homeless are men, women are the most vulnerable living on the street. Housing appears to be the primary need, as once people have secure housing, services can be provided and resources used to assist them become independent. Papa's House, while fictional, does present several characters struggling with life on the streets. While their backgrounds have similarities, each is unique. In Papa's House, the reader will meet these women and may even identify to them in some ways. Most homeless people do not want to be homeless and, given opportunity and compassion, will succeed in developing independence. It is the author's hope that the book will challenge and motivate readers to take action and become part of changing someone's life forever!

Pages : 177
Book Description
It is 1944, and war is raging in Europe and Japan. Chuck is still in high school but his dream is to join the army and fight the Germans. One day, in the spring of 1944, he was walking on a lonely road and met someone that caused him to have another dream. This dream began when he met Betty Watson, the bank president's daughter. His good fortune began when, by a chance meeting, the Desoto she was driving had a flat tire. Her misfortune became Chuck's continuing desire to marry the girl of his dreams even though she was a few years older than he was. Although the two became good friends, Betty frequently reminded him that she had a boyfriend and that he was serving his country in the military. That information, although disheartening, did not keep Chuck from pursuing her. Betty and Chuck spent weeks together going places such as the bowling alley, the skating rink and the movies, while both insisted they were not dating. Chuck's older sister spilled the beans about the couple to his father who was not thrilled. His father suggested he date girls in school that were closer to his age but to no avail. Chuck had a one-track mind and that one track was Betty. In conversations between them Betty expressed doubt about a commitment from her soldier boyfriend and that was all the encouragement Chuck needed. After avoiding Chuck for several weeks, Betty confided in him that she was pregnant and her boyfriend, Bobby, was the father of the child. The announcement was a blow to him but Chuck was still not ready to give up on marrying her. However, when Betty's parents found out about her pregnancy, they shipped her off to California to have the baby and place it up for adoption. With one dream dimming the other was still very much alive. He graduated from high school and joined the army. Even though the war in Europe was winding down, the war in Japan was still very much alive. Chuck continued to write letters to Betty but at some point, her letters stopped. Chuck's interest in Betty had to be put on the back burner because of his military duties including guarding a brothel in Japan. After his discharge from the army Chuck attempted to rekindle their story but by that time Betty had married the father of her child. Even though he was still in love with Betty, he felt it was time for him to move on with his life. Where would he go from there?

Papa Sartre
Author: بدر، علي
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 9774162986
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 185
Book Description
After a failed study mission in France, Abd al-Rahman returns home to Iraq to launch an existentialist movement akin to that of his hero. Convinced that it falls upon him to introduce his country's intellectuals to Sartre's thought, he feels especially qualified by his physical resemblance to the philosopher (except for the crossed eyes) and by his marriage to Germaine, who he claims is the great man's cousin. Meanwhile, his wealth and family prestige guarantee him an idle life spent in drinking, debauchery, and frequenting a well-known nightclub. But is his suicide an act of philosophical despair, or a reaction to his friend's affair with Germaine? A biographer chosen by his presumed friends narrates the story of a somewhat bewildered young man who--like other members of his generation--was searching for a meaning to his life. This parody of the abuses and extravagances of pseudo-philosophers in the Baghdad of the sixties throws into relief the Iraqi intellectual and cultural life of the time and the reversal of fortune of some of Iraq's wealthy and powerful families.
