Coffin Honey
Author: Todd DavisPublisher: MSU Press
ISBN: 1628954620
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
In Coffin Honey, his seventh book of poems, celebrated poet Todd Davis explores the many forms of violence we do to each other and to the other living beings with whom we share the planet. Here racism, climate collapse, and pandemic, as well as the very real threat of extinction—both personal and across ecosystems—are dramatized in intimate portraits of Rust-Belt Appalachia: a young boy who has been sexually assaulted struggles with dreams of revenge and the possible solace that nature might provide; a girl whose boyfriend has enlisted in the military faces pregnancy alone; and a bear named Ursus navigates the fecundity of the forest after his own mother’s death, literally crashing into the encroaching human world. Each poem in Coffin Honey seeks to illuminate beauty and suffering, the harrowing precipice we find ourselves walking nearer to in the twenty-first century. As with his past prize-winning volumes, Davis, whose work Orion Magazine likens to that of Wendell Berry and Mary Oliver, names the world with love and care, demonstrating what one reviewer describes as his knowledge of “Latin names, common names, habitats, and habits . . . steeped in the exactness of the earth and the science that unfolds in wildness.”

Book Description
International suspense superstar Kjell Eriksson produces another masterful work of murder, intrigue, and page-turning action in this latest thriller, which features his popular series-detective Ann Lindell. One sunny summer morning a young woman and her six-year old daughter are run over by a car. Both are killed immediately. Is it an accident, or did someone kill them on purpose? The same morning the husband of the deceased young woman disappears. During the police investigation, it turns out that the husband had recently bought a property that nobody knew anything about. A few days later a macabre discovery is made in a forest nearby. Eriksson has been nominated for the Best Swedish Crime Novel many times, including for Stone Coffin—the seventh novel in his critically-acclaimed and internationally-loved Ann Lindell series.

Book Description
In Series 1 "YAMATAI-koku HIMIKO (SEQ1)", we looked at the distributions of the Remains at "Medium-stream riverside of the HOMAN river, Japan" of Queen HIMIKO age. We talked that there are "Wold" village group and " Plateau" village group. Furthermore we talked that "IRAIJYAKU Remains" the representative of "Plateau" village group and an Enemy Watchtower at WA-koku TAIRAN age. We will look at the details of "IRAIJYAKU". There are seven hundreds houses in 70 years. "IRAIJYAKU" was the big village which had regularly one hundred houses, if the housese were rebuilt every ten years. Therefore the reading is hard work. But we will pick up only the major and characteristic relics. Seven "Forging Iron Wing-Flanged Axe" were excavated in "IRAIJYAKU". That Iron Axe was only one each local village of the FUKUOKA Plain of Japan. We will look at "IRAIJYAKU" as these characteristic relics as well as the Enemy Watchtower which we saw in "続1".
