Book Description
This fruitful pairing of literary and biographical interpretation follows Wallace Stevens’s poetry through the lens of its dominant metaphor—the seasons of nature—and illuminates the poet’s personal life experiences reflected there. From Stevens’s first collection, Harmonium (1923), to his last poems written shortly before his death in 1955, George S. Lensing offers clear and detailed examination of Stevens’s seasonal poetry, including extensive discussions of “Autumn Refrain,” “The Snow Man,” “The World as Meditation,” and “Credences of Summer.” Drawing upon a vast knowledge of the poet, Lensing argues that Stevens’s pastoral poetry of the seasons assuaged a profound and persistent personal loneliness. An important scholarly assessment of a major twentieth-century modernist, Wallace Stevens and the Seasons also serves as an appealing introduction to Stevens.

Book Description
Red York has seen it all: the Maple Leafs’ forty-five consecutive Stanley Cups, Toronto’s designation as a United Nations World Heritage Site, the emergence of the Toronto Telegram as the nation’s greatest newspaper. Now, in response to at least two readers’ requests, and with the aid of a ghostwriter whose name he can’t ever remember, the award-winning columnist has penned a definitive history of the city of Toronto in the back half of the 20th century. This to-the-best-of-my-recollection memoir, is something which he if no one else believes is a Canadian treasure and the definitive account of the greatest phenomenon in sports: the sheer domination of the Toronto Maple Leafs in National Hockey League and Olympic competition.

Book Description
A middle aged housewife, lost in her perfect suburban existence. A lonely ivy league college grad with a musician’s soul. Brought together by chance, held together by attraction, one magic spring turns into a summer they will never forget. "The Quiet of Spring" is a Cougar Love Story about one housewife’s chance at forbidden romance. “Simultaneously sweet and sexy.” Julia can’t seem to put a finger on what’s missing from her life. She has a successful husband, three happy children, and a beautiful home in an affluent neighborhood that she loves. Why does she feel so alone? Why isn’t everything she has enough to make her happy? "I loved this story...The characters were believable and lifelike. I have to admit, I fell in love with Julia myself." When Tyler, a tall, handsome college grad who is trying to get out from under the thumb of his wealthy father, moves in next door for the summer, he takes an immediate interest in Julia’s daily life. She feels like a schoolgirl again. He fills her days with delight and her heart with passion in a way she thought was lost to her forever. “...both titillating and romantic in the true sense of the word, difficult to achieve in this genre.” Tyler’s pull on Julia’s heartstrings is stronger than even her husband’s, but is it stronger than her dedication to her children? Is their flirtation merely a crush, or could it–should it–be more? “My heart was pounding and I couldn’t put it down!” This emotional romance takes you through the ups and downs of a summer affair between an older woman who is stuck in a troubled marriage and the younger man who offers her a second chance at life. Will their summer affair end in forever? Or will the commitment she has for her husband and her family put their new love in danger of heartbreak? Buy your copy today and reawaken your wild side...

Book Description
The first fundamental truth about the "Arab Spring" is that there never was one. The salient fact of the Middle East, the only one, is Islam. The Islam that shapes the Middle East inculcates in Muslims the self-perception that they are members of a civilization implacably hostile to the West. The United States is a competitor to be overcome, not the herald of a culture to be embraced. Is this self-perception based on objective truth? Does it reflect an accurate construction of Islam? It is over these questions that American officials and Western intellectuals obsess. Yet the questions are irrelevant. This is not a matter of right or wrong, of some posture or policy whose subtle tweaking or outright reversal would change the facts on the ground. This is simply, starkly, the way it is. Every human heart does not yearn for freedom. In the Islam of the Middle East, "freedom" means something very nearly the opposite of what the concept connotes to Westerners – it is the freedom that lies in total submission to Allah and His law. That law, sharia, is diametrically opposed to core components of freedom as understood in the West – beginning with the very idea that man is free to make law for himself, irrespective of what Allah has ordained. It is thus delusional to believe, as the West's Arab Spring fable insists, that the region teems with Jamal al-Madisons holding aloft the lamp of liberty. Do such revolutionary reformers exist? Of course they do . . . but in numbers barely enough to weave a fictional cover story. When push came to shove – and worse – the reformers were overwhelmed, swept away by a tide of Islamic supremacism, the dynamic, consequential mass movement that beckons endless winter. That is the real story of the Arab Spring – that, and the Pandora's Box that opens when an American administration aligns with that movement, whose stated goal is to destroy America.
