Book Description
His compassionate witness is born out of immersion in doggedly bittersweet particulars: the cock-eyed wisdom of 1950s science fiction movies; Do Not Disturb signs; vegetarian physics; the perils of bed-and-breakfast lodging; flying saucer disciples; what to do in case of Rapture; Debbie Fuller, reluctant childhood angel; the theory and practice of Spontaneous Human Combustion. His passionate transformation of that raw data into song - no matter how fragile or raucous - provides irrefutable testimony about the consequences of being nothing less than human, where "every day someone crawls out of his ocean of sleep / and takes those first tottering steps on the planet again / he's playing with real fire." And with Clewell's insistence on the unlikely grace in that condition, along with the generosity of his unabashed inclusiveness, his poetry is a powerful antidote to the bad medicine we're too often asked to swallow.

Book Description
A dark, no-holds-barred, and often hilarious collection from a prize-winning poet, veering between the poles of self and world. Kim Addonizio’s sharp and irreverent eighth volume, Now We’re Getting Somewhere, is an essential companion to your practice of the Finnish art of kalsarikännit—drinking at home, alone in your underwear, with no intention of going out. Imbued with the poet’s characteristic precision and passion, the collection charts a hazardous course through heartache, climate change, dental work, Outlander, semiotics, and more. Combatting existential gloom with a wicked, seductive energy, Addonizio investigates desire, loss, and the madness of contemporary life. She calls out to Walt Whitman and John Keats, echoes Dorothy Parker, and finds sisterhood with Virginia Woolf. Sometimes confessional, sometimes philosophical, these poems weave from desolation to drollery and clamor with raucous imagery: an insect in high heels, a wolf at an uncomfortable party, a glowing and self-serious guitar. A poet whose “voice lifts from the page, alive and biting” (Sky Sanchez, San Francisco Book Review), Addonizio reminds her reader, "if you think nothing & / no one can / listen I love you joy is coming."

Book Description
Four girls: dealer, junkie, recluse, thief Sarah, Jenna, Lauren, and Cassie may look like ordinary girls, but they're not. They're delinquents whose lives collide when they're sent to an experimental juvenile detention program on a farm in the middle of nowhere. As the girls face up to the crimes they committed, three of them will heal the wounds of their pasts and discover strengths they never dreamed they had. And one, driven by a deep secret of her own, will seek to destroy everything they've all worked so hard for. An Excerpt from Getting Somewhere: She thinks of herself as the surviving type. Able to make things work out the way she wants them to. Okay, so, yeah. This is a little glitch in her plans. But she's not going to stay. Absolutely no way. She'll just tell them she's not happy, that it isn't working out for her. The room where they put her is ridiculous. Tiny. No television, no phone. Geez, they even had those at detention. Well, not in the rooms, but still. Hell, if she has to, she'll just walk out. Nothing to stop her. It will be fine. It always is.

Book Description
This book is a variety of short stories and episodes that I faced while I was a police officer for the city of Newark, New Jersey for fifteen and a half years. It gives a brief description on daily routines that police officers were faced with on the job without a lot of today's technology. I was a street patrolman and didn't have too much knowledge or facts about on going events inside the police department. In this book I tried to convey my personal feelings, thoughts, actions, and some of my experiences on what I witnessed, did or heard on the streets of this city during my time as a police officer from January 6, 1964 to June 30, 1979.

Book Description
Michael 2 is the most controversial and dramatic story written up to date and it might be the single most eye opening book you will ever read. It is based on current events that ploy to undermine terrorism, all religions, and all governments. The world was once flat to those who were afraid to search beyond all the ancient myths and beliefs. Explorers with sails enlightened the world then. Now cell computers and the internet are used to free this world from the ignorance that enslaves it. Michael 2 is by far the most extreme and dangerous story to those who want to keep the world the way it is. He trained his entire life to fight for God but is defeated in his first battle by disbelief, lack of belief, and apathy. Michael 2 was defeated, but not God who drove him to get back up, dust off, and fight again. Michael 2, as God’s weapon of choice, will establish Christ’s words: “The last will be first and the first will be last.”
