On the Way Out, Turn Off the Light
Author: Marge PiercyPublisher: Knopf
ISBN: 0593317939
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
A bountiful group of poems--direct, honest, and revelatory--that reflect on language, nature, old age, young love, Judaism, and our current politics, from one of our most read and admired poets "Words are my business," Marge Piercy begins her twentieth collection of poetry, a glance back at a lifetime of learning, loving, grieving, and fighting for the disenfranchised, and a look forward at what the future holds for herself, her family and friends, and her embattled country. In the opening section, Piercy tells of her childhood in Detroit, with its vacant lots and scrappy children, the bike that gave her wings, her ambition at fourteen to "gobble" down all knowledge, and a too-early marriage ("I put on my first marriage / like a girdle my skinny body / didn't need"). We then leap into the present, her "twilight zone," where she is "learning to be quiet," learning to give praise despite it all. There are funny poems about medicine ads with their dire warnings, and some possible plusses about being dead: "I'll never do another load of laundry . . ." There is "comfort in old bodies / coming together," in a partner's warmth--"You're always warm: warm hands / smooth back sleek as a Burmese cat./ Sunny weather outside and in." Piercy has long been known for her political poems, and here we have her thoughts on illegal immigrants, dying languages, fraught landscapes, abortion, President-speak. She examines her nonbeliever's need for religious holidays and spiritual depth, and the natural world is appreciated throughout. On the Way Out, Turn Off the Light is yet more proof of Piercy's love and mastery of language--it is moving, stimulating, funny, and full of the stuff of life.

What if the people closest to us are not what they seem? What happens when someone takes control of your life and your relationships? And what is hiding in the darkness? In Bernard Minier's Don't Turn Out the Lights, you won’t see who’s coming after you. “You did nothing.” Christine Steinmeyer thought the anonymous suicide note she found in her mailbox on Christmas Eve wasn’t meant for her. But the man calling in to her radio show seems convinced otherwise. “You let her die. . . .” That’s only the beginning. Bit by bit, her life is turned upside down. But who among her friends and family hates her enough to want to destroy her? And why? It’s as if someone has taken over her life, and everything holding it together starts to crumble. Soon all that is left is an unimaginable nightmare. Martin Servaz is on leave in a clinic for depressed cops, haunted by his childhood sweetheart Marianne’s kidnapping by his nemesis, the psychopath Julian Hirtmann. One day, he receives a key card to a hotel room in the mail—the room where an artist committed suicide a year earlier. Someone wants him to get back to work, which he’s more than ready to do, despite his mandatory sick leave. Servaz soon uncovers evidence of a truly terrifying crime. Could someone really be cruelly, consciously hounding women to death?
Who Turned Off the Lights?

Pages : 130
Book Description
Who turned off the light? The land before the country called Nigeria came into existence, was a land filled with light and hope. Electricity referred to as "light" metaphorically represents the success of the people. Today, lights are sporadic at best, and hope is fading. Some believed darkness resulted from the colonization by the British, which brought about the ideals of capitalism. The survival of the fittest became the contest of the day and poverty surly followed. After Nigeria received its independence in 1960, the British left a system in place where the Northern region welded control over the Southern and Western regions. Many leaders felt the only way to change this system was through force. The first military coup was initiated by Igbo army officers in January 1966, this set off a series of counter coups including a bloody three (3) year civil war until the final coup d' etat in 1993. The untimely death of the Military head of State Sani Abacha paved the way for a civilian government. As military rule became a seemingly permanent feature of Nigerian politics. Many Nigerians lost hope and developed a mindset to get all; as much as you can today because tomorrow is just another day. Many civil servants took on the attitude of the increasingly authoritarian and corrupt governments. Greed, bribery, and corruption was the order of the day, over time corruption would reach almost every sector of life, and business dealings in the country. As a result of the "winner take all" framework, long regaining leaders referred to as strongmen dominated politics in Africa. Nigeria provides power/electricity to the Ghanaian people that reside in Ghana, West Africa. Currently the energy supply crisis in Nigeria refers to the ongoing failure to provide adequate electricity supply to domestic households and industrial producers, only 40% of the Nigerian population is connected to the energy grid. It is so common in people residing in local communities, and villagers often state "we have a generator so that makes our family better than yours". The Federal Government of Nigeria spent Billions of dollars on roads, yet the country has some of the worst roads in the world. The Federal Government has also spent billions on the construction of Power Plants to bring stable lights to the country. Greed and corruption for roads, power facilities, and other necessary infrastructure projects have been squandered by corrupt leaders.
