Hart Crane, prodigiously gifted and tragically doom-eager, was the American peer of Shelley, Rimbaud, and Lorca.

It was a time in which Calvinist teachings on predestination were predominant. ![]() Francis lived in France between the late 16 th and early 17 th centuries. ![]() If these words sound surprising now (you may be wondering how gentleness relates to strength) they would have been even more surprising at the time they were written. “There is nothing as strong as gentleness nothing as gentle as real strength.” How easy it is to be merciless with ourselves, especially in light of our mistakes, sins, and shortcomings.Įnter St. Perhaps one of the fiercest battles we wage takes place within our own hearts. Just turn on the news or hop on social media and it’s immediately apparent: we live in a rather harsh world. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It momentarily stopped me, but as I continued reading I realized Greg Sandora’s writing is up there with the best of the best. Initially I was thrown by a grammatical error in which Jack reads his notes to his provocative, fetching assistant, Sandy, and uses the phrase could care less instead of couldn't care less (“this country is being run by elitist who could care less about ordinary Americans”), but in the following line, he correctly uses “couldn't” in a sentence. Jack Canon is truly All In, so if you want to take a thrilling, suspenseful ride along with a variety of characters, jump in. Entertaining, educational, and enticing! The world of politics is indeed an ugly playground, and you have to play rough and get dirty to make it into the big leagues.Īll characters are well drawn, especially Canon whose flawed yet powerful personality is persuasive enough to entice voters and keep readers turning pages. I’m familiar with a local politician who worked his way up to Senate position, and what Sandora writes seems more factual than fiction. A long and painful recession has left ordinary Americans suffering, spawning the hottest Presidential Contest in history. ![]() just days before the Democratic National Convention. Author Greg Sandora has a great writing style and his storyline pulls you in on page one whether you are politically inclined or not. Jack Canon's American Destiny Greg Sandora 3.74 66 ratings20 reviews It's the steamy summer of 2016 in Washington, D.C. ![]() I rarely read political novels, but kept hearing buzz about Jack Canon's American Destiny. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In the chapters that follow, the author moves the reader back and forth between examples of the world’s fascination, and at times obsession, with dead Jews and the antisemitic events of Pittsburgh ( 2018), San Diego ( 2019), and Jersey City ( 2019). ![]() As Horn concludes in her introduction, the goal of People Love Dead Jews is “to unravel, document, describe, and articulate the endless unspoken ways in which the popular obsession with dead Jews, even in its most apparently benign and civic-minded forms, is a profound affront to human dignity.” Weaving together history, social science, and personal story, she asks readers to think critically about why we venerate stories and spaces that make the destruction of world Jewry a compelling narrative while also minimizing the current crisis of antisemitism. Why society is fascinated with the death of Jews but cares little for living Jews is the subject of Dara Horn’s newest book. ![]() ![]() Then it happened at an evening banquet that Rothgar called for the fitting out of a ship and a crew, for a voyage to return Wulfgar to his kingdom. Also, I believe he spoke some words in private to the Queen Weilew, who had much influence over her husband. ![]() Herger said that Wulfgar should be summoned home, and that a parry for this purpose be arranged, for there was no other heir save Wulfgar. ![]() Now Herger said to him that of the five sons of the King, only one survived, and he was Wulfgar, who had gone to Buliwyf as messenger, and now remained far off. Herger sought the audience of King Rothgar in private, and said to the King that he was a great and wise ruler whose people loved and respected him, by virtue of the way he looked after the affairs of the kingdom and the welfare of his people. In reply, Herger said: "You are wrong, for he is a fool, and does not act with sense." And Herger said he would arrange for my departure with the King. ![]() ![]() ![]() This only draws attention to the ludicrous development of contemporary technologies and social concepts. The plot is adequate, but the worldbuilding that underpins Bishop’s story remains both illogical and premised on the blithe erasure of Native Americans the continent is instead populated by brutal paranormals who reluctantly allow human incursion but maintain ruthless control. Humans on the outside have gotten hold of a pair of drugs-“feel-good” and “gone over wolf”-that are wreaking havoc on both populations. Meg Corbyn, a prophet who has visions when she bleeds, sees danger approaching the compound where she’s protected by the supernatural creatures of this alternate present-day America. ![]() Bishop’s solid but unspectacular sequel to Written in Red has all the strengths and weaknesses of its predecessor. ![]() |
