Loneliness, death, grief, and conflict. We all suffer from these, but will they kill us? This poet thinks so. More than 100 micro poems, only a few words each, speak for all of us that are slowly dying from isolation, distance, death, and fear. Recognized as "a meaningful new voice in American Poetry", Plett's poems have been described as "fragile portals" to connect, feel, and bond with. Longlisted for the 2018 Sexton Poetry Prize, Death Rattles is loaded with daily mantras, promises to oneself, comfort chants, and sometimes, jokes to help you lighten up.

Flowers and Bee Stings is a contemporary poetry collection that examines the themes of pain, self-discovery, and freedom, as well as the beauty of happiness and healing through trials and tribulations. Divided into 10 sections, this audiobook is a metaphor for dealing with life and pain, but over coming those obstacles. The poems were written to inspire and encourage one to move beyond their past hurts and pains. For with healing comes hope and with hope comes freedom. Find yourself again and begin again.

Oscar Wilde já era reconhecido como um dos melhores autores de seu tempo quando foi condenado à prisão, em 1895. A acusação de “indecência grave” remetia à muito discutida homossexualidade de Wilde, considerada crime na época. Enquanto estava encarcerado, o autor escreveu uma carta a Lord Alfred Douglas, com quem mantinha uma relação que foi o estopim para sua prisão.

Long before "Don't ask, don't tell", gays served in the military - sometimes openly - more often in secret. In this volume the author imagines what their lives might have been like. Within, you will find tales of historical fiction mixed occasionally with supernatural horror, including: a French fusilier fighting guerrillas and growing disillusionment in Napoleonic Spain; soldiers encountering the unthinkable during the 1812 occupation and retreat from Moscow; and more.

Most of the stories and poems in this audiobook were compiled from handwritten notes in journals I've been keeping for several years. The title story, "The Waterfall", is a powerful study of loss, acceptance, and growth. In "Butterflies", a young boy learns a lesson about acceptance and appreciation of what he has been given. "The Lighthouse" is a moving tale that's as close to poetry as prose and offers a beautifully upbeat ending. "Grandma Brown" is a nostalgic and emotionally moving tale of familial love.

Questa è l'ultima opera in prosa di Wilde, scritta quando l'autore era in carcere per omosessualità. Entrato nel carcere nel 1895, l'uomo di genio divenne agli occhi di tutti un obbrobrio. La sua ricchissima raccolta di mobili e oggetti preziosi vennero venduti all'asta. Molti suoi libri furono bruciati e le rappresentazioni dei suoi drammi proibite.

Caden: When I first met Grayle Meadows, I made a pass at him, and he said that I was too young. “Come back when you’re older, maybe with hair on your chin and chest.” He glanced down at the tent in my pants, and smiled. “That too. Then, perhaps we can talk, but if you insist, I could use a friend.” A friend? I have lots of friends, I thought. But, with a man like Grayle, I’d take him anyway I could. The next time I met him, he didn’t see me. I had changed. I was no longer that twenty-year-old man who had been only a friend to him. My voice had deepened, and I had grown a beard...

Grayle: “I knew Caden the minute he walked into the room with such confidence. I would know that beautiful man anywhere, because his eyes caught my attention first. He’d changed. Older. Still in his twenties, but there was something unusual about his laugh, the way his lips parted when he chased a kiss, and the way he held his head erect. I guessed being away from home, traveling had changed him into the man he is now, and what an outstanding man he’d become. I wondered if he’d remember me?” Will Grayle let Caden slip away this time never to know if they would have been good for ...

With gender pronouns and rainbow flags, are the days of suffering and ostracization behind the trans and intersex community? Why is LGBTQ a single category then, where sexual preference is forcefully coalesced with gender? Is gender determined by birth or is it a choice? What about sexuality? In a world where some fear we’re moving too fast and others know it's not fast enough, these questions are knocking on car windows, louder and louder. Queer Chronicles explores the evolving landscape of gender identity and sexual orientation, delving deep into the complexities of the LGBTQ+ ...

History is replete with famous, amazing and world-changing people…who just happened to prefer the company of their own sex over that of the opposite sex, such as Leonardo da Vinci, Plato, Aristotle, Shakespeare, Tchaikovsky, Alexander the Great, Eleanor Roosevelt, Queen Christiana, Socrates, Florence Nightingale, and millions more. In our present day, it is widely accepted to be out and open as a Two-Spirit person, but that has not been the case throughout history. Instead of the LGBTQ term, I prefer to use the Two-Spirit definition for who some are, which denotes a balance of the ...

Se lo puso allí, como obsequio, a través de una mirada, a través de coincidencias casi imposibles, a través de una afinidad incuestionable, pero ella ...

Alma de bolero Un amor salpicado de mar, ausencia y nostalgia. Dicen que las calles de La Habana encierran nostalgia, vestigios de recuerdo y una curiosa melancolía. No importa cuánta música, ron y risas se cuelen por sus pórticos y balcones, perderse entre sus calles es transitar una memoria velada momentáneamente por la indiferencia. Allí, en la ciudad detenida, habita el amor, refugiándose en el rincón más profundo del corazón de Yara Leyva; un corazón que es retazo de naufragio bailando al vaivén de las olas. Por momentos conoció la belleza y la alegría. Aprendió a ...
