While Part ofYour World has a few minor problems, the central relationship – featuring a whopper of an opposites attract pairing – is romantic and sexy, the primary and secondary characters are well realized (with one glaring exception), and the narrators are supremely well-suited to the material. Abby Jimenez is a new-to-me author and lately, I’ve been a bit leery about veering away from old favorites, but I’m happy to tell you I plan to binge her back catalog right away! I’m usually a bit slow to turn around book reviews – even with books I like (much to my editor’s despair), but I couldn’t wait to sit down and tell you all about this one.

READ The Last Slice of Rainbow - And Other Stories Joan Aiken ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Although often sensitive, this portrait of a woman adrift lacks focus and jars the reader with an awkwardly paced and structured narrative. ![]() When her depressive husband commits suicide, she finally confronts the toll her illness has taken on her relationships and her poetry. She develops agoraphobia and finds herself immersed in her past, analyzing two mercurial childhood friendships and recalling her high school sweetheart. Her subsequent life seems satisfying-she has a loving marriage, bears a daughter and publishes several collections of poetry-but Snowy believes her potential remains unfulfilled. At Bennington, Snowy concentrates on becoming a poet and expanding her realms of knowledge, specifically about dating and sex. Continuing the story she began in The Cheerleader, MacDougall traces the life of Henrietta Snow from 1957, when she leaves her New Hampshire hometown and middle-class parents to attend Bennington College, through a crisis in late middle-age. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Coriolanus and the remaining members of the family his grandmother, dubbed ‘The Grandma’am’, and crafty cousin Tigris, are facing starvation and bills for which they don’t have the money. ![]() At this time, the once mighty Snow family is swamped in poverty, while still desperately trying to remain on top. Snow’s story begins ten years after the higher class Capitol won the war against oppressed district rebels. In fact, the amount of empathy for him that is conjured, at least for the majority of the book, teaches that unfortunate circumstances can draw darker dominant traits in a rational personality in a bit over 500 pages. This new look on 18-year-old Coriolanus implores readers to see reasonable intentions and views going through his head. Readers of The Hunger Games will remember notorious ruler President Snow, bent on what feels like a personal vendetta against the lower class districts and their citizens. This flawlessly told ‘ballad’, as a prequel to bestselling series The Hunger Games by the same author, is heart wrenching to say the least, telling Coriolanus Snow’s history in a remarkable take on human nature, for new readers or fans of the original series. ![]() Suzanne Collins’s The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes is truly a tapestry of pain, ambition, competition and, ultimately, power. ![]() 6/28/2023 0 Comments Richard siken poems crush![]() “In Homer, the sea is always wine dark the dawn, rosy fingered. Scheherazade uses the same ideas to stick in your head. ![]() Oral traditions survived intact for centuries. Siken’s use of imagery - the same imagery used by memory champions and epic ballads throughout history - is what makes him a master of his craft. Luckily, I don’t think understanding the poem is important. I am not a poetry critic, and would be out of my depth if I tried to analyze the meter or school of poetry that Scheherazade hails from. It’s the first poem in Crush, a collection that won the prestigious 2004 Yale Younger Poets prize at the recommendation of poet laureate Louise Glück. Richard Siken’s poem Scheherazade is one of my favorites, and one of only a few I have memorized. The images produced are so compelling that they grab your brain even if you don’t understand them. Modern writing, and poetry like Scheherazade, uses imagery to imply meaning. In famous examples like Homer, you can observe imagery at work in preservation. ![]() ![]() Oral traditions relied on complete stories remaining intact over hundreds of years. Memorizers like Foer admit to having average memories – until they use image-based mnemonic devices to root ideas in their heads And the influential role of imagery on the human brain appears all over the place. Today’s memorizers use the same principles outlined in ad Herennium. in ancient Rome, the text Rhetorica ad Herennium advises orators to “set up images of a kind that can adhere longest in the memory,” by “establishing likenesses as striking as possible.” ![]() 6/28/2023 0 Comments The reading list adams![]() ![]() “The Reading List” is a beautiful story about the importance of reading.
