Download At Sunset, Facing East: A Memoir in Poetry Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Bill Jones's nearly 65 years on Earth have filled the man with wonder. He's heard the voices of family through five generations, the young magically echoing the old. He's witnessed the world of anthrax and America's cities set on fire, seen the impossible become all too possible. In the US, Mexico, Colombia, and Jamaica, he's traveled roads not often taken. He's been haunted by dreams which spoke the truth and gave him new direction. For him, life burns brightest in the scenes he can't forget. Such scenes are his clear focus in At Sunset, Facing East. "At Sunset, Facing East is an absorbing journey through one man's life-its humor, its wonder, its despair and its dreams. Turning the pages, you feel the light coming and going, the sudden appearance of shadows, the darkness making quiet entrance. This is a poet who believes that life itself is the great poem one is writing, and the book dazzles with its rigorous and passionate contemplation of what it means to be alive." -Kendra Kopelke, Poet, Editor of Passager and author of Eager Street and Hopper's Women

Download I Love a Broad Margin to My Life Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
In her singular voice—both humble and brave, touching and humorous—Maxine Hong Kingston gives us a poignant and beautiful memoir-in-verse that captures the wisdom that comes with age. As she reflects on her sixty-five years, she circles from present to past and back, from lunch with a writer friend to the funeral of a Vietnam veteran, from her long marriage to her arrest at a peace march in Washington. On her journeys as writer, peace activist, teacher, and mother, she revisits her most beloved characters—Wittman Ah-Sing, the Tripmaster Monkey, and Fa Mook Lan, the Woman Warrior—and presents us with a beautiful meditation on China then and now. The result is a marvelous account of an American life of great purpose and joy, and the tonic wisdom of a writer we have come to cherish.

Download At Sunset (Classic Reprint) Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Excerpt from At Sunset The putting together of her Occasional Poems was my mother's latest literary work, and was interrupted by her death, untimely, though in the fullness of years. In completing the publication which she had so much at heart, it has been thought best to include some personal poems which had never been revised by her, since, though her final judgment might have rejected them, one and all breathe her spirit and speak in her voice. To them are added a few poems of various periods which do not appear in any of her previous volumes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
