A «tale of the tribe» (Ezra Pound's phrase for his own longer work), Park Songs is set during a single day in a down-and-out Midwestern city park where people from all walks of life gather. In this small green space amidst a great gray city, the park provides a refuge for its caretaker (and resident poet), street preachers, retirees, moms, hustlers, and teenagers. Interspersed with blues songs, the community speaks through poetic monologues and conversations, while the homeless provide the introductory chorus—and all of their voices become one great epic tale of comedy and tragedy. Full of unexpected humor, hard-won wisdom, righteous (but sometimes misplaced) anger, and sly tenderness, their stories show us how people learn to live with mistakes and make connections in an antisocial world. As the poem/play engages us in their pain and joy—and the goofy delight of being human—it makes a quietly soulful statement about acceptance and community in our lives. David Budbill has worked as a carpenter's apprentice, short order cook, day laborer, and occasional commentator on NPR's All Thing Considered. His poems can often be heard on Garrison Keillor's Writer's Almanac and his books include the best-selling Happy Life (Copper Canyon Press) and Judevine, a collection of narrative poems that forms the basis for the play Judevine, which has been performed in twenty-two states. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Budbill now lives in the mountains of northern Vermont. R. C. Irwin, whose absurdist and nostalgic work provides the set design for Park Songs, teaches at San Francisco City College.

Pretend the World confronts our false sense of safety in our self-created worlds. From her St. Paul kitchen to the historical shores of Lake Superior, from an airplane above Bagdad to a clothing factory in Guangdong, Kathryn Kysar pretends the glimmering and the sordid in these honest, searing poems that explore the inequities, cracks, and fissures in women's constructed lives.Kathryn Kysar is the author of Dark Lake (Loonfeather Press, 2002), a book of poetry, and is the editor of Riding Shotgun: Women Write About Their Mothers (Borealis Books, 2008).

THE ADULT STUDENT
An insider's look at the world of online education from a professor’s viewpoint, written for the benefit of the student. A manual to provide insight on everything from choosing the right school to what professors really think about your work (which you may or may not want to know!) The author also shares with the reader what other educators are thinking, using data from anonymous surveys and gathered from brave souls willing to share their viewpoints, and what deans and department chairs think about everything from accreditation to education quality. The author is often asked by many online students to cover what professors are really asked to assess in the classroom, and she delves into that topic, as well. Many students from online and traditional institutions also shared their insights for this book and are quoted throughout.
The Year of Living Doggedly
After 32 years Peter Marmorek stopped teaching high school. Gradually the hole that left in his life coalesced into a dog–like shape, and he decided Rui (a nine week old labradoodle) was exactly what he needed to fill it, despite his complete lack of knowledge about dogs. “The Year of Living Doggedly” blends both dark and light as Rui forces Peter to look deeply into himself and as simple guidelines on dog-training turn out to be quite inadequate to the complexities of this very real dog. The answers he ultimately reaches have far wider resonances than one might expect. Contains 100 colour photographs.
Плаха
"Школьная библиотека" продолжает знакомить своих слушателей с творчеством Чингиза Айтматова – живого классика русской и киргизской литературы. "Плаха" – роман-крик, одно из лучших произведений, в котором человеческая мудрость и художественное мастерство писателя достигают своей вершины. Главный герой выезжает по заданию редакции за материалом о сборщиках наркотического зелья. Им движет не только работа, но и мысль спасти павших и снова сделать из них людей. Противостояние героев перерастает во взаимное неприятие понятий добра и зла, счастья и свободы человека. Однако уход от этого зла каждый видит по-своему, и каждый из них идет на свою плаху.
Проклятый сын
На что можно смотреть вечно? На огонь, на воду и на то, как эти два элемента противостоят друг другу, а в один момент столкнулись друг с другом, искрой породив нечто ужасное, что в дальнейшем понесёт за собой глобальные перемены, ведь стоит ему проснуться в теле истинного проклятого и начнётся тьма.
