Winner of the National Book Award in Poetry (2004)

Since the 1965 publication of her first book, Dream Barker, selected for the Yale Younger Poets Award, Jean Valentine has published eight collections of poetry to critical acclaim. Spare and intensely-felt, Valentine's poems present experience as only imperfectly graspable. This volume gathers together all of Valentine's published poems and includes a new collection, "Door in the Mountain."

Valentine's poetry is as recognizable as the slant truth of a dream. She is a brave, unshirking poet who speaks with fire on the great subjects--love, and death, and the soul. Her images--strange, canny visions of the unknown self--clang with the authenticity of real experience. This is an urgent art that wants to heal what it touches, a poetry that wants to tell, intimately, the whole life.

Obvious deduction with roots in both new and old archeology.
Format: Paperback
The Iron Age seemed to have its beginning several hundred years earlier than has been officially declared. That was my assumption after researching for a historical fiction novel during 1750 B.C.E. period. I began the current research in January of 2013. I'm not a archeologist, have no desire to be one. I'm not related to any archeologists. But I respect the the discipline, scholarship and dedication required to be a good one. After a year of research discovery my girlfriend was well versed with my newly formed assumption about the chronology of these times verses the old school beliefs. Referencing some material in this vain of research I stumbled across Rohl's work. To my utter delight I find out there has been a N.C. movement growing for twenty years. Good work and plausible scenarios are laid out for pure intellectual amazement and entertainment for the imagination inside these pages. Buy it now. Enjoy Zak

Really Helpful and Easier to Use Than I Expected
Format: Paperback
I bought the APA 7th Edition manual for my college research papers, and it’s been a lifesaver. Compared to the older edition, this one feels much clearer and way easier to navigate. The full-color layout and the examples throughout really help when I’m stuck on how to format citations or references. I especially appreciate the new sections tailored for students like me—it’s not just for professional writers anymore. Plus, the tips on inclusive language made me think more carefully about how I write. It’s definitely a dense read if you try to go cover-to-cover, but as a reference book, it’s super practical. The only downside is that it’s a bit pricey, but for the quality and how often I use it, it’s totally worth it. If you’re in school or need to write APA-style papers regularly, I’d recommend grabbing this manual. It makes the whole process less stressful.
