Описание: A lauded American poet's tributes to Walt Whitman and Henry James, now collected for the first time. Richard Howard has long been recognized as one of America's finest poets, celebrated as an author for his keen engagement with other authors, and especially for his sparkling and trenchant dramatic monologues and two-part inventions. Through the years, Howard has, in this way, given voice to all sorts of historical and literary figures, but two of his favorite subjects are two of his favorite writers--Walt Whitman and Henry James--and this book gathers an array of poems in which he responds to these great gay forebears, as well as to two other beloved Americans, Hart Crane and Wallace Stevens. Here Whitman the good gray poet opens his door to Bram Stoker and to Oscar Wilde; Henry James struggles to take stock of Los Angeles, where he is to have lunch with L. Frank Baum; Edith Wharton reminisces about her fraught friendship with the Master; poor Pansy from The Portrait of a Lady broods on her dreadful father; and late in life Wallace Stevens visits Paris--as Stevens never did. Howard's wonderful inventions are as expansive and celebratory and human as Whitman, as deeply and subtly inquiring as James, as sumptuously meditative as Stevens, and as arresting and delightful as Richard Howard himself.

THE IMPERFECT STORM: From Henry Street To Hollywood is the improbable - and vastly entertaining - story of Howard Storm (nee Howard Sobel), who grew up on the mean streets of New York's Lower East Side during the Great Depression and went on to become a successful standup comic, actor, improv teacher, and television director.
In the world of entertainment, Howard's hilarious storytelling prowess is legendary. After years of friends demanding he set these stories down in book form, he finally did it, with the help of author Steve Stoliar (RAISED EYEBROWS: My Years Inside Groucho's House). THE IMPERFECT STORM is filled with funny, shocking, sometimes bittersweet stories about playing rough-and-tumble mob-owned clubs in the '50s, graduating to big-time clubs in the '60s, directing such classic TV shows as RHODA, LAVERNE & SHIRLEY, MORK & MINDY, TAXI and EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND, and much, much more. Along the way, there are previously unpublished photos and never-before-told stories about such immortals as Judy Garland, Cary Grant, Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, Woody Allen, Lenny Bruce, Valerie Harper, Joan Rivers, Don Rickles, Jonathan Winters, and Robin Williams, just to shave the tip off the iceberg. A remarkable tale, from start to finish.
"A terrific book. Great show-business stories, celebrities, gangsters, prizefighters - all fresh tales, hilariously told by a guy who really knows how to tell them." -- Woody Allen
"What a humorously entertaining and immersing autobiography It makes one feel they're on an extended car-trip with a favorite uncle through the glory days of show-biz; from vaudeville to the Catskills to Broadway to Hollywood sit-coms. (And had I known Howard was so 'connected, ' I would have gotten to work on time ) This amazing trip through time is certainly worth the ride." -- Pam Dawber
"One of the most life-affirming reads ever. Howard Storm is an American Master." -- Richard Lewis
"I've known Howard Storm for almost 40 years. I know him a lot better now. From the lower east side to the borscht belt, from the comedy clubs of the Village to the sound stages of Hollywood, this hilarious and touching book is like having an intimate conversation with a funny charming man who has seen almost everything and everyone from in front of and behind the camera. -- Billy Crystal
"The only problem with the book is that it ends." -- Dick Cavett
"'The Imperfect Storm' is a perfect read." -- Bob Newhart
"I may be in the minority, but I liked it." -- Mel Brooks

Описание: The university is often regarded as a bastion of liberal democracy where equity and diversity are vigorously promoted. In reality, the university still excludes many people and is a site of racialization that is subtle, complex, and sophisticated. This book, the first comprehensive, data-based study of racialized and Indigenous faculty members’ experiences in Canadian universities, challenges the myth of equity in higher education. Drawing on a rich body of survey data, interviews, and analysis of universities’ stated policies, leading scholars scrutinize what universities have done and question the effectiveness of their employment equity programs. They also make important recommendations as to how universities can address racialization and fulfill the promise of equity in the academy.

Henry changed the religious fabric of England forever and left his mark on the wider world - but what of the six women he took as his queens?

Описание: Not many people write a full account of their life. It is especially rare that a man at age 92, was able to write such a thorough account. When his wife passed away, Henry was so lonely that he began to write about his life, starting with his earliest memories, growing up in the Alleghany Mountains in Covington, Virginia during the Great Depression. His memories were so vivid and detailed that it brings his story to life. He remembered so many of those little things in life that it really makes one want to continue to read on. You will learn about what life was like in the different time periods in which he lived. He was an average American trying hard to make a life for himself and his family. He faced many challenges in his life, from surviving combat in the frigid winter of 1945 during the Battle of the Bulge with the 75th Division, to trying his hands at many different jobs, and facing many health issues. Henry said that he wrote this for his family to find when he was gone, but it has become much more than that. It has become a treasured piece of our American history. Henry was the last member of his generation of the Smith family. He wanted his children and future generations of his family to know where they came from. While at an Army training camp in Kentucky before shipping out to Europe in 1944, Henry ventured into town on leave and met a girl in a bowling alley. They had 3 dates and he carried her picture in his shirt pocket throughout the War. As soon as he got home, he married that girl. Anna Laura Conley was never far from his mind or his heart. As he wrote his story after she had passed away, he often paused to reflect on how much he missed her and how he longed to see her again. If you had a father or grandfather who grew up during the Great Depression and served in World War II, you should read this book. I think many questions that you might have will be answered and you might also gain an appreciation for what the "Greatest Generation" did to build our modern America. Henry Smith certainly offers us all a rare glimpse into our past that is slowly fading into the depths of time. -James Slagle McClintock (Editor)
