![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Using a combination of panels and full bleed illustrations that move from color to black-and-white and back to color, John Rocco shows that if we are willing to put our cares aside for a while, there is party potential in a summer blackout. The boy switches off the lights, and out comes the board game again. When the electricity is restored, everything can go back to normal. They even have time to play a board game together. The boy and his family enjoy being not so busy for once. What's a family to do? When they go up to the roof to escape the heat, they find the lights-in stars that can be seen for a change-and so many neighbors it's like a block party in the sky! On the street below, people are having just as much fun-talking, rollerblading, and eating ice cream before it melts. The TV shuts off and a boy wails, "Mommm!" His sister can no longer use the phone, Mom can't work on her computer, and Dad can't finish cooking dinner. One hot summer night in the city, all the power goes out. ![]()

Unstinting in her commitment to peace, nonviolence, racial justice, and the cuase of the poor and the outcast, she became an inspiration to such activists as Thomas Merton, Michael Harrinton, Daniel Berrigan, Ceasr Chavez, and countless others.

When Dorothy Day died in 1980, the New York Times eulogized her as “a nonviolent social radical of luminous personality. The compelling autobiography of a remarkable Catholic woman, sainted by many, who championed the rights of the poor in America’s inner cities. ![]() ![]() Poetry has long been a way for me to attempt to express the inexpressible. Beautiful because my mother’s spirit showed through her trauma, and the disease became a stage upon which the love in our family could be illuminated and acted out. Heartbreaking because she was aware that “something wasn’t right.” It was painful to see her struggling to present a healthy face to the world when her memory was disintegrating. Mom’s descent into Alzheimer’s was heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. Her words no longer matched her behavior. Her emotions seemed out of proportion to what was happening in her life. At first her memory became slippery and she began repeating stories. My mother’s mind began to unspool at the same time I was trying to become a mother and struggling through a series of miscarriages. I had imagined my mother would always be there for me, at least until she was well into her eighties. My grandmother and great aunts lived into their nineties. ![]() There was a span of ten years among us, and I had vivid memories of my mother hiking, playing tennis, swimming and sailing at the upstate New York lake we visited each summer. Mom always said her children kept her young. I always knew she was an “older mom.” She had been a fount of wisdom for me during my adolescence and early years of marriage. ![]() She was 41 when I was born, so I suppose it shouldn’t have been a shock to see her aging in this way. When I was in my early thirties, my mother began showing signs of Alzheimer’s. ![]() Expressing the Inexpressible through Poetry ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The little bunny falls asleep.įavorite Part of the Story: This is the quintessential bedtime book. ![]() Soon the green room is completely dark except for the light shining in the red doll’s house and the red flames of the fire. As we say goodnight to each little object in the room, the bunny gets sleepier and sleepier, the rooms gets darker and darker, the stars get brighter in the night sky and the moon appears like a white lump of cheese. The bright lights in the green room gradually grow dim, casting light and shadow across the objects in the room, lulling the little bunny into sleep. The large bedroom window is partially draped to reveal a midnight blue night sky with many stars. There are many objects in the green room that are described in great detail- a telephone, a balloon, some kittens and a pair of mittens and also an elderly lady bunny sitting by the fire knitting, willing the little bunny to go to sleep. Short Synopsis of the Story: It is seven o’clock at night and a little bunny in striped blue pajamas is lying in bed in his green bedroom. Main Characters: a little bunny, an elderly lady bunny. ![]() ![]() Attacking new sources with relish and making use of a range of contemporary archaeological evidence, he looks at both the wider explanations for the disintegration of the Roman world and also the consequences for the lives of everyday Romans, in a world of economic collapse, marauding barbarians, and the rise of a new religious orthodoxy. Or did it? The dominant view of this period today is that the 'fall of Rome' was a largely peaceful transition to Germanic rule, and the start of a positive cultural transformation.īryan Ward-Perkins encourages every reader to think again by reclaiming the drama and violence of the last days of the Roman world, and reminding us of the very real horrors of barbarian occupation. Vicious barbarian invasions during the fifth century resulted in the cataclysmic end of the world's most powerful civilization, and a 'dark age' for its conquered peoples.

He never expected or particularly wanted to be a duke, but a series of tragic accidents and illnesses sees him attending a seemingly never ending succession of funerals, the last of them for his beloved nine-year-old nephew and ward, Robin.Īnyone familiar with Lord of Scoundrels will recall how skilfully Loretta Chase recounted Dain’s backstory in the book’s prologue, introducing us to an unloved child who believed himself unlovable. We met Vere Mallory, Duke of Ainswood, in that story when, drunk as a lord (!), he mistook the newly-married Lady Dain for a light skirt and was immediately pummeled into the dirt by Lord Beelzebub himself, and forced to apologise.Īinswood is the appropriately titled “Last Hellion” of the title, and comes from a long line of ne’er-do-wells. The Last Hellion is the last of the four books in Ms Chase’s Scoundrels series, which are linked via a number of recurring characters and it can perhaps be seen as a sequel to the wonderful Lord of Scoundrels. ![]() ![]() When he was told that for a bribe of $5000 his sentence could be overturned, it was the many backpackers who'd passed through who sent him the money. ![]() Prisoners have to pay an entrance fee and buy their own cells (the alternative is to sleep outside and die of exposure), prisoners' wives and children often live inside too, high quality cocaine is manufactured and sold from the prison.Thomas ended up making a living by giving backpackers tours of the prison - he became a fixture on the backpacking circuit and was named in the Lonely Planet guide to Bolivia.
