Lynette Greenfield stakes out, as firmly as ever, the position of poetry in a world where language registers have been largely mellowed by forces of oppression. These new poems, pitched at a register slightly lower than that of praise, offer a quiet surprise out of wise and hard-earned scepticism.

Have you ever been misunderstood? People judge you before they even know. Judging you based off your outer appearance, and never wanting to take a chance to get to know you, the inner you. Has different traumas from your past, defined you or shaped you and caused you to look at situations differently; or caused you to carry yourself a certain way? Have you ever felt like an oddball or an outcast? Or like you just don't fit in? Well if that's how you've ever felt, this book is for you. In life you may have been or may even still be misunderstood, that is not your fault, or anything you've done. Not everyone may be able to know you or even understand your story. Don't allow what you've done or what has been done to you, to define you or your future. You are not your past and you do not have to be what people call you, but who God has designed you to be. Don't allow people to label you or you to even label yourself. This book will help you to be able to recognize how we can label ourselves and allow our past and our own choices, to define us, and how once you forgive yourself and heal from your past, that's when new life and wholeness can begin. Remember "Death and life are in the power of the tongue" - Proverbs 18:21 NKJV. Your words are powerful. Speak life into your situation. Speak peace in your life. Speak positive over your circumstance and your situation, and don't allow anyone to have the power to speak over you and define you. You have more to gain, that's what you're holding on too. Let the past go and move forward towards your future.

Throughout time, women have been identified in many conflicting ways. Sometimes goddesses, slaves, or seductresses, but always misunderstood—by themselves and others. Jen Hatmaker uses examples from the five women named in Jesus’ lineage to help identify who a daughter of Christ is. From the woman who acted like a prostitute to the woman who was one, the widow to the adulteress to the mother, each has something to pass on.

To fight a menacing evil, a group of children team up with amazing mechanical machines built by a genius clockmaker in this illustrated children’s fantasy. Best friends Karlheinz Indergarten and Leopold Croak clash in an epic, imaginary battle waged in the branches of an enormous, ancient oak tree. But when lightning strikes young Leopold, he loses his imagination, and with it, his sense of right and wrong. The damaged boy grows to adulthood, treading a sinister path of industrial conquest. And Leopold’s thirst for power soon threatens the tree, the village, and worst of all, the children within. But humble Karl discovers a gift for clockwork—the magic of gears and cogs—and assembles a mechanical army to fight back. Joined by the children themselves, Karl endeavors to save the village, the ancient oak, and maybe—just maybe—something more besides. Perfect for reading aloud!

Using extensive interviews, hundreds of transcripts, focus-group discussions with viewers, and his own experiences as an audience member, Joshua Gamson argues that talk shows give much-needed, high-impact public visibility to sexual nonconformists while also exacerbating all sorts of political tensions among those becoming visible. With wit and passion, Freaks Talk Back illuminates the joys, dilemmas, and practicalities of media visibility. "This entertaining, accessible, sobering discussion should make every viewer sit up and ponder the effects and possibilities of America's daily talk-fest with newly sharpened eyes."—Publishers Weekly "Bold, witty. . . . There's a lot of empirical work behind this deceptively easy read, then, and it allows for the most sophisticated and complex analysis of talk shows yet."—Elayne Rapping, Women's Review of Books "Funny, well-researched, fully theorized. . . . Engaged and humane scholarship. . . . A pretty inspiring example of what talking back to the mass media can be."—Jesse Berrett, Village Voice "An extraordinarily well-researched volume, one of the most comprehensive studies of popular media to appear in this decade."—James Ledbetter, Newsday

In this New York Times-bestselling inspirational memoir, Camryn Manheim, Emmy Award-winning costar of The Practice, chronicles her journey from a self-hating, "overweight" teenager, who desperately wanted to fit in, to a self-loving, fat activist who is proud to be a misfit. Wake Up, I'm Fat! shares her intelligent, candid, poignant, and often hilarious stories of being fat in a society obsessed with being thin. Camryn takes us from her days as a motorcycle-riding hippie in Santa Cruz to her enrollment at New York University's prestigious school of drama--where Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tony Kushner broke the unspoken theater rules of size by casting her in the role of the ingenue--and finally to Hollywood, where she dispelled the fallacy that large women can't be portrayed as sensual, sophisticated, and confident. Camryn's endearing honesty, sass, and razor-sharp wit will appeal to any reader who has ever felt like an outcast or yearned to make peace with their body.
