Fearn by Linda Dove is collection where Fear is transforming, and doesn't just become, but is a spectrum of objects, actions, and sensations. Fear is not something that's crushing a person, or destroying the world like a weapon. It is a part of nature, dynamics, and an essential creating element of the world. These are poems of moments when fear is something that's vulnerable and even evocative of a sympathy. Fearn is a force, but one that's just like anything else, and is only a part of all the other motions in this universe.
Poetry. Winner of the 2009 Dorothy Brunsman Poetry Contest. "The meditative, quiet beauty of Linda Dove's IN DEFENSE OF OBJECTS helps defend the reader against all sorts of daily blindnesses. Although there are lovely poems here about art, Dove leads us to see the ordinary material world, too, as shaped and heightened. 'Until memory is allocated, objects do not exist, ' says a computer science document quoted here, and many of Dove's poems will now be allocated to my memory. Not least of the objects worth defending, this poet shows, are words themselves, which she employs with subtlety, wit, and depth of feeling"--Mary Jo Salter.
Til Death explores the conflict that male and females experience in relationships, especially marriage. Part one examines the theological and moral aspects of male/female relationships. Part two is a love story where differing moral values clash and its consequences.

A personal history of life, love and women’s liberation In this powerful memoir Sheila Rowbotham looks back at her life as a participant in the women’s liberation movement, left politics and the creative radical culture of a decade in which freedom and equality seemed possible. She reveals the tremendous efforts that were made to transform attitudes and feelings, as well as daily life. After addressing the first British Women’s Liberation Conference at Ruskin College, Oxford in 1970, she went on to encourage night cleaners to unionise, to campaign for nurseries and abortion rights. She played an influential role in discussions of socialist feminist ideas and her books and journalism attracted an international readership. Written with generosity and humour Daring to Hope recreates grassroots networks, communal houses and squats, bringing alive a shared impetus to organise collectively and to love without jealousy or domination. It conveys the shifts occurring in politics and society through kernels of personal experience. The result is a book about liberation in the widest sense.
In this second chronicle about Deborah, she faces an enemy whose sole purpose is to kill every human being in the universe. The location of the enemy's home planets is unknown. This enemy has unlimited ships and no concern about the high losses to their personnel. The initial evaluation is that the enemy may not even be human. They are given the name, Grays. A creature like the Grays seems rather harmless compared to what fiction shows you. The Grays went unchallenged only because they looked so weak and fragile. No one saw them as a serious threat. I can only think of the army ants on the march. No one takes an ant seriously; however, an army of ants will devastate an area and kill every li...

Chaco Canyon, Canyon de Chelly, Mesa Verde, Hovenweep . . . For many, such historic places evoke images of stone ruins, cliff dwellings, pot shards, and petroglyphs. For others, they recall ancestry. Remnants of the American Southwest's ancestral Puebloan peoples (sometimes known as Anasazi) have mystified and tantalized explorers, settlers, archaeologists, artists, and other visitors for centuries. And for a select group of writers, these ancient inhabitants have been a profound source of inspiration. Collected here are more than fifty selections from a striking body of literature about the prehistoric Southwest: essays, stories, travelers' reports, and poems spanning more than four centuri...
