Keepin’ the Beat
Keepin' the Beat is somewhat of a sequel to the author's first book entitled The Up of the Down Beat. Although this book mainly focuses on the author's hometown, Savannah, Georgia, it also takes you on a journey to other places that share events, experiences, and encounters. Realizing that a lot of information was not included in The Up of the Down Beat and many interesting and meaningful things have happened since it was published, the author was compelled to share more of his life's musical journey. Keepin' the Beat references some of the places and people in his first book and introduces the reader to subsequent and current happenings in his and the lives of musicians. Musicians are creative and sometimes eccentric, but what is important to them is keeping jazz alive and uplifting the human spirit of people who appreciate it. Approaching the twilight of his life's musical journey, this author considers this book to be somewhat of a legacy and culmination of his musical journey. By "keepin' the beat," he and other musicians are marching and playing to the beat by perpetuating and creating a music art form that has permeated the world--the art form commonly referred to as jazz.

The Poetry of Eavan Boland
"Pilar Villar-Argáiz's sustained, meticulous, and exacting study of Eavan Boland opens up and articulates in a fresh way the key dimensions of her poetry. It succeeds not only in tracking the far-reaching ramifications of Eavan Boland's politicized aesthetic as a postcolonial writer but in urging us to revisit the crystalline and precisely etched poems of one of the most significant artists in contemporary Irish culture." Professor Anne Fogarty, University College, Dublin (from the Introduction) This monograph is an original and important contribution to the growing body of critical studies devoted to one of Ireland's major living poets: Eavan Boland (see Haberstroh 1996; Hagen & Zelman 200...

Dear Men
'I really loved her but I broke up with her because my mother didn't think she would adjust in our family.' – Raul, engineer, 29 ~ 'I liked being angry. I wanted to hate the world, be angry, so I didn't have to be sad.' – Dhairya, photographer, 34 ~ 'I want a harem.

Dear Men hopes to start an honest and open dialogue with Indian men about subjects that are becoming more and more relevant as movements like #MeToo gain traction.
