"Both a memorial and a call to awareness, these poems were written in response to the death of a friend. Buddy Gray, a grassroots activist and co-founder of the National Coalition for the Homeless, was shot by a former client a decade ago in Cincinnati. Many questions remain about the killing of this man that sparked a funeral march of over two thousand mourners through the streets of the city. Some of the poems deal directly with Gray a ..."

He's an odd one, that boy. Left mostly to his own devices, he's both troubled and in trouble. Because a culture in decline holds few options for an unskilled and unpolished kid such as Tommy Perdu ..."

"This sinewy novel chronicles life on a wrecking crew in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood of Cincinnati--the battles men fight with society, each other, and their own minds."
"Traditional aural training is heavily biased towards the perception and identification of pitch and rhythm. But George Pratt argues in this book that in these days of CDs and cassette recorders much of this area of the subject can best be worked on alone. He demonstrates how, by tailoring tasks to individual needs, every student can make some encouraging progess in these aspects of music. But this also makes time available for develop ..."

"Poetry. Fiction. Literary Nonfiction. In 1974, a group of writers and activists gathered at Highlander Center in New Market, Tennessee, to form what became the Southern Appalachian Writers Cooperative. From its very beginning, SAWC was intended to support writers in our efforts to take control of our regional identity and to take action, individually and collectively, on the issues that impact our land and our people. For over four deca ..."
"Fiction. Poetry. Essays. "In our call announcing the theme for this issue, we said, 'We are blessed or cursed to live in these interesting times. For Volume 21 we offer the theme of Appalachia Acting Up. Take it as and where you will: political protest, community conflict, childhood tantrums, family quarrels, life in the theater, life as drama queen, technology on the fritz, your own or your characters' misspent youth...Surprise us!' We ..."

"In this revised edition of his classic 1983 short story collection, Michael Henson is at the height of his poetic and storytelling powers. All the neo-Gothic Faulknerian themes are updated here (think Jayne Anne Phillips or Lee Smith): the betrayals of family, alcoholism, drug addiction, sexual passion, and devastating poverty. From the caged violence of urban streets to the struggle for subsistence in the rural outback, Henson brings h ..."

The author has condensed each monograph so as to maintain the book's reputation for accuracy, yet provided a smaller book that facilitates user-access in the clinical setting. Rounded corners and high-quality thinner paper add to the portability of this version. Extensively revised, this edition of the handbook includes 50 new drug monographs and many new do ..."
"Traditional aural training is heavily biased towards the perception and identification of pitch and rhythm. The authors of this book believe that this training too often dominates limited teaching time. Much of it can be best done alone and by tailoring tasks to individual needs, every student can make some encouraging progress. This makes time available for developing the perception of musical elements just as important yet often negle ..."
