    Este libro es caos, es dolor. Este libro está escrito desde la falta de aire que te deja un puñetazo en el estómago. Desde la lágrima que escuece al secarla con el puño de la chaqueta después de llorar horas. Este libro cuenta la historia de cómo querer sin medida y que te destruyan. A fin de cuentas, amar es algo así como entregar tu lado más vulnerable confiando en que esa persona no te destruirá y, a veces, te destruye. Hoy soy la consecuencia de ese desastre.Ojalá encuentres la caricia en estas letras, ojalá sean tirita.O...ojalá te hagan sangrar, vaciarte y saber comenzar a reconstruirte.

    I have been a middle and high school Language Arts/Reading teacher for 29 years. I've learned that the heart of adolescence is most celebrated in the pulse of teaching and that my students are the teachers. I titled this book The Teacher On a Given Day because on a given day, I am given the opportunity to learn from my students, to celebrate "the human story," to play in the realms of lessons and love, and to better myself for the world. Analogous to the anticipation of reading a book that's "a real page-turner of a love story," I love wondering what I'll experience at school on a given day. This book of poems reflects the memories and inspirations of my students - "my teachers" - then and now. Each poem is titled "The Teacher" to commemorate all of my students. Whether it's hearing from former students in real time or in the inspirational messages of memories, I am fortunate to witness their evolution and impact in this world. This propels my own evolution and impact in this world. The trickle effect is incessant, and this book epitomizes the gratitude I have for that.

  • - A Study in Bubble Dynamics
    av Joe Paul Vanhaverbeke
    305,-

    Imagination is a tool of wonder if applied properly, particularly when accompanied by visual aids. The weaving of rhyme adds rhythm, a song without the singing when performed in tandem with the pictures opening a world filled with orbs of beauty the likes of nothing ever seen. New worlds are becoming hard to come by, so when the opportunity to explore one arises, you take it. Mine was done with a camera, going places no one has gone before, inside the ice to capture scenes that are hard to fathom. A guide was deemed necessary, and Bubbelo Bill was born, a being of the ice worlds with an ice saucer as our ride. My story is told in rhyme, snippets of what lies within the photo before us, mostly dealing with the beauty but finding the occasional humorous observation and even a dark side in some. The adage, a picture is worth a thousand words, comes into play, a four-line stanza barely grazing the surface of the beauty buried within each photographic representation of an ice Shangri-La. The pictures are surreal, like nothing ever seen, colors and shapes calling to the eye for an explanation, and the tale plays second fiddle to the icescapes that fill the eyes with wonder causing us to question what we are seeing especially when we find some have eyes and are staring back at us. The scenes we question are painted with air bubbles in the ice that are scattered and stacked, sprays and sprigs of them filled with colors I applied, part of an experiment that went wonderfully right. It's a playful romp meant to bring attention to the art of stacking bubbles, something as hard as it sounds, a thing of beauty I have been unable to repeat; the only things left are my photos and puddles of melted ice. It was December 10, 2013, and a snowstorm had come thru a couple of nights before leaving the usual winter wonderland we were dealt two or three times a year, something I love because we rarely saw snow my whole life living in south Louisiana. We were performing an experiment that my favorite daughter in the whole world had told Holly, my favorite wife in the whole world, about. We set it outside after the first day of snow and let it spend the next several nights there. I would check our little exercise in liquid solidification on occasion, but it took several days for them to come to fruition, albeit frozen fruition. Every day I would take my camera out and get pictures of the snow and ice covering everything, looking for that special one that made the trip through the slippery slopes worthwhile. We had deemed the experiment a failure, and I took the icy flotsam pieces and put them on top of our car, a thick layer of snow guaranteeing they wouldn't scratch it. I was passing by with the camera later when I happened to look into one with the light coming from behind it. I saw something, but it was hard to make out. I took up my camera and began recording still shots. The clouds opened and the heavens were suddenly bathed in light, a joyous refrain began ringing, as angels began singing, a chorus of hallelujahs, for the ice bubbles had been discovered. Not really, but they should have, for I found an alien landscape in every one of our surviving experiments in H2O molecular bonding. I didn't realize what I had until I brought the camera inside and hooked it to our TV. Kumbaya, kumbaya, Om Mani Padme Hum, go tell it to the mountain, and an icescape of elaborate designs and wondrous colors opened before me. Join me for a metaphysical, urban fantasy book for pre-teens and young adults with captivating fantasy photographs and a journey through ice worlds in a graphic, magical realism. These photos are the chosen ones from the thousands I took, their je ne sais quoi magnifico. They tell a story with an allegory, hopefully, hidden in the enjoyment of the tale so it sneaks up on you. Enjoy, Joe Paul
