An abused child, yet confident of her destiny to reign, a woman in a man's world, passionately sexual--though, as she maintained, a virgin--Elizabeth I is famed as England's most successful ruler.

Living Blue in the Red States
ISBN: 9780803260085 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych.
Political pundits never tire of reminding us of the great cultural divide between conservative -red- states and liberal -blue- ones. But common sense tells us that not all people in these states can be politically like-minded. David Starkey, a former red-state resident, wondered what politically progressive creative writers were feeling in the wake of George W. Bush's reelection. How, Starkey asked contributors, does one live blue in a red state. This book supplies many answers. Writers as different as Jonis Agee and Stephen Corey, Robin Hemley and Lee Martin (a 2006 Pulitzer...

Starkey's Book of States

From North Dakota, where "emptiness / takes up a lot / of space," to Alabama, where a mother offers "nothing / Less than plenty," David Starkeys poems mark him as nothing less than a "fool / For life." His book gives us a fireworks display of creativity as varied and strange as the states it conjures. We scoot along here in a word-RV bound for just about everywhere, from North Carolina, which possesses, so Starkey claims, an atomic peanut (while Texas doesnt, but provides blowing sage) to D. C., memorable for kids in the backseat who wont shut up, to Connecticut centered on "publish or...
