The Salda�a family is your stereotypical family from Mexico who immigrated to Bakersfield, California to pursue the American dream of white picket fences, color televisions, and the wealth of opportunities. They are a tightknit, honest family who, after years of hard work and perseverance, seemed to have carved out a spectacular life for themselves. Then one fateful day everything changed when their eldest son was accused of a heinous crime wherein he was sentenced to spend the rest of his life in the darkest recesses New Quantico State Prison. Anatomy of Felon is a tale of what happens to that son in prison and how he goes from being an exemplary high school student and class nerd to an inmate in one of the toughest penitentiaries in the world. Once incarcerated, this self-proclaimed "nobody" learns to navigate the pitfalls of homicides, suicides, prison gangs, and really bad food, all the while plagued by a dark force that threatens to overtake the facility. Luckily for him, no matter how bad things get or how many times he's betrayed, there's one person who never gives up on him. Anatomy of a Felon is a story of haters and hero's, dark forces and unconditional love, and family. This book contains prison tempered vocabulary.

Charles Bernstein has described conceptual "poetry pregnant with thought." Against Expression, the premier anthology of conceptual writing, presents work that is by turns thoughtful, funny, provocative, and disturbing. Editors Craig Dworkin and Kenneth Goldsmith chart the trajectory of the conceptual aesthetic from early precursors such as Samuel Beckett and Marcel Duchamp through major avant-garde groups of the past century, including Dada, Oulipo, Fluxus, and language poetry, to name just a few. The works of more than a hundred writers from Aasprong to Zykov demonstrate a remarkable variety of new ways of thinking about the nature of texts, information, and art, using found, appropriated, and randomly generated texts to explore the possibilities of non-expressive language. --Book Jacket.

You will also learn sharpening techniques to maintain the edge of your new knife. Throughout, Zerra has included Pro-Tips from some of the leading knifemakers working today including Ken Onion, Kaila Cumings, and Mike Jones.

It?s summer and nothing much is happening in Rathmoye. So it doesn?t go unnoticed when a dark-haired stranger appears on his bicycle and begins photographing the mourners at Mrs. Connulty?s funeral. Florian Kilderry couldn?t know that the Connultys are said to own half the town: he has only come to Rathmoye to photograph the scorched remains of its burnt- out cinema. A few miles out in the country, Dillahan, a farmer and a decent man, has married again: Ellie is the young convent girl who came to work for him when he was widowed. Ellie leads a quiet, routine life, often alone while Dillahan runs the farm. Florian is planning to leave Ireland and start over. Ellie is settled in her new role as Dillahan?s wife. But Florian?s visit to Rathmoye introduces him to Ellie, and a dangerously reckless attachment begins. In a characteristically masterly way Trevor evokes the passions and frustrations felt by Ellie and Florian, and by the people of a small Irish town during one long summer.
