DOWNLOAD EBOOKThese are poems of family, of romantic hope and disappointment, of parenthood, and of grief that move from a childhood in Nebraska in which a father strides into a ripe wheat field; to the parks and parking lots of New York City, the interchangeable landscapes of suburban America, and the more sensual environment of secluded water; to little traveled parts of Africa and the Pacific where our customs and passions are refracted into shapes that are sometimes beautiful, sometimes grotesque. Terese Svoboda writes of a world in which the reassuring simplicity remembered from childhood is difficult to recover. Outside of this vision of the past, all present life seems an aberration--an existence where violence can supplant love, families break apart, a child dies. All Aberration received a starred review in Publishers Weekly, a lead in Contemporary Poetry 1986 and a Notable Book nomination by the American Library Association. It was written during stays at Yaddo, MacDowell and Ossabaw, and received the benefit of a Creative Artists Public Service grant in 1982. Its poems first appeared in such magazines as Harper's, The Nation, Paris Review, and Ploughshares.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhat happened during the missing years between the time of Adam and Eve and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden and the time of the great flood that destroyed the earth? According to scripture our beginnings took place in the desert's of ancient Iraqi. Although the legend described in this novel is fiction, it is based in part upon a biblical account of the book of Genesis, Follow Zarah, the main character, a women strange in appearance, thoroughly spellbinding with green eyes and stark black hair. Along with Libb, Odom and Eshau, Noab and other colorful characters as they spin a delightful and intriguing fictional tale of life, temptation, and adventure during the beginning era of Ur's civilization, the incredible beginnings of mankind. There has been found no written account of the first two thousand years of human history, Those who had been inspired of God communicated orally their knowledge to others, retained this knowledge and handed it down from father to son through successive generations, until finally it was recorded in the bible, ascribed to the books of Moses. This novel describes a civilization in the area of a city of great wealth, luxury, and vice: The ancient city of Babylon, its people and their moral collapse prior to the great flood of Noah that destroyed all the living. Is this generation, in the eyes of the Creator, a violent people, again on the brink of an economic collapse and moral ruin, doomed for destruction as has been foretold in scripture? Has the world reached its zenith of magnitude or perhaps surpassed it?
