In Drafts 1-38, Toll, Rachel Blau DuPlessis has built a work which mimics memory and its losses, and which plays with the textures of memory, including its unexpectedness, its flashes and disappearances. Her recurrent motifs and materials include home, homelessness and exile; death and the memory of the dead; political grief and passion; silence, speech, the sayable and the ineffable. Drafts 1-38, Toll functions as a long poem comprised of 38 pieces, or drafts. These poems are conceived as autonomous "canto-like" sections that work on two procedural principles. One is the random repetition of lines or phrases across poems, a self-questioning, processual, and reconceptualizing strategy that honors the term "drafts." A second procedural principle is "the fold." This is the reconsideration of a "donor draft" and the deployment of some aspect in the donor draft in a related draft. The periodicity of this reconsideration is the number 19; hence drafts 1-19 make up the original layer, while drafts 20-38 constitute the first fold on top of this material.

PROSE Award Finalist for Psychology Prisoners on death row spend 22 or more hours a day alone in cramped, barren cells. They have little to do except wait to die -- without knowing if it will happen in days or decades. This extreme isolation combined with the omnipresent fear of death takes a severe psychological toll that is unnecessary, inhumane, and -- in the eyes of many -- unconstitutional.   In this book Hans Toch, James Acker and Vincent Bonventre present wide-ranging scholarly perspectives from psychologists, legal professionals, and criminologists, along with compelling personal accounts from prison administrators and actual death row inmates. Together, they reveal the systemic, physical, and moral conditions that define and underlie death row, as well as the humanity of death row inmates who struggle to find meaning amid a lack of human contact, physical activity, and mental stimulation. This book represents an urgent call to action for researchers, policymakers, and all those who seek criminal justice reform.

I will forever be grateful for this tool of healing. - Connie M. About the AuthorIn 1997 I entered a dark valley of depression when my husband, Jim, showed the first signs of dementia. Jim was angry all the time. I assumed I was the cause. After working together 34 blessed years, Jim as a dentist and I his dental hygienist, he was desperate to retire and assumed I knew the cause of his fear and anxiety. While Jim remained professional and kind to his patients, his anger was directed towards me. In the midst of this, I went to the Lord. Through God's Holy Word, the help of a Christian Psychologist, my physician, and a faithful prayer partner, I came out of my dark valley. I discovered that life is not about me but all about God and His unfailing love. During the 12 years of Jim's debilitating disease, I received grace upon grace to move through it with love and joy. This guided study was developed while I served as a Grief Care facilitator at a religious retreat on Lake Erie, and later at Spring Hills Baptist Church in Granville, Ohio. I have used this book as a tool in Grief Recovery and have facilitated the Grief Share program. The Joy of the Lord is my strength.Pictures of Hope is a love letter to wounded hearts. God is able to lift us out of our dark valleys of despair, into "His Valley Called Blessed." Fruit grows in His valley; a fruit of love that empowers the weary to rise and lift up another weary soul with the same hope they have experienced in God's love.Come join the great company of overcomers through Christ, who loves us and gave His life for us.The Comforter is waiting. Blessings, Dixie L. Merrill

As the Great War dragged on and its catastrophic death toll mounted, a new artistic movement found its feet in the United Kingdom. The Trench Poets, as they came to be called, were soldier-poets dispatching their verse from the front lines. Known for its rejection of war as a romantic or noble enterprise, and its plainspoken condemnation of the senseless bloodshed of war, Trench Poetry soon became one of the most significant literary moments of its decade. The marriage of poetry and comics is a deeply fruitful combination, as evidenced by this collection. In stark black and white, the words of the Trench Poets find dramatic expression and reinterpretation through the minds and pens of some of the greatest cartoonists working today. With New York Times bestselling editor Chris Duffy (Nursery Rhyme Comics, Fairy Tale Comics) at the helm, Above the Dreamless Dead is a moving and illuminating tribute to those who fought and died in World War I. Twenty poems are interpreted in comics form by twenty of today's leading cartoonists, including Eddie Campbell, Kevin Huizenga, George Pratt, and many others.
