Josh Gershwin is a typical middle class senior at Thomas Jefferson high school in Richmond Virginia in 1964... well almost typical. Like many seniors he is juggling his studies and preparing for college when Penny suddenly enters the picture and unknowingly captures his heart. But as she prepares to fulfill her dream to become the first college educated female in her family, she is convinced she has no time for romance. As a determined Josh attempts to win her over, he finds himself in the middle of some mysterious, vexing and sometimes traumatic flash backs to a rebellious and dangerous time in the nation’s history, the war between the north and the south. At the heart of it all is a mysterious promise that emerges out of the past from a grateful comrade that only unveils itself to Josh over time. The Unlikely Promise is a sometimes humorous sometimes harrowing story of two young people whose lives become entwined. Whether you are an adolescent, a young adult or a baby boomer this book will appeal to you. It is a contemporary story with romance, humor and exciting scenes from our history and a mysterious thread that links the past to the present.

Bimillennial Essays on Ovid's Ars Amatoria and Remedia Amoris

The Art of Love

The Art of Love celebrates the bi-millennium of Ovid's cycle of sophisticated and subversive didactic poems on love, traditionally assumed to have been brought to completion around AD 2. Ars Amatoria (The Art of Love) and Remedia Amoris (Cures for Love), which purport to teach young Roman men and women how to be good lovers, were partly responsible for the poet's exile from Rome under the emperor Augustus. None the less they exerted great influence over ancient and later love poetry. This is the first collection in English devoted to the poems, and brings together many of the leading figures in the field of Latin literature and Ovidian studies from the British Isles, Germany, Italy, and the United States. It offers a range of perspectives on the poetics, politics, and erotics of the poems, beginning with a critical survey of recent research, and concluding with papers on the ancient, medieval, and modern reception of the poems.

A Commentary

Ovid, Fasti 1

Karen Richardson

Birthed at the popular open-mic series, La Parole, T-Dot Griots is an intimate journey through previously undocumented Canadian experiences, reporting from Toronto's black communities in fiction, poetry, articles, plays and songs. The book features contributions by over forty writers of African descent, either raised in or residing in Toronto. The griot is a West African storyteller, traditionally responsible for presiding over all of the important milestones in the life a community. T Dot Griots is a window into the communities occupied by black Canadian artists depicting their experiences living in the African diaspora. The griot carried the important function of preserving the community's history and culture through songs and recitations. Now transported across the Atlantic Ocean, non-traditional methods of expression emerge to document the existence of a little known group of people: the black community of Toronto. Toronto is widely acknowledged as the world's most culturally diverse city. T Dot Griots was produced to portray the rich cultural diversity existing within its African communities. The anthology brings together spoken word poets and PhD's, hip hop artists and playwrights, students and professionals. The book voices issues of racial inequality and immigrant experiences. It illustrates numerous spiritual vantage points and political commentaries. Most of all it is an unapologetically accurate representation of an ever growing canon of writers making Toronto their home, who wish to acknowledge the many facets of African-Canadian identity. Immerse yourself in the words, work and life of East, West and Southern Africans. Plunge into the hybridized dialect of Caribbean natives and descendents. Wade through generations of celebrated cast of Toronto's outspoken voices. Listen to the T Dot Griot tell the tale of the ages in a proudly Canadian style.
