Personal Alarm is a collection of poems I wrote after I discovered that the music career I felt destined to have after my move to California, was not in the cards for me. My frustration needed another art-form in offering that release. Ive always had a love for the written word in composing lyrics for my songs, so the transition felt natural and perfect for me. The more poets I discovered, the more my heart felt compelled to pursue this lyrical process of unburdening myself, in a hard and uncompromising world. These poems were written in 1997. More volumes will follow at a later date.

Esta obra saca a la luz esos principios sobre la sexualidad que son de sentido común y que nos han enseñado a dar por supuestos. Las distinciones entre heterosexual y homosexual están entre nuestras diferencias sexuales mas sorprendentes, y son fundamentales para los mecanismos de disciplina y exclusion en los discursos y practicas sociales dominantes. En las instituciones escolares y en otros contextos, estas cuestiones estan sujetas a inhibiciones y miedos; y a ello se añade una gran pobreza en la informacion con la que se trabaja, cuando no importantes e interesadas distorsiones y manipulaciones en los datos.. Debbie EPSTEIN y Richard JOHNSON colaboran en la construccion de estrategias y discursos contrahegemonicos poniendo de manifiesto las implicaciones de los actuales debates sobre la sexualidad en las instituciones escolares. Plantean y responden a cuestiones controvertidas como: ¿Hasta que punto la escolarizacion esta influida por los debates publicos y los escandalos en torno a la sexualidad? ¿Cual es el impacto del feminismo y de los movimientos de gays y lesbianas? ¿Que papel desempeñan los centros de enseñanza en la construccion de las distintas identidades, incluidas las sexuales? ¿Por que la educacion sexual es tan imposible en los colegios? ¿Que estrategias podrian mejorar el actual estado de dicha educacion?. Nos hallamos ante un libro escrito con un lenguaje accesible, pero riguroso y con una solida argumentacion, que resultara de indudable interes para el profesorado y todas aquellas personas dedicadas a cuestiones de politica educativa, genero, sexualidad y estudios culturales.

The core of this volume is primitive, because the rhythms of the poems are simple, yet their contents contain multitudes of meaning. Its a book that makes its position plain by not forcing its reader to overthink or grasp some deeper message. It only hopes to show that regardless of where weve advanced through time in this country, certain basic primitive principles, will always remain the same....

Long before there was the Super Bowl, the NBA Championship, the Final Four, or the World Cup, there was the World Series. In the beginning, men in derbies sat in the outfield and marveled at Mathewson and McGraw. Today, fans congregate in sports bars, staring at screens big enough to see which players have shaved that day. For a century, the World Series has captured the nations imagination. The drama has included Willie Mayss catch, of course, and Reggie Jacksons home runs, and the gratifying day when Walter Johnson finally won. But the plot lines have also featured the audacious fixing of the 1919 Series and the unlikely heroics of various journeymen never much heard of before the span of a few brilliant autumn days, and never much heard of since. There has been one perfect game. There have been any number of perfectly inexplicable managerial decisions, not all of them made by managers of the Red Sox. There has been drama, comedy, and pathos.Fall Classics is a collection of the best writing about the World Series in its first hundred years. Certainly it is a kind of history of the event. It is also a catalog of the work of some of the most accomplished and entertaining writers of the past century, since the World Series has drawn to itself not only our best sports scribblers, but many writers who wouldnt have dreamed of writing about the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Final Four, or even the Super Bowl. Here youll find Jimmy Breslin telling Damon Runyons fantastic story of how he got the scoop on where Grover Cleveland Alexander spent the first innings of a seventh game he eventually won. (Hint: It wasnt the bullpen.) Satchel Paige recalls his experience of finally getting to pitch in the Series in 1948. Red Smith writes about Willie Mayss last hurrah with the Mets in 1973 against the As. And Peter Gammons and Roger Angell give their takes on the two most famous game sixes of all, Gammons on 1975 and Angell on 1986. The games and the memories go on. For every fan whose heart yearns for a bleacher seat, a ballpark frank, and a slice of October Americana, Fall Classics is a treasure.
