Clay Bronson is a product of the nineteenth century, half white, half Cheyenne, neither fitting into the fast pace of the twenty first century. As an ex-Navy fighter pilot, he returns to his roots in the Big Horns of Wyoming where he joins his Father and Brother on the rodeo circuit. Then one day their plane develops engine trouble and they make a forced landing in New Mexico where they find their counter parts on a Spanish Land Grant. This is where the story begins, as they follow the path of the Eagle, as they fly toward their destiny. About the Author J. D. Oliver highlights the struggle between good and evil in all his work, whether it is novels or the Cowboy Poetry he writes and performs. History, incredible knowledge of the world and the type of people who inhabit it are all present in his work. J. D. was born in Montana, where his roots go back to the early 1800's. Both sets of his grandparents homesteaded in Montana; on his mother's side, on a dry land wheat farm in Central Montana, Highwood to be exact. On his father's side it was on a cattle ranch in south central Montana, in the little town of Edgar, where he went to school with the Crow Indian children from Pryor, Montana. He traveled widely in the Navy and worked in the logging industry as well as an Operating Engineer, building roads and dams. However he always came back to the homestead during winter to help feed cattle with his Dad. J. D. is married with two children, seven grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

Now it is possible for the first time to trace in a systematic way the language patterns of one of the greatest poets who have written in English, W. B. Yeats. Like A Concordance to the Poems of Matthew Arnold, the first of the Cornell Concordances that are under the general editorship of Professor Parrish, this volume was produced on an IBM 704 electronic data-processing machine. Computer technique has so advanced that the Yeats concordance includes punctuation and gives cross references for the second parts of hyphenated words. The frequency of every word in Yeats's poems is given, and an appendix lists all indexed words in order of frequency. The body of this book consists of an index of all significant words in Yeats, each word listed in the line or lines in which it occurs. The concordance is based on the variorum text of Yeats, edited by Alspach and Allt, and includes all variants that occur in printed versions of Yeats's poems.

Although American Indian poetry is widely read and discussed, few resources have been available that focus on it critically. This book is the first collection of essays on the genre, bringing poetry out from under the shadow of fiction in the study of Native American literature. Highlighting various aspects of poetry written by American Indians since the 1960s, it is a wide-ranging collection that balances the insights of Natives and non-Natives, men and women, old and new voices.

Loyalty to the community is the highest value in Native American cultures, argues Jace Weaver. In That the People Might Live, he explores a wide range of Native American literature from 1768 to the present, taking this sense of community as both a starting point and a lens. Weaver considers some of the best known Native American writers, such as Leslie Marmon Silko, Gerald Vizenor, and Vine Deloria, as well as many others who are receiving critical attention here for the first time. He contends that the single thing that most defines these authors' writings, and makes them deserving of study as a literature separate from the national literature of the United States, is their commitment to Native community and its survival. He terms this commitment "communitism"--a fusion of "community" and "activism." The Native American authors are engaged in an ongoing quest for community and write out of a passionate commitment to it. They write, literally, "that the People might live." Drawing upon the best Native and non-Native scholarship (including the emerging postcolonial discourse), as well as a close reading of the writings themselves, Weaver adds his own provocative insights to help readers to a richer understanding of these too often neglected texts. A scholar of religion, he also sets this literature in the context of Native cultures and religious traditions, and explores the tensions between these traditions and Christianity.

Poems set in Oklahoma, Oxford University, and elsewhere deal with life as an Osage Indian, a Rhodes scholar, and a professor of medieval English literature

A TOTAL CATASTROPHE! All across Imihama, people have begun sprouting feline ears and tails, and adopting bizarre speech patterns! It seems the Ultrafaith Arrow Bisco and Milo fired at Kurokawa opened a gateway to an alternate dimension full of...samurai cats?! These katana-wielding kittens are being tormented by an ancient adversary who also happens to be the cause of the cat transformations back home. But as much as Bisco would love to put an arrow between their eyes, it turns out it’s pretty hard to draw a bowstring with cat paws... Can the Mushroom Keepers defeat this feline foe before their nine lives run out?!

After a stormy night, a farmer, searching for his lost calf, finds a baby eagle that has been blown out of its nest. He takes it home and raises it with his chickens. When a friend comes to visit one day, he tells the farmer that an eagle should be flying high in the sky, not staying on the ground. "But this eagle walks like a chicken, eats like a chicken, even thinks like a chicken," the farmer replies. Twice, the farmer's friend tries to get the eagle to fly, but it sees the chickens on the ground and drops down each time. At last the friend, followed by the farmer, carries the young eagle back into the mountains and places the great bird on a rocky ledge, just before sunrise. As the air is filled with golden light and the sun appears, the friend cries, "Fly, Eagle, fly!" and the eagle raises its wings and soars upward, out of sight. This simply told yet dramatic story from Africa will delight children everywhere and encourage them to "lift off and soar," as Archbishop Tutu puts it in his foreword. In lovely, expressive paintings of great beauty, sparked with touches of humor, Niki Daly, an internationally known artist, catches the essence of this powerful tale.

Louise Carmack began writing poetry in 1991. She didn't have an anniversary card for her husband Ted, so she sat down and quickly penned a poem instead. She had been writing for 40 years, but it was only on that fateful anniversary that she stumbled on her true gift, writing poetry. Since then she has written more than 300 poems. Carmack uses a great deal of symbolism in her prose, particularly in regard to a "higher order." The author typifies her poetry as "non-denominational/philosophical." "Most people recognize a 'higher order' had something to do with creation...so I use that a lot as my imagery," says Carmack. Blind since age 14, Louise says, "I have insight, rather than outsight. It's a blessing because too often people are judged by what they wear, how they look. I don't have to be bothered with all of that!" The goal of her work is to promote positive thinking and an optimistic disposition to the reader by creating each poem in an uplifting and positive fashion.

This is Am Volume 4.It hardly mentions Am, but he haunts the tale.This is a horror story.Am is an alter ego of mine.And this volume is still about him although in this volume it is in the form of a story about an imaginary wife of mine-Sarah, and her dysfunctional family, with husband John and children Mary and Paul.The book talks a lot about religion- AM speaks. He is, as described in other volumes through the monsters Jale, Beester and Crowndser a complete selfish monster!This is a book that lives a nightmare and exudes false religion.Maybe it is supernatural horror. St Paul's letter to the Romans Ch 4 v 18-25. Maybe this monster story will fulfill a dream I had many years ago of becoming a recognised artist.Abraham only believed and despite the apparent impossibity of the prophesy, his faith was ""considered as justifying him"" Amen
