That was the essence of the life an poetry of Langston Hughes.”—Senator John Kerry, from the PrefaceA beautifully designed collection of some of the greatest poems by a quintessentially American poet, whose theme of the promise of American inclusiveness continues to ring true.Langston Hughes was uncommonly attuned to the ideals of freedom and democracy and the sometimes elusive American dream.

    A principal component of these resources is 'cohesion'. This book studies the cohesion that arises from semantic relations between sentences. Reference from one to the other, repetition of word meanings, the conjunctive force of but, so, then and the like are considered. Further, it describes a method for analysing and coding sentences, which is applied to specimen texts.

    – Shubhangi Swarup (Latitudes of Longing)

    Despite--or perhaps because of--this and other familial forces pushing on them, each has a personality and direction of life distinct from her cousins. Celie is the top saleswoman in an upscale dress shop; Cecily is a playwright; Cecilia is a poet; Celine finds her expression in the seduction of men; and Celeste died as an infant. Ceci, the eldest of the Slaughter grandchildren and daughter of the admired and envied family beauty, Rose, died as a young adult and she serves as narrator of the novel from the afterlife. Through reflection, and with the counsel of Lao Tzu, she gradually attains a greater understanding and acceptance of Earthly human weakness, even as the lives of her living cousins lead inexorably to a violent and tragic conclusion. Set in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago, this unusual page turner utilizes poetry and a sense of theatrical staging to original and haunting effect, rending a family saga with both distance and intimacy.

    With an emphasis on critical self-reflection, Reflect & Relate gives students the practical skills to work through life's many challenges using better interpersonal communication. The sound theory, clear explanations, lively writing, practical activities, and vibrant design all work toward a single goal: Teaching students to make better communication choices so they can build happier and healthier interpersonal relationships.
