    Feeding Desire analyses this beauty ideal in the context of Islam, conceptions of health, and notions of desire Full description

    But off the field, the life of a player who enjoyed a record ten Pro Bowl appearances and led the New York Giants to two Super Bowl victories was an all-out blitz, fueled by drugs, sex, and booze, and charging at breakneck speed toward total self-destruction. This is the shocking true story of a giant's fall ... and his remarkable journey back to the world.

    In the folk/blues tradition behind "Rhyme," in the incantatory pattern of "Behind the Motel," in the voices from past and present in "Letters Censored, Shredded, Returned to Sender or Judged Unfit to Send," in the dystopic scenes and intimate encounters of "Draft # 2006," in the mysterious negotiations of the title poem, the tempos and moods of this book constantly vary. Here, Rich draws on the artistic means of a lifetime.

    As I walked through the corridors with books in my hand I silently prayed hoping Danika Williams and her minions were not around, even if they were, hopefully Nathaniel Lachlan was around.He was the most feared guy in our city. He was the quarterback in football and also a genius in each and every aspect. I knew and liked him since kindergarten. He was a very friendly kid back then but after his parents died in an accident he has been aloof. He lived with his grandfather, Joseph Lachlan who was one of the richest men listed by Forbes.Nathaniel never talked much but always stood up against the bullies who targeted weak people. His one menacing look made the bullies question their existence. I sighed in relief when I saw my classroom from my peripheral vision.I almost jumped out of excitement becau-"Wait up Fatso, Where is my assignment, essay or whatever the hell you were supposed to complete? I turned around ready to be grilled. I saw Danika Williams and her minions."I didn't do it" I murmured looking down."Why the fuck not?"She sneered and her minions smirked at me which obviously said that 'YOU ARE DEAD'. I really wanted the ground to just open up and swallow me, not because I was scared of her but I really wasn't in a mood for this.I looked at her face as I saw her smile vanish and I felt a presence behind me which explained the situation very well.Turning around towards him and I swallowed hard.He was very tall as he took a step towards me and towered my height of 5′5. He was well-built anybody could tell he works out daily. His muscles were quite prominent in his loose white shirt and faded blue jeans. For the first time in my life I saw his eyes. They were steel gray and made me feel extremely intimidated. Don't even get me started with his unruly brown hair.In conclusion, he was a smoking tower of blazing hotness. He was A GREEK GOD."Nathan!! I was just helping her out with her homework." Danika's voice pulled me out of my trance. Her voice sounded like her vocal cords were soaked in maple syrup.Nathan looked at her and raised his eyebrow."Seriously! Trust me! Tell him Fats-I mean Elizabeth" She whined and nudged me in my stomach. Nathan bent down low till his eyes met mine.My eyes widened and I forgot how to breathe. "I will ask you only once and let me tell you this that I hate liars". As soon as I heard his voice shivers ran down my spine.Never in my life did I even dream of Nathaniel Lachlan talking to me. He backed me up against the locker and rested his hand near my head. "Were they troubling you?!" He asked or rather stated.I don't even know why he bothered asking me because the way he said it he was almost compelling me to say yes. I bit my lip hard and nodded. He stood up straight and I looked at Danika.She looked pale, all the colors drained out of her face. Well, I can't complain. I was all flustered up and probably looked like a tomato."You! Leave for your class. They won't bother you again. I give you my word." I quickly nodded without looking at him and ran down the hallway.True to his word I was never bothered by Danika or any of her minions. They just looked at me and sneered but never did anything harmful. I didn't see Nathan again either.After high school was over I heard he started attending some kind of military school. I missed seeing him around. I tried looking him up but to no avail. Meeting him ever again in my life was a wish I had to give up on.
