This collection of Jonathan Swift¿s poetry is separated in three parts, according to their subject matter. The first section are poems addressed to a woman named Stella. Based off a real-life close friend of Swift¿s, Esther Johnson, the portion of poetry addressed to Stella contain beautiful tributes to this woman, with simple titles such as Stelläs Birthday March 13, 1727. Though these poems display a tender amount of intimacy shared between the two, Esther Johnson and Jonathan¿s relationship is shrouded in mystery, leaving readers and historians to debate if they were just friends or something more romantic. The next section of The Poems of Jonathan Swift are dedicated to a woman called Vanessa, who was based off of one of Swift¿s lovers, Esther Vanhomrigh. Their correspondence and his poems about her suggested a more romantic relationship than the one he shared with Stella. With elegant word choice and masterful form, both women and their relationships with Swift are well documented in this book of poems. The final part of The Poems of Jonathan Swift is dedicated to the love of Swift¿s career¿the satirization of politics. All of Swift¿s poems are written in iambic tetrameter and end rhyme, creating a fun and quick reading experience. This is a large collection of poetry covers a wide variety of topics with the humor and satire that Jonathan Swift was famous for. With these attributes, readers are welcome to enjoy Jonathan Swift¿s mysterious and passionate relationships as well as his humorous and intelligent criticism of politics.

First appearing in 1845 The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, with its painfully vivid depiction of life in bondage, was both a bestseller in its day and one of the most powerful, authoritative texts lending support to the abolitionist movement. The author traces his life from an infant born into slavery and taken from his mother at birth, to a displaced child hungry for knowledge, to an abused and beaten laborer seeking freedom and a chance to marry the woman he loved. Offering bright, cameo glimpses into a world that should not be forgotten, Douglass chronicles both the cruel violence of a system that saw him as little more than livestock, and the brighter moments of success, of courageous support from friends and allies. Initially greeted by some with doubt that it could have been written by a black man and former slave, the book had a profound effect on American society, making the author something of a celebrity and his cause less an abstract ideal and more of an urgent human concern. Solemn, powerful and passionate The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is more than an important historical document--it is a personal account of striving for human freedom in a world where the author was regarded as neither free nor human. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is both modern and readable.

Insider peek into ¿cousin culture¿ and its importance for Black children and families. Author has done several interviews about this subject.

Author has excellent platform and is working with respected publicist, Dawn Michelle Hardy, to grow her brand. Vibrant art brings the story to life. Excellent diversity pick full of humor and positive SEL character traits. From the author: "A big theme in my head is how we carve out an identity for ourselves growing up and all that goes into it (believing in yourself, recognizing your strengths as an individual apart from other people, etc.). Ultimately I'm hoping it reinforces the notion that being true to yourself is best. On the familial side of things - it's a book unique to Black families because Cousin Culture is such a big part of growing up Black (sometimes cousins aren't always blood-cousins; it's more about community)." Book guide will be available. Synopsis: Main character eagerly awaits her summer visits with her cousins. This year, she¿s determined to earn a nickname. Lexile 660L; F&P Text Level O
