Synopsis

In 'Tramping With a Poet in the Rockies,' the collection embarks on a vivid exploratory journey through the rugged beauty and vast landscapes of the American West. This anthology captures a range of literary styles, from lyrical poetry to reflective prose, that pay homage to the majestic Rockies' metaphoric and literal resonance. Within these pages, the wilderness becomes a canvas for stories that traverse the sublime and the ordinary, subtly highlighting the intersection of nature and human experience. The pieces stand as testaments to both the untamed wilderness and the internal landscapes navigated by the authors, rendering a profound narrative tapestry. The anthology draws from the imaginative minds of Vachel Lindsay and Stephen Graham, each bringing a unique perspective and cultural lens to the Appalachian trails and mountainous passes. Lindsay, known for his rhythmically engaging poetry and deeply humanistic themes, bridges the connection between the external environment and internal introspection. Graham, an adventurer and travel writer, complements this with vivid descriptions and a journalist's eye for detail. Together, they align with early 20th-century movements that emphasized a return to nature and exploration, fostering a diverse dialogue that enriches this collection. For readers desiring an immersive escape into the enlightened confines of natural wonder, 'Tramping With a Poet in the Rockies' offers a multi-layered exploration of American wilderness through the prism of poetic and narrative diversity. The collection provides an expansive foray into the Rockies' dramatic yet serene landscapes, allowing readers to experience these environments from diverse narrative standpoints. This anthology is a scholarly treasure offering valuable insights into the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature, making it essential reading for those seeking to understand the dialogues that shape human identity in the context of natural vastness.

    Leonard Cohen has aimed high: to be all Jewish heroes at once. Like Jacob, he struggled with angels. Like David, he sang psalms and seduced women. But he never ceased doing what he did best: going from city to city and reviving our hearts. Leonard Cohen: The Man Who Saw the Angels Fall follows the singer’s cosmopolitan life from Montreal and New York to the Greek island of Hydra and examines his perpetual dialogues with himself, God, and avalanches.
    		 
    We see how six decades of radiant pessimism and a few thousand nights in hotel rooms transformed a young Jewish poet who longed to be a saint into an existentialist troubadour in love with women and a gravelly-voiced crooner who taught a thousand ways of dissolving into love.
    		 
    After more than two decades of research and travels, Christophe Lebold, who befriended the poet and spent time with him in Los Angeles, delivers a stimulating analysis of Cohen’s life and art. Gracefully blending biography and essay, he interrogates the mission Cohen set out for himself: to show us that darkness is just the flip side of light.

    A riveting memoir by one of the most successful football coaches in America!As head coach of the Oklahoma Sooners, Barry Switzer was the fourth most successful coach in NCAA history. Both praised and reviled by the media as the "outlaw" of college football, Switzer was characterized as the "greatest rogue, pirate, hustler, and con man" ever to command a football team. As head coach for the Dallas Cowboys, he led America' s team to victory in Superbowl XXX.
    In Bootlegger's Boy, Switzer gets the chance to tell it all from his point of view. He recounts the rough path he took from his youth— in which his father served prison time for bootlegging and his mother committed suicide— to his rare distinction as one of only three individuals to win national championships in college football and the NFL.
