Описание: The definitive sampling of a writer whose poems were "at the forefront of the Harlem Renaissance and of modernism itself, and today are fundamentals of American culture" (OPRAH Magazine). Here, for the first time, are all the poems that Langston Hughes published during his lifetime, arranged in the general order in which he wrote them. Lyrical and pungent, passionate and polemical, the result is a treasure of a book, the essential collection of a poet whose words have entered our common language. The collection spans five decades, and is comprised of 868 poems (nearly 300 of which never before appeared in book form) with annotations by Arnold Rampersad and David Roessel.Alongside such famous works as The Negro Speaks of Rivers and Montage of a Dream Deferred, The Collected Poems includes Hughes's lesser-known verse for children; topical poems distributed through the Associated Negro Press; and poems such as Goodbye Christ that were once suppressed.

Описание:
Introduction by Arnold Rampersad.
Langston Hughes, born in 1902, came of age early in the 1920s. In The Big Sea he recounts those memorable years in the two great playgrounds of the decade--Harlem and Paris. In Paris he was a cook and waiter in nightclubs. He knew the musicians and dancers, the drunks and dope fiends. In Harlem he was a rising young poet--at the center of the Harlem Renaissance. Arnold Rampersad writes in his incisive new introduction to The Big Sea, an American classic: This is American writing at its best--simpler than Hemingway; as simple and direct as that of another Missouri-born writer...Mark Twain.

Описание:
Katie Langston is an unlikely convert to Christianity.
She grew up in a devout, conservative Mormon family in Utah, served a proselytizing mission to Bulgaria when she was 21, married for "time and all eternity" in the Mormon temple when she was 23. From the outside, she had a typical Mormon life. Inside, she was coming apart at the seams.
From childhood, she battled "The Questions"-obsessive-compulsive disorder, though she didn't have a diagnosis for it until much later-and lived inside a complex maze of anxiety and fear. This was compounded by Mormonism's emphasis on "worthiness," a designation of acceptability in Mormon practice, that brought her to the edge of despair as a young mother.
Then, almost by accident, she had an encounter with the grace of Jesus Christ-and her world changed.
In candid but not sensationalized ways, Langston explores little-understood Mormon practices and teachings while grappling with universal human questions such as the nature of faith, the complexity of family, the process of healing, and what it means to truly belong.
This book is intended to be a bridge-builder, a way to help non-Mormons understand Mormonism and Mormons orthodox Christianity through the power of personal narrative. Most of all, it is a testimony of Jesus Christ, in the hopes that those who read it-Mormon, Christian, or neither-will catch a glimpse of the spectacular, life-changing grace of God.

If you want to make bedtime into a memorable experience while giving your child all the benefits that come with reading bedtime stories, then keep reading...
Children love bedtime stories, and they serve an important role in helping a child develop his or her imagination in ways that visual media can't.
Though the reader will paint a picture with their words, the child will be left to fill in the details with their own imagination.
This self-generation of the story you convey will build your child's creativity levels and will help relax your child.
If you read to him or her in a calm and gentle manner, it will help relieve the tension your child has built up during the day and allow them to slip off into a deep and soothing sleep.
We often fail to recognize just how important a good night's sleep is to a child's wellbeing; that deep sleep sets them up for the following day.
With this guide and a good night's rest, you will see them wake up in a better mood and free from any stress that lack of sleep invariably causes.
Finally, there is another important aspect to consider. Reading to a child is far more than just an act of storytelling; you are going with your child on an adventure.
You become a part guide, part companion, and part co-conspirator. You also become someone who can be trusted and someone to share in some of the child's most formative memories. Set aside your own cares and concerns for a few minutes and enjoy the journey with them.
If done well, it will be a journey that your child will remember forever. Even if the details of the witches, dragons, and unicorns escapes them, they will always remember their traveling companion.
The benefits are:
Helps children prepare for a deeper, more relaxed sleep
Encourages the development of imagination
Generates a greater level of creativity
Healing sleep prepares the child for the following day
Creates an important bond between listener and reader
Provides a child with lifelong memories they will pass on to the next generation
Encourages a child to want to learn to read
And teaches a few life lessons along the way
