""A Pageant For Every Addiction takes its title from "A Few Promises," the last poem in the book. The phrase is but one of many promises in that tour de force distribution poem. Two other long poems anchor the book: "First Date Questions," the engaging opener, plays with naiveté as sophistication, or vice versa ("Can a pregnant woman drive 'solo' in the HOV lane?") & ("What color is nothing?"). And the free-spirited textural epic in the middle of the book, "Substitute Fossil" ("Can we force against these entropies a grunting glob of allegation?") & ("Let all our neurotics know that we shall joust with them to oppose agony. And let every prankster know that this heretic tends to remain the bane of its own houseplant.")! These three poems in themselves are enough book to satisfy this reader, but they are joined by a trove of enigmatic, probing short works whose unpredictable word choices challenge the logic of lyrical intention. As collaboration, the poems are seamlessly fused, never feeling like the back and forth between radically different sensibilities. Charmingly hilarious, studiously off-beat, brightly questioning, Tom Fink and Maya Mason's "pageant" is suffused with a literate pleasure whose engine keeps generating more pleasure."--Geoffrey Young"--

In Overcoming Crystal Methamphetamine Addiction, one of the few books to address the topic for a general audience, Dr. Steven Lee, MD, a psychiatrist who specializes in crystal meth addiction, offers a complete guide to the drug, its effects, and how to overcome it. Based on extensive scientific and social research and drawing from his professional experience, he covers everything from the definition and history of crystal meth to the physical and psychological effects; from dealing with the addictive personality to helping a friend or family member cope with it. He focuses on understanding rather than outright condemnation of the drug, and empathetically covers all of the crucial questions: What is crystal meth? How is it made? How does it affect the body? How do you know if you're addicted to it? How do you stop using it? What if you don't want to stop? If you are going to use CM anyway, how can you minimize the damage? What if you quit but slipped and used again?

Free from Captivity provides a Biblical guide to overcome addiction and its teachings help in addiction treatment. While Free From Captivity: a Biblical guide to overcome addiction devotes several chapters to alcohol and drugs, it takes into account all addictions. Ms. Grey herself is free from alcohol 26+ years, and ended tobacco and overcame other addiction throughout her Christian walk. She also dealt with alcohol and drug addiction among her family members. She brings to you her experiences and the Biblical secrets to her success to overcoming addiction. Free From Captivity: Biblical Secrets To Overcome Addiction enlists humor as Erika describes the addict’s make-up and how they differ from a non-addict. From here she delves into drugs and their use around the world. She teaches how each works in the body and explains that the high is not a high at all, but rather the rearrangement of the brain’s own chemistry. Erika uncovers the Bible’s teachings of “The Prison House” that the addict finds him or herself in. She explains the story of Samson as a picture of the addictive cycle. Erika Grey teaches God’s Word on how to get free from the House of Bondage and stay free. She reveals details from the book of Joshua and Judges on how to obtain victory from the enemies within our person that drive us to our addictions. The purpose is so that each reader can find their Promised Land, a place of joy and peace and fellowship with God. To aid the recovery process, Erika provides an herbal directory to help the addict withdraw and heal from various drugs.

Why do the vast majority of heroin users live in cities? In his provocative history of heroin in the United States, Eric C. Schneider explains what is distinctively urban about this undisputed king of underworld drugs. During the twentieth century, New York City was the nation's heroin capital—over half of all known addicts lived there, and underworld bosses like Vito Genovese, Nicky Barnes, and Frank Lucas used their international networks to import and distribute the drug to cities throughout the country, generating vast sums of capital in return. Schneider uncovers how New York, as the principal distribution hub, organized the global trade in heroin and sustained the subcultures that supported its use. Through interviews with former junkies and clinic workers and in-depth archival research, Schneider also chronicles the dramatically shifting demographic profile of heroin users. Originally popular among working-class whites in the 1920s, heroin became associated with jazz musicians and Beat writers in the 1940s. Musician Red Rodney called heroin the trademark of the bebop generation. "It was the thing that gave us membership in a unique club," he proclaimed. Smack takes readers through the typical haunts of heroin users—52nd Street jazz clubs, Times Square cafeterias, Chicago's South Side street corners—to explain how young people were initiated into the drug culture. Smack recounts the explosion of heroin use among middle-class young people in the 1960s and 1970s. It became the drug of choice among a wide swath of youth, from hippies in Haight-Ashbury and soldiers in Vietnam to punks on the Lower East Side. Panics over the drug led to the passage of increasingly severe legislation that entrapped heroin users in the criminal justice system without addressing the issues that led to its use in the first place. The book ends with a meditation on the evolution of the war on drugs and addresses why efforts to solve the drug problem must go beyond eliminating supply.

In Pop-Feminist Narratives, Emily Spiers explores the recent phenomenon of 'pop-feminism' and pop-feminist writing across North America, Britain, and Germany. Pop-feminism is characterised by its engagement with popular culture and consumerism; its preoccupation with sexuality and transgression in relation to female agency; and its thematisation of intergenerational feminist discord, portrayed either as a damaging discursive construct or as a verifiable phenomenon requiring remediation. Central to this volume is the question of theorising the female subject in a postfeminist neoliberal climate and the role played by genre and narrative in the articulation of contemporary pop-feminist politics. The heightened visibility of mainstream feminist discourse and feminist activism in recent years—especially in North America, Britain, and Germany—means that the time is ripe for a coherent comparative scholarly study of pop-feminism as a transnational phenomenon. This volume provides such an account of pop-feminism in a manner which takes into account the varied and complex narrative strategies employed in the telling of pop-feminist stories across multiple genres and platforms, including pop-literary fiction, the popular 'guide' to feminism, film, music, and the digital.

Having an addiction can follow the path of a great relationship that goes sour: there’s the first blush of romance, the seduction (“you know you want to”), and the downward spiral into either obsession or breaking free. Jill Talbot is no stranger to addiction. Part autobiography, part exposé, Loaded: Women and Addiction weaves Talbot's own battles with addiction with various addiction stories of other women. The result is a captivating, honest look at the allure of addiction—be it to sex, drugs, alcohol, food, adventure, or infidelity—and ultimately its betrayal. Though addiction can be seductive, if you’re waking up with guilt or making choices that harm others, it’s probably a clue that things are out of control. Throughout Loaded, Talbot's razor-sharp honesty, heartbreaking self-awareness, and resolve to reveal the difficult truth of her relationship with past and present addictions is humbling and sometimes gut-wrenching. In sharing her struggles and her resolve to attain control over her addictions, Talbot speaks her truth while sending a message of hope to women everywhere.

From the runway of the southern beauty pageant to the runway of a commercial airlineRosemary travels the runways of her life in search of The Truth, her Truth. What she goes through to find it, well, trust me, youve never gone this far with a Southern Belle before. In the process of unloading her own baggage, familiar pieces of all our lives emerge: families that influence us, roles that define us, prejudice that divides us, divorces that haunt us, and our authentic selves that save us! Youll travel to places you recognize and others you really recognize but refuse to admit. She approaches the struggles and triumphs of the Southern Belle with humor but makes a u-turn each time she remembers how unfunny it was to be one. Ultimately, ironically, her gradual healing takes place because she was one.
