When the need for telephone operators arose in the 1870s, the assumption was that they should all be male. Wages for adult men were too high, so boys were hired. They proved quick to argue with the subscribers, so females replaced them. Women were calmer, had reassuring voices and rarely talked back. Within a few years, telephone operators were all female and would remain so. The pay was low and working conditions harsh. The job often impaired their health, as they suffered abuse from subscribers in silence under pain of dismissal. Discipline was stern--dress codes were mandated, although they were never seen by the public. Most were young, domestic and anything but militant. Yet many joined unions and walked picket lines in response to the severely capitalistic, sexist system they worked under.

The poet is a young mind exploring her own emotions and feelings as she observes various occurrences involving human actions and nature’s reactions. Her sensitive and ever-curious mind questions everything—things to do with people, nature, wars, human atrocities, injustice, etc. She knows there are no easy answers to her questions. She takes readers through the complete gamut of emotions, going from agony to ecstasy and back and forth. Thoughts and feelings flow unabated like an eternal spring from the very depths of her heart. There is a strong affinity between the poet and nature. She feels flashes of pain and sorrow inflicted upon nature by her fellow beings out of their avarice. This anthology is a testimony to the turmoil our world is going through. Using free verse with great abandon, she echoes the cry of humanity, asking for succor and salvation. The poems are a treasure house of rich vocabulary with powerful words used to bare the poet’s heart and soul. Given the poet’s youth, it is remarkable for having created a work bursting with gentle beauty at one level and a true depiction of raw cruelty at another as the poet’s endeavors to awake man’s conscience.

Recent American Art Song: A Guide is a reference source devoted to songs with English texts by American composers, written for solo voice and piano. The book focuses exclusively on art song since 1980, a substantial period largely ignored by scholars. This is the first study to examine this repertory in detail, and many of the songs and composers are discussed in print for the first time. Keith E. Clifton has examined approximately 1000 songs by nearly 200 composers. Many songs employ musical idioms well beyond traditional classical styles, including references to jazz, musical theater, rap, and rock & roll, and several songs blur the boundaries between recital and stage works. Organized alphabetically by composer, entries contain complete biographical and bibliographical information, with major works and links to print resources and composer websites when available. In addition, Clifton provides detailed information on the vocal range, musical style, and appropriate voice type for individual songs. The book concludes with a full discography and bibliography, as well as indexes listing the works by poet, song cycle, title, voice type, and level of difficulty.

This book considers the family doctor relationship and the process of ending that relationship. What happens when a family doctor or someone like them, deeply committed to long-term relationships, decides to end those commitments? What’s involved? What are the embodied experiences for doctor and patient, for doctor and staff, for physician leader and others? What comes next? This book invites the reader to immerse in personal stories and reflections of family physicians who choose to retire from practice, depart long-standing leadership roles, or shift from one place of deep relational commitments to something else. These stories concern the particulars of family medicine and general practice, but they share much with any vocation rooted in the duties, challenges, and rewards of relationships bound by covenant and not transaction. This book is relevant to all professionals involved in healing relationships.
