ISBN:

Music as a form of social activism dates back for centuries, but rarely has there been a movement as provocative, daring and exciting as homocore, the queer-oriented rock scene. Journalist David Ciminelli has been immersed in this scene since the early 90s and his book drops you right in the action as Brian Grillo leaps from the stage at the Viper Room to chase a homophobic heckler up Sunset Boulevard. It takes you backstage as Pansy Division recalls being pelted by coins when they supported Green Day. This is the fascinating story of using music as a powerful tool in gay activism.

Much has been written about Vietnam and life in the Army. In almost every case the pictures, documentaries, and books concentrate on one of two major subjects. Most have been about life in combat with movies such as Yawn Wayne in Green Beret or Chuck Bore-us in his combat action flicks. Almost all of the documentaries were strictly about combat operations. The same can also be said about most of the pictures or documentaries coming out of World War I, II, Korea or Vietnam. The other type of picture features a unique character, such as the one played by Robin Williams in Good Morning Vietnam. There was also Sergeant Bilko or Gomer Pyle, for the older generation. In reality, it took seven men to support one man in the field. You seldom read what life was like for any of those seven support personnel. This book gives you a glimpse into the life of a non-combatant Ditty Bopper in the top secret world of the Army Security Agency. A Ditty Bopper works with Morse code. All I had to do was sit back, relax, and listen to the radio while I enjoyed another cigarette with my fresh hot cup of coffee. Yes, life was tough in Vietnam with our air conditioned rooms, comfortable beds, clean linen, regular mail, an Enlisted Mens Club, four hot square meals a day, and a swimming pool for part of the time I was there. SPECIAL BONUS Ive included 80 full color pictures of my adventure in the ASA and most of the letters I sent home. Now you can read my on-the-spot comments. Remember The Ballad of the ASA, the 23 AR, or several of the other interesting pieces of literature written by someone someplace else? These are included.

Wayde Compton's first poetry book: a stunning set of poems documenting the migration of Blacks to Canada, specifically when the first Black settlers-facing an increasingly hostile racist government-left San Francisco and travelled north to British Columbia beginning in 1858. With recurring themes of the unknowable, the crossroads, the trickster, and entropy, 49th Parallel Psalm jumbles history, time, and the Canadian black literary canon.

Ed McBain concocts a brilliant and intricate thriller about a master criminal who haunts the city with cryptic passages from Shakespeare, directing the detectives of the 87th Precinct to a future crime -- if only they can figure out what he means. The 87th Precinct gets a visit from one of the city's most accomplished criminals -- a thief known as the Deaf Man. Because he might be deaf. Or he might not. So little is known about the man who is harassing Detective Steve Carella with puzzling messages that it is hard to tell. But as soon as a pattern emerges, the detectives of the 87th are forced to hit the books and brush up on their Shakespeare -- because each new clue contains a line from one of his works. Unless they can crack the complicated riddles and beat the Deaf Man at his own cat-and-mouse game, someone is going to end up hurt, or something will be stolen -- or both. It's always so hard to tell with the Deaf Man. Ed McBain brings his most intelligent and devious criminal back to the 87th Precinct with a richly plotted and literary crime.
