Anthology on the Detroit Riot of 1967, the most devastating event in Detroit history. In the commemorative essays contained in this anthology, it's not so much about why the riot happened, but what it was like to see it happen firsthand. The book contains 13 riveting stories from people who lived to tell them. One story tells how a teenager's excitement of going to see Stevie Wonder at the Fox Theatre in july 1967 turned into a harrowing rescue mission. Another writer tells how after having a National Guardsman's rifle shoved in her face, she had a shift in consciousness about civil rights and joined the Black Panther Party as a teen.

Young Adult Fiction. African American Studies. For Charles Malik Jacobs, the summer of junior year will change everything. He dreams about being a writer someday, but for now, he's just dreaming. Exceptionally bright, he wins a gifted artist scholarship to Cal State. While there, however, he can't help but think about what he is leaving behind in Chicago—family, friends and more importantly, his former self. He relies on photographs to help him see what he believes he has lost. What Malik doesn't know is that he will gain much more this summer, including the love of someone named Bleu. I am smart. Extremely smart, so says my parents, friends and teachers. But it doesn't register. I don't see it, at least not like they see it.... I'm a bit lazy—a daydreamer. My father, a big fan of mine, persecutes me about my laziness, how I will daydream my life away.

Poetry. With dark humor, spare language and a keen eye, Daniel Ames invites us all to pull up a chair to his first collection of poems. In FEASTING AT THE TABLE OF THE DAMNED, Ames celebrates, observes and reflects not only on how we choose to live, but how we ultimately live with those choices. Ames's book is an exploration. It's an examination of the ramifications of living life to the utmost degree. How do we reconcile the emotional extremes between love and death, joy and sorrow, hope and regret, trust and betrayal? There are no answers, but the poems in FEASTING provide a few clues. Loaded with themes ranging from war and the pursuit of happiness, to dreams and the fine line between sanity and insanity, FEASTING is a moving collection of poems that resonate long after they've been read...and savored.
