How does one's spirit continue living when another dream dies? The answer to this question is central to Plight of an American Poet by Patrick Barry. This intriguing book presents how Patrick lived through his darkest moments and rose like a phoenix from the ashes of the past. Throughout five distinctly different chapters, each poem takes the reader through various stages of life, death, grief, love, faith, friendship, and betrayal. Patrick breathes new life into modern poetry, encouraging the reader to perceive poetry as a respected and valuable element of the human condition. He demonstrates how writing poetry has been therapeutic throughout his life yet extends the hopeful expectation that some comfort may be found in his verses for each reader who picks up this book. Despite how unsettling, disturbing, or controversial the content of many poems is, this inspiring collection serves as a grand invitation to find an authentic, shared connection with our collective humanity, no matter how differently we have lived, loved, rejoiced, or suffered. Patrick urges us not to allow our darkest moments to make us forget that there is always warmth and light on the other side of our suffering. Come. Gather your ashes and prepare to take flight through the power of poetry.

With a little knowledge and a lot of practice, you can do more than just sound more professional when you skillfully use commas, semicolons, and other forms of punctuation. You can, importantly, become more persuasive. That's what students who have taken Professor Patrick Barry's classes at the University of Michigan Law School, the University of Chicago Law School, and the UCLA School of Law have learned, as have the over 100,000 people who have enrolled in his online course "Good with Words: Writing and Editing" on the educational platforms Coursera and FutureLearn. Now, thanks to this book, you can undergo that same rhetorical transformation. Punctuation doesn't have to be a pain point. When properly mastered, it can be a powerful tool for all kinds of advocates.

Suppose you were good with words. Suppose when you decided to speak, the message you delivered-and the way you delivered it-successfully connected with your intended audience. What would that mean for your career prospects? What would that mean for your comfort level in social situations? And perhaps most importantly, what would that mean for your satisfaction with the personal relationships you value the most? This book is designed to help you find out. Based on an award-winning course and workshop series at the University of Michigan taken by students training to enter a wide range of fields-law, business, medicine, social work, public policy, design, engineering, and many more-it removes the guesswork from figuring out how to communicate clearly and compellingly. All of us have ideas that are worth sharing. Why not learn how to convey yours in a way that people will appreciate, enjoy, and remember?

It's not an accident that hall of fame coaches, Pulitzer Prize-winning writers, and the marketing teams at the most innovative companies in the world often rely on a certain three-part structure when trying to communicate their ideas. This third volume of The Syntax of Sports series explores the mechanics of that structure and shows how it can add a compelling mix of clarity and sophistication to your writing. Like in the previous volumes, the materials come from a popular course at the University of Michigan. Here are comments from students who have taken it: "The quality of this course was fantastic!" "Professor Barry really knows how to keep students engaged." "Professor Barry is very passionate about teaching, and his enthusiasm made me want to write and learn." "This course not only helps you become a better writer but also sheds light on how you might become a better person."

What can we learn from baseball great Ted Williams about how to improve our writing? What can we learn we from the iconic ESPN show SportsCenter about how to manage information? And are you sure you really know what the word "peruse" means? Explore these and other questions in the second volume of The Syntax of Sports, a series designed to recreate a popular course at the University of Michigan. Here are a few things students have said about the experience of taking it. "Patrick Barry is the best teacher I have ever had. I have never learned so much in a class. I hated English my whole life until I took this course." "I feel like this is and always will be the most valuable class I've ever taken here." "I genuinely wanted to show up to this class due to the amount I knew I would learn." "I'm going to severely SEVERELY miss this course." "Every student should try to take one of Prof. Barry's classes if he or she wants to become a better writer." "My writing is now 113x better."

I smile and wave as I back out of my drive way and turn on the radio.The song 679 comes on, and I can't help but to hum along to it. Irace down the road, stopping only at stoplights, trying to get awayfrom this town, away from these people, away from it all. I've livedhere ever since I was born. I've never moved, not once in my life.

To succeed in law, business, education, government, health care, and many other fields, it is becoming increasingly important to distinguish yourself as a savvy communicator. Social media has only accelerated the ways in which we all must learn to use our words to connect, compete, and create. There are features of the English language, however, that many of us haven't taken full advantage of yet. Notes on Nuance is designed to help change that. Drawing on a diverse collection of authors-from novelists to physicists, from ancient Greek historians to modern-day CEOs-it reveals the hidden mechanics that skilled writers use to add style and sophistication to their sentences and slogans. It's the perfect resource for people who are looking to do more with their written words. This book includes materials from a popular course called "Good with Words: Writing and Editing" that Professor Patrick Barry created at both the University of Michigan Law School and the University of Chicago Law School. An online version of that course is now available through the educational platform Coursera.
