"In 1969, Honor Moore was twenty-three, a theater student yearning for love and working for radical change, but studying administration and keeping secret, even from herself, her wish to imagine the world by becoming a poet. There was an older lover, a professor, and, with another man, an unwanted sexual encounter. That spring, she had an abortion. A Termination is the story of the young woman who made that decision, and of how that act of resistance, then shrouded in fear and silence, has reverberated throughout her life since. Angry, nostalgic, questioning, and romantic, the memoir pursues the associations of memory, moving from the New Haven of Yale Drama School, the Living Theatre and the Black Panthers; to the New York City of theater, jazz, and the Chelsea Hotel; the Berkshires of rock and roll at Tanglewood, and Chicago in the wake of the 1968 Democratic Convention. Framing the story is a self-portrait of the author fifty-five years later, a woman with a sexual past, a poet who has made her own way. A lyric, searching memoir, A Termination asks what it means to write with full honesty about one's life--to explore who we were, and how our choices shape and allow who we become"--

OURstory Unchained and Liberated from HIStory is a historical narrative that researches the lives and legacies of the slave ancestors of the first African American dean hired at Clemson University, uncovering unsuspecting ties between John C. Calhoun, owner of Fort Hill plantation (now Clemson University) and John Myers Felder, the largest Felder slave holder in South Carolina. Movement of Felder slaves from South Carolina to Mississippi, then Louisiana, and finally Texas reflects the location of the Felder freedmen post slavery, and patterns of civic and personal activity of the freedmen are likewise similar to that seen in the white families presumably associated with these men and women who survived the ordeal of enslavement. OURstory Unchained and Liberated from HIStory establishes who the Swiss Felder family was that came to South Carolina in 1735 and participated in the American Revolution - seeking freedom from what they determined to be a tyrannical British rule over their destinies. It describes how the general culture of the low-country's - attitudes towards slavery was developed and was fully supported by the Felders as they served as legislators and judges significantly involved in establishing the laws and rules that governed the institution. Patterns and legacies that are highlighted include religion, education, and economic empowerment/property ownership. The establishment of the A.M.E. religion and participation in it by freedmen is testimony to the abiding faith that brought these men, women and children through the mostbrutal form of slavery developed in the modern world. The building of schools (public, private, religious, and historically black colleges anduniversities) by the freedmen -- slashing illiteracy of African Americans in half within 35 years of enslavement - is nothing short of miraculous for an entire race of people who could not write or spell their names just a few years prior. And finally, the ability to unite their families, secure work, and purchase homes reflect a race determined to master principles of economic empowerment despite the atrocities of their past.OURstory Unchained and Liberated from HIStory unearths the ancestors of the author, who turn out to be of African descent, United States Colored Troops and Confederate soldiers in the Civil War, and black and white Americans. This book reflects the deeply Southern experience that too many don't want to admit, sheds light on the intentional silence that has prevented many African Americans from discovering their roots and connecting with their past. However, it also provides a glimmer of hope in its conclusion, identifying examples of many black Americans who, now unchained and liberated, have excelled in careers from physics to sports, suggesting, prayerfully, that better times are ahead regarding race relations in the United States. This book is factual, intermixing historical research methods, genealogy, and personal passion with discovery of the southern foundations of the author's family.

"For three years a mysterious potato blight devastated Ireland's clachâans, townlands, and cities. Nearly a million died. Was it the prospect of starvation, the snows of Black '47, or the fear of typhus that made the Bodkins leave? Or was it the dream of America's freedom and opportunity that drove the family from Galway onto an Irish coffin ship known as Cushlamachree? Their destination was Brooklyn. An unimaginable hurdle confronted the seven young Bodkin siblings, only days after docking in New York. Would the "fever" get them, too? But they managed to survive into adulthood as they were led by their two oldest brothers--Dominic and Martin. Dominic--a fledgling surgeon on the Alabama battlefields of Spanish Fort and Fort Blakely--spends thirty-five years delivering and caring for thousands of Brooklyn babies. Martin--a Civil War veteran, and later an ironmonger with his own shop--ultimately is the progenitor of a large family of New York Bodkins. Briarhill to Brooklyn, is a novel, grounded in facts, in which Jack Bodkin tells the story of his Irish Catholic family's 1848 migration from County Galway, Ireland, to Brooklyn, New York, in the era of the Irish Potato Famine." --Amazon.com.

An extraordinary portrait of a brilliant mind on the brink: A new edition of the 1974 memoir by the author of the acclaimed collection Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage. With an introduction by Yiyun Li. ¿For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin¿real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way. Something to be got through first, some unfinished business; time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life could begin. At last it had dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.¿ From the author of the acclaimed collection Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage comes W-3, the account of a brilliant mind on the brink. In 1968, Bette Howland was thirty-one, a single mother of two young sons, struggling to support her family on the part-time salary of a librarian; and laboring day and night at her typewriter to be a writer. One afternoon, while staying at her friend Saul Bellow¿s apartment, she swallowed a bottle of pills. W-3 is both an extraordinary portrait of the community of Ward 3, the psychiatric wing of the Chicago hospital where she was admitted; and record of a defining moment in a writer¿s life. The book itself would be her salvation: she wrote herself out of the grave. First published in 1974, the memoir that launched Bette Howland¿s career is being reissued as part of A Public Space¿s ongoing revival of ¿one of the significant writers of her generation.¿ (Saul Bellow) With a new introduction by Yiyun Li.
