An enthralling story about fabulous creatures of the ocean, especially sharks that would grab the interest of both boys and girls who love sea creatures. He left his business, raised funds and interest of media and a support group to ride along in a truck with a trailer and then he set out from the Pacific Ocean near Los Angeles and spent five grueling months crossing all the way to the Atlantic Ocean in Maryland. That which proceeds from Me is life; it is strength and equipping; it is hope; it is wisdom; it is counsel; it is peace; it is restoration; it is healing—it is everything you need. How such a brief book was able to achieve so much is remarkable! I'd love to see the author write another book -- replete with the compelling and perfectly chosen photos like those in the first -- that I believe would become a textbook for those seeking to learn about ranching as well as a gift to be given by those who've been ranching for decades or centuries. Though it took place in 1989 before the advent of social media and all of the great platforms we now enjoy Spataro was able to travel across the country allowing people to know what they can do to make changes in their lives that will have lasting effects.For us reading it today THE LONG RIDE allows us to see that when we make decisions to act they are never easy, but they can have benefitsClarence Major is a consummate artist whose work in poetry, fiction, and painting has been widely recognized. Major’s worksand this collection in particularare distinguished by his poetic sociability and his unblinking but generous and affectionate portraiture.In From Now On, a retrospective of poems from the 1950s to the presentincluding selections from each of Major’s previous books of poetry as well as a generous selection of new poemsMajor creates a vivid gallery of nimbly drawn characters. Major’s poetry is affable, but it suggests an insistence that we can connect with history and social change through the dynamic lives of the people we encounter daily.. He has been part of twenty-eight group exhibitions, has had fifteen one-man shows, and has published fourteen collections of poetry and nine works of fiction. Ultimately, this collection maintains Major’s intimate, conversational poetry while simultaneously becoming more eclectic, multicultural, and cosmopolitan. Here he establishes a voice that is singular and musical, one that draws witty, moving, and empathetic portraits of African American urban and country dwellersBut these gleaming word-ladders lead down, to, out of the thin airback to the earth and body, to pain and rapture." Donna Seaman, Booklist"Clarence Major is passionately committed to the aesthetics of language. (Yusef Komunyakaa from the foreword)Major’s sparse, expertly constructed poems are like ladders luring readers away from the heavily trod, shadowy ground up into clear air, an ascent that places all the quick changes of the heart and mind into sharp perspective. Jack Marmer, Chicago Tribune"Major is a highly skilled experimentalist who reveals the dangers of the pretenses of poets whose language gets caught up in nets of their own making." --Douglas Messerli, Hyperallergic.Com (July 5, 2015)"A refreshing beatthe rhythm gives way to building a picture with words. There is a deep connection with the subjectreflective and personalmaturean accomplished poet"--EVILCYCLIST/GOODREADSOver the years, I have come to believe that Clarence Major is one of the most significant American poets of the past two decades. Major knows how to make profundity seem accidental. Here’s a poet we can call a school of one. Bu
