A rock, a river, a street / by Jemison, Steffani,1981-author.(CARDINAL)867387;
"In her experimental debut novella, A Rock, A River, A Street, artist Steffani Jemison moves deftly across narrative genres and styles as she interrogates the boundedness of the self, the possibilities of plurality, and the limits of performance. Titled after Maya Angelou’s poem "On the Pulse of Morning," the book is punctuated by gestural drawings that point to questions of repetition and difference." --

An admirable point : a brief history of the exclamation mark! / by Hazrat, Florence,author.(CARDINAL)866336;
The spiked delights of ! -- A very pathetical point : ! through ages -- The period that blew its top : thinking and feeling ! -- 'so !f!' : literature and the flaming pink scarf -- Oi!!! : perking up with punctuation -- Radiating punctuation : exclamatory politics and the nuclear bomb -- At your fingertips : digital ! -- Quo vadis!"Few punctuation marks elicit quite as much love or hate as the exclamation point. It's bubbly and exuberant, an emotional amplifier whose flamboyantly dramatic gesture lets the reader know: here be feelings! Scott Fitzgerald famously stated exclamation points are like laughing at your own joke; Terry Pratchett had a Discworld character say that multiple !!! are a 'sure sign of a diseased mind'. So what's the deal with ! ? AN ADMIRABLE POINT recuperates the exclamation point from its much-maligned and misunderstood place at the bottom of the punctuation hierarchy. It explores how ! came about in the first place some six hundred years ago, and uncovers the many ways in which ! has left its mark on art, literature, (pop) culture, and just about any sphere of human activity - from Beowulf to spam emails, ee cummings to neuroscience. Whether you think it's over-used, or enthusiastically sprinkle your writing with it, ! is inescapable"--

Escape points : a memoir / by Weldon, Michele,1958-author.(CARDINAL)657854;
"Award-winning journalist Michele Weldon provides a potent antidote to the harried single mom stereotype in this beguiling memoir of raising three sons alone in the face of cancer, an ambitious career, and the shadow of her ex. Untethered from a seemingly idyllic life with a handsome but abusive attorney husband, Weldon relates the challenges and triumphs of the years that followed her divorce as she maneuvers through a complicated life of long daily commutes, radiation treatments, supporting the boys' all-consuming high school wrestling careers, and trying to mitigate their hurt and resentment at an absent father. By turns humorous and heartbreaking, Weldon describes facing her fears and failures honestly, guided by a belief in the power of staying calm, doing one's best, and asking for help. She provides a graceful example of how a single mother, and her children, can succeed when others--neighbors, family, teachers, and in this case an incredible high school wrestling coach--step in to fill the void and she can stay the course with common sense and dutiful love"--Preface -- Part One.

How to change the world in 12 easy steps : inspired by the life lessons of Eva Mozes Kor / by Tierney, Peggy,author.(CARDINAL)795199; Le Tourneau, Marie,illustrator.(CARDINAL)478775;
"How to Change the World in 12 Easy Steps was inspired by Eva Kor, a child survivor of Auschwitz. She always stressed to young audiences that even though a child, they had the power to change the world. Easy, simple gestures from picking up a piece of trash on the sidewalk, tidying a bedroom, accepting someone who is different, along with other gestures of kindness and thoughtfulness can make a big difference. The book could also serve as a starting point for a conversation on prejudice. Marie Letourneau's illustrations capture the warmth at the heart of this book, making it a fun, but life-changing read"--Grades K-1Ages 4 & up
