How Many Faces Do You Have? is a poem sequence that interrogates intimacy, each poem a face the poet discovers, a reflection revealed in response to inner questioning. In a voice of quiet sonority, these lyrics journey from a high-school gym dance to a moonlit beach polka. They linger over sushi in Montreal and an airline meal at 40,000 feet on a flight. They touch joy and pain and celebrate the vicissitudes of love that goes “into the tangled heartland / where there is no trail,” as a gift of being. A face is such a strange thing. Obsessed with distortion, Modigliani loved elongated faces like Tamara’s at a distance, a flattened oval, two black jewels. He painted with a dagger in his teeth, they say, to see the face within the face — grave, cold-eyed as Nefertiti, Queen of Egypt, whom I’ve always loved for her name alone.

A genius? A scientist? A sociopath? Known to millions as the "Birdman" of Alcatraz, was he the earnest, warm-hearted "bird doctor" and writer of two books, as portrayed by Burt Lancaster in the 1962 film? Or was he a far more flamboyant and diabolical double-murderer, whose event-filled, tragicomic life converted a 12-year conviction into a 54-year death sentence? Meticulously researched, with never-before-published prison reports and Stroud's own writings, with quotes from prisoners, officers, psychologists and avian pathologists, Birdman explodes the myths surrounding Robert Stroud.--From publisher description.

A look into the life of America’s first president and the efforts to recreate what he may have actually looked like at different points of that life. George Washington’s face has been painted, printed, and engraved more than a billion times since his birth in 1732. And yet even in his lifetime, no picture seemed to capture the likeness of the man who is now the most iconic of all our presidents. Worse still, people today often see this founding father as the “old and grumpy” Washington on the dollar bill. In 2005 a team of historians, scientists, and artisans at Mount Vernon set out to change the image of our first president. They studied paintings and sculptures, pored over Washington’s letters to his tailors and noted other people’s comments about his appearance, even closely examined the many sets of dentures that had been created for Washington. Researchers tapped into skills as diverse as 18th-century leatherworking and cutting-edge computer programming to assemble truer likenesses. Their painstaking research and exacting processes helped create three full-body representations of Washington as he was at key moments in his life. And all along the way, the team gained new insight into a man who was anything but “old and grumpy.” Join award-winning author Carla Killough McClafferty as she unveils the statues of the three Georges and rediscovers the man who became the face of a new nation.

My name is William Cantoni, I started writing this book when I was fifty-seven years old while I was doing time for the last time at Four-Mile-High prison in Colorado. I am now seventy-eight years old and have completed my life's story that will take you on a journey throughout my life and how God repeatedly forgives a man like me, time and time again, who made just about every possible mistake in life. A Man of Many Faces is a story about how I became a Pool Hustler, US Army Officer, 5-time felon, with three prison terms robbing three banks, a multimillion-dollar Bookie, Entrepreneur, 4-time Family Man, Drug Dealer and Addict, Traveling Furniture Salesman, and now most importantly a Child of God. My story is about how I became a Born-Again Christian. I am now an Elder in the Family Church International. I give all the thanks and praise to the forgiving powers of the Good Lord Almighty for who I have become. I always thought and used to say that I was one of the Good Lord's favorite toys because He was so often playing with me yet was always protecting me. When I look back on my life, I always shake my head, laugh and feel shame, for the all the stupid things that I did and put myself, friends and loved ones through. I thank God that I survived it all and that he always reeled me back in. I know now that I am finally where he wants me in life, being that my life has now become all about spreading the Good News of His forgiving powers and love for mankind. In my opinion, A Man of Many Faces will appeal to all. From convicts and ex-convicts to criminals who have yet to be caught. Then there are the police, FBI, public defenders, prosecutors, judges, and prison guards. There are also the friends, loved ones and families of those who have gone astray, in addition to the victims of their crimes. There are also those who just like a book full of action with a touch of humor who will be able to live vicariously and learn from the many characters I became in life. A Man of Many Faces will take you on new adventures in every chapter with a multitude of true stories that will jump right out at you and come to life. If you can relate or have been touched in any way from the above mentioned, then you should buy and enjoy this book. If you really love this like I know you will please tell all your friends. Thank you Jesus!
