Stage Left of Broadway This is fast-paced story of two talented New York women, Winnie and Bette. These two have been friends since childhood. The complicated relationship between these strong, self-reliant women begins to crumble as they both head out in opposite directions to pursue their exciting futures. Futures that are as different as their personalities. Winnie, who loves the theatre, knows the importance of bringing great plays to life. Plays that will not only entertain but heal. Through her eyes, what really goes on behind the scenes of this Black Theatre Ensemble is revealed. The constant struggle for funding, handling an exciting, quirky, cast of actors while trying to grow up, only makes Winnie more determined. While Winnie fights to keep her Theatre open, Bette chooses instead to climb the corporate ladder. For a Black woman in the 80s she is forced to use whatever and whoever is necessary for her to reach the next rung. Bettes single focus on being upwardly mobile blinds her at times. She fails to worry about who she hurts in the process. She insists that she knows best and refuses to listen to the people around her. Her life and career take a downward spiral toward an unavoidable nightmare that at the same time forces her to grow up and discover those who really love her. When the lives of these to amazing women collide again, old secrets and a series of misunderstandings test the true nature of their friendship. This cautionary tale of life, love and ambition remind us that sometimes the best things in this life are not at the top of the ladder or in the brightest of lights but are maybe just slightly Stage Left of Broadway.

mahogany takes its name from the dark wood prized for its durability, workability, and elegant look, and from the Diana Ross movie, whose theme song asks if what lies ahead is what you really want. This book is the third in a trilogy, and like the first two books it is steeped in pop music. Each poem here takes its title from a line of a Diana Ross and The Supremes song, as well as songs from Diana Ross' solo career. Short lines flow down the page like postmodern psalms, connecting dailyness to timelessness, merging the historical and the beloved through reverence for family, music, and the life we actually live. mahogany is a lament for the passing of time and unimaginable loss, and at the same time it models the daily search for joy, and the deep shine that can arise from the darkest times.

“SOUL TREASURES” Between bosoms of pleasure, caressing mounds of luscious lure, with nipples erect, sweeter than grapes for sure! To taste this fruit is heaven; pleasing to the eye, taste, touch, smell, And I now breathe heavily! Hair complimenting the reflection of the face of the most high! So beautiful-- golden, dark, light, and all shades of females... Soul treasures. I think you are God’s gift to me. Thank you, Father. And when you made the thighs and the premier of pleasure between, Heaven and earth opens as the soul treasures parts before me! I just know she won’t be mad at me! Not with the stroke I’ll be using. And the aroma after a warm spring shower, excitement builds as I kiss life again and again! So sweet and wet is life’s soul treasures enjoyed by two, a gift from God! That all may partake and be in heaven even if for a moment only! And if I could recreate you, I would change nothing... add or take away! The same furriness that surrounds this succulent fruit, shaped in a drop of life. And God has made no other touch as pleasing... And verily I say unto you Soul treasures is the ultimate expression of creation! How divine, so asterios, so for real, so accessible. I love you, stay warm.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK

Since his professional debut in 1962, Stevie Wonder has recorded sixty-four singles that have made the Billboard top 100, including ten that reached number one. Wonder was one of the first Motown artists to have complete control over the writing, arranging, and recording of his songs, and achieved that stature before he was 20 years old. He has won 17 Grammy awards, was elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989, and earned the Grammy's Lifetime Achievement Award in 1996. Equally important, his work as a producer, arranger, and instrumentalist on other artists' recordings has put him in the highest rank of musical collaborators. This is the first work of criticism on this important documentarian of American life, as well as the introductory volume in The Praeger Singer-Songwriter Collection. Through a combination of biography and critical analysis, James Perone's groundbreaking new book reveals the many ways in which Stevie Wonder's body of work emerged, developed, reflected its time, and influenced myriad other artists. After revealing the social, cultural, and political context of Wonder's work, the book provides detailed analysis of his compositions and recordings, with a focus on both his well-known songs and those known only to his hardcore fans. The volume also contains discussions of cover versions of Wonder's compositions, a discography of his recordings, a song title index, an annotated bibliography, and a general index.
