5-0 out of 5 stars The Greatest.
Sterling A. Brown is one of - if not the - greatest black poet of 20th Century America, and - regardless of race - a giant of the literary landscape of the past 100 years.Ironically, he is also one of the most obscure, as is evidenced by the fact that this is only the second review of a book that has long been listed here on Amazon.

Brown brings color; character; realness.But he cannot be written-off as some southern, black dialect poet.His range is tremendous.He can move seamlessly between dialect-heavy poems like Johnny Thomas or Joe Meek to more traditional, "literary" poetry like the beautiful Rain, or Mill Mountain.

More than anything, his work strikes the reader with a profound sense of time and place.Opening this volume of poetry gives you a vivid glimpse of the America that Brown knew; the America that existed for many black Americans of his day.

4-0 out of 5 stars the book is good
i think the poet writes in showing how the blacks endured through suffering and tragedy. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
Using oral history and the printed word, Sterling A. Brown set out during the Second World War to capture the response of African Americans, primarily living in the South, to America's involvement in the war and how it affected them. These responses, brought together in extended, non-fiction essays of many different types, illustrate the diversity of opinions in the Black South about the war and the war period in America. For nearly sixty years, the excerpts that were never published languished in Brown's manuscript collection at Howard University. Now, for the first time, all of the completed pieces of unpublished writings are combined with the few published sections into the book that Brown envisioned. The legacy Brown left us is not only a superb portrait of the way in which African Americans of the mid-century talked and lived; he also provided a methodology that oral and written historians will find extremely useful. This is clearly a document from another time, as its now outdated title reminds us, but it reveals a world that still informs our sense of ourselves as a nation. In fact, it is an unforgettable history, which Brown has cast in a bright, elucidating new light. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description

Sterling A. Brown’s poetry and aesthetics are central to a proper understanding of African American art and politics of the early twentieth century. This study redefines the relationship between modernism and the New Negro era in light of Brown’s uniquely hybrid poetry and vision of a heterodox, pluralist modernism. Brown, also a folklorist and critic, saw the Harlem Renaissance and modernism as interactive rather than mutually exclusive and perceived the New Negro era as the dawning of African American modernity. Reading Brown’s three collections of poetry in light of their respective historical contexts, Sanders examines the ways in which Brown reconfigured black being and created alternative conceptual space for African Americans amid the prevailing racial discourses of American culture. Brown’s poetics call for revised conceptions of the Harlem Renaissance, black identity, artistic expression, and modernity that recognize the range, depth, and complexity of African American life.

5-0 out of 5 stars The Big Bike Race
This book is about a boy named Ernie who dreams of being a bike racer, but is poor. He gets a secondhand yellow clunker, not a racing bike, but he learns that your determination speeds you up more than your bike.

4-0 out of 5 stars It is a story about a young boy learning to bike race.
The Big Bike Race by Lucy Jane Bledsoe

In The Big Bike Race the main characters are Sonny, Ernest, Melissa and Grandma. His Grandma has raised Ernest and his sister, Melissa since the death of their parents.Ernest wanted a sleek bike for his tenthbirthday. Instead he gets achunky yellow one with streamers and baskets hanging off. Since his familyis poorhe wasn't too sad when he got a bad bike.

He thought if hewon the junior division of the Citywide Cup he would win the new sleekbike. Then he met a professional racer named Sonny. Sonny, his coach,taught Ernest tobe a good bike racer. Sonny said that it's better to havea great body and a bad bike instead of the other way around.

TheCitywide Cup took place in Washington D.C. Ernest was really good but hisbike was too heavy so he finished in thirteenth place. This is amazingbecause he only got about a month to train. Ernest got lucky because he wasfriends with Sonny , who won the race and got the new bike. He gets Sonny'sold bike which is better than his yellow clunker.

I think Ernestwill win his next race because he has a good body and a good bike now.

I liked this book because it shows you don't have to do everything withouthelp.Ernest didn't give up when he lost the bike race. His friendship withSonny taught him how to be a good bike racer and helped him earn a newbike.This book is good because it presents a believable story. So bike ondown to your closest library and get this book!

Product Description
Jan Wahl has retained the rhythmic, sly humor of this tall tale from Maryland told him by an old black man. When Sam Bombel goes out one day to hunt his dinner, he sees flying overhead a great big flock of geese, all singing: La lee loo. Come quilla, come quilla. Bang, bang, bang! Quilla bang. Readers' appetites will be whetted as they watch the farmer's wife pluck and roast the goose that Sam brings home. But just as he is about to stick his knife in that delicious-looking goose, swoosh, in through the window flies the whole flock to rescue the unlucky bird. Readers can sing the refrain to the music provided. Sterling Brown's rich, glossy oil paintings add drama to this brisk retelling of a cautionary tale. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Tailypo: A newfangled tall tale
I am a primary school media specialist and I've been reading this story to my kids for the past 3 years.It is by far their favorite story.Everyday I have kids ask me to read it or can they check it out. Unfortunately our copy was lost and I am buying two so I will have a backup.I think the original is too scary for my younger students and this version is just right.

2-0 out of 5 stars The original was better
As a fan of the Galdone version of 1977, I found this retelling unappealing.It's far too wordy - the sparse text of the 1977 version is better suited to sustaining a spooky mood.The beast is too visible (the imagination makes better monsters).I suppose some people need a happy ending to everything, but I prefer to leave my listeners with an unsettled feeling.Before you purchase this version, seek out the earlier one and make an informed decision. ...

1-0 out of 5 stars Too boring to get through
This book is so boring I couldn't get past the first 40 or so pages. I'm glad I didn't get too into the self-indulgent bragging, that I didn't waste any real time on it. I am a sincere wine enthusiast and was truly interested in learning about winemaking, especially the softer side of it, but I couldn't deal with this book. I rarely give up too but just HAD to put it down. Walk away from this one, folks!!!!!

3-0 out of 5 stars Never the Same
A glass of wine will never be the same for me after reading this book!Iwill be searching for all the delicious flavors and nuances that JoySterling and her family look for while turning their grapes into wine. Herwonderful and detailed descriptions show it is no easy task but takes muchphysical labor, creativity and attention to detail.It involves dealingwith the stress of nature's moods as well as turning out fantastic mealsfor tons of people whether one is feeling like it or not -- all part of thebusiness.And yet the land, lifestyle (and perks!) of living this lifeseem to amply repay Joy Sterling for all the hard work.I loved hertongue-in-cheek style when describing the events of her life:her fatherremarking on her not wanting to go to law school with the comment "Iguess that means you won't be president" orshe and her husband,Forrest, in evening dress, down under the table untying dusty boxes of wineglasses in which to serve their wine at a wine fair! I found this bookdelightful and informative and will read it again.

1-0 out of 5 stars Lives of the Pretentious and Fermented
Whining pretentious "special" child of insufferable ugly american francophiles, (names dropped here), fails utterly at journalism career, but goes home to write book (more names dropped here) supposedly about the life in a vineyard/winery.Between the descriptions of her coolclothes and wonderful parties she finds a little time to run to the chaisto ask her wine maker husband basic questions about wine making, that shethen inserts into her partylogue as if she knows which end of a corkscrewis up.For pure unadulterated masochism try reading this out loud,preferably to someone who loves you and has a black sense of humor.If aneditor has ever seen this book, I would be highly surprised.

4-0 out of 5 stars This book hit home for me.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Perhaps the best thing is that I am from Sonoma County where most of the events take place. The descriptions of the towns, people and the ever present vineyards really struck home. Theobvious joy that the author takes in her life and the wines her familymakes permeates the book. She obviously lives a life different from theaverage person but seems to know it and appreciate all she has. Many localpeople are mentioned but almost always in a positive and entertaining way.The explanation of grape growing and wine crafting made me feel that even anon-wine drinker like myself could learn to appreciate the differencebetween good and bad wines.

1-0 out of 5 stars Ditto Los Angeles
Couldn't agree with Los Angeles more. I rarely give up on a book, but Joy Sterling is so annoyingly self-absorbed (she writes that on her wedding day no one could go out for a decent meal because most of America's great chefs were at her party) that I became too disgusted to continue. Too bad, because the story of growing and bottling wine is an interesting one, and she doesn't tell it poorly. Anyone who finds space in a book about wine to describe her own birthday as being "on the order of an intergalactic holiday," however, is drastically overestimating her audience's interest in the pretentious details of her life. ...
