The Disenfranchised: Stories of Life and Grief When an Ex-Spouse
Dies offers an unprecedented anthology of never-before-published,
first-person life histories by ex-spouses whose grief has endured
as disenfranchised: socially unacknowledged, untold, and
unrecognised. Each story of disenfranchised grief is fiercely
honest and courageously made public. This anthology has no
parallels in current texts, academic literature or mainstream
publications. Contributors present personal histories, revealing
that the dimensions of disenfranchised grief are as individual as
the writers who have endured this neglected aspect of grief and
bereavement. In many narratives, the healing power of their
creative processes through art and poetry is further revealed. The
anthology is compiled and edited by Peggy Sapphire, MS (Guidance
and Counseling), a writer living in Vermont. Over the span of five
years, through phone conversations and written communications, Ms.
Sapphire established trusting relationships with the contributors,
who, though choosing to submit their work, often struggled with
reluctance, even dread, at revisiting previously private events in
their lives and finally committing their stories to paper, and
ultimately to publication. Each narrative is accompanied by a
clinical commentary, written by Shirley Scott, MS, certified
Thanatologist, which provides readers, whether academic,
practitioner, student, or lay, with reflections on the issues and
patterns of disenfranchised grief, as reflected by each narrative.
Included in each commentary are bibliographic references for
further and advanced study. The contributors represent an
extraordinary range of professional achievements and academic
credentials--well-published writers, poets, working artists,
educators, academics, mental health practitioners, and health
professionals.

"Fuck You: A Magazine of the Arts," the editors have figured a way
to rehone its countercultural and frictional stance with style and
aplomb. A unique and provocative anthology of lesbian writing,
guaranteed to soothe the soulful and savage the soulless.

"This June Jordan treasure is a rare piece of fiction from one
of America's most vital poets and political essayists--a tender
story of young love in the face of generational opposition, a
modern-day "Romeo and Juliet" that sings and sways."--Walter
Mosley
"There must be bridges if we are to reach our young. His Own
Where promises to be one."--"New York Times Book Review" (1971)
Nominated for a National Book Award in 1971, "His Own Where" is
the story of Buddy, a fifteen-year-old boy whose world is spinning
out of control. He meets Angela, whose angry parents accuse her of
being "wild." When life falls apart for Buddy and his father, and
when Angela is attacked at home, they take action to create their
own way of staying alive in Brooklyn. In the process, the two find
refuge in one another and learn that love is real and necessary.
"His Own Where" was one of "The New York Times"' Most Outstanding
Books and was on the American Library Association's list of Best
Books in 1971.

of Us Did Not Die."

* READ THE NOVEL THAT INSPIRED THE FILM PRECIOUS * This 25th
Anniversary Edition includes a new preface from Tayari Jones, and a
new afterword by the author. This is the story of Precious Jones, a
sixteen year old illiterate black girl who has never been out of
Harlem. She is pregnant by her own father for the second time, and
kicked out of school. Placed in an alternative teaching programme,
she learns to read and write. This is Precious's diary, in which
she honestly records her relationships and her life. 'The Color
Purple for the nineties' Vogue 'Sapphire's vibrant, unindulgent
first novel has you cheering the awesome Precious on until the last
page' Mail on Sunday 'Has all the power and vehemence of
rap...brutal in its defence of the vulnerable' Independent 'Part
wishful prayer, part manifesto, mingling poetry and
humour...splendid, turbulent, bracing language...its music takes
you over, its story grips... A voice to remember' Scotland on
Sunday 'Harrowing yet hilarious... packs a powerful punch' Guardian
From the bestselling author of "Push," a story of survival and
awakening--and one young man's remarkable strength
"The Kid" brings us deep into the interior life of Abdul Jones,
son of Sapphire's unforgettable heroine, Precious. Left alone by
his mother's death to navigate in a world where love and hate
sometimes hideously masquerade, forced to confront unspeakable
violence, his history, and the dark corners of his own heart, Abdul
claws his way toward adulthood. In a generational story that moves
with the speed of thought from a Mississippi dirt farm to Harlem in
its heyday, from a troubled Catholic orphanage to downtown artists'
lofts, "The Kid" is a soaring tale of body and spirit, rooted in
the hungers of flesh and of the soul.
