Robinson, a writer and poet, wanted to find a wider audience for the genre by removing it from the constraints of both bound pages and html. Instead, he prints out poems that he has selected for an issue and posts them all around town on electricity poles, vacant buildings, and fence posts. Of course, these chanced-upon poems, fastened as they are with Scotch tape, ultimately get torn down, flutter away, or bleed black in the rain. So, to ensure exposure, Robinson, who also helped launch versions of IsReads in Nashville and Pittsburgh, posts each poem at least 50 times.
Brad Grochowski built AuthorsBookshop. The site hosts a strikingly diverse inventory of some titles. In addition to offering guidance to authors throughout the publishing process, all the way up through touring and publicity, Grochowski hosts the online IndieBookMan Radio Show , which often features a book and the story of how it got published.
His account of the S. President Warfield —refitted as the Exodus to carry food, supplies, and 4, European refugees to Palestine in —contains personal recollections from one of the local businessmen who played a key role in the secret operation, and even a statement from someone who, as a young workman, helped to load the ship.

Baltimore has a strong and historically important Jewish presence, and this book engagingly tells the story of that community. The Price of Freedom carefully examines how urban slavery, long neglected by historians, became an important step in the path from bonded to free labour. Using the leverage of flight, the author shows how skilled slaves wielded considerable power in negotiating the terms of their labour. This meticulous study sheds new light on free and unfree labour during the early national period.
In A New Deal for All? During the later s, the movements of Baltimore merged into new and renewed national organizations, especially the CIO and the NAACP, and built mass regional struggles.
While this collaboration declined after the war, Skotnes shows that the earlier cooperative efforts greatly shaped national freedom campaigns to come—including the civil rights movement. As a border city Baltimore made an ideal arena to push for change during the civil rights movement.

A bunch of people, some dressed like Poe with ravens on their shoulders, plan to dance it out to Thriller right on the circle!

Good times! It has a great aquarium, a wonderful harbor, and, pound for pound, more Old Bay crab cakes than anywhere else on planet Earth. Perhaps city officials are reaching too far in their aim to be a world-class travel destination. Instead of trying to be one of the big boys, Baltimore needs to embrace its role as a B-list city. Just look what that kind of thinking has done for Emilio Estevez.
