Beowulf: For Fireside and Schoolroom<\/b><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/a><\/u><\/p>\n

A new translation by Donald Mace Williams<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This new translation of the oldest narrative poem in English\u2014the first in more than twenty years\u2014is designed for easy, pleasant reading. It cuts the scholarly touches to a minimum, using simple margin notes to explain some words or phrases. With students, young readers, and Beowulf<\/em> fans in mind, Donald Mace Williams has approached his translation as both a published writer of modern metrical poems and a scholar in the verse structure of Beowulf<\/em>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Free to Learn<\/em> tells the story of the Lopezes, one of four Mexican American families whose undocumented children were barred from school in Tyler (TX) ISD in 1977. The families sued the school district and bravely appeared in Tyler’s federal district court before Judge William Wayne Justice. Their law suit ultimately reached the Supreme Court, which, in a narrow decision in Plyler<\/em> v. Doe<\/em>, ruled that every school in America has to admit undocumented kids. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Written for children ages four to eight, Free to Learn<\/em> relates the events from the perspective of nine-year-old Alfredo, a plaintiff in the case. Scenes and conversations are created, based on actual people\u2019s real actions, making the book historical fiction. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Texas, Being: A State of Poems<\/a><\/em><\/u><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Edited by Jenny Browne<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Texas, Being: A State of Poems<\/em> collects more than forty-five poems from a beautiful and brutal state. Some are about the music of their languages. Some speak to the dead, some to the sun, and others to omissions of history. One concerns a hedgehog cactus, and another a roller rink. From \u201cHappy, Texas\u201d to \u201cPalestine, TX,\u201d from seashores to skeletons to Selena, all are in one way or another about Texas, but good poems are always about more than one thing.<\/p>\n

Selected by Jenny Browne, 2017 poet laureate of Texas, these poems draw a picture of one of America\u2019s vastly sublime yet most audaciously independent corners. In these diverse voices, the state is a lovely and painful contradiction of space and meaning. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
