Metal Heart
by Meredith ShayneScott King swore off rock stardom after his band, King Phoenix, crashed and burned. Now in his forties, Scott lives a quiet life as a music producer and session guitarist. But in a box hidden in his wardrobe lie the relics of the past he left behind--a past filled with drugs, booze, and broken hearts. For sixteen years, Scott has had no contact with his former bandmates, so when he's asked to play at a benefit gig for King Phoenix's old sound man, his world turns upside down. A King Phoenix reunion means a run-in with Scott's ex, Ash Walker--and sixteen years ago, believing Ash wanted to leave the band, Scott OD'd and almost died. Since then, Scott has ruthlessly suppressed his feelings. As a result, he's completely unprepared for the impact of seeing Ash again, or for dealing with his emotions about the band's demise. He definitely didn't expect Ash to want to start up where they left off. Now Scott has to decide between his safe existence and the twenty-year-old love song that could cost him his sobriety--and his heart.

MetalMark
by Ella DrakeRevenge may kill her…but love may kill them all. Prince to a dying planet, Lye the Keeper has made a deal with the devil. For the price of his blood, the Drianti Syndicate offer a seat on their council…and put the end to their decade-long occupation of his planet within his grasp. Working with the Syndicate feels like betraying everything he’s worked for these last ten years, but it pales in comparison to the pain of his monthly mating imperative. The red-haired temptress who lands in his path holds the key to Lye’s freedom–and an end to his pain–but the price is too high. Touching her would defile the royal line that ends with him. The lure to possess her, however, proves irresistible. Privateer Jazzelina Eval will do anything to bring down the Syndicate, anything from robbing spaceships to kidnapping a prince. Anything but settle down and give up the revenge game. Or bed a mark who’s made a deal with her enemy. But once she has Lye in her hands, she can’t let him go…even if the price of keeping him is war.

Method and Imagination in Coleridge's Criticism (RLE: Wordsworth and Coleridge #6)
by J.R. de J. JacksonFirst published in 1969, this book places Coleridge’s literary criticism against the background of his philosophical thinking, examining his theories about criticism and the nature of poetry. Particular attention is paid to the structure of Biographia Literaria, Coleridge’s distinction between Imagination and Fancy, his definitions of the poetic characters of Shakespeare and Wordsworth, his analysis of the mental state of audiences in theatres, and his interpretations of Paradise Lost, Hamlet and Aeschylus’ Prometheus. The emphasis throughout is on how Coleridge thought rather than what he thought and the process rather than the conclusions of his criticism.

Metodología de la dispersión
by Alejandro ChucaChuca dice que inventó algo: la metodología de la dispersión, que "consiste en no especializarse en nada" pero haciéndolo metódicamente. Y cree que todo está relacionado con todo y que en esos vínculos aleatorios aparecen la poesía y estos textos breves, a veces casi ensayos. El amor, las fiestas, vecinos que fuman o llaman a una empresa de gas, los vínculos, los amigos y listas insólitas van brotando con ironía, humor, reflexiones profundas (y livianas) que van con ritmo y velocidad. "A mí no me interesa lo ordinario ni lo extraordinario. No existe esa diferencia. No me interesa ni el 'chau' ni la muerte como tema, sino la relación que hay entre una cosa y la otra. Por eso no existe la poesía sobre lo cotidiano ni sobre los grandes temas, simplemente existe la poesía que sorprende o la que aburre. La metodología de la dispersión sirve para la diversión. Para ir de un lugar a otro esperando, viviendo que esa relación aparezca. Es necesario, para eso, mantenerse en cualquiera."

Meu Soldado
by Kathleen Hope— Aí está o cara de novo, Regan. Olha. Levantei o olhar para ver o cara a quem Shaquanna se referia. Era o mesmo que tinha começado a frequentar a cafeteria onde eu trabalhava como garçonete todo dia. Não dei bola. Provavelmente era novo na cidade ou estava de passagem. Ele entrou arrastando os pés e sentou em uma mesa próxima à janela. Carregava uma mochila verde, que largou no assento ao seu lado. Imaginei que fosse militar, pois sua aparência parecia relacionada às forças armadas. Levei um tempo estudando-o. Seu cabelo castanho médio era grosso e precisava de um corte. Uma sombra escura marcava seu maxilar e, daquela distância, não conseguia distinguir a cor dos seus olhos. — Ele está sentado na sua área, Regan. Como sempre. — Shaquanna sorriu de repente. — Ora, acho que você tem um admirador secreto — disse com um falso sotaque do sul. Ela deu uma olhada mais de perto no homem. — Seu homem misterioso precisa seriamente de um banho, de um corte de cabelo...
