Gaspar establishes his landscape, his straightforward diction, his precise observation, and his loyalty to his roots—qualities that are never abandoned but continue to develop throughout his later work. Taken as a whole, the book can be read as an elegy to a lost world—one peopled with fisherman and laborers and wives and mothers, all adhering, to one degree or another, to an Old-World Catholic way of life. The men fish in the perilous North Atlantic waters. The old ones, the velhos and velhas, still speak in the old tongue and dream of the green hills of their Azorean homeland. That world has largely vanished, but it is not completely lost, for the poet keeps it alive, first in memory and then in art. “First Snow” is about the arrival of another mouth to feed, but it also details daily life in that unnamed fishing town. The mother sifts coal ashes from the parlor stove; the uncle splits kindling on the sidewalk. In other poems we see the family heating the house’s bathwater stovetop in a copper tub, or the young protagonist diving for money thrown by tourists. But in each poem, no matter how everyday life is rendered, something deeper, something lying behind or beyond the everyday, is sought for: “They reach into their pockets\/and stars fall around you.\/You scoop them from the world\/while the quiet longing\/comes to you, aching deep\/in the lobes of your chest.” Longing, observing, wondering, marveling—The Holyoke explores the small raptures and terrors, the jubilations and laments, of a life both profoundly sensed and gracefully examined.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan\u003ePublished by the Center for Portuguese Studies and Culture at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tagus Press- UMD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":313280461,"sku":"6","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0223\/1425\/products\/holyokescan.jpg?v=1656436575"},{"product_id":"the-ashley-book-of-knots","title":"The Ashley Book of Knots","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy Clifford W.

Its wealth was derived from a single source – whale oil, the “fossil fuel” of the early Industrial Revolution, providing light and lubrication to the burgeoning economy of young America. The New Bedford whaling fleet was the most numerous, adventurous, and far-ranging in the world, setting off on voyages that often lasted for three or four years and extended as far as the Antarctic and Siberia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the whalemen were not engaged in hunting whales or routine maintenance, some of their time was spent carving materials harvested from the whales themselves: the teeth and bones of sperm whales, baleen from right and bowhead whales, and walrus tusks acquired by barter from Native people in the Arctic. The resulting practical and decorative objects, often intricately carved and carefully crafted, would provide mementos and treasured souvenirs for loved ones back home, at voyage end. The range of the work is extraordinary – not simply the decorated sperm whale teeth that the word “scrimshaw” ordinarily brings to mind, but also crimpers and canes, umbrellas and swifts. Anything that could be made of ivory and bone was considered fair game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe collection at the New Bedford Whaling Museum is the largest, most varied, and most representative in the world. And in this book, with the subject’s leading expert, curator Stuart M. Frank as your guide, you will be introduced to every possible permutation of these whalemen’s fancies. The 700 detailed and dramatic photographs are stunning, the captions revealing, and the stories behind the objects themselves compelling.

On one side were the island’s black community and their abolitionist allies joined by renowned anti-slavery advocates Frederick Douglass, William Lloyd Garrison, and Stephen S. Foster. On the other side were prominent town citizens who wanted no part of integration. In 1978, a teacher from Nantucket was permitted to search the state archives for documents on the subject. In a box of uncatalogued papers, she found petitions sent in 1845 from Nantucket to the state’s General Court describing the injustices suffered by students confined to the island’s African School and pleading for legislation to make it possible for them to attend Nantucket’s other public schools. The petitions say it all, especially one signed by a young woman who at that point had been waiting years for the opportunity to enter high school. From the petitions, town records, court records, newspapers, and letters, Barbara White has reconstructed the story of how perseverance on the part of islanders―men and women, black and white together―overcame cruel racial prejudice. Throughout our country’s history, the very same battle has been fought and won again and again.
