Café Notes is a carefully curated collection in which tone and theme, two key elements and foundations of any focused and solid work of art, synchronize to offer readers an elixir from the first to the last page. The poems are characterized, enhanced and woven together by strings of symbols and metaphors around tea, coffee, cups, heat, fire, the kitchen etc. The language of poetry greets the reader instantly and gets one thinking and savoring because of its metaphorical depth and dynamism. In some instance tea/coffee consumption takes a metonymic dimension. It becomes a mirror through which one looks into self and one’s environment. It becomes more than a drink, a means and source of entertainment and a pastime, but a piece of theatre where life and its dimensions and dynamics are on stage; like likening Iced Tea with a bride, then everyone and finally heroes. Another time, through creative mischievousness lemonade takes a swipe at tea. Through a variety of messages around Café settings, the poet successfully enables the reader to walk and explore relatable issues and images with the narrator. The poet proposes the essence of coffee and later ends by saying it cannot be explained because everyone has their scripts. In the ending analysis tea comes into conflict with poetry, is adjudged guilty, but then saved by poetry through a sweetened piece of poetic paper bearing milk and honey.

New York Times bestselling author Carolyn Brown's contemporary romance is a delightfully fresh take on modern love. Cathy Andrews has a choice: marry Mr. Safe-But-Boring, or take a chance on finding herself. Cathy Andrews wants it all: a husband, a baby, and a little house in her charming small town of Cadillac, Texas. With all that she's gone through in her past, she's earned her happily ever after and is more than ready to put down some long-term roots. The trouble is, she's no longer sure the reliable man she agreed to marry is the right guy. Sure, he's got great teeth and hair, but he's also got dreams of being a politician—and Cathy doesn't know if she's ready to be just arm candy to a man who doesn't stir her blood. It'll take the help of her twin sister to set her back on a path to being the woman she always knew she could be. Marty Andrews has got a thing or two to say about Cathy's duller-than-a-doorknob fiancé. She thinks Cathy's meant for great things, not settling for second-best. Marty's determined to see her sister find a truly happy life, so she gathers up their squad of sisters-by-choice to help Cathy learn to let go of what she thinks is right...and become the woman she was meant to be. Get ready to start a ruckus: What could be better than twin sister shenanigans, best friends who have your back no matter what, and a whole lot of small town Texas love?

Subterranean nightspots in 1950s New York and San Francisco were social, cultural, and political hothouses for left-wing bohemians. The art and antics of rebellious figures in 1950s American nightlife—from the Beat Generation to eccentric jazz musicians and comedians—have long fascinated fans and scholars alike. In The Rebel Café, Stephen R. Duncan flips the frame, focusing on the New York and San Francisco bars, nightclubs, and coffeehouses from which these cultural icons emerged. Duncan shows that the sexy, smoky sites of bohemian Greenwich Village and North Beach offered not just entertainment but doorways to a new sociopolitical consciousness. This book is a collective biography of the places that harbored beatniks, blabbermouths, hipsters, playboys, and partisans who altered the shape of postwar liberal politics and culture. Throughout this period, Duncan argues, nightspots were crucial—albeit informal—institutions of the American democratic public sphere. Amid the Red Scare’s repressive politics, the urban underground of New York and San Francisco acted as both a fallout shelter for left-wingers and a laboratory for social experimentation. Touching on literary figures from Norman Mailer and Amiri Baraka to Susan Sontag as well as performers ranging from Dave Brubeck to Maya Angelou to Lenny Bruce, The Rebel Café profiles hot spots such as the Village Vanguard, the hungry i, the Black Cat Cafe, and the White Horse Tavern. Ultimately, the book provides a deeper view of 1950s America, not simply as the black-and-white precursor to the Technicolor flamboyance of the sixties but as a rich period of artistic expression and identity formation that blended cultural production and politics.
