Floaters: Poems

Product Information

Wambaugh does not spare in-depth description of the topics he covers The story focuses on the intense rivalry between nations competing for the America Cup and the lengths some will go to win it. Shaffer's sign and vitreous hemorrhage increase the likelihood of a retina tear over a posterior vitreous detachment. As a person who remembers well that America's cup (being a kiwi) it was interesting reading a novel set in San Diego at that time.

Espada bears eloquent witness to confrontations with anti-immigrant bigotry as a tenant lawyer years ago, and today he sings the praises of Central American adolescents kicking soccer balls over a barbed wire fence in an internment camp founded, he says, on that same bigotry. Dawn is another hooker who happens to know Blaze and arranges to leave town before she can be murdered by her pimp. Blaze is a hooker enlisted by Ambrose, the Keeper of the Cup, to engage in a scheme to thwart the New Zealanders likely win of the America Cup.We meet hookers who are down on their luck, cops who care, but don't want anyone to know and then there is the Keeper of the Cup--an eccentric older man who has little purpose in life except to keep that cup.

Auld mug' is the oldest sporting trophy in the world, and since its creation by London's Garrards silversmiths in 1848, has been awarded to the winner of the agreed upon sailing matches. Visualization of the PVD at the slit lamp with a 90-diopter lens can be done by identifying a gray-black strand floating in the vitreous. If Martín Espada’s name weren’t on the book, I would still recognize the poems as his, the stories that so exactly capture the shaping moments of his life and the lives of others, resonant, particular and yet universal, rendered into a lovely, unique lyricism—with a hard-won maturity. From the winner of the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize come masterfully crafted narratives of protest, grief and love. The bodies of Salvadoran migrant Oscar Alberto Martínez Ramírez and his nearly 2-year-old daughter Valeria lie on the bank of the Rio Grande in Matamoros, Mexico, on June 24, 2019, after they drowned trying to cross the river to Brownsville, Texas.Some novels are interesting when they’re first released because they deal with a contemporary event that’s fresh in the reader’s mind. It is best to be evaluated by an ophthalmologist urgently if vitreous floaters develop to minimize the risk of permanent vision loss. If you don’t remember, don’t know, or don’t care about sailing and the America’s Cup, Floaters will probably be of no interest to you even though it’s a cop novel. But at the end of the day it doesn't impact me all too much, because it seems overwhelming to tackle, and depressing.
