Owning a sense of hiraeth for the town of Austin, Texas is strange. Especially for a poet that is Floridian not a Texan. Writing “Walking on a Movie Set Uninvited” begins as a reprisal. All of the poetry binge written in the city itself is lost. Sans the environs, this poetry was written in hiraeth for a town that was circa 2011 in coffee shops closer to where he calls home.

This work is a microchapbook of poetry. Based loosely off chapbooks of the past, a chapbook is typically a brief sample of work or different works sampled down to about twenty five to thirty pages. A microchapbook is even shorter. This particular one has six poems and stands at about nine pages in length.

The work itself contains some subtle themes of recovery, alienation, rumination, dreams, nightmares, and music that are intended for an mature audience.

But if anything, the poet hopes you retain some appreciation of the city from which this work derives inspiration and a penchant for treating everyone around more kindly.

The Burston Rebellion began in the fields and was led by the people who worked them.

On 1 April 1914, teachers Tom and Annie Higdon were dismissed from their posts in the Norfolk village of Burston, sparking what became known as the longest strike in history. That same day, village children marched with placards reading “We Want Our Teachers Back” and “Justice We Want,” following a banner bearing a single word: “Justice.”

Of the seventy‑two pupils, sixty‑six walked out, launching a boycott of the local authority school that lasted twenty‑five years. As the strike entered its second year, a national fundraising effort financed the construction of a new school. The Burston Strike School still stands today, a testament to working‑class education and the fight against rural injustice.

Sacks’s narrative begins with the upheaval in Judea after Alexander the Great’s dominion dissolved and the Seleucid empire tightened control over the region. He charts how Antiochus IV forbade Jewish religious practice, profaned the Temple, and ignited fierce resistance among the people. Sacks portrays the heroic defiance of Mattathias and his sons as they rallied Jews to flee to the mountains, fight for religious freedom, and ultimately secure a momentous victory against far larger Syrian forces.

After the military triumph, Sacks describes how the Jews cleansed and purified the Temple in Jerusalem, renewing the altar and ancient rites. When they found only a small jar of consecrated oil—just enough to light the menorah for one day—its light endured for eight days, which the community understood as divine favor and miraculous blessing. Sacks explains that this event became the foundation for the annual eight-day festival of Chanukah, marked by candle-lighting, thanksgiving, and joyful celebration.

The authors—who have helped hundreds of companies and individuals change and improve—say spend time and money adjusting the systems in which people operate, rather than targeting people and their performance directly.

The book explores the Pilgrims’ first year in Plymouth by showing how their English roots shaped the 1621 harvest celebration. It follows their struggle through hunger, illness, and uncertainty while highlighting how their familiar food traditions, village customs, and everyday practices traveled with them across the Atlantic. The authors show the feast as a lively expression of survival and cultural memory rather than a solemn religious moment.

It also dives into the ingredients, cooking methods, and shared meals that defined the event. Wild game, grains, vegetables, and simple household techniques come together to reveal how the Pilgrims actually prepared and enjoyed their food. By focusing on the sights, smells, and social rhythms of the gathering, the book connects the first Thanksgiving to the lived experiences of the people who made it possible.

Baring‑Gould examines werewolf lore from classical antiquity to the Norse sagas and medieval Europe, showing how tales of men becoming wolves or wolves becoming men reflect cultural fears, legal repression and psychological phenomena. He documents cases of lycanthropy, cannibalism and grave‑desecration, linking the supernatural to real‑world crimes and delusions, and argues the myth hides a “positive truth” beneath its fantastical veneer.
