Book Synopsis May Day by : Gretchen Marquette
Download or read book May Day written by Gretchen Marquette. This book was released on 2016-05-03. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You arrive at my altar with no idea what it means to worship--to adore. You haven't even learned it: ecstasy and suffering make the same face. --from "The Offering" May Day is both a distress call and a celebration of the arrival of spring. In this rich and unusually assured first collection, the poet Gretchen Marquette writes of the losses of a brother gone off to war in Afghanistan and Iraq, and a great love--losses that have left the world charged with absence and grief. But there is also the wonder of the natural world: the deer at the edge of the forest, the dog reliably coaxing the poet beyond herself and into the city park where by tradition every May Day is pageantry, a festival of surviving the long winter. "What does it mean to be in love?" one poem asks. "As it turns out, / the second best thing that can happen to you / is a broken heart." May Day introduces readers to a new poet of depth and power.

Book excerpt: How well do you know the story and origin of Labour Day? The 1st of May is widely celebrated as 'Labour Day' or 'International Workers' Day' and is a declared national public holiday in many countries. But in some European countries, the day is marked as a traditional spring holiday; marking the beginning of spring, and not as "Labour Day" or "International Workers' Day". Interestingly, in USA and Canada, the day is marked as 'Labor Day', on a different date; 1st Monday of September each year. This material carefully walks you through the whole story of Labour Day; its origin and players, and clearly paints to you the true pictures of the events that subsequently lead to the global recognition and celebration of 'Labour Day'. And it doesn't End there! It beautifully explain the difference between Labour/Labor Day and May 1 (May 1 is also referred to as May Day, and is marked in several European countries as the beginning of spring). As you continue to turn the pages, you will learn the invaluable story of the International Labour Organization, and its unrelenting effort towards promoting the agenda for decent work for all through: promotion of jobs, guaranteeing rights at work (recognition and respect for the rights of all workers), extending social protection, and promoting social dialogue between employers and workers. This book on Labour Day / Labor Day is invaluably ideal for adults and kids. Towards it end, you have a chance to tackle a trivia focusing on Labour Day related questions. This book is a must own for every home.
