Perfect!
As someone who collects amaryllis bulbs, I was ecstatic when I discovered these cards. They're beautifully photographed. I got surprised with a copy of my book Wrapped in Comfort: Knitted Lace Shawls signed by every single person who worked for my publisher as a congratulations at the time it was released, and the particular amaryllis that is on the back cover of this box of cards was exquisitely perfect in capturing my sense of jaw-on-the-floor delight and surprise.So you know I used that one to write back and tell them all thank you.Perfect.It was exactly what I needed.And the rest of the cards are just as gorgeous.Thank you, Starr Ockenga! ...

Product Description
Paul West is one of our most acclaimed writers, author of such novels as Rat Man of Paris and Lord Byron's Doctor. This time out, he astounds us with a novel on the nature of creative genius and its nexus with sexuality, a novel at turns erotic, lewd, philosophical mythical, and spiritual Author interviews.Amazon.com Review
Readers familiar with the definitive imaginative work onoriginal sin written by the stern, blind 17th-century poet John Milton maybe shocked by Paul West's younger version of the man.In Sportingwith Amaryllis, West describes a youthful Milton bursting atthe seams with sexual curiosity and panting to experience his ownpersonal fall from grace. At turns elegant, vulgar, spiritual, anderotic, this lyrical imagining of Milton's early life presents amesmerizing portrait of the poet as a young man.

Paul West, author of 16 previous novels, writes in language so vividand so precise that the streets of 17th-century London leap off thepage in all their smelly, filthy ambiance. Even the young Milton is acollection of smells, tastes, and textures over which a thick patinaof fevered genius is laid. And Amaryllis herself--prostitute, firstlove, poetic muse--is more than what she seems, a fact that gives thisslim volume an unexpected twist at the end. ... Read more

An "Amaryllis" Not Quite Fully in Bloom
I am a huge fan of The Place in Flowers Where Pollen Rests, Paul West's staggeringly inventive novel of the southwest; but I have to say I was disappointed by this book overall.The idea sounds SO fruitful:imagine John Milton, the man who wrote one of the great religious epics of all time, Paradise Lost, as a lascivious undergrad desperate to lose his virginity.But the premise is more enticing in summary than in execution, and I was even more dismayed to find West treating Amaryllis as a LITERAL muse.West's writing is always a pleasure, but this book, sorry to say, leaves one mostly with the impression of a great opportunity lost. ...

OK, so how would you like to be nearly thirteen, immensely talented, funny and stylish - and stuck in the Flowerdew family? It's not that Amaryllis doesn't love her mum and dad - she even sort of loves her weird, swotty little brother Hugo, in spite of the experiments he performs on her bra - it's just that she'd rather not be seen out in public with them . . .A sparkling, stylish comedy fabulously illustrated by Amaryllis Flowerdew herself. ...

Product Description
European integration confronts us with the limits of currentconstitutional and democratic language. The way out of this impassewill only appear through a refinement of what we consider the EuropeanUnion to be as a political entity and of our concepts of democracy.

In this challenging and thoughtful new book Professor Verhoeven offersa crystal-clear synthesis and analysis of the current state of theEuropean Union as a constitutional project. While she recognizes thecontinuity of this project with social contract theory and the federalideal--and uncovers the specific aspects of democracy andconstitutionalism the EU has already embraced--she shows how theterms and presuppositions of those persistent conceptual frameworksmust be fundamentally revised. At the root of these necessaryrevisions lies the irreversible onset of multiculturalism andglobalisation, twin challenges that force us to reconsider issues ofsovereignty and self-governance. Professor Verhoeven does not neglect the much-debated issues at thecentre of her topic. Her analysis extends to such critiques as theview of the European constitution as a Court-led process of verticalintegration, the meaning of EU citizenship, variability in EUdecision-making procedures, the concept of institutional balance,territorial differences in the application of EU law, the whole areaof delegated rule-making and the relationship between the European andnational legal orders. As a thorough investigation of how democracy and constitutionalism canbe reconceptualised in order to meet the challenge of Europeanintegration, The European Union in Search of a Democratic andConstitutional Theory will greatly reward the attention oflawyers, policymakers, and scholars in the field. ...
