If you notice any site errors or have an idea, we'd love to hear it no matter how small.

Your first time?

We recommend you download one of our test eBooks to make sure you have the right settings on your computer.

For the most part, you'll find the same ebooks at each virtual online ebookstore, just differences in price. Happily, I found Diesel-eBooks to be the exception to the rule. Not only did they have most of the titles I've found at other sites online, they had a nice selection I hadn't seen anywhere else, in particular, the complete collection of original Sherlock Holmes novels all in one compendium, and in Palm eReader format, just how I like.

Poems for America

POEMS FOR AMERICA comprises over a hundred poems that commemorate the American experience in all its diversity, passion, freedom, and beauty. In a personal and affecting introduction, Ciuraru will describe what America has meant to her, a child of Romanian immigrants who came here for a better life, and she will explain the difficult process of selecting poems that present, broadly, a portrait of American life over the last 300 years. Included are poems honoring cities and states around the country, such as New York, Boston, California, and Florida; poems that describe quintessentially American institutions, like baseball and amusement parks; poems about daily life in America, featuring farms, subways, parks, beaches, gas stations, bars, motels, and diners; and poems that describe more shameful chapters in our nation's history, such as slavery and our treatment of Native-Americans. Taken together, these poems--whether voices of celebration or dissent--display the incredible and enduring spirit of America. Among the selected poems are patriotic classics like ""The Battle Hymn of the Republic"" and ""The New Colossus"" ('Give me your tired, your poor?'), as well as works by Emily Dickinson, Elizabeth Bishop, Robert Frost, Phyllis Wheatley, Marianne Moore, Langston Hughes, William Carlos Williams, Herman Melville, Hart Crane, Allen Ginsberg, Rita Dove, and Donald Hall. Arranged chronologically, the poems will trace the history of the American experience from the late 17th century through the present. A timeless volume, perfect for poetry fans and patriots alike, POEMS FOR AMERICA will delight, surprise, challenge, and inspire.
