An author and educator's innovative approach helps autistic students express themselves through poetry, revealing how language can convey the richness of their inner lives. Adults often struggle to communicate with autistic students, sometimes trying to "fix" them rather than embracing their unique perspectives. This narrative challenges traditional language structures that may hinder these students from sharing their experiences. It suggests that verse may be the most effective medium for those on the spectrum, reflecting their sensory-rich thoughts. The story follows an educator's journey to connect with his students, uncovering profound lessons along the way. Chris Martin, an award-winning poet and educator, works with non-verbal individuals on the spectrum, guiding them in poetry writing. The results have been transformative for both the students and Martin. Through their stunning poems, he learns about humanity's essence. Martin shares the techniques he employs in the classroom while celebrating a group of young autistic thinkers—Mark, Christophe, Zach, and Wallace—whose remarkable verses defy stereotypes. By highlighting their stories, he showcases the diverse spectrum of autism and how perceived "deficits" can become strengths in poetry. This exploration offers fresh insights into disability advocacy and reaffirms our shared humanity, reflecting Martin's commitment to teaching and learning about potential and connec

An explosive oral history of emo's takeover from 1999 to 2008, featuring MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE, FALL OUT BOY, PARAMORE, PANIC! AT THE DISCO, TAKING BACK SUNDAY, JIMMY EAT WORLD, DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL, AND MANY MORE If Meet Me in the Bathroom traced New York City's early 2000's rock scene, Where Are Your Boys Tonight? gives the inside story of the turn-of-the-millennium emo subculture that became bigger than anyone thought possible. There was Pete Wentz, the Fall Out Boy leader who launched a litany of scene-stealing bands and preposterous side-hustles, and Gerard Way, the wizard behind My Chemical Romance and The Black Parade. Panic! At the Disco and Paramore emerged soon after--a pair of intrepid outsiders who got massive playing by their own rules. As they ascended, MySpace took over the internet and the age of influencers dawned, with emo its choice aesthetic. Music journalist Chris Payne experienced emo's mainstream takeover from sweaty crowds and mosh pits growing up in New Jersey. In Where Are Your Boys Tonight? he offers an authoritative, impassioned, and occasionally absurd account told through interviews with more than 150 people, from the scene's biggest bands, producers, and managers to the teenage fans who helped redefine American music culture.

The only autobiography of „the greatest violinist of his generation“ (Yehudi Menuhin) The road to the pinnacle of violin-playing has not been an easy one for David Garrett. His childhood revolved around discipline and working daily with his father, who fostered his talent and supported him, while also being an ambitious driving force. From the tender age of ten, he was already performing on stage with the world’s greatest orchestras, later playing all the classical works as a teenager, before freeing himself from the shackles of his wunderkind existence in his early twenties and moving to New York to study. It was in that city that he laid the foundations for a new genre of classical music in the form of „crossover“, combining virtuoso violin music with the latest pop, which made him more famous than ever before. David is the perfect embodiment of a young man’s onerous quest to carve out his own path and live authentically, finding his very own solution to this problem by fully committing to something that could just as easily have destroyed him as a person – music. In this autobiography, we witness his world through his own eyes; the dazzling highs, along with the sweat and tears – a dramatic, inspiring and touching book for all fans and music-lovers.
