Das lyrisch anmutende Werk «Dichten gegen das Vergessen» berichtet über die Stern- und Schattenstunden von zwölf Dichterinnen aus unterschiedlichen Zeiten und Weltregionen, die sich für ihre künstlerische Berufung gegen zahlreiche Widerstände und Hindernisse durchsetzen mussten. Empathisch und pointiert widmet sich Denise Buser den faszinierenden, teilweise erschütternden Lebensläufen dieser poetischen Meisterinnen und erörtert, weshalb ihr Werk vollkommen zu Unrecht in Vergessenheit geraten ist. Ein aussergewöhnliches, eindrückliches Buch, das zu mehr Weiblichkeit im literarischen Kanon einlädt. Mit Beiträgen über und Gedichten von al-Khansā (7. Jh.), Comtessa Beatriz de Dia (12. Jh.), Vittoria Colonna (1490/92–1547), Sibylla Schwarz (1621–1638), Anna Louisa Karsch (1722–1791), Akiko Yosano (1878–1942), Gabriela Mistral (1889–1957), Gertrud Kolmar (1894–1943), Helene Bossert (1907–1999), Lenore Kandel (1932–2009), Audre Lorde (1934–1992), Alejandra Pizarnik (1936–1972).

At the end of the Second World War, hundreds of thousands of German children were sent to the front lines in the largest mobilisation of underage combatants by any country before or since. Hans Dunker was just one of these children. Identified as gifted aged 9, he left his home in South America in 1937 in pursuit of a 'proper' education in Nazi Germany. Instead, he and his schoolfriends, lacking adequate training, ammunition and rations, were sent to the Eastern Front when the war was already lost in the spring of 1945. Using her father's diary and other documents, Helene Munson traces Hans' journey from a student at Feldafing School to a soldier fighting in Zawada, a village in present-day Czech Republic. What is revealed is an education system so inhumane that until recently, post-war Germany worked hard to keep it a secret. This is Hans' story, but also the story of a whole generation of German children who silently carried the shame of what they suffered into old age.

- 2020 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award Finalists - Ecology and Environment Jesus' command is clear: we are called to feed all of God's children. But is that possible? Twenty-five years ago, 23.3 percent of the world's population lived in hunger. Today, that number has dropped to 12.9 percent—giving rise to the renewed hope that what once seemed unthinkable is now within reach. The challenges are great, but the fight to eliminate malnutrition and hunger is one we can win. The End of Hunger brings together activists, politicians, scientists, pastors, theologians, and artists on this urgent topic. Here is a comprehensive picture of the current situation—the latest facts and figures are presented alongside compelling stories, both from those engaged in the fight against hunger and from the hungry themselves. Here too are clear steps for action by individuals, families, churches, and communities. This book is designed to inform and inspire you to get involved in the gospel work of eradicating global malnutrition and feeding the hungry. It is Jesus' command—and together, with God's help, we can do it. Contributors include - Chef Rick Bayless - David Beasley - The Rev.
