In Other F Words: Experiments in Floetry, Denn Thome considers why just one F word has become the standard of what the family of F words means. Latin and other ancient languages did not die out because of misuse. They faltered when they could no longer explain the world emerging about them. Yet they laid a language foundation as their legacy. This collection is the redemption of the family of F words. New words, a new meaning, until the F word 'family' emerges from the fray and is acclaimed for its fervent goal to explain what is to come. Time changes all and the written word is no exception to that rule. Other F Words: Experiments in Floetry introduces a new F word to the family, Floetry. Floetry bends the norm, as the lines of rhyme flow freely, and then looks to the future as the language vibrantly explains what is to come of the myths of tomorrow. In Other F Words, discover that there is great power in other F words as well, as they explore friendship, love, and the world happening around us! FELL Some say trees never dance Do not bear fidelity To earthly melodies. Just wait till the blaring winds feast strong With finality awe Test the fainthearted's Faith with fear Then the trees Who cannot dance the winds Fall.

A zoom call. With Family. The joy and heartache that came with faces on a computer screen when you couldn’t be together in real life. And then hanging up, rolling my eyes, and sighing... ahhh FAMILY. And so, it began. The writing of short reflections about F-words that are in our world. So many words used in so many ways. Across generations the meanings change. Across the miles, the meanings change. Idosyncrasies in the English language and words in other languages that many have never heard. Each word comes with a story, my thoughts about what images and memories are conjured up just by reading or hearing a word. I have learned so much by sharing my thoughts with the G-xers and millennials in my office! We surely see and hear things differently as the years go by! Family, Fun, First, Failure, From, Farmer, Fire, Formidable, Farewell... words that bring emotion into our conversation at a serious level, a funny level, or a mix of both. I hope you’ll enjoy venturing along with me as you learn a bit about my life. And I hope you’ll also take pen or pencil to paper as you think through what these words mean to you.

Flexibility in the claws of injustice doesn't mean we slide free, escaping their pain, but that we mend to rise again. Sophomore Cole Renner knows teamwork inside and out from running cross-country at his multi-ethnic Chicago public school. He knows about braving the elements and not getting passed in the chute. What Cole doesn't know is how much he'll need all of his mental and physical skills when the doors of Cook County Jail slam shut on his father, a community activist; when his English teacher catches Cole tagging the school with the F word and assigns him to write two poems a week, each on a word that starts with F; when his best friend Felipe Ramirez runs for class president against the girl who dumped him; when the school bully prowls the halls looking for Cole and the principal seems more interested in punishing Cole than the bully. As much as Cole wants to win meets, what he wants, even more, is justice—for his father, for himself, for Felipe, and for his fellow students. Cole learns that actions matter, but so do words. He takes his written words (Spanish and English) and turns them into the right words to fight for justice.

Does gender make a difference to the way the judiciary works and should work? Or is gender-blindness a built-in prerequisite of judicial objectivity? If gender does make a difference, how might this be defined? These are the key questions posed in this collection of essays, by some 30 authors from the following countries; Argentina, Cambodia, Canada, England, France, Germany, India, Israel, Italy, Ivory Coast, Japan, Kenya, the Netherlands, the Philippines, South Africa, Switzerland, Syria and the United States. The contributions draw on various theoretical approaches, including gender, feminist and sociological theories. The book's pressing topicality is underlined by the fact that well into the modern era male opposition to women's admission to, and progress within, the judicial profession has been largely based on the argument that their very gender programmes women to show empathy, partiality and gendered prejudice - in short essential qualities running directly counter to the need for judicial objectivity. It took until the last century for women to begin to break down such seemingly insurmountable barriers. And even now, there are a number of countries where even this first step is still waiting to happen. In all of them, there remains a more or less pronounced glass ceiling to women's judicial careers.
