A SOLIDER, A SENATOR, A SERIOUS SIN
AN EPIC LOUISIANA ELECTION

Long
Shot

Only in a state whose politics are notoriously wild could a United States senator best known for his involvement in a sex scandal still be considered the odds-on favorite for governor. And only in Louisiana could a small-town lawmaker flip that script with the help of private investigators, a rogue sheriff, a purple party bus, a gaggle of trial lawyers, and an ad blitz questioning the front runner’s choice of “prostitutes over patriots.”

Long Shot is the story of Louisiana’s 2015 race for governor — but the story of John Bel Edwards’ improbable victory over David Vitter holds lessons for candidates and voters in all 50 states. It’s an inconceivable and sometimes hysterical odyssey that unfolds against the unique backdrop of Louisiana’s back roads, bayous, barrooms, and ballrooms.

Tyler Bridges and Jeremy Alford, two veteran political reporters in Louisiana, take readers deep into the inner workings of the Edwards and Vitter campaigns. To document this unforgettable ride, they interviewed more than 100 of the people who cut the deals, launched the attacks, and even played both sides. Clancy DuBos, one of the state’s foremost political analysts, brought his tremendous knowledge to bear as he edited the book.

Long Shot is a can’t-put-it-down romp about the unforgiving terrain of Bayou State politics and the people who are trying to tame it. With never-before-published details on the 2015 race as well as Louisiana’s storied past, this is a must-have addition to any serious political bookshelf.

By Tyler Bridges and Jeremy Alford, with a foreword by
James Carville & Mary Matalin

Contraposition Volume III

The official book from
CONTRAPOSITION MAGAZINE

Is a mother someone who raises us? Are they lights on a dark road, shelters from the elements, coded transcriptions of hate and love? Is motherhood a narrative, a metaphor or an image? Perhaps this book suggests that motherhood is all of these things, a human experience that defines and is defined by all of us, so essential is our proximity to "motherness." Perhaps these works of art are part of that experience and parents to our understanding of it. Edited by Ev Malcolm, Nathan Rupp, Chelsea Renhoff and Patrick Fallon; Layout by Gary Dauphin. Cover art “Motherhood-ness” by Diana Toma. Contraposition is a digital and print-based literary magazine. This volume represents a unique selection of poetry, short stories and photography submitted by many talented contributors.

CONTRAPOSITION Volume 2

The Best Literary Journal on the Internet
Now available as Kindle eBook and Softcover Book!

This issue of Contraposition calls our notion of authorship into question. When an idea comes into the world, when we find something beautiful for the first time, we often ask: where is this from? Where can I find more? But this impulse can leave us with a sense of being robbed - when the answer is not quite what we'd hoped - or keep us from searching beyond a source that has pleased us. We'd like to suggest that the relative anonymity of most of this issue's contributors doesn't diminish the value of their work; it gives them a special kind of authority-the kind we give to a child's first words, an openness to a new surprising, beautiful, or humorous connection.

Contraposition is concerned with finding beauty and importance wherever it appears, no matter who it is that may have created it. Poetry and Fiction by various authors.

Edited by Ev Malcolm, Nathan Rupp, Chelsea Rennhoff and Patrick Fallon.

12 Tears of a Slave
Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl
by Harriet Ann Jacobs

12 Tears of a Slave: Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl is a slave narrative that was published in 1861 by Harriet Ann Jacobs, using the pen name "Linda Brent." This book is an in-depth chronological account of Jacobs's life as a slave, and the decisions and choices she made to gain freedom for herself and her children. It addresses the struggles and sexual abuse that young women slaves faced on the plantations, and how these struggles were harsher than what men suffered as slaves. This book is considered sentimental and written to provoke an emotional response and sympathy from the reader toward slavery in general and slave women in particular for their struggles with rape, the pressure to have sex at an early age, the selling of their children, and the treatment of female slaves by their mistresses.
