Written in English but infused with a sense of Spanish rhythms and history, the 'Floating Island' is equally an echo of Whitman, Ginsberg and Walcott. 'The coffee has redeemed itself by now./ I am awake enough to see you walking/ down the street to your apartment/exhausted like a sparrow/after long work in the tenements.'

OK, so life has given you an assignment: You are a teenage girl who has to develop, evolve and mature into a happy and successful woman. There is no turning back now. The wheels of life are in motion. You are on the road to becoming an adult, like it or not! Who can you turn to for advice or direction? Television talk shows mostly address adult situations or extreme situations for teens. Teen magazines promote glamour, fashion, hairstyles and boys as what it's all about. And your friends, although you love them, are going through much of the same stuff that you are. You can share your concerns with them, but you want someone to talk to who's been there. Even if you are fortunate enough to have parents who are attentive and want to be there for you, it is still often difficult to take advice from them. You feel that they still see you as a "kid", or like you used to be, when you feel so different now. So where does all this leave you? What's a girl to do? This book is written especially for you! In the following nine chapters, you will find straight talk and insights on issues that you're facing. I hope you will find the information interesting, thought-provoking and most of all ...helpful!
Editor Geoff Tibballs presents more than 5,000 comebacks, put-downs, snaps, insults, unadmiring quips, and quotes for every occasion. From the most elegant of studied insults to the wickedest of put-downs, from the language of the street to the literary, political, and entertainment worlds, from playground insults to sports, family, and marriage jibes here is every possible barb you could ever need, guaranteed to crack up all those around you. As an outsider, what do you think of the human race? Your mother's so fat, she has her own area code. Are your parents siblings? Anyone who told you to be yourself couldn't have given you worse advice. Is there no beginning to your talents? You'd be out of your depth in a puddle. Don't you need a license to be that ugly? Don't let your mind wander it's too little to be let out alone. Make a mental note oh, I see you're out of paper. I'd like to see things from your point of view but I can't get my head that far up my ass. If I throw a stick, will you leave? I'd love to go out with you but I have to worm my dog.
