Denise Levertov's New & Selected Essays gathers three decades' worth of the poet's most important critical statements. Her subjects are various poetics, the imagination, politics, spirituality, other writers and her approach independent minded and richly complex. Here in a single volume are recent essays exploring new ground broken by Levertov in the past decade as well as the finest and most useful prose pieces from The Poet in the World (1973) and Light Up the Cave (1981). This is a book to read and reread. With their combination of sensitivity and practicality, the New & Selected Essays will prove enormously helpful to the writer and reader of poetry. As Kirkus Reviews remarked about her prose: "This is humanism in its true sense her attitude as evidenced (not described) by her writing is such that the reader cannot help but experience life, at least temporarily, with more intensity, joy, and imagination."Binding Type: Paperback

Perfect Wind Speeds, Size, Weight, and Price Here on Amazon Prime
Color: Pink
My wife uses this little fan when she experiences one of her occasional hot flashes. And she said it works well for these times. She also uses it when we are at an outdoor market or park when the temperature rises along with the humidity thus providing a little respite from the these conditions.
She likes the size, weight, the included lanyard, and the fact that it is so quite when in use. A full charge seems to last for a two to three hours depending on the selected speed of the fan itself.
There are other more powerful portable handheld fans available, however, this one seems to be the perfect compromise between air speeds, size, weight, and price.

I have 3!
Color: Pink
I love this fan! The high speed will cool you down quickly! It's great for church! ballgames! Beach! Hotflashes!!! It's very quite! You can hold it or put on a table and position it where you want. I have one for work, one at home and one in my purse. The oldest is about 4 years old and works as good as day one.

Here for a good time, not a long time…
Color: Pink
This fan really was great for use at work (fit in my pencil case to bring up to whichever docket I had to cover; quiet enough to run during court; and the light on the end helped me find countless pens and miscellaneous supplies that fell under the dark/closed-in clerk’s desks), however, I had to order a new one after 5 months of daily use because it just stopped turning on (the light would work, but the fan motor must have died out). I made an extra effort not to over-charge it when I got the second one, so when it died again after another ~5 months, I pivoted to trying a different product. Maybe it would work better for someone not using it so often, because aside from longevity, it was a handy little tool.
If they made it with a more durable/quality fan motor, I’d probably re-order again (but I highly doubt that’ll happen haha)

Easy to use. Stays sealed. Stays charged.
Size: 12 Combo Travel Size
I had previously bought packing bags in a store — the kind the you had to seal and then roll/squish the air out of one end of the bag. It really took 2 people to remove most of the air. I took them to Mexico, and they were just OK.
I switched to these vacuum bags before our family ski trip. What a great purchase! This set includes multiple sizes, which worked well for both everyday clothes and bulkier cold-weather gear. They also fit well inside different size suitcases. One tip: Fill the bag, seal it shut, squish some air out, but then suck the final air out with the bag already inside your suitcase. You can "massage" the clothes and guide how the bag flattens out for a really efficient use of your suitcase space. The organization you can achieve is really impressive.
The bag material and valve is tough enough to not allow any air leaks. The red "glides" they provide make sure the seal is solid and easy to achieve. And the system is simple enough that I suspect that elementary kids or people with lower dexterity could operate it (my teens certainly had no issues packing themselves).
After returning home, I folded all the bag along their original fold lines, charged up the "sucky thing" (which still held 75% of it's charge after being used at least 20 times), and tucked it all neatly in our travel drawer, ready for our international trip next month.
Great value. High quality. I'd even go so far as to say they're fun to use.

Travel bags
Size: 12 Combo Travel Size
Perfect packing bags. I’m using them for a trip to Alaska. The pump works easily . I tested them out and the air retention is perfect.? They are not too thick and will not take up space. The material seems like it will hold up without ripping. I will be using them often. They come in different sizes which work perfectly with different items.
