So you are looking for partial fractions of the form
\frac{x + 1}{(x - 1)(x^2 + x + 1)} = \frac{A}{x - 1} + \frac{Bx + c}{x^2 + x + 1}

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." - The Litany Against Fear, "Dune" by Frank Herbert
