It was put on my heart to read the books of Isiah and Jeremiah in the Bible during the pandemic and shutdown periods we all suffered during the past two years. I learned how many times through the ages and generations over the past 3000 years people have gone through times and troubles such as these. Pondering what God was telling me through his words at night time, these poetic words would come to me. Mary Leigh studied playing the piano, thinking of teaching this in public schools. She played for all three of her high school choirs, graduating with scholarships to college. While in high school, she joined the Youth Group where she met her husband and she took a job as a typist for a large corporation. Four years later, her husband was transferred to Wash., D.C. where her life changed again. His love of racing led to publishing a 20-page weekly newspaper that covered every division of racing in 5 different states. Mary typed all results, articles, and stories on a digital typesetter, designed advertisements, and photo captions, and got the layout sheets ready for the printer. Then she served on a Christian Elementary School board for 17 years where one of her children and 5 grandchildren attended. Mary felt the Lord working through His word and has written 2 novels showing God's way of working out difficulties and this new book of poems hoping it will help others with any difficulties and problems that they too may face.

14-årige Stine dør under tragiske omstændigheder og efterlader et tomrum i sin familie. Et rungende minde, som erstatter den virkelighed, der også var Stine. På godt og ondt. En virkelighed, som kun eksisterer i spredte fragmenter hos dem, der er ladt tilbage. Stine efterlader også 14 sonetter. Skrevet til hende af en ukendt. Fragmenterne fletter sig om sonetterne, og tilsammen tegner de et billede af Stine. Eller flere billeder. For sådan er det for os mennesker. Små brikker af sandhed og usandhed danner det aftryk, vi sætter her på jorden. Alle, der har mødt os, kender os, men ingen kender os rigtigt. Fragmenterne fortælles af Stines mor og lillesøster og handler om livet før og efter Stine, men måske mest af alt om de svære følelser, der opstår, når en mor elsker sit ene barn mere end de andre.

My poetry book, Nightmares And Daydreams, is a collection of poems that bring back the classic feel of poetry through rhyme and rhythm. The book is laid out in two chapters or sections, Nightmares being the first section and Daydreams being the second. The book begins with poems about the difficulties in life such as heartbreak, loss, living with mental health disorders, and trauma. Each poem is very personal to my own experiences in life, yet relatable to many readers who have gone through many similar situations in their own lives. The second half of the book, titled Daydreams, is a collection of poems about life's greatest moments and all of the things in life to be grateful for. The goal in writing this book was to share my personal experiences in life through relatable poetry, in a way that brings the reader hope in the end. No matter how many nightmares they've experienced in life, there's always something to look forward to, and so much to be grateful for.

Winner, 2022 Blue Light Book Award In this richly diverse mélange of human lives, many actual and many imagined, Stewart Florsheim embraces the light and the dark much as his beloved Rembrandt employed chiaroscuro to reveal the complexity of a single individual, and thus, all individuals. Florsheim's vision is encompassing, with room enough for the emotional convolutions of family, Holocaust survivors, spiritual seekers, intimate partners, world travelers, artists, and even total strangers. Taking his cue from Aristotle, and perhaps from the painters he admires, he approaches life from theparticular. Pulsing through the array of details is the tempered passion of someone who considers desire as "the trembling to be whole."- Thomas Centolella, author of Almost Human Here, as in his previous collections, Stewart Florsheim combines closely observed detail with moments of transcendence-sometimes metaphorical, other times supernatural-that conjure the lost world of European Jewry, the intimate sphere of his family life, and the lines of blood and spirit that connect the two. He steps into famous paintings as if through a looking glass and renders public events with evocative brushwork. Having read his poetry for more than thirty years, I am impressed by how consistent his body of work is and grateful for the rich worldview it provides.- Scott Norton, author of Developmental Editing: A Guide for Freelancers, Authors, and Publishers, Second Edition (forthcoming 2023) In his third full-length poetry collection from Blue Light Press, Stewart Florsheim wrestles with the possibilities and contradictions of what it means today to be a man. The child of a Holocaust survivor, he lends his poetic voice to the lost and dispossessed, "amusing the angels," perhaps, by evoking his forebears, with insight and tenderness, in all their flawedhumanity. Many of these poems can be read as prayers, as when he recalls his adolescent terror at facing the high jump in gym class, "hoping my wings won't get mangled/as I ascend above the trees/into the incandescent light." Without ignoring any of the familiar impulses orvanities of a husband, father, and successful man of the world, he nonetheless embraces the vulnerability of his anima. Making pesto with his daughter, he confides how much he loves the smell of basil, evoking Italian landscapes he hopes to share with her someday. His ekphrastic poems could be a volume all of their own, filled with the color, light, and stories of the paintings that come under his knowledgeable and imaginative gaze. Everything in daily life, from taking out the trash to sexual desire -"the trembling to be whole" - comes under the poet's lens as he strives to "discover the pleasures of being vigilant."- Barbara Quick, author of The Light on Sifnos and What Disappears
