Children empowered by the memories and stories told by those who have gone before can go to miraculous places.

There are worlds occupied with those in the legal field and there are worlds occupied by those who enforce the law. Combine these with the worlds occupied by those who commit crimes great and small and those affected by such crime. The overlaps, which are inevitable, produce changes.

Here is a true story of extreme adventures, love, heartbreak and many supernatural encounters. It speaks of intense inquiry into life-or-death questions and of courage, survival, and miracles in the blood and mud of Vietnam. It tells the story of family-life in a virgin rainforest paradise, of encounters with extraterrestrials in the Colorado mountain skies and of meetings with remarkable men in the high desert of Arizona. From the tropical beaches of Australia to the cornfields of Wisconsin, miraculous and mystical encounters unfold one by one, exposing eye-opening insights for all... A chance encounter with an odd candidate for a babysitter changes everything. It opened the door into what has been called, "beyond the beyond." Gary tells us what it was like to go WAY PAST "the near death experience;" into the cosmic "Ocean of Divine Love, and all the way into... (you'll have to read it to believe it). A tale that does not merely entertain, it is an illuminating probe into some of man's oldest and most meaningful questions.

American Analects uses the Analects of Confucius as an inspiration to mediate upon the life, death, and the subsequent loss of the poet's influential, beloved mentor-the painter Gene Holtan. These poems are juxtaposed with poems about other losses-of parents, of friends and friends of friends. Some of these deaths were caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, others by age and the inescapable journey we all take. Still, this is not a dour book. Many poems celebrate our ability to inspire, to comfort, and to nurture one another, and the collection is leavened with poems about family, about poetry, and about the healing influence of landscape and of nature. In the end, American Analects is about resiliency, about moving on from personal loss, from the pandemic, and from catastrophic fires, to rejoice in what remains. These poems encourage us to acknowledge the fragility of our lives and of those we love, while we celebrate those who guide us, even in memory.

People come and go but no one ever really leaves your life. New beginnings are possible, new starts are available, and sometimes, whether you are aware of it or not, you have turned a corner

It appears that someone has killed a man. It happens that the man is a priest and that the priest was wearing a dress at the time of his death. If the surface appears bumpy it is because there is more going on beneath it. A Mikalewski and Benchley mystery.

Young writes with a unique combination of wisdom and terror, engendering a kind of sad calm, a hard-earned acceptance of life's difficulty and openness to its beauty."- Publishers Weekly"There's glow, wonder, in all his writing, even the poems of terrible pain, where wonder bathes the strangeness of the circumstances themselves, bathes the strength of spirit that allows those circumstances to be survived. . . He's become one of our most piercing, luminous prose poets."- Richard Silberg, Poetry Flash

Young's prose poems are uniquely their own: unflinching, stringent in beauty, austerely moving...
