The Øresund bridge: it's Malmö's Bifröst to the Asgard of a greater Copenhagen, that world outside Sweden. But turn any corner and you'll still find old Malmö, the one with precious little history to disturb it. And if its dreams of expansion come about - as suggested by all that modernising - the future could come in the form of a vanishing act. But don't worry. Cross the pond and there's still the Darß. No bridge to Asgard here to lure you out - just the bodden to lure you in. Runge versus Feininger, Apollo versus Dionysus - neo-beat poet, Terry Egan, explores...

Write or do: despite the best efforts of Wolfe, London and the war poets, that's still the case. Kerouac finished the best part of his novel and then abandoned it, going out to hitch a lift. No writer - apart from Mary Wollstonecraft, perhaps - would countenance telling you something they hadn't experienced, at least in some measure. Me, I once leapt from a moving train in order to recover a stolen suitcase: I can recount that only because I lived to tell the tale. But here - in '36 Views of Paris and London' - are a few more experiences...

The Atlantic landscape of Lanzarote - scratch that, of life - captured in 36 dazzling glimpses: and a love story, to boot. Terry Egan channels Matsuo Basho, Katsushika Hokusai, and Jacks Kerouac and Kirby, creating, en route, his own unique method of representation - both verbal and visual. '36 Views of Lanzarote' synthesises art and literature from disparate centuries - including the 20th - and invents, in the process, a whole new movement for the 21st.

Here are some brand new songs of innocence and songs of experience. Both at once, they're innocent because they have only faith in the possibilities of life - yet experienced, because they know that reflected skies will either get drunk or go cold... A further 36 views of London, as seen through the deeps of a coffee cup.

"...and here I will begin to mine." Those were the words of Thoreau, as he chose to remain in his cabin on Walden pond. Yes, but hadn't he also traveled abroad, walking out into the 'nature' of the old poets - and even spent a night in jail? Well, there's a fine pond just across the road from me, full of nature - skies rippled by falling leaves, depths pregnant with reflected clouds, distances infinite with enigmatic promise: isn't it as good a place as any to plumb my own experience?

Heroes On and Off the FieldMark McGwire. Sammy Sosa. Cal Ripken, Jr. Mike Piazza. Ken Griffey, Jr.The share more than fame and fortune and awesome talent. They're also the Good Guys of baseball, terrific role models in a world where that can't be said of a lot of sports heroes.Theirs are just some of the inspiring stories Terry Egan, Stan Friedmann, and Mike Levine tell in The Good Guys of Baseball. Some of the names may not be as familiar as others, but all represent the very best values of sportsmanship, courage, and dedication. And they remind us why baseball will always be America's favorite pastime.
