The book is a collection of poems dealing with various themes, emotions and mental states, the overarching, unifying idea being duration. Time is the type of concept that can be either solid or malleable giving one the impression that time can be controlled in one way or another. There are lost times, wasted times and good times. Time is the one quantity that we know for sure to be limited, yet we never tire of wishing for more time. It is also the one idea that always reminds us of our finitude. The poems attempt to capture some of these moments.

Side By Side With New Friends There was not much excitement for the side-by-side kids that summer until Mr. McCurdy's Best of All Talent Shows came to town. News about auditions and prize money brought out the best when Harriet sang and not-the-best when Jimmy John and Buster's version of Mama Don't Allow was not allowed. After audition falls and failures, the Talent Show was a smashing hit. No sooner had the town folk settled down, than Bessalina, the littlest Scoggins, stirred everybody into a panic when she sneaked her day-care classmates out on a risky adventure. Older kids got caught up with angry mockingbirds, Tin Lizzies, and fish with teeth. In the end, all the kids gathered around Aunt Clara for a hair-raising Gullah ghost story. Look inside.

"I love it! There is hardly ever any attempt to think about what day to day life would be like in heaven, I can just think of Al Brooks 'Defending Your Life' and 'The Good Place, ' but your story is unique in that it imagines heaven as a sort of normal place where amazing things happen, like having lunch with God and Julius Caesar walks by, or Benjamin Franklin just wants to hang out. "And the only thing that could possibly be better than meeting Franklin is having drinks with him!" Charles McCarvilleNorth Carolina

This collection is a tapestry woven with a hint of metaphor and a glimpse of more than meets the eye, poetry tempered by the consciousness of the muse translating from the heart - Tapati's muse translates with her through her first language with subtlety in observation, reflection and storytelling. This discerning selection of poems is written with a keen range of receptive candor while still reaching deep (Reflection), a passionate sensitivity for love (Light of a Thousand Suns), mystery (Burial of Love), personification and story-telling (The River and the Mountain), a love of nature (April), and tenderness in grief (Trail Walk). Passionate, colorful and compelling, this is an intuitive and fine work, a complexity cloaked with a sensitive harmony that is worthy of a second read, written in the voice of a natural poet - there is indeed more than meets the eye. -Robin Odam

The book is a collection of poems dealing with various themes, emotions and mental states, the overarching, unifying idea being memory. Past memories tend to possess both sad and joyous aspects to them, but in the final analysis, they somehow always turn out to be more positive than not. The poems try to address and highlight some of these recollections and reminiscences.

The book is a meditation on the COVID-19 pandemic experienced by everyone in the world at some level or another. The main idea emphasized in the book is the fact that if one likes it or not, nature always has the last word. The poems try to address and highlight this perilously important and eternal lesson. This may be a hard lesson to accept for some, but nonetheless it should serve as a great reminder to all humanity that going against nature is never a very wise thing to do.

This is the fourth volume of The Karma of Self where the same narrator addresses the issue of Karma as an Aesthetic endeavour. In The Karma of Self the narrator makes the following statement: "There is life before the appearance of the aesthetic and there is life after this realization. Once the realization takes place it cannot be put back in the bottle, as it were. One's relation with the world and with one's Self are completely and forever changed for the better." The present volume is an attempt to explain that initial assessment and a meditation on the results of the inquiry.

Ancient Egyptian Mythology, the evolving of Ancient Black Culture, and so very much more populate the eloquent and heartfelt poetic works that Anthony Morrison shares within the mystically tinged pages of his latest collection of poetry, The 740 Gods and Goddesses of the Ancient and Modern Culture.

This inspiring story will lead you through the many successes and failures faced by the National Guild for Community Arts Education as it seeks to gain its rightful place in the national spotlight. Written in a style that is part-history and part-memoir, this book takes the reader through periods of great stress when the association might well have folded. At the same time, the vision and determination of its leaders were instrumental in keeping the torch lit, resulting in significant achievements.
