The Waiting Room
The Waiting Room poems stem from the author's experiences with old age and include its trials, such as illness, others' views of the aged, be they friends or family, the loss of someone who matters, and the occasional perks of aging.
Ladies of the Lounges
"Ladies of the Lounges is set in the early 1970s, a time when there indeed was a department store named Holmes in New Orleans which observed the amenities of serving coffee to its early customers. It is the story of one day in the lives of six elderly women whose paths cross simply because all of them happen to be the aficionados of this particular store. Two of them are immigrants, the rest native Southerners, New Orleanians. In the course of that one day their lives change dramatically in ways none of them could have foreseen."
Visions of War
For Americans World War II was "a good war," a war that was worth fighting. Even as the conflict was underway, a myriad of both fictional and nonfictional books began to appear examining one or another of the raging battles. These essays examine some of the best literature and popular culture of World War II. Many of the studies focus on women, several are about children, and all concern themselves with the ways that the war changed lives. While many of the contributors concern themselves with the United States, there are essays about Great Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Poland, Russia, and Japan.
The Best in Children's Books

This volume carries on the tradition established by Zena Sutherland's two earlier collections covering the periods from 1966 to 1972 and 1973 to 1978. Her 1973 edition of The Best in Children's Books was cited by the American School Board Journal as one of the outstanding books of the year in education.
