Watts My Line?
This is the story of Lawrie Watts and his amazing technical artworks, illustrations, and cutaway drawings of motorcycles, motorcars, aircraft, and farm machinery. He was drawing amazingly complex machinery with meticulous attention to detail way before the development of CAD. Lawrie is not just an artist; he's a designer too. An example of his designs was the Enfield-powered Dreamliner.
The Scattering of Saints
The Scattering of Saints explores the many ways we are separate - from nature, from self, from each other, and from the transcendent; yet also how we seek to remain as fellow travelers, pilgrims and saints who still kiss family/ destined to arrive someplace holy. Each poem is a numinous thread in a shared fabric of kindness and fun, compassion and humor, and part of an often hilarious world where Richard Brautigan, Gary Snyder, and Wendell Berry won't let the poet sleep, and a world in which the value of the divine plummets to where we . . . cannot trade / a saint for a cup of coffee / nor an angel for a donut. Overall, these are poems of grace, so that it's okay if, like the poet, you wonder at finding yourself . . . last in line / and all the Jesus powers / are gone / Except for the power / to curse fig trees.

Never Come to Peace Again
Prior to the American Revolution, the Ohio River Valley was a cauldron of competing interests: Indian, colonial, and imperial. The conflict known as Pontiac’s Uprising, which lasted from 1763 until 1766, erupted out of this volatile atmosphere. Never Come to Peace Again, the first complete account of Pontiac’s Uprising to appear in nearly fifty years, is a richly detailed account of the causes, conduct, and consequences of events that proved pivotal in American colonial history. When the Seven Years’ War ended in 1760, French forts across the wilderness passed into British possession. Recognizing that they were just exchanging one master for another, Native tribes of the Ohio valley we...
