Lifeline
Lifeline is an intriguing book of poetry describing the exquisiteness of a world with unbounded and unconfined limitations for success, a word used purposely to provoke pain is a word that can be used to evoke a world of profound possibilities. Although the "line" may at times become a desolate epoch, life is always present and needs to be revived. "Her poems are mature in the style of writing, very descriptive and show deep knowledge of literary methods and language." -Judy Y. Gaskins Teacher "She combines a remarkable "sage-like" wisdom with the staccato acumen of contemporary hip-hop. From cinquain, to haiku, to sonnet to free verse, Ivy's poetry is as rich as it is intricate." -Dr. Kimmika L. H. Williams-Witherspoon, PhD Temple University

Albion's Seed
This fascinating book is the first volume in a projected cultural history of the United States, from the earliest English settlements to our own time. It is a history of American folkways as they have changed through time, and it argues a thesis about the importance for the United States of having been British in its cultural origins. While most people in the United States today have no British ancestors, they have assimilated regional cultures which were created by British colonists, even while preserving ethnic identities at the same time. In this sense, nearly all Americans are "Albion's Seed," no matter what their ethnicity may be. The concluding section of this remarkable book explores the ways that regional cultures have continued to dominate national politics from 1789 to 1988, and still help to shape attitudes toward education, government, gender, and violence, on which differences between American regions are greater than between European nations.
Sprout Lands: Tending the Endless Gift of Trees
Arborist William Bryant Logan recovers the lost tradition that sustained human life and culture for ten millennia. Once, farmers knew how to make a living hedge and fed their flocks on tree-branch hay. Rural people knew how to prune hazel to foster abundance: both of edible nuts, and of straight, strong, flexible rods for bridges, walls, and baskets. Townspeople cut their beeches to make charcoal to fuel ironworks. Shipwrights shaped oaks to make hulls. No place could prosper without its inhabitants knowing how to cut their trees so they would sprout again. Pruning the trees didn’t destroy them. Rather, it created the healthiest, most sustainable and most diverse woodlands that we have ever known. In this journey from the English fens to Spain, Japan, and California, William Bryant Logan rediscovers what was once an everyday ecology. He offers us both practical knowledge about how to live with trees to mutual benefit and hope that humans may again learn what the persistence and generosity of trees can teach.
