Womb Worlds
In "Womb Worlds," Lisa Molina invites the reader into her most intimate world where the darkness of disease collides with the tenderness of a mother's love, as she grapples with the most terrifying corners of motherhood. The speaker in these poems is a mother with a young son going through cancer treatment at ages three, eleven, and thirteen; ultimately requiring an umbilical cord blood transplant from an unknown donor as a final effort to save his life. From her son's initial diagnosis at age three, to his transplant ten years later, she writes both of specific events that occurred in exacting detail, as well as her own interior world of terror, gratitude, and growth as a woman throughout the experience. Never dwelling on what is lost, the poems in this collection focus on the light and learning that can be gained through suffering. These poems, written mostly in a prose/free verse style will make you feel every emotion, as you journey with Molina, her son, and her family throughout years of the roller coaster ride of pediatric cancer treatments. The book includes life-affirming full color abstract drawings and a beautiful watercolor to enhance Molina's words.

Broadway Musicals, 1943-2004
On March 31, 1943, the musical Oklahoma! premiered and the modern era of the Broadway musical was born. Since that time, the theatres of Broadway have staged hundreds of musicals--some more noteworthy than others, but all in their own way a part of American theatre history. With more than 750 entries, this comprehensive reference work provides information on every musical produced on Broadway since Oklahoma's 1943 debut. Each entry begins with a brief synopsis of the show, followed by a three-part history: first, the pre-Broadway story of the show, including out-of-town try-outs and Broadway previews; next, the Broadway run itself, with dates, theatres, and cast and crew, including replacements, chorus and understudies, songs, gossip, and notes on reviews and awards; and finally, post-Broadway information with a detailed list of later notable productions, along with important reviews and awards.
