The Heart of it All
The Heart of It All is a tender story hidden in poetry, prose, and pictures. Lori Goff spells out the joys and sorrows of everyday living using the landscape of the natural world as a setting. From "The Changing Shore" (where all is tattered and shattered) to a place where new treasures await discovery, this book travels the path and morning is reborn-from London to Cologne to Appalachia through lyrical language, metaphor, and sensory engagement. The text is highlighted with her personal photographs. The book is divided into ten sections: Lessons of the Sea, Scenic Solitude, On Love, A Fairy Tale, Seasons of Change, Discovery, Remembering, The Heart of It All, Our Best Friends, Wrapping Up Loose Ends. Lori has included personal photographs of water scenes, flowers, mushrooms, an angel, an eagle, and the mountains.
Heart Music
"These are poems inspired by his deep love of music and his celebration of life in all its glories and sorrows. From his experiences as a son, father, husband, citizen and spiritual being, he has woven a collection of powerful poems that sing to the heart and bring us closer to understanding our own lives."--Introduction, page xv.
Clearing the Way
Clearing the Way is a love story between two senior citizens who meet by chance and their lives are enriched by a mutual passion for the creative process. Lyle, a widower and retired building contractor, buys an old home near Anita, a widow who has painted and sculpted for years and turned to writing after the death of her husband. Together they build a rewarding relationship while he is restoring his home. With struggles and growth experiences, their offspring also learn to find new and rewarding purposes to their lives. Anita's son, Joel, convinces his brothers that they were wrong in trying to dissuade him from being a standup comedian. Each of the characters learns to clear the way for a happier life. "Irene Stretten's Clearing the Way is a refreshing look at love after fifty. Stretten has woven a tale of hope and renewal. We believe in the characters as they each find a new joy in life, and we are richer for knowing them."-Margo LaGattuta, poet, essaying, author of Embracing the Fall
Water Earth Fire Air
From Carolyn Walker's Forward to WATER EARTH FIRE AIR: "Ed Van Slambrouck's book of poetry, WATER EARTH FIRE AIR, is one man's wise, sentimental, and sometimes playful meditation on God's love and the experience of His creation. Earnest as a child's devotional, heartfelt as a father's prayer, and occasionally touched with a tongue-in-cheek pun, Van Slambrouck's poetry collection, his fourth in an ambitious series fueled by a prolific writing schedule, explores God's bounty as he lived it in eight decades of life. Using the language of imagery and style (informed by Van Slambrouck's gift for music) the collection takes the reader by the spirit and coaxes him through such diverse experiences a...
I Feel a Little Jumpy Around You
An award-winning anthology of paired poems by men and women. In this insightful anthology, the editors grouped almost 200 poems into pairs to demonstrate the different ways in which male and female poets see the same topics. How women see men, how boys see girls, and how we all see the world—often in very different ways, but surprisingly, wonderfully, sometimes very much the same.
Spirits Walking
In Spirits Walking, Lori Goff's short stories weave family relationships in a special blend of love, faith and the simple life dating back more than seventy-five years. The stories convey the hardships in a rural area, the life lessons learned, and the closeness people felt with nature in the hills and hollows of northeastern Kentucky. Goff shows the special relationship shared between grandmother and grandaughter, using dialect of the time and place. One will remember the wisdom of Starr and innocence of Maggie after reading their stories. Starr finds acceptance of her friend's death in "it's her soul a-packin up and gettin ready to join her Maker" and "God wasn't ready to call you up" to explain the miracle of life; Maggie responds to Clay's gentle voice with "it's like the hills wrap around me." Both women find solace in their parting, knowing "we'll pass, you, me, through the seasons as we do every year."
