Wild Man of the Mountain: a Drama in Verse
In a brief span of pages Tony Howarth brings to life the outsider artist Dag, and Molly, the owner of the diner where Dag finds both coffee (with milk, three sugars) but more importantly, understanding. It should come as no surprise that Tony Howarth's debut poetry chapbook takes the form of a "drama in verse," for it draws on his considerable experience in the theater. Or that his attention to fine detail and compact narrative reflect his background as a journalist. His years as an educator show in the lessons here about human nature and the values of empathy and kindness. But with this book he now firmly adds poet to his list of achievements. In a brief span of pages he brings to life the ...
The Griefs That Fate Assigns
An achingly beautiful verse memoir of a painful transatlantic coming-of-age. The title of Tony Howarth's verse memoir derives from a passage in the Odyssey to the effect that we humans inflict greater pain on one another than any divine wrath. The painful memories of his youth recounted here begin with his childhood in Britain during the Blitz, quickly followed by his mother falling for one of the "Yanks in Every Street and Alley", divorcing his father, and dragging him into a new life and new family in America. Along the way she subtracts a year from his age (and several from her own) and, far worse, forces him to adhere to her fabrication that his father had died a wartime hero. These poem...
A Hand to Hold: Three Dramas in Verse
The first full-length collection from poetry/playwright Tony Howarth, three stylistically and thematically diverse dramas linked by the power of basic human decency to change lives. Journalist turned educator turned playwright turned poet Tony Howarth is on a mission to restore the grand tradition of verse drama.

A Handbook for History Teachers
History is not a mere chronicle of facts, but a dialogue between competing interpretations of the past; it should be taught as such. Teaching history in this way makes it both intellectually demanding and more interesting, while at the same time helps students acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to become functioning citizens in a democracy. The opening chapters provide the rationale for the study of history, its epistemological basis, and the logic of the discipline. The bulk of the book deals with practical ways to help students acquire, process, and apply information. In particular, it addresses the specific thinking skills required by the discipline, with many effective techniques for helping students to master them. The implications of this approach for teacher evaluation of student work are also addressed.
