Book Description
"A great chapbook drills deep, yielding such vibrant detail that we cannot help but inhabit the world built before us. That's the case of the bracing, strangely beautiful Dead Uncles, which proposes a reality (and sur-reality) of a sprawling, intergenerational family whose bonds are inflected by sexual transgression. One dead uncle casts a spell for killing barn mice; another keeps his hold on local office thanks to votes tallied from the 'Cemetery Precinct.' Material that could seem grim in another poet's hands is set a-glimmer here by formal dexterity, bold humor, bright images, and musicality of phrasing." -Sandra Beasley, Count the Waves

Contents includes mentions of protocols on backing up ones conscious within eternity, meant to be to later accessed within another life, and the transferring of ones soul onto an animal that acts as a temporary vassal.

Book Description
REBELSof IndependenceMr. Powell paints a stunningly vivid picture of racial and religious bigotry and prejudice... "Slavery's Baggage"... which has been handed down from generation to generation of white and black southern children by their families, preachers, teachers, and friends since that first shipload of human cargo arrived on American soil in 1619. Then, using his father's life and the friendship of two young boys -- one black, the other white -- as a backdrop, he tells a simple story about typical Mississippians . . .devoutly religious, hard working, mostly country people, of "good moral fibre"... and how they are throwing off that yoke. He acknowledges some progress in human relations in the last century, but says those "roots of prejudice" are still being passed along by everyday moms and dads -- the very "backbone" of our Country -- to sons and daughters throughout America. Considering our history of racial and religious biases, he asks... "Where will we be in 2035?"

Book Description
The Wind in the Willows needs no introduction - children have enjoyed the exploits of its characters for generations. Few would guess that its author, Kenneth Grahame, was a tortured soul. Marriage to the predatory Elspeth Thomson, when both seemed destined for the single life, was a shared fantasy of invented truth. Out of that union came a catastrophically spoiled son, 'Mouse', for whom that greatest of children's stories was written. It was the child's tragedy that he was sucked into the unreality of his parents' lives and did not survive it, ending his life in suicide. Alison Prince brings her own highly acclaimed expertise as a children's writer to this remarkably perceptive biography of Kenneth Grahame. Drawing on hitherto unpublished material she uncovers layer upon layer of Grahame's personality to reveal the truth behind the myth of this intriguing man, 'the tortured soul of Mr Toad'. 'Alison Prince describes the grim story of Grahame's marriage and fatherhood squarely and sensitively.' Independent 'A meaty, well-constructed biography.' Allan Massie Daily Telegraph
