Book Description
Could she ever share the secret of The Awful Year? There is one story that novelist Josephine Bourdillon shirked from writing. And now she may never have a chance. Trapped in her memories, she lies in a coma. The man who put her there is just as paralyzed. Former soldier Henry Hughes failed to complete the kill. What's more: he never received full payment--funds that would ensure surgery for his son. As detectives investigate disturbing fan letters, a young but not-so-naïve Paige Bourdillon turns to her mother's turbulent past for answers. Could The Awful Year be worse than the one they're living now? Set against the flaming hills of North Carolina and the peaceful shores of the Mediterranean Sea, When I Close My Eyes tells the story of two families struggling with dysfunction and finding that love is stronger than death.

Book Description
I Closed My Eyes is a book where honesty, humor, compassion, sympathy, and empathy are imperative, where words come alive leaving one with the feeling of moral satisfaction, awakening suppressed feelings within the subliminal tunnels of love and truthfulness. The virtuousness of my writing will challenge one's psyche, relating empathetically to the lives of those introduced throughout this poetic ride of emotion. I will expound on the trials and tribulations of distress that most, if not all humanity is dealing with or has dealt with during life. In addition, my poems are to create a stage of play, heighten a climatic impulse, and draw one's soul close to the reality of what he or she is reading. My written language is a form of expression, expressing what one is feeling inside, yet having not the words to express such feelings as love, pain, confusion, confessions and the mere suggestion of being sick and tired of being sick and tired. Therefore, I give personal as well as therapeutic literature to the reader rhythmically with the hope of a new tomorrow, stitching torn esteem, renovating damaged confidence, securing all insecurities and giving pain a shape to better recognize and deal with. Most importantly, I'd like to inform the reader that no one is alone in this massive world of decisions. After reading the poetic literature from my soul one will think I'm writing about him or her directly. I have titled this book I Closed My Eyes because before I knew how to accept the reality of what I was facing, I closed that part of me wishing that it would all have gone away when I opened them. To no avail, my eyes opened and the situation remained. Closing my eyes inspired me to see within and face reality through poetry.

Book Description
Many of the poems included here are short and uplifting, with messages such as “be yourself,” “you are beautiful,” and “this too shall pass.” They combine the appeal of short, shareable poems with inspiration and encouragement. Also included are some of White’s lengthier prose pieces, which address his childhood, his relationship with his father, and past romantic relationships, among other things. Whatever the form, White takes inspiration from the everyday, writing about abstract topics like love, loss, depression, and resilience using concrete, relatable details and scenes. “Never apologize for burning too brightly, or for collapsing into yourself every night. That is how galaxies are made.” – Tyler Kent White

Book Description
"Draw It with Your Eyes Closed: the Art of the Art Assignment, is a unique and wide-ranging anthology featuring essays, drawings, and assignments from over 100 contributors including: John Baldessari, William Pope. L, Mira Schor, Rochelle Feinstein, Bob Nickas, Chris Kraus, Liam Gillick, Amy Sillman, James Benning, and Michelle Grabner. Practical and quixotic in equal parts, the art assignment can resemble a riddle as much as a recipe, and often sounds more like a haiku, or even a joke, than a clear directive. From introductory exercises in perspective drawing to graduate-level experiments in societal transformation, the assignment coalesces ideas about what art is, how it should be taught, and what larger purpose it might, or might not, serve. The book is a written record of an evolving oral tradition. Bringing together hundreds of assignments, anti-assignments, and artworks from both teachers and students from a broad range of institutions, Draw It with Your Eyes Closed serves as an archive and an instigation, a teaching tool and a question mark, a critique and a tribute."--Amazon.
