Book Description
Somewhere in between black and white, there is gray. Not all good or all bad. Not one extreme or the other. Just life. The poems contained herein deal with the in-betweens of life. Not the absolutes but the grays. The smaller moments. These are the quiet dreams and visions that don’t explode in bright colors but exist in the less defined corridors of the mind and in everyday life.

Book Description
Novanglus, meaning New England, was the name used by John Adams, the quintessential New Englander of his day, in a number of essays. This collection of poetry is inspired by the authors own experiences growing up in New England. New England is known for its four distinctive seasons, and the poems herein move through each season. On a deeper level, each season reflects relationships: from the beginnings of love in summer, through the stresses of fall and loss of winter, into new beginnings and growth in the spring.

Book Description
We've all heard the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas," and we've all seen the traditional Christmas creche. Now, author Sam Beeson and photographers Nina and Terral Cochran combine these two classic Christmas icons to create A Rare Nativity. Upon reading the first lines of the book, it's clear the narrator holds a bitter grudge as he sends his enemy crude and discarded gifts: On the first night of Christmas I gave my enemy a briar from a tanglewood tree. On the second night of Christmas I gave my enemy two rotten eggs. Night after night the "gifts" pile up--shards of glass, rusty nails, gnarled twigs, and more. What the narrator's enemy decides to do with each of these odious gifts is nothing less than a Christmas miracle. The photographic creation of the rare nativity at the end of the book is both a work of art and a wonder to behold. Forgiveness is something we all need to give and receive, and A Rare Nativity opens our eyes to the act of forgiveness and the true meaning of Christmas. It's a universal message to be shared with readers of all ages. Christmas is a season for giving. Make it a forgiving season.
