Description: I feel that the time has come in a world that seems to be filled with chaos and busy schedules that we take the time to remember our holiday traditions and, for some, religious meaning for just what it is to celebrate the holidays. More and more we go into malls and shops only to find the same thing we find the rest of the year. Where are the decorations? Where are the lighted trees and beautiful menorrahs we have always seen and cherished? I realized that we really do not need any of those things to help us remain peaceful and joyful through what should be a holy and festive time of year, for the holidays are and will always be in our hearts. They are a part of the loving words that we speak to our God, families, and one another. I wanted to put together a holiday book that would feature writers, artists, and photographers from around the world. In this book, you will join my friends, some of the most talented artists in the world, in their gifts of word to you at this very special time of the year.

Title: A Thousand Doors

Sales Rank: 1,451,999

Description: Poet Matt Pasca explores how personal suffering can be transformed into grace, as if through alchemy, when that grief can be shared with others. Using the Buddhist “Mustard Seed” parable as scaffolding, Pasca’s work pays homage to Kisa Gotami’s quest to save her son by finding a home where, impossibly, no suffering has befallen the inhabitants. Pasca’s poems manuever deftly between the seemingly simple and mundane details of the world around us and the sublime world we often miss in the myopia of our pain. Just as Gotami comes to see her grief reflected in the eyes behind the doors upon which she desperately knocks, we too find our own sorrows and pleasures illumined by the light of Pasca’s unflinching exploration and delicate crafting. In the end, A Thousand Doors testifies to the necessity of sharing our stories with courage and vulnerability, and how doing so can lead us further down the path of joy.

ASIN: 0984568115
Pages: 142
Publisher: Casa de Snapdragon LLC
Date of Publication: 2010-11-25

Description: Lynn Strongin’s book, "That Glorious Child, Flynn," is a cornucopia of stories about children north, south and Irish. The heartbeat is a special needs child, Fynn. In one sense he is one of the new indigo children, exceptionally gifted as well as otherworldly: smaller than other children, a mystical boy born with milk white curls which mysteriously turn black as coal in early childhood. It is also a love story between two women, Fynn's mother, Megan, who is haunted by her strange child, and Erika, born in post world war II Europe. Primarily, this book is an interwoven theme of how Fynn develops in his very specially imagined world. A poignant sub-theme is the friendship and love between the two women, Megan and Erika, expressed in a series of letters written to each other like bursts of star-fire. Open the pages of this book and fall into a tale that shows what happens to alter Fynn's fate and place in the world as he suffers through a violent event in his mother’s life; indeed, a tragedy that alters the course of all their lives forever.
