100 Creative Musings by Various Poets


Book Description

The birth of this book, “100 Creative Musings by Various poets” is a result of various contributions by aspiring poets. Writing Poetry is not like a regular story, novel or literature. It is a genre by itself, using varied poetic devices, conventions to suggest differential interpretations of words, or to evoke emotional responses among its readers. For a poet in their journey, appreciation of the words they write, convey a message about elements in their daily life or a general viewpoint. It is the greatest milestone when our poem is appreciated well. We, poets are on this journey, we can never claim we are well established. Only our followers can credit our good or moderate poems in our writing.

111 Reverie colors of my world


Book Description

This collection of my poems appeared in 2022 at Allpoetry. Having participated in Allpoetry contests hosted by fellow poets, I have developed my skill in writing poetry and love to write at least one poem every week. Some of my poems are about being happy, sad, musings about a better world, lyrical poems, mostly rhymed, and some are humorous, tragic and emotive. 111 poems can be found in my collection, hopefully inspiring more poets to publish their own work. I hope my poetry will strike a chord of happiness, a drop of sadness, acknowledge one love, humanitarian efforts, realistic thinking, question the importance of our planet earth, minimalism, comparing circumstances, fantasy, and appreciation. My motto: Let go of perfectionism and enjoy the journey




My Writing Life


Book Description

Few writers have impacted writing like Ernest Hemingway, and My Writing Life is a personal account of the impact he had upon the author from the day he discovered him in high school. Not only does My Writing Life offer a unique insight into the art of writing, but into the complicated life of Ernest "Papa" Hemingway, and it dares to offer a psycho/literary perspective on Hemingway's complex personality and legendary suicide. A memoir like no other, My Writing Life sates the longing in one's soul that literature cannot satisfy, which Orest Stocco illustrates with the adventurous life and writing of Ernest "Papa" Hemingway.




The Not-So Secret Society


Book Description

Writing team Matthew Daley (Lantern City) and Arlene Daley call on their combined 25 years of education experience to create this thrilling coming-of-age adventure. Co-created by Trevor Crafts (Lantern City) and Ellen Crafts, and illustrated by Wook Jin Clark (Adventure Time: The Flipside), The Not-So Secret Society is an all-ages adventure that celebrates the value of teamwork and lifelong friendships. Madison, Dylan, Emma, Aidan, and Ava have pretty normal lives for a group of 12-year-olds: They go to school, participate in extracurricular activities, and oh yeah, they also have AWESOME ADVENTURES. Together they form The Not-So Secret Society. But when they invent a candy-making machine for their school's annual science fair, things don't go according to plan . . . and their candy creation comes to life and escapes, threatening to destroy the entire city!




Musings, Mutterings, and Aw Shucks


Book Description

On a hotter than Hades evening in southwest Arkansas, a preacher arrives at a crossroad village to convince those gathered that if they follow the word of God, they will not have to experience the real heat of Hades. In a heap of sweaty flesh, Miss Elsie Waylock plops in the middle of a center-row bench, unaware that the bench is dangerously sagging and threatening to crack at any moment. It is what happens next that sends Jimmy Hickok into a fiery hell created by none other than his mother. In Musings, Mutterings, and Aw Shucks, author Elizabeth Carroll Foster shares an entertaining collection of short stories, essays, and features that highlight eclectic characters, embellish true experiences, and eloquently illustrate unconditional love, disappointment, and friendship. Divided into sections that comprise short stories followed by essays, Foster shares a poignant, occasionally witty compilation that allows others to reminisce about holidays gone by, sympathize with middle-aged women unwittingly caught up on the cusp of the Womens Liberation Movement, empathize with young single mothers, and love a golden retriever just as he loves his master. Musings, Mutterings, and Aw Shucks provides an unforgettable glimpse into both imaginary and real-life worlds that share a timeless and fresh perspective on life, love, and the pursuit of happiness.

Some Little Night Musings


Book Description

Critical Praise for Hyatt Carter's previous book Thinking Is the Best Way to Travel Hyatt Carter has now shared stations along the way of his intellectual experiences in his Thinking is the Best Way to Travel: Essays along the Journey. Carter is that rare creature, an independent polymath, the scarcity of which in the epoch of specialization has severely scarred contemporary life. There are dabblers aplenty, but the polymath in full flow is an exciting phenomenon. David Spooner, author of The Metaphysics of Insects and Other Essays Thinking Is the Best Way to Travel was not just any journey, it was the best kind of vacation, a vacation from myself and the usual ways I see and know myself and the world around me. I am intrigued by life-development transitions and how they facilitate new structures of reasoning and the freedom to find new mutualities of self-other knowing. This book is a wonderful way of making that journey without purposefully intending to do any of this. Dr. William Kent Larkin, author of Growing The Positive Mind and Director of The Applied Neuroscience Institute The best thing about the book is that it is enjoyable to read. It proceeds at a measured pace, without tight, convoluted thinking that one has to fight his way through. I like the cadence; it has a nice pace and rhythm. This is an interesting book that gives one the sense of a life spent in thoughtful reading and reflection. W. K. Maples, mathematician, Marshall Space Flight Center Hyatt Carter has a skillful way of making philosophical concepts easy to comprehend. I find myself taking notes while reading, looking up some of cited authors on the Internet, and ordering their books. Ramón Barayón, author of A Planetary Sojourn and A Death in Zamora
