Who knew that the great country of Canada is named for a mistake? How about "bedswerver," the best Elizabethan insult to hurl at a cheating boyfriend? By exploring the delightful back stories of the 250 words in Wordcatcher, readers are lured by language and entangled in etymologies. Author Phil Cousineau takes us on a tour into the obscure territory of word origins with great erudition and endearing curiosity. The English poet W. H. Auden was once asked to teach a poetry class, and when 200 students applied to study with him, he only had room for 20 of them. When asked how he chose his students, he said he picked the ones who actually loved words. So too, with this book — it takes a special wordcatcher to create a treasure chest of remarkable words and their origins, and any word lover will relish the stories that Cousineau has discovered.

I hope anyone that picks up this book is touched and changed by something that was said in the story or the poems. My name is Dr. Pascal Diplomacy; I live in Georgia with my cat David and my dog. I am ordained and set apart by God, I am a writer, and poet, motivational speaker, teacher and I work as a translator. I am the President of the Lord Ministries; I also have an online business. I have been fortunate to travel the world and study many years in France and Germany. My family and close siblings lives all over the United States. I love nature, I am an animal activist and I do not eat any red meat. I enjoy the fishing, singing, the beach, the mountains, far exotic places and food. I want to sing the gospel when I grow-up. I love God and believe in the word of God. Every answer you are searching for is in God's holy belly. People that do not know God or not close to God thinks that all Christians should be happy all the time. We all need balance in our lives, there are times when we are sick or times when everything seems perfect. Imagine life with no trials or suffering. In the book of Ecclesiastes chapter 3 verse: 1-15, it talks about there is a season for everything.

“Perfection in short story form, I am in love with every single word Bolu Babalola has written. So rarely is love expressed this richly, this vividly, or this artfully.” —Candice Carty-Williams, international bestselling author of Queenie A vibrant collection of love stories from a debut author, retelling myths, folktales, and histories from around the world. A high-born Nigerian goddess, who has been beaten down and unappreciated by her gregarious lover, longs to be truly seen. A young businesswoman attempts a great leap in her company, and an even greater one in her love life. A powerful Ghanaian spokeswoman is forced to decide whether she should uphold her family’s politics or be true to her heart.

With an eye towards decolonizing tropes inherent in our favorite tales of love, Babalola has created captivating stories that traverse across perspectives, continents, and genres. Love in Color is a celebration of romance in all its many splendid forms. “Babalola’s writing shines”—New York Times Book Review
