My name is Ana Baker... and I really am a demon. I also still don't know much more about who I am and I've completely broken my "no men" rule. Like shattered it and toss away all the pieces, because I now have three incredibly sexy, bad boy, demon princes who are all madly in love with me. There's Ramsey, The Lord of Strife, who's all gorgeous bulky muscle and barely-contained chaos, Fen, The Lord of Destruction, a silver-tongued sweetheart with a world-ending wolf inside him, and Grey, The Lord of Conquest, who was my stunning billionaire boss and is now my live-in butler. Yep, you read that right. My billionaire boss is now my live-in butler because he wants to be near me all the time. Life couldn't get much better so, of course, my second daughter returns home and all she wants to do is fight. Then Grey's sister (who's the demon of madness and nightmares) forcibly moves in and things get completely out of hand. Add in a zombie apocalypse... and you have the makings of just another messed up week at the Baker house. Chaos Demons is the second book in the Secrets Gods Keep series, a paranormal romance featuring a sassy heroine who doesn't have a clue who she is and powerful men who know how to share.

In some ways this volume is my collected poems if "collected" poems are a product not of the poet's age and health but of the age of the poems in the book. Among the poems that appear in this book, for instance, "Manassas" is the oldest, written nearly fifty years ago, shortly after I took a teaching job at Northern Virginia Community College in Manassas, a campus adjacent to the Manassas Battlefield Park. "Manassas," won the Four Quarters Poetry Prize from LaSalle University in 1978. I remarked then, formally and informally, on what I have repeated often over the past half century, my belief that poetry has potential to stand for a great many things in our culture, including our evolving understandings of the world. And maybe it does.
The decision to impeach the President of the United States is the most momentous action that the Congress can take. An indictment by the House of Representatives strikes at the heart of the executive branch. A trial by the Senate is a political spectacle that rivets the nation's attention. It is crucial that the public's perception is that a "fair and impartial trial" was held. This is the story of an older high school history teacher, very close to retirement, who dealt with the impeachment of Andrew Johnson in the aftermath of the Civil War, and in more recent times the trial of Donald Trump. He did so in face of withering partisan criticism from those who would censor and dictate what is taught in the classroom. He did so to honor those few courageous members of the Senate who rejected conventional wisdom and voted on the basis of personal conviction heedless of the political costs. In doing so he did not shay away from challenging racial issues that were the backdrop to the impeachment trials.
Poetry is the map for a journey of diversions. From the most mundane to the selectively sublime, these poems cover different inspirations and questions. They are seemingly random, yet all possibly interconnected. There are what-we-should do musings, why-we-know questions, pre-historic and historical meanders, visits to great poetry, celebratory profiles of five wonderful women, unrequited love surmises, glory-of-nature trumpets, and a modern trek through the Inferno (with apologies to Dante) freeing past occupants and finding modern replacements which will please some and offend many others. There is something for the rationalist, the romantic, the scientist, the sceptic, the faithful, the lover, the loved and you the reader however you may call yourself. Pace e salute.

"In her debut collection of poetry, The Time War Takes, U.S. Army veteran of the Iraq War, registered nurse, and mental health advocate Jessi M. Atherton explores themes of memory, resilience, and healing. As a deployed Michigan Army National Guard soldier visiting upon a Baghdad bazaar in 2005, Atherton found what she was looking for, but hadn't known she needed: a crystalline moment of grace. A reminder to be kind and open, to oneself and to others. The small, pink quartz elephant was a surprise, one crafted especially for her by a young street vendor named Mohammad (call me "Mo," he had said). On a journey of healing, the figurine has followed her ever since-through Colorado wildfires, trauma, divorce, and the daily challenges of motherhood. Now a Minnesota-based nursing professional active in veterans and women's mental health, as well as suicide prevention, Atherton shares stories of healing and resilience through the power of poetry"--
Do you ever struggle with the question "Is God real?"If you are like most Christians, we struggle with questions like these at some point in our lives. Is my faith strong enough to see God work in my life? Did God forget about me? Why can I see God working in others around me, but why don't I see God working in my life?Pieces in Place is Matt and Ellen's personal journey, and a testament to God's hand being on every single piece of their lives. During Covid 19, their faith was not only tested but it was also transformed as they watched the miracles in life unfold in front of them, especially in the "faith still moves mountains" moments.It's an encouragement and reminder that although we don't see how God is working in the pieces of our lives, they are all part of His plan to bring them together perfectly. It demonstrates how His plans are always bigger than ours, and how He is at work, even when we can't see it, feel it, or understand it.We can learn to trust God more and increase our faith as we catch glimpses of God at work in Matt and Ellen's story.

In Tell Me About Yourself, an old man looks back on his time in the East Village in the mid-1970s when he drew pictures of people, mostly tenants in his apartment building, and made the eponymous request to them. The resultant twelve drawings matched with the brief responses make up the greater part of this funny and melancholic work. The drawings, rendered in the men's room graffiti style, and a rudimentary version of the responses actually were created about fifty years ago.
