EARLY GRAVE Glooscap Island, off the coast of Maine … shrouded in fog … ringed by icy gray water. Here the Carlson family comes home to a tortuously intensifying nightmare—first in the guise of a beautiful but calculating woman, then in the shape of a vengeful wraith with glistening bones … coils of black hair … cold, staring eyes … and a horrifying command of this living world. Born in violent death not even the long past could bury … molded by a hatred that feeds on the dark, she will haunt John, Julia, and their daughter Bri, in pursuit of the ultimate retribution. For hers is an unholy call of blood for blood that nothing can stop … except the one terrifying price no main … and, especially, no woman … can ever pay.

We usually think of imagination as a fanciful, whimsical faculty that has little to do with reality and truth. This beautifully written book by the Australian poet John Allison shows how ordinary imagination can be intensified to become an organ of cognition--a path of development to real knowing. Allison shows how poetry--poetic knowing and seeing--can reveal aspects of the world invisible to science. Three lucid chapters describe the path to true imagination, where attention is the key. First we must practice it, then we must become aware of the processes involved in it. Learning to experience "poise," we must come to terms with the shadow--or all that says "No" in us. The combination of attention, equanimity, and assent opens the world in a new way. Allison then examines how poets have actually developed and practiced the kind of "deep seeing" that "image work" involves. For this he draws on William Shakespeare, William Blake, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, John Keats, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Novalis, John Ruskin, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Rainer Maria Rilke, and Octavio Paz. The author concludes with a sequence of his own poems that exemplify the philosophy and practice he has developed.

Nina's graduate program at Moscow University isn't exactly cheap. So when she is offered work translating for Spanish families looking to adopt orphans from the provincial town of Rogozhin, she quickly agrees. Besides the much-needed money it brings, the job is a great opportunity for Nina to use her education to help people in hardship. But soon she finds that nothing is as it seems. By the time Nina realizes that all too often the business of international adoption is not a humanitarian enterprise, she's in too deep. Will she be able to navigate a world of exploitation and political corruption in order to help the children? Or should she return to the much simpler world of academia and leave the orphans behind? Wake in Winter is a captivating story of one woman's choice in the face of a shattering discovery.

The magic and wonder of winter’s first snowfall is perfectly captured in Ezra Jack Keat’s Caldecott Medal-winning picture book. Young readers can enjoy this celebrated classic as a full-sized board book, perfect for read-alouds of all kinds and a great gift for the holiday season. In 1962, a little boy named Peter put on his snowsuit and stepped out of his house and into the hearts of millions of readers. Universal in its appeal, this story beautifully depicts a child's wonder at a new world, and the hope of capturing and keeping that wonder forever. This big, sturdy edition will bring even more young readers to the story of Peter and his adventures in the snow. Ezra Jack Keats was also the creator of such classics as Goggles, A Letter to Amy, Pet Show!, Peter’s Chair, and A Whistle for Willie. (This book is also available in Spanish, as Un dia de nieve.) Praise for The Snowy Day: “Keats made Peter’s world so inviting that it beckons us. Perhaps the busyness of daily life in the 21st century makes us appreciate Peter even more—a kid who has the luxury of a whole day to just be outside, surrounded by snow that’s begging to be enjoyed.” —The Atlantic "Ezra Jack Keats's classic The Snowy Day, winner of the 1963 Caldecott Medal, pays homage to the wonder and pure pleasure a child experiences when the world is blanketed in snow."—Publisher's Weekly

With a blend of Wordsworthian poetry style and contemporary American poetic voice, Ken Allan Dronsfield wonderfully weaves human emotions, mysticism and Nature’s beauty as well as its harshness in his poetry. Zephyr’s Whisper will undoubtedly keep on maintaining the balance of soft soothing waltz and strong challenging winds like effects on the hearts and souls of avid poetry readers of all generations Vatsala Radhakeesoon (Mauritian author/poet) An American Mihai Eminescu, Ken Allan Dronsfield always tugged at my heart. His poems are suggestive, imagistic and lined with subtle emotion. Reading this collection of poems, I did have the feeling that the Zephyr was whispering at me. Roxana Nastase (Romanian/Canadian writer/poet/editor) Whispers from the Zephyr Sugar cane flowing like ocean waves Florida winds blow as egret’s hunt lunch tapestry woven in a wildness of saw grass buzzards perch high on branches of oak dragonflies rest on blades of palmetto unscrupulous clouds build to a zephyr horizontal rains pelt all within the glades saunters by quickly; sun now reappears. Spanish moss drips from Cypress trees curtains of humidity hold a damp grip songbirds fluttering, the gators cruising; in the great Florida swamp; days roll by; a muskrat swims in the calming waters a pinkish haze envelops the twilight sky Great Blue Herons stand at stoic repose; Listen to the whispers from the zephyr.

A PASSION FOR POETRY Why poetry? Why has this ancient craft existed throughout time, continuing even into our fast-paced age of moderncy and technology? Perhaps two reasons: 1) The human condition still demands we ask who we are, what we are and why we are; and 2) space is limited in this form of writing requiring the poet reduce his thoughts into a quick-read format. Puns, pundits, quotes, poetry and prose capsulate 90% of everything the human race believes to be important and true Poets are avatars who define the nature and meaning of our roles. They reduce the fabric of our existence to the simplest ingredients of mind, soul, bones, sinew and desire. It is the forum that speaks to all, reaches all, touches all, teaches all, questions all, answers all.

Kurtiss Branta is the Sand Dragon spy for the king and queen of Iceberg Kingdom, a cold, tundra-like area of land much like the North Pole. The citizens know him as the tough, never-back-down, trust-no-one type of dragon. Which could very well be why he's the royal spy. He's stopped many terrorists, prevented wars, and kept the kingdom running smoothly with no fighting or misbehaving in any violent way. So when he successfully captured a group of three Fire Dragon terrorists, he took them to the law with pride and never gave them any thought of compassion. But little did he know that this year, his heart was going to change more than he ever thought possible. You see, Wintfes, the annual winter festival to celebrate the Coldest of Days, was never his thing. It made no sense to him why the Ice Dragons chose to celebrate the freezing weather, give out presents, spread unconditional love, and decorate a large pine tree full of colorful lights. Why should he care about it when he could just continue his life and scoff it away completely? But after he fights with a young Ice Dragon named Holly, the queen punishes him by assigning him a present giving task. He gives the festival more thought and apologizes to Holly for his outlandish behaviour. But an evil arises as the three terrorists escape. Ramrage, the leader of the group, skillfully causes him to betray the kingdom entirely and almost ruin Wintfes for all of Iceberg Kingdom. Will Kurtiss be able to stop the terrorists, change his heart, and become a gentle present-giver all before Wintfes is over? Or will his new adventure put him through the test, and prove that his kind heart may not exist at all?
