New
Book by Karen McKinnon |
|
A memoir in journal entries, letters, and poems. It begins with a “chance” encounter between the author, a poet, as a young woman returning from a year in Europe and a sympathetic “soul-brother,” Pastor Ian MacKenzie. The pastor raises the question, “What is writing for?” that sticks with the poet from then on. When the two meet again in Scotland after 40 years, they renew friendship and exchange letters. As the original encounter spirals into a memoir spanning two lifetimes, it touches not only on writing, but also on intuitions, present and past lives, yoga, tarot cards, and other realms of the Spirit that map the soul of the poet and the minister. McKinnon’s precise, unpretentious prose speaks directly from the heart. Supplemented with a rich selection of McKinnon’s poetry, as well as MacKenzie’s imaginative correspondence, Set in Motion reveals not only what writing is for, but also the purpose of reading. |

Harvena Richter; ISBN 0-9714343-7-9
(Author's
Bio) A
somewhat fictionalized account of a trip taken by the author in 1956. They were two poet/journalists off on a writing junket. The route their Vespa scooter followed to Teheran took them from Genoa to Venice, across to Trieste, into Yugoslavia, down through Greece and into Turkey, and over the pass where Xenophon came storming in the other direction. Through deserts, by Mt. Ararat, by bones of cattle and dead trucks, by the walking skeleton of a bearded artist going home from India. Through Maku, Khoi, and Tabriz, the old capital of Persia. It would be the most dangerous journey of their lives. |

Price: $12.00 A collection of poems filled with delicate encoding that is a pleasure to puzzle out. They play upon the idea that one can fashion the self. Written in short lines, quatrains piled high upon each other, their appearance on the page resembles a tall, thin fashion model in high heels. Beyond the playfulness, they are meditations that are rich in intuitive insights. The author "affirms pleasure and God to be one and also the source of all poetics." The book includes a glossary that is a pleasure to read and can make the puzzles easier to solve. |

Price: $12.00 Twenty little tales about flowers—a flower arrangement, a book of poesy. Sapphire Pleiades says, "Think of this book as a bouquet of expression about feminine lives and their psychological experiences". |
