Review: Sculpting the Heart’s Poetry (1)

Joyce White’s, Sculpting the Heart’s Poetry While Conversing with the Masters, offers first some thoughts regarding Feminist Mythology. Setting the tone is the first poem entitled Women in which all nuances of women are introduced from the kisses and tears, to rivalry, Caffeine, Nicotine and Prozac to an understanding that women have too many dimensions to simply set down on paper. Poet White explains in Bird of God how she goes [...]

Mr.J Social Networking Rant

Now I don’t want to go off on a rant here, but from the Facebook user that updates their status to “I’m typing on Facebook”, to the Twitter user that follows his stalkers so they can cut down on looking into the mirror, to the YouTube user that scheduled a colonoscopy because they needed new footage to upload, privacy has become harder to find than the chub-baby of Jimmie Hoffa, Carmen San-Diego & Waldo while playing hide-n-seek [...]

Echoes Among the Columns

The great god Ra had not yet arisen from his bed beyond the world of man. Neither had the members of the royal household of Egypt who all still slept soundly in the cool air of the palace. No one heard the faint clattering sound of a wooden stylus and a wax tablet dropping to the floor in the vast echoing expanse of the heavily columned hall during the dead of night. But when the new day began and the body of Senenmut the prince’s scribe [...]

Tu (You)

If I had avoided you like a dart bound for my belly and undressing me of any other seed, ah, If I had avoided you. I would be healthy, entire from the thought to the  step. But I wouldn’ t have this thirst for driving you out the love from the den where you bandage it up with days and wean its desire with one only bone. [...]

Wings

I love the sound of feathers bright colors with soft smiles elegant with cloud like laughter the skies to angel hugs in June. By: JoyAnne  O’Donnell [...]

Above the World

She never looked my way, so I
took another orange pill from a tiny jar,
and chewed it like a baby asprin, glanced

toward the porch, waved to mother’s
friend, while I sneaked the bottle back into
my pocket.

Review: The Bookie’s Runner

Tim Roux, author and publisher, reviews The Bookie’s Runner. Brendan Gisby’s The Bookie’s Runner is a perfect 100 pages – perfect and exactly 100 pages (you don’t see that too often). So, it is a novella, and a eulogy, maybe even an apology for Brendan’s not being able to do more to help his father in troubled times, although he clearly did what he could. There is nothing extraordinary about the story of this book – millions, [...]

The Nicholas Green Story

Excerpt from Don’t Just Sit There, Do Something! - Grief’s Wake Up Call by Gabriel Constans. In the fall of ninety-four, Reggie and Maggie Green were on holiday in Italy, driving peacefully through Messina with their children Nicholas and Eleanor (seven and four years old) sleeping soundly in the back seat. Out of the dark night a vehicle creeps alongside. They hear angry shouts and demands to pull over. Terrifying gunshots [...]

Women24 Chats with Author Linda Penhall

Women24 chats to South-African based Irish author Linda Penhall about her book They Never Gave Up, a heart-warming chick-lit with substance read. Q: Tell us a little about your journey into the publishing world. Where did it all start for you? A: As a child, I had no definite writing ambitions but I was an avid reader. Then, as I matured, it seemed like a natural extension for me to write short stories, a simple matter of scribbling [...]

Obamacare or Obama Cares

I quite enjoy watching Squawk on CNBC, while it is a financial programme it’s also highly entertaining, whether it is meant to be or not I can only guess at, but they do have politicians hawking their wares trying to get elected or forced into putting their names forward as a great personal sacrifice. Last week they had an ex Governor, Republican who was frankly embarrassing, he just ranted on about Obama-care. Not one single policy [...]
