"The path to parenthood is something that is usually different for everyone. For the Grovey family, it was something that was not always a certainty. 'With Baby' is a small peek into their journey."--

'With Dad' is the story of how a young boy named Gregory connected with his father through dominoes and fishing trips. With every game they played and every trip they took, the father and son duo created many great memories that will be shared for generations.

"When it comes to tales of violence, there's normally the story of the person who allegedly committed the crime and the story of the victim. Perspectives of Violence adds another storyteller; the gun. How do crimes look from the perspective of an object that doesn't care about anyone involved?

The world of poetry can be quite pretentious. Many times, we will read prose from writers who would like us to believe they are not flawed. They talk to us about subjects as if they've mastered them all. Often, it actually seems some poets condescendingly "talk at" their audience instead of "talking to" us. "The Book of Jacob" does not fit that mold. This collection is a journey similar to what many of us have experienced in our lives. Sadness is in an emotionally epic game of tug of war with happiness. Just when we think we've found love, we discover we've found heartache. When we reach points of being ready to give up, a higher power tells us why we shouldn't. We are all perfectly imperfect and accepting that is what "The Book of Jacob" is all about.

We turn our disagreements into grudges against each other almost every day. We spend time, money, and energy seeking some type of revenge against those who have harmed us. We may enjoy brief moments when we get back at people, but in the end, we always find out "Petty Doesn't Pay."
