jacob erin-cilberto explores the full range of emotional relationships from "hour glass hearts" to "misfortunate circles" in this collection that reminds us of why we love and the pain and despair that often coexist with the joy of love. The "Demolition" poems which are featured in this collection provide a wonderful contrast to the pieces about hope, love and life.

In "Poetry, Like Love", Lynda tells us that "poetry, like love, cannot be forced or left gathering dust...It must be nurtured, given room to bloom flowing in perfect rhythm to the shape of a heart". Lines such as "I knew fate when it fluttered in grasping it by the wings" ("After The Kiss") and "his gaze met my glimmer, poetic spirits entwined spilling love in gentle lyric" ("A Certain Symmetry") are only a few examples of the ethereal quality of Lynda's poetry. In her title piece, "Into the Light", she tells us that she "always wanted [her] own garden. Well, she has it, and it is alive and well in this book. It is a garden she has tended to with loving care. We not only see it in her romantic poems, but in her loving messages to her children with poems such as "Leaving Imprints", in which she urges them to "Run throw flowers, wild; carve your message in the sands" and "Step softly through tears joining hands and seasons where time flies". We would all do well to heed this advice. Finally, Lynda tells us that "Some say romance lives only in old movies and novels". Not so; it is alive and well, and lives in Lynda's poetry.

A poetry collection from the heart about love, loss, hope and reflection. Through her perfectly chosen phrases, Jill Lapin-Zell embraces love and the overwhelming emotion it brings. Jill touches on love and many other topics that we can all relate to as in her poem, Anyone Can Be A Lover, Jill says: "Fly high and free without a net" and "Pull down the old stone walls. While the winds of vulnerability blow." "Life is full of mediocre things; love shouldn't be one of them". A brilliant collection of inspirational poems.

Lost Poetry by Victoria Valentine. 36 passionate poems of love and loss with additional prose and haiku in this 76 page book of romance: These poems often contain intense touching of words and skin between speaker and object of the poem, but often they mourn of that which cannot be found...the search for peace within self which seems unattainable without a significant other. We will be swept away in a torrent of sometimes breezy, sometimes gusty, near guilty pleasures in this incredibly intense work which is typical of the fervent style of Victoria Valentine. This woman's poetry is just a match waiting to be struck...and when it is...look out, because the blaze may singe your perusing eyes. jacob erin-cilberto (author of an Abstract Waltz)

During some of their most difficult times, Victoria Valentine, Lynda G. Bullerwell, jacob erin-cilberto and Amitabh Mitra have let their innermost thoughts spill onto paper. Our Little Black Book of Ills is a heart wrenching collaboration of forty-six poems of pain, passion, and something we cannot survive without ... hope.

Eliot Waters and Sharon Hardcastle are a Colorado Couple. He's the Lake County Sheriff in Leadville and she's a detective on the Pueblo police force. Their geographic separation is only one part of the problem. One of Eliot's former lovers, Cassie Maugham, suddenly zooms into town and wants to resume their affair, one which she tossed away many years ago. At the same time, Sharon is forced by Pueblo's mayor, Brian Mansfield, to investigate Frank Streckfus, a member of the city council and a former Army buddy who appears to have much greater wealth than he should. Chance Cullen, just released from the Colorado State Prison in Canon City, is a new arrival to Pueblo. He lands a janitorial job at Parkview Medical Center, keeps a low profile, and patiently waits for an opportunity to settle some old scores. In Dick Reynolds' latest novel, Eliot and Sharon fight hard to enforce the law but must also battle outside forces which threaten their relationship.
