Seven Bridges Turning Adversity Into Victory by Dessa Byrd Reed
The following review was contributed by:
CAROLYN HOWARD-JOHNSON award-winning author of This is The Place and Harkening: A Collection of Stories Remembered
Poetry as Therapy
Poet Dessa Reed's Book Builds Bridges
In an introduction to one of the sections in Seven Bridges, poet Dessa Byrd Reed readily admits that ""poets love to create a poem about creating a poem."" That should make the subject taboo for poets for, after all, their goal is to see the world and tell of it in a new...

Roger Corman: Blood-Sucking Vampires, Flesh-Eating Cockroaches, and Driller Killers. by Beverly Gray
The following review was contributed by:
CAROLYN HOWARD-JOHNSON
Those who love all things Hollywood, Kitsch and Nostalgic are going to love Beverly Gray’s biography of Roger Corman. She has a knack for anecdote and has chosen a subject well suited to her talents. It is a fun book. Fascinating. Even sorta educational if you happen to collect trivia. Here are some examples:
Did you know that, in addition to 400 feature films, Corman mentored the likes of Frances Ford Coppola and Martin...

Displeasures of the Table Memoir as Caricature by Martha Ronk
The following review was contributed by CAROLYN HOWARD- JOHNSON Displeasures of the Table by Martha Ronk is a sort of mingling of peanut butter sandwiches and nostalgia. It is often a sort of examination of how a train of thought moves along a fragmented track, how one image connects us to another event. Reading Ms. Ronk is like discovering we have found a kindred spirit when we notice she can follow us when we go off on a tangent in mid-conversation and she can figure out what the hell we're...

Architecture Fixtures and Hardware by Maggie Stevenson, Photography by Chris Everard
The following review was contributed by:
CAROLYN HOWARD-JOHNSON
In case you haven’t noticed, everyone is remodeling. Or building. In many locales homeowners save lots of money by moving up or out rather than changing residence. Homeowners’ sensibilities have changed from the days of cottage cheesy ceilings and heavy drapes. The same is true of details like hardware and Maggie Stevenson has created this book to help those whose tastes are changing move with the times.

I Love You Like Crazy Cakes by Rose Lewis, Illustrated by Jane Dyer
The following book was reviewed by
CAROLYN HOWARD-JOHNSON
I Love You Like Crazy Cakes by Rose Lewis is a lovely little board book destined to become a keeper for any adopted child. The author sings a lullaby in prose to her newly adopted Chinese baby, one that baby and others will treasure. Illustrator Jane Dyer captures a nostalgic 40s look that still manages to look up-to-date.
A book that is narrowly targeted to adoptive parents and children, I believe it would be most appreciated by...

Money Mama & The Three Little Pigs by Lori Mackey(Author) Nicole Lomonaco and Icy Young (Aritsts)
The following review was contibuted by:
CAROLYN HOWARD-JOHNSON
I have a theory about children and money that is not rooted in science. I believe that babies pop out with ingrained personality traits that translate into the way they handle money from the time they are little to adulthood. This may not sound like the beginning of a promising recommendation for a book like Lori Mackey’s Money Mama and The Three Little Pigs which gives children a sound philosophy for how to handle money.

One of the advantages of an “unauthorized” biography is that it should offer a more creative and exciting challenges to the biographer and a much greater illumination to the reader.
There is always the danger when a biography is authorized that a conflict of interest may arise and the truth may be compromised.

Disinformation: The Interviews by Richard Metzger
Reviewed by Paul Lappen
For a couple of years, the Disinformation TV series
was shown in Britain. It dealt with all sorts of
strange topics. Through a quirk of fate, it was
scheduled right after Ally McBeal, an unintended bit
of surrealism. In America, the show was bought by the
Sci-Fi Channel, but never shown, because they suddenly
realized just what they had. The interviews reprinted

By pure chance, I always happened to be outside Hangu (and in Peshawar city, where I graduated and now am employed)...
