Marya Zaturenska was a major American poet in the early decades of the 20th century. Her work was hallmarked by a traditional lyric grace and penchant for artifice that led to her work being considered old fashioned and out of style by many of her literary peers, yet won her the 1937 Pulitzer Prize. She was 36 years old at the time. Now under the deft editorship of Robert Phillips who has also provided an informative introduction, New Selected Poems By Marya Zaturenska presents a gifted poetry to a new generation of readers and students of American literature and poetry. I Know An Island: I know an island, pale in the green sea/Where the Atlantic waves grow lost in mist,/Of delicate violet and pure amethyst,/Where the gray sea gulls rise monotonously.//Green, green the shoreline, rises cool and green,/Small purpling hills archaic and serene/Through lingering rains that fall deep, endlessly.//Step on this greenest, softest, dreamiest turf/To breathe the mystery this isle presents/And you shall hear the sound of violence/Subdued and hostile as the rising surf.//Saints, heroes, kings, and martyrs, waxed and waned/In this their ancient seat, gray-toned yet wild/In haggard beauty, subtle as a child,/How many times adored, subdued, profaned. ...

I was terrified of just about everything after reading this book. Even the great Stephen King writes similarly to Lovecraft! Oh, and speaking of King, with that story "Crouch End"... YIKES! If you want to read this Stephen King story, it is now in Nightmares & Dreamscapes. Sweet dreams...

Our 8-year-old and 6-year-old found this title fascinating and a good all-round yarn. Plenty of action for boys and girls. Did you know that Juanita Phillips is about to launch a chain of coffee cafes in London, and can be seen on CNN?

Mandy's really clever, tricking those reporters...except Hugo. Well, I admit he was tricked...but only from a while. I highly recommend this book. It's a pity. The Newspaper Kids series are great but it's not famous.

This is a compilation of the transcripts of speeches given at the founding convention of the US Taxpayers Party in 1992. Foreword by Joe Sobran, and speeches by, among others, Otto Scott, Ron Paul, Howard Phillips, Gen. Knight. Excellent reasons for true patriots, Americanists, Constitutionalists, libertarians, and conservatives to join the party !!!

"For 25 years David Atlee Phillips stood "the night watch" for the CIA."

But according to Donald Freed and the simple facts, Phillips was an active spook after he retired and founded the AFIO or ARIO -- Association of Retired Intel Officers -- putting Claire Booth Luce on the board of directors, and acting through the association to manage the South Florida cuban-exiles at arms length, since they were becoming a liability to the company.

"Phillips details his experiences in 18 countries. Along the way, we learn much about the 'Company' . . ."

Phillips writes about his "experience" in certain countries, when he was actually in other countries. You don't learn anything about the "Company" until you realize the level of censorship to which CIA authors subjected their work; you won't learn much about Phillips' role in the "Company" until you realize the full implications of his efforts to be a playwright and an author, and his ongoing activity as a community theater actor during his CIA career.

But if you accept the possibility that Phillips was somewhat narcissistic, and that he had a real itch to cleverly reveal yet conceal his participation in the greatest crime of the twentieth century, then "The Night Watch" becomes a real treasure. One might actually conclude that it is a Rosetta Stone to Dealey Plaza and the sheep-dipping of Lee Harvey Oswald. And when you turn over in your mind the implications of Phillips' "specialty" for the "company" -- that of "propaganda specialist" -- it raises to new, quantum levels the insidious nature of the Dealey Plaza assassination and the coverup that continues into 2001.

This book should become a collector's item, and probably is a collector's item, to people who understand something about it. None of the symbols and images and strange anecdotes included in the book would ever be admitted as evidence in court if Phillips were still alive, but that observation is a moot one, since he has been dead since 1987.

Parodying the title "Tibetan Book of the Dead", I like to call it the "Texan Book of Lies". I am not a really superstitious person, but Phillips was born on Halloween; he often joked that he was "born to be a spook"; he printed the book with a black-on-orange jacket; and he had worked his way through college selling cemetery plots to little old ladies in Fort Worth, Texas.

You could let your kids read it, and they would never suspect anything, nor would it do any harm. But when I see it, sitting on my coffee table, I imagine I hear a swarm of flies buzzing around it. And he was a good writer, although I think he betrayed his personality, so it makes for pretty darn good reading.

Always has my family been able to associate with the Sylves {aka Sidhe} and now I own tis book. It is useful information for any storyteller, or any player who wants to know how the local Noble thinks. This book has made a world of differance in my Chronicle.

I am an elementary school teacher and I love this book! I use it to supplement our Every Day Counts exploration of the day of the school year we are on. It provides background on squared numbers, cubed numbers, Fibonacci numbers, etc. The kids love to be challenged with facts like "Today's number can be made by 9 consecutive double-digit numbers. What are they?" Buy this book if you teach mathemtics or love numbers.

Although this print is a little outdated (1989), it still contained information that is of value today in obstetrics. It was very informative, including FHT monitoring, induction, prenatal care, care of the teenager and older woman, drug addicted patients and concerns the nurse would have in caring for them. I didn't notice it was written in 1989 until I realized there were no citings of recent studies, just studies done in the 80s. Regardless, a lot of the content is synonymous with labor & delivery today. It is very easy reading, also.

Daisy and Dan are twins who live near the High Forest. When they go walking in the woods one day, they meet some very strange people. These people turn out to be trees! As the two become friendly with the trees, they learn about the traditions from when there was more respect for the forest. Through each season they come to understand who is really a danger to whom, and become wrapped in the secret world of the tree kingdom. The story is enthralling and well written. You will never look at trees in quite the same way again.
