Out of all of Sheri-D Wilson's four published books of poetry, my most loved is her second, Swerve. This work is purely transendental. It merges both her brilliant talent for rhythmical poetry , alive with action and sparks, and her obvious internal knowledge of the stage. The continual metaphors of this book show a dedication to the oral tradition in poetry, taking the reader inward in a burst of colorful motion, then spewing out the dynamics in gesticulation of the written word. Minds who claim that poetry is purely for academic stiffs, prepare to be taken where the lyrical sounds of a modern day female writer will take you, --the stillness in between pulse beats is only a momentary illusion--but swift enough to make the open minded among us dance with the power of poetry. Recommended to those looking to explore both poetry, and acting.

This is a great book - a must to put on your cabin bookshelf. A compilation of 26 articles from various magazines from the turn of the century (1892 to 1909,)it is heavily illustrated with prints and line drawing from such greats as Frederick Remington and Arthur Heming. Retrace the journeys of trappers, voyageurs, and adventurers in the Canadian Wilderness.

"Talking Stick", by M.G. Alexander is an essential reading for anyone who considers life to be a journey. His style, which he's termed Common English, invites readers from every walk of life to delve with him into the world of feelings, emotions, romance, and growth. Alexander speaks courageously about joy and love without excess sentiment; about depression without bleak bitterness; and about loss in which hope still survives. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys excellent poetry, but more importantly to those who wish to see more of themselves in the reflections of the author's works.

Having recently been in Halifax - i found that this book was right on! Wonderful examples of great food with some history thrown in to boot. Great gift for those who like seafood and want more than just a good receipe.

Rich with passion and an obvious desire to convey his true emotions. Sky Gilbert is lovely on these pages and the layout is visually stirring too.

I had to do a Monologue on Molly Brant, and this was my number one source. Excellent detail. Molly Brant was a Native American Loyalist with one foot in the Mohawk society and the other in European Society. She connected the two societies during the American Revolutionary War. Yeah Molly Brant!! Molly Brant Day: August 25

Thoroughly researched and most enjoyable to read, this book tells the story of the Canadian Submarine Service from the first day of the Great War to the present. Ferguson uses dialogue and one fictional chapter to bring the tale alive and ensures there is a strong focus on the submariners themselves. A must read for all naval history buffs!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I learned a lot about how white artists viewed Black female subjects.

My only criticism is that I wish that they had more recent art work in the book. The artwork primarily shown and covered in this book is from the later half of the nineteenth century and the early part of the twentieth century. There are absolutely no paintings from the 50's, 60's, or 70's. However, there are three painting from the 80's and 90's. It's almost like after 1948 white artists stopped painting pictures of black women. Overall, I have to say that the book was very educational.

Sheree Fitch is one of my favorite children's authors, and this book is a marvelous collection of her poetry. She writes whimsical, rhyming poems that're great fun to chant. An example: "I wonder if thunder's/ The burp of the sun/ When she's had a big meal/ And her supper is done." Best read to children in a group, but be prepared for them to chant the best lines for the whole rest of the day.

Denis Whitaker was there on the sodden polders of Zeeland. He remembers the brutal battle to save the Dutch in their own land. He and the many Allied troops fought valiantly against the Germans to open up Antwerp to deliver the much-needed supplies. This big book, full of maps, is bursting with first-hand accounts in a first-rate narrative.
