So when you first woke up this morning, what was the first thought that popped into your head? Maybe you said a quick prayer. Or perhaps you felt an overwhelming sensation in your mind like floodgate doors being thrown open to all your plans, appointments, and expectations. Like with the law of gravity, set parameters are so quickly established in the real world by others, as well as ourselves. They dictate what we can or cannot do. But do they really? Do we have to succumb to what life seems to command of us, or can we decide to embrace the gravity of our life experiences, both good and bad, and use them as our teachers? Soul of a Poet's Heart lays out the unique experience of going back in time to reflect on one's decisions, experiences, and feelings. And as a true "gallery" on display, it offers messages of profound inspiration and value to see, ponder, and ultimately understand. Whether it's about matters of love, relationships, family, forgiveness, spirituality, wisdom, encouragement, or even art, culture, politics, and philosophy""all of these broad topics impact and speak to our core with both complexity and revelation. Soul of a Poet's Heart unveils an innate secret""that we're all poets and artists by the act of "living," and we all create a virtual gallery of experiences, emotions, and thoughts too precious and intense to ignore or hide from sharing. It's time to get away even for a moment and embark on something new and different, yet, oddly familiar""to explore being a student of yourself and use that knowledge to learn and take flight into the essence of becoming all that God meant for you to be.

On June 28, 2015, retired California State University, Chico librarian Jim Dwyer was found unconscious on the floor of the men’s room in a mini-mart outside Sacramento, apparently on his way home from the Bay Area opening night of the Grateful Dead’s Fare Thee Well tour. He died that evening in a nearby hospital. A nationally recognized literary scholar, Jim had dubbed his alter ego the Rev. Junkyard Moondog, reading beat-like poetry at open mics, joining local bands on stage, marching for peace and justice, working to save endangered species, and generally raising his freak flag high. A year after Jim’s death, his friend and colleague Steve Metzger bought Jim’s tiny run-down cottage from Jim’s brother Billy, whose only condition was that Metzger not remove Jim’s giant peace sign—fashioned of yellow and white freeway-lane divider dots—from the sloping street-facing roof of the house. Metzger, adjusting to recent personal changes of his own, set about restoring the cottage. He eventually christened it the Blue Peace House. Part biography, part memoir, Rock My Soul: A Poet’s Heart, a Brokedown Palace, and a Final Fare-Thee-Well examines Jim’s complicated life, drawing on extensive interviews with Jim’s neighbors, friends and colleagues. The book also highlights turning points in Metzger’s 40-year freelance writing career, along the way offering a look at Chico history, including the filming of The Adventures of Robin Hood, Woody Guthrie’s little-known summer in Chico, the WWII Chico Army Air Field, and the beginnings of the Chico Peace and Justice Center. Facebook posts from Jim’s/Moondog’s friends after they learn of his death shed further light on the life of this eccentric scholar/artist.

The beauty of nature surrounds us, but its beauty is often wasted as we rush through lives filled with work, family, and other responsibilities. What if we were to slow down for a moment and take a look around? What would we notice; what would we learn? Surely, more than we could have imagined. Poet Ajit Sripad Rao Nalkur admires the wilderness around him, while living in southern India. His words bridge the gap between the human world and the world of nature, where small details speak volumes and inspire peace. He writes not only of natures majesty but also of our connection to ita connection we can choose to ignore or embrace. In this collection, an artist seeks and waits for his muse. Little things bring great joy, like a single wildflower or the serene power of silence. Nalkurs words reach beyond the page and into the readers innermost being, challenging each of us to emotionally connect with nature. These poems remind us all to slow down and admire the miracle that is life on Earth.

Lies of night If the tip of a sun doesn’t wash your ink away, Then your eye has sinned throw that lamp away, This darkness like a sigh is the sight of an eye, With the rise of a sun comes the news of a night, That which will give a raging fever to your art, For years has to burn like a flame in your heart, Every wood brings change when placed in a pyre, Happy or sad it’s bewildered by a fire, Filled with memories are your empty eyes, Full of life but your spirit has died, A night always comes with a dagger in one hand, For those happy boarders of a joyful land, The fire of love burns in those parts of hell, Where windows of heaven open to drizzle her smell, And If god lives in heart or so says the Christian man, Then when a heart is broken does he feel the pain? I wrote this poem in fear that should a day come where I have to write a synopsis for this book what will I say? Well, this short poem truly encapsulates my story, words, sentences, and paragraphs don’t do justice to art, so “Let the rise of sun be the proof of sun”. Poetry has burnt within me for years. This book is about that fire, I believe every single person in the world has an interesting story to tell, but not all can tell an interesting story. Then there are those stories that are both interesting and intense, those stories are really worth telling. While a neurotic can choke on his own intensity, an artist makes a story out of the flesh of his madness. There is not a lot of difference between the two, except the latter is somehow penetrable.

The Journey of Love is an exquisite collection of poetry that delves into passionate subjects such as intimacy, romance, and commitment to name a few. Words of endearment, assurance, and unbridled truth will capture your heart as you turn each page.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A story of patients and staff, family, and friends who are part of a heart clinic in a community caught between the old Ireland and the new. • "Good-hearted [and] entertaining." —The Washington Post Dr. Clara Casey has been offered the thankless job of establishing the underfunded clinic and agrees to take it on for a year. She has plenty on her plate already—two difficult adult daughters and the unwanted attentions of her ex-husband—but she assembles a wonderfully diverse staff devoted to helping their demanding, often difficult patients. Before long the clinic is established as an essential part of the community, and Clara must decide whether or not to leave a place where lives are saved, courage is rewarded, and humor and optimism triumph over greed and self-pity.
