by Steve Almond
A book for anyone who's ever tried to write poetry -- and failed miserably. Steve Almond's new DIY project is a compendium of truly wretched verse, accompanied by humorous essays on the nature of his own pretention and idiocy. Poet Kim Addonizio warns: "Be scared -- very scared -- of this little book." D.A. Powell is more direct in his assessment of Almond's work: "Painful failures."

by Thomas J. Barfield, Jr.
In Recollections of My Navy Days, Barfield presents a vivid first hand picture of the last campaigns of the Pacific War. Events are recounted from his perspective as a young naval officer aboard an LST, who rises from the ship's lowest ensign in 1944 to its commander in 1946. It includes a striking eyewitness account of the amphibious landings and return of the wounded on Iwo Jima and Okinawa (his boat carried the Marine unit featured in HBO’s The Pacific), attacks by Japanese kamikazes, and a detailed description of everyday shipboard life and operations. Ordered to Shanghai during the Chinese civil war, he decommissions the ship and returns home. Revised shortly before his death, the book is an elegantly written story of a young man taking on the unexpectedly mature responsibilities and accomplishing them as if they were ordinary. Of course, neither the man nor the tasks were ordinary, as any reader will soon discover.

by Agron Belica
In this book, Agron Belica offers a fresh interpretation of the momentous events on a hillock beyond the walls of Jerusalem nearly two millennia ago: the Crucifixion. Belica asks disconcerting questions about the received version of gospel “history” and gives free rein to his inquisitive nature. Many of his ideas and speculations will strike the casual reader schooled in the ancient Biblical Traditions with which they conflict as unhistorical, impossible, and unbelievable. Yet, when questioning established premises, the impossible may often be shown to be possible, as Socrates was fond of doing.

transliterated by Agastya Dhanesh
Sanskrit, the language in which this song (Geetaa) was originally written, is a root language of Greek and Latin, and therefore of English, German, French, Spanish and others. While its calligraphy is exquisite (Robert Oppenheimer “relaxed” by reading it) it is a stumbling block even to those who speak Hindi.
To make this work available to a wider audience, this transliteration is presented by a humble sage in its full form of 352 verses AND in a user friendly “sound byte” rendering, believed to be the first in the Guru Gita’s long life of thousands of years.
Having personally received “The Touch” of at least six genuine kundalini yogis / gurus / svamis, it is hoped by the author to invite many others to attract this Grace by singing this hymn.

Letters to Iris and Leo is an autobiographical compilation of letters written to my grandchildren over a period of five years. Accompanied by photos it chronicles their early years, beginning with adoption at birth by two fathers, while recalling in parallel my own life as a child growing up in Turkey. The book goes on to describe my journey to the United States as the first international undergraduate student at Duke University, my marriage to a professor, and my adventurous life as the wife of a prolific artist.
The story unfolds through my professional life as a teacher of creative arts; artistic director of Boston’s annual New Year’s Eve Celebration, First Night (1980-1994); and founder of First Night International. Coping with my husband’s declining health, widowhood, and beginning anew as a travel writer conclude the book.
My personal journey also touches upon issues of same-sex adoption and parenting, cultural differences between East and West, as well as the founding years of First Night Boston.

by Joe Ershun
Since settling in San Miguel de Allende with his wife, Florence, more than twenty years ago, Joe Ershun has become well known locally for his activism and commitment to social justice, and for his involvement in the social and cultural life of San Miguel. He’s also well known locally as a poet. Another Child of the Century brings together a wide assortment of Joe’s poems—on world events, love, spiritual life, philosophy, and the human condition—with a selection of his essays and reflections on many topics: his introduction to political activism in the 1930s, his experiences as a medic in Italy during World War II, trying his hand at chicken farming in New Jersey in the early 1950s, the pleasures and frustrations of early retirement, and his appreciations of San Miguel—both the beauty of the city and its setting, and the community he and Florence found there.

The Hollow Earth Society presents
SUSPICIOUS ANATOMY
Workbook No. 15: The Human Cranius
From the genre-chainsawing minds of Ethan Gould and Wythe Marschall comes "the definitive guide to the horrifying world inside you"—finally available in lush, illustrated paperback!
In the tradition of John Hodgman, David Cronenberg, and H. P. Lovecraft, The Human Cranius explores an alternative anatomy at once mesmerizing and deeply unsettling. Gould and Marschall ask: What do we know about our own bodies? What does it feel like to have guts? To face disease, age, mutation—a self that is not only not whole but not even on its own side?
SUSPICIOUS ANATOMY addresses these physio–psychomological quandaries by producing, for your benefit, the entire unconscious of the body—the shadow-self—in words and elaborate images.
If you are a living human, you should make frequent forays into this field guide to your hideous secondary body—the cranius, an organ-matrix & carnival of fangs which is trying to destroy you even as you read this sentence...

by Dan Kennedy
Becky Kennedy was more than her parents had bargained for. Born a dwarf, her early medical problems nearly overwhelmed the family's resources. But as surely as she recovered and grew into a healthy little girl, Becky became more than Barbara and Dan could have hoped for: not merely a miniature likeness of themselves, but a little person with such a unique perspective that she opened their eyes to a whole other world.
In Little People, Dan Kennedy confronts the deepest of paternal fears: What if my child is different? His search for an answer provides a penetrating look at how our culture of diversity clashes with the reality of disability and the belief that we have a right to the so-called perfect child.

When I re-married, I thought Nancy and I would settle in a bucolic section of Massachusetts, a place where the cows meet the sea. That was before I discovered I had married a travel junkie. Where I envisioned walks along quiet beaches, her sights were set on stakeouts beside the Serengeti National Park’s Grumeti River watching crocodiles take down a baboon. I didn’t want to come within six thousand miles of a crocodile. Yet I couldn’t bring myself to let her go alone. Traveling with her for 16 years, I have done my best to understand not only the extraordinary people and places we have visited, but my own neurosis. I studied my anxiety across forty countries, including seven terrifying trips to Africa, from the Serengeti to the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Slowly I began to accept the profound differences between my wife and me. Although terrified by my experiences, I have learned from them, most especially from an encounter in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest with an angry female gorilla. She offered me a key insight into my marriage and myself. I owe that gorilla more than she’ll ever know. I Married a Travel Junkie is a chronicle of these journeys.

by Albert Luongo
The Relationship and Dating Handbook offers common sense relationship advice based upon Albert Luongo’s years of experience. Luongo’s approach is different than most, as he posits the idea that dating and relationships are fundamentally about competition. This book contains practical information for changing one’s approach to dating and behavior in relationships accordingly. Instead of focusing on immediate or superficial solutions, Luongo advises that only hard work over time can achieve the improvements in personality and self-confidence necessary for success. As he outlines paths for self-improvement, he takes into consideration just about all aspects of life, as each portion can contribute to or inhibit success. One’s occupation, education, money and children all play important roles, and they must be held in proper prospective. Within this context, the dating scene and various stages of a relationship are discussed at length to give the reader an overall picture of the competition involved.

by Bobby Martini & Elayne Keratsis
In the early 1960’s a bloody civil war broke out between the two powerful Irish Mob families in the Somerville Massachusetts neighborhood known as Winter Hill. Over sixty men were murdered, including the leader of the Winter Hill Gang, James “Buddy” McLean. The leadership of one of the most influential non-Italian crime organizations in the United States was inherited by his childhood friend, Howard T. “Howie” Winter. In CITIZEN SOMERVILLE the events during his tenure offer a true picture of an era in Boston’s pre-Whitey Bulger history when the streets were protected by a close-knit group of Irish-Italian “businessmen.”
The son of one of Winter’s closest friends, BOBBY MARTINI has laid his own history bare to depict a life of survival in the rough streets of Somerville, stopping just short of entering the Mob life. The death of Martini’s two brothers as well as the murders and suicides of scores of others reveal the darker personal side of a small New England town.
CITIZEN SOMERVILLE slices a layer deeper than a crime memoir by allowing a usually ostracized faction to speak – the women. After decades of silence, three strong and very different females lift the Mob veil and voice their own struggle to survive in Somerville’s criminal circle.
Often painfully poignant and yet frequently hilarious, with CITIZEN SOMERVILLE Martini and Keratsis give readers a microscopic view of a generation struggling to walk the moral tightrope between societal decency and the loyalty of criminality.

The story of Little Mouse is based on facts from Henry D. Thoreau's book Walden (first published in 1854), and from his Journal. It follows his life at Walden Pond step by step in the building of his house and through the months he spent recording his thoughts. In Walden, in the chapter titled Brute Neighbors, while building his house, Thoreau mentioned a mouse who became friendly with him just after he had laid down the first layer of floorboards.
In Little Mouse ten of Thoreau's interesting state ments are woven into the story, and then translated into words easily understood by young readers. This book will inspire young children to read Walden - (when they get a little older) one of the great masterpieces of American literature.
10,000 copies have sold so far! This is its 3rd printing. On pages 46 and 47 you will find comments from 3rd grade readers about what they thought of the story. One sample: "I loved how Little Mouse met Mr. Thoreau. She wasn't afraid. I loved how they talk to each other." - Noelle

Book Two in the Faith Over Fear Series
Bostonian Jon Myers continues to bring this unprecedented story of emotional abuse and sadistic behavior to light with one main goal in mind: To stop it. Exposing the extreme and outrageous behavior of the Myers family emanating from Scranton, PA in the When Blood became Mud section, Jon Myers reveals a true story of unfathomable betrayal, perverse behavior and ultimately redemption.
In the second book in the Faith Over Fear series Myers carries forth three themes: 1) how extreme and outrageous the behavior of this particular family got; 2) how this provided an unbelievable opportunity for Jon Myers to grow and change as a person; and 3) in the last section, How Coal became Diamonds Jon shares ten invaluable lessons he learned through this process that can be terrific assets for people in these challenging times and for people facing adversity in general.
While many self-help books preach about a way to live, Jon Myers has walked the walk through these changes, and kindly, gently, and respectfully shares his wisdom with you.

This is the first collective memoir of VISTA volunteers from the Sixties, whom the New York Times once called the "shock troops in the war on poverty." Trained primarily as community organizers using Saul Alinsky's controversial tactics, these 35 ex-volunteers from the domestic Peace Corps share their stories and how those experiences shaped their lives.
These accounts--thoughtful, witty, sometimes irreverent--are by ex-VISTAs who are movers in their own communities, as well as by those who wear a more public face. The latter include Pat Jehlen, Massachusetts state senator; Ray Magliozzi, co-host of NPR's "Car Talk;" Jeremy Rifkin, author and environmental critic; Jack Ghery, ex-CEO of Land O' Lakes; and Ben Taylor, former editor of the Boston Globe.

It's all about the paper until Mizz and Razah find themselves having to protect their newly built empire, and everyone they love, from a potential collapse from within. Mizz and Razah learn that family is more important than anything, and sometimes, knowing when to walk away is harder than hitting the last-second shot or making the 100 yard run.

"Okay, so this is page one, paragraph one, sentence one of my very own "Writing Class journal". So what do I write for my second sentence, I wonder? Mr. Bailey said everyone in his class had to begin keeping a journal, and writing in it "frequently, if not regularly." He said we should put down things that might be worth expanding and writing about later. He said he wouldn't ever read the journals, so I wonder what all this has to do with his teaching this course in Creative Writing. But I do think maybe what I want to put down, hoping to expand and write about later, is Mr. Bailey himself."
So begins this personal journal of Suzanne Bolton, through which she (and you) will get to know her teacher, her self, and something about how and why people write.

New York in the early Nineteen-Twenties is a city of immigrants—refugees from Ireland, Italy, Eastern Europe, Jim Crow Dixie and the West Indies. Black Harlem is a pressure-cooker of differing cultures and social classes where artists and intellectuals are staging a renaissance of art, literature and militant politics, creating urban jazz, turning the Prohibition speakeasies of Harlem into an adult playground for the entire city.
Ray Bishop is a veteran of the World War I trenches and crime reporter for the weekly Harlem Gazette. When a wealthy black realtor is found murdered in a cabaret alley, the police blame it on his numbers runner, but Bishop’s skeptical stories draw the attention of the runner’s racketeer bosses--who claim it is a plot by white gangsters to frame them. Bishop’s former infantry C.O.--now NYPD Chief of Detectives—asks him to pursue the case unofficially with the help of a fellow veteran Assistant DA and Manhattan’s first black police sergeant. To the annoyance of New York’s only black plainclothes detective, Bishop begins to dig into the murdered realtor’s background, uncovering a complex web of hidden relationships and dark secrets behind the respectable mask of Harlem high society.

This is a fictional account loosely based on an actual bank fraud that was perpetrated on Bank of Boston by one of its trusted employees. The General Manager of the bank’s International Private Banking Branch in New York City, the man at the center of this tale, vanished without a trace. Approximately $65 million dollars disappeared with him. Some think that the fraud brought the once great 200 year old bank to its knees, leading to its acquisition by a lesser bank, the one that it had originally aimed to acquire. John Zamecnik knew the perpetrator of the fraud, having worked with him for years in the same department.
Local author John Zamecnik grew up in Boston and made his career in Latin America, starting out with the Peace Corps in Ecuador. He spent three years in La Paz and another three in Montevideo working for USAID in the early ‘70’s. After that, his career took him into banking, working in Mexico, Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo and Rio. He spent 15 years in the world of International Private Banking where this tale occurs.
