About the book
MY HEROES
“As a child, I had the desire to understand all things. It was my curiosity that led me to level my ears into conversations of the elders who had gathered in my father’s taverna. Time and again, words of wisdom were spoken by the crowd who frequented the taverna. They told stories about brave people, sang songs about life and love, and seemed content with the simplicity of their lifestyle… Amidst the laughter, songs and folktales about heroic deeds and mythical characters, there was my father’s smile and my mother’s luminous face.
The taverna was where my parents worked.

by Lesa Caldarella
In Desert of this Beauty, Lesa Caldarella explores her interior and we are graced with the treasures she finds there. Her poems are bloody and heart-crushing, rich with dark tones and piercing details, but tinged with a humor and playfulness that is refreshing throughout. Some of her themes are as grand as regret and redemption, but Caldarella’s striking sensory images and creativity of form gives everything a fresh perspective. I was alternately surprised and inspired. Many of her lines are still affecting me.
Diving into these words was an exercise in bearing witness to a part of the human
experience I had only read about in the newspapers. I remember reading about Rwanda. I
prayed. But I was removed. Reading Real Bread was a journey into the darkest parts of
humanity; haunting and harrowing, yes, but bearable and illuminating because Lesa
Caldarella bore witness with love, with the eyes and heart of God as embodied within as a
“woman from the West.”
Every swan has seemed to have found their fairytale, all except for Claire. Claire knows she is different but this makes her special. Will she find someone that will love her for who she is?

Fifty Famous Composers for Kids of All Ages is a book of biographies about the lives of famous classical composers.
by Dan Marrone
This book is a story about 9/11/2001. This is more than a ghost image, it is a ghost town. Everyone in America played their part; before, during, and after. Everything in this book is true but the names have been changed to protect the guilty. It is part memoir, part incantation.
This is an epilogue, an apocalypse, and an alchemical allegory. It is a tying together of things to try and stop the unraveling, the addiction to the denouement which lurks at the center of contemporary culture at the black heart of all entertainment and all stories – including our own.
by Floris R. Freshman
When I grew up in Seagate, which is on the very tip of the Cape of Coney Island, during the fifties and sixties, my world was divided into friends whose parents spoke with European accents, and those whose parents were born in America and had no accents. I thought the latter were special.
They were really ‘American’, they were savvy, established. They had grandparents, lots of aunts, uncles, and cousins, all well-to-do, all in business. Their living rooms were decorated with modern furniture and velveteen wallpaper. They had refrigerators full of TV dinners and made mashed potatoes from a mix. They all had cars and televisions, and knew about the Governor and the Mayor. The mothers had jobs as well as the fathers. They never breast-fed their kids. They didn’t say hello when you passed by their block. They’d buy houses elsewhere and move away, some went to Florida.
The Americans only had one first name, whereas all my relatives each had about five names, which consisted of a Polish name, an affectionate nickname, then Yiddish and Biblical Hebrew names, and lastly, an American name. My relatives came to the USA from war-torn Poland, believing that no wrong could ever touch them again. Thus, they were newcomers, “Griene” in Yiddish, or “Green”, as fresh as a budding Spring. Therefore I also consider myself green, or a novice, being a first generation American. Okay, a freshman.

They are designed to stimulate the reader’s imagination while using sight words and the “First, Then, Next, Finally” principles of a story. Where did the key come from? Are the beads leading me to a treasure? What could it be? A treasure chest? What will the chest hold?
