SPEAKING UP in Poetry & Prose
Author: Jack J. Prather
January 2007
PublishAmerica, $14.95
ISBN 1424108713
e-Book $9: www.futurenowpublishing.com
SPEAKING UP in Poetry & Prose presents 50 pieces with Back-Stories and Briefs designed to stimulate thought and discussion in groups and classrooms, and among families and friends (the Statue of Liberty on the cover has a tear in her eye).
The first original collection to specifically provide insights, analyses and opinions about political, religious, societal and life issues important to all 21st-century Americans was written in mid-2006 by Prather, an award-winning columnist, editor and freelance writer. He hopes to launch a new issue-based genre of poetry and prose through newsletters and contests.
The material is written in traditional, non-traditional and experimental formats. Topics range from: the Iraq War to global warming, flag-burning to 'Under God' in the Pledge, African suffering to stem-cell research, immigration to eminent domain, taxes to healthcare costs, bullying to obsession, zealotry to intolerance, iner-racial adoption to gay marriage, the 2nd Amendment to capitol punishment, choice to hypocrisy, et al . . . with haiku, too. (Yes, there really are poems about eminent domain and stem-cell research.)
The book was inroduced in January at www.publishamerica.com and is available at online bookstores such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and at most bookstores by order (ISBN 1424108713). Further information about the book, e-book or "Speaking Up" newsletters and contests is available at www.futurenowpublishing.com. |

Maybe Granddaddy’s ’55 Chevy Plus 30 ½ Other Stories Author: Jerry Hobbs
 1) Why hijack a commercial aircraft flying out of Boston only to take its passengers to Canada?
2) How can a counterfeit penny be lucky? 3) What’s the proper etiquette when someone is found trapped in a man-eating plant? 4) What’s so important about a couple of missing buttons? 5) What does the size of a person’s bladder have to do with finding true love? 5 ½) How can a book have half a story? These five and a half questions will be answered as you read the 31 ½ stories of fiction contained herein. The one thing the stories have in common is that they have nothing in common. Some are funny, some are serious, some are short and some are long. Regardless of the type or length, each was created with one purpose in mind: to provide entertainment. Maybe Granddaddy’s ’55 ChevyPlus 30 ½ Other Stories can be found at www.lulu.com ID = 490818 By Jerry Hobbs. |
