Blink of a Duck's Eye is a collection of Tom Bierovic's haiku, senryu, and tanka poetry, beautifully illustrated with black and white photos, sketches, and woodcuts. Haiku focus on a specific moment (usually in Nature) that catches the poet's attention and that sparks an imaginative leap of recognition and connection - a haiku moment. Although most haiku written in English were traditionally composed of 17 syllables, divided into three lines of five, seven, and five syllables, contemporary haiku are presented in one, two, three, or four lines, and most are shorter than 17 syllables. Here's one of Tom Bierovic's haiku (Runner-up in the British Haiku Society's awards for 2019 and published in Blithe Spirit, 2020): melting iciclea sparrow showersdrip by drip David Lanoue, one of the British Haiku Society's judges for its 2019 awards, wrote this commentary about the poem: The 'melting icicle' haiku is exquisite in its observation and suggestiveness of feeling. One drip at a time, the sparrow patiently showers: shaking its head (I imagine), ruffling its feathers, and then waiting for more. I imagine that it is also waiting for springtime heat and the resurgence of life that the melting of winter ice betokens. I sense such warmth, compassion, and camaraderie (Issa-like!) for the little bird. Another form of poetry in Blink of a Duck's Eye is senryu (similar to haiku in structure but focusing more on human nature than Nature itself). Here's one of Tom's senryu (published in Under the Basho, 2020): the sign saysnarrow road aheadtalk radio The third type of poem in this collection is tanka (an older form of Japanese poetry, usually written in five lines). Tom's five-line poems can also be called quintain or tanshi to differentiate them from traditional tanka. Here's one of Tom's tanka (quintain/tanshi) published in One Sentence Poems, April, 2020: knowingwhat I knowa spider webin the moonlightstill shimmers The haiku, senryu, and tanka in Blink of a Duck's Eye have earned their place among the finest contemporary short poems. Readers will discover much to enjoy and reflect upon in this engaging, well-crafted collection. About the Author Tom Bierovic (M.Ed., M.Div.) is a widely published and award-winning poet. His work has appeared most recently (2019-20) in The Bamboo Hut, Haiku Dialogue, Haiku Universe, hedgerow, Luca's Lily Pad, Mainichi, One Sentence Poems, tinywords, Under the Basho, and Wales Haiku Journal. Recent awards (2020) include two selections in the Golden Haiku Contest (Washington, D.C.) and Runner-up and Honorable Mention in the British Haiku Society's annual awards. In his free time, Tom enjoys reading, playing backgammon, playing Native American flutes and Irish whistles, and drumming on bongos and djembe. He and his wife Laurie make their home in DeLand, Florida.

When we listen, life is speaking constantly, profoundly, and intelligently in its every detail. Becoming aware, feeling beyond the coffee cup, tree or the morning light develops a new set of lens, transforming routine habit into joy-filled meaning. These moment's wink at us, beckon us to open our hearts - dare us to respond in kind. And when we do, we discover a moment full of love, a feast of insight and a new consciousness for the neighbour and the pansy. What are the "how to's" for living well with joyful purpose? What sparks our spirituality? And what will bring us home before the sun goes down? This collection of writings is about taking the dare and winking back.

George Plimpton's follow-up to Paper Lion, one of his personal favorites among his classic books -- repackaged and including a foreword from Steve Almond and never-before-seen content from the Plimpton archives. In Mad Ducks and Bears, George Plimpton's engaging companion to Paper Lion, Plimpton focuses on two of the most entertaining and roguish linemen and former teammates -- Alex Karras ("Mad Ducks") and John Gordy ("Bears"), both of whom went on to achieve brilliant post-football success. A more reflective, less madcap book than Plimpton's other work, Mad Ducks and Bears is no less truthful and searching. In this fond exploration of football's values and follies, Plimpton rejoins his two teammates to discuss their careers in this brutal but captivating game. The result is an astute exploration into the fascinating lives and motivations of the players at home, in the locker room, and on the field.

It is 1863, and a bitter Cree warrior named Broken Arrow stalks a lone Irishman called Mac, as he hobbles across the blistering prairie that is now known as Manitoba, Canada. Mac is surprised to find, however, that his traveling companion does intend to kill him, and the two become fast friends as they attempt to survive the harsh climate. Although the men are comrades, differing values and cultures threaten to tear their friendship apart. Mac is drawn to the mystical side of the land, finding parallels in ancient goddess history and comfort in his Celtic heritage as he learns First Nation beliefs. But he must first face his inner fears before he is worthy of meeting an ancient Mother Earth spirit known as Mud Woman, who visits him in his dreams. Broken Arrow, on the other hand, becomes more and more alienated due to the white mans encroaching destruction and greed. He seeks guidance from Powakan, an ancient spirit who teaches him to think for himself. When We Still Laughed is the story of these men and their journeys as some of the last pioneers in a new and changing world where French trappers, Metis hunters, Celtic pioneers, and First Nation warriors gather together and build Canadas history through their stories and laughter.

Fishkill Carmel fends for herself, with her fists if need be — until a thwarted lunch theft introduces her to strange, sunny Duck-Duck, and a chance for a new start. Born in the backseat of a moving car, Carmel Fishkill was unceremoniously pushed into a world that refuses to offer her security, stability, love. At age thirteen-going-on-fifty, she begins to fight back. Carmel Fishkill becomes Fishkill Carmel, who deflects her tormenters with a strong left hook and conceals her secrets from teachers and social workers. But Fishkill’s fierce defenses falter once she meets eccentric optimist Duck-Duck Farina, and soon they, along with Duck-Duck’s mother, Molly, form a tentative family, even as Fishkill struggles to understand her place in it. This fragile new beginning is threatened by the reappearance of Fishkill’s unstable mother — and by unfathomable tragedy. Poet Ruth Lehrer’s young adult debut is a stunning, revelatory look at what defines and sustains “family.” And, just as it does for Fishkill, meeting Duck-Duck Farina and her mother will leave readers forever changed.
