Review Excerpt by Connie Wanek, MNartists.org Things You Will Never See Again, a collection of poetry by St. Paul's Greg Watson, is dedicated to the memory of Mark Allen Cole, and one cannot help but read the book through the lens of this dedication. Even the title suggests that the poems are a kind of report to his friend on how the world looks after his death.But the work is not uniformly sad, by any means; nor are the poems "confessional" or filled with personal detail. Most of the work is brief and lyrical, with attention to sound and the natural image. Though the setting for most of the poems is urban, they are inhabited by sycamores, sparrows, elms, crows, fish, rivers and lakes-and the wind blows through them, and they are rain-washed. Watson evokes the natural landscape through lyrical metaphor, as in these first lines of "The Silence of City Streets": The silence of asphalt, like the silence of large water, weighted with age and expectation, bears the namesake of all our departures...Occasionally the lines relax into prose-the book begins with a prose poem-but mostly they are spare. Watson has enough confidence as a poet to allow a brief, but dense thought to stand as a very short poem, as in "Credo," presented here in its entirety: Never turn away from a blessing no matter how severe.As suggested by the quotation from the Dalai Lama which precedes the first poem, the theme in these pages is impermanence. Even a poem like "A Brief Encounter," which turns on one of those small miracles of the imagination, shares this central notion. It's a lovely poem, nine lines, swift and sure. Watson has a keen eye and ear: in "Sounds Heard During an Afternoon Storm in September" he says the shadows are "woolish" and the rain sounds "like a litter of cats/ lapping from the same milk bowl."Many of the poems work the way a Zen koan does, presenting a paradox or small riddle that must be solved, not through rational thought, but through acceptance and reconciliation of contradictory truths. One feels that the poet, too, is seeking as he writes, and that this process is more the point than any conclusion he may draw. Too, we find the impulse of the Buddhist toward humility: Watson says Each time I re-write my epitaph, it requires fewer and fewer words.Occasionally a pair of adjectives or an adverb seems unnecessarily decorative, as here in "Monument": "The thick and stately oak...casting small, bird-like shadows/ in the feminine, overgrown grass." Part of this is writing style. But too many modifiers, rather than clarifying, can cloud a poem's effect.Overall, though, the poems are penetrating and rewarding. Things You Will Never See Again is Watson's third book from March Street Press. In an era when readers' patience is often tested by baggy narrative poetry, it's refreshing to read poems that move directly toward an essential conclusion.

Things New and Strange chronicles a research quest undertaken by G. Wayne Clough, the first secretary of the Smithsonian Institution born in the South. Soon after retiring from the Smithsonian, Clough decided to see what the Smithsonian collections could tell him about South Georgia, where he had spent most of his childhood in the 1940s and 1950s. The investigations that followed, which began as something of a quixotic scavenger hunt, expanded as Clough discovered that the collections had many more objects and documents from South Georgia than he had imagined. These objects illustrate important aspects of southern culture and history and also inspire reflections about how South Georgia has changed over time. Clough’s discoveries—animal, plant, fossil, and rock specimens, along with cultural artifacts and works of art—not only serve as a springboard for reflections about the region and its history, they also bring Clough’s own memories of his boyhood in Douglas, Georgia, back to life. Clough interweaves memories of his own experiences, such as hair-raising escapes from poisonous snakes and selling boiled peanuts for a nickel a bag at the annual auction of the tobacco crop, with anecdotes from family lore, which launches an exploration of his forebears and their place in South Georgia history. In following his engaging and personal narrative, we learn how nonspecialists can use museum archives and how family, community, and natural history are intertwined.

I felt I had been placed in the center of something that was alive, pulsating with life. I knew God had placed me there and that he was in control. As I stood there sobbing, I felt something the consistency of liquid being poured over my head again and again. It ran down the entire length of my body. My knees buckled and I fell to the floor from the weight of it. With each pour I felt a love for my father that was so big and powerful that I actually felt my body would burst. This was not a natural love; it was far greater. As this liquid was being poured upon me, I became aware of a powerful presence in the room. Then I heard the Lord say to me, I had to anoint you so that you could feel just a little of the love I have for your father.

The star of Investigation Discovery’s Dark Minds—“the Harlan Coben of real-life thrillers”—takes readers inside a crime that shocked the nation (Allison Brennan, New York Times bestselling author). In the summer of 2003, the Houston suburb of Clear Lake, Texas, was devastated when four young residents were viciously slain. The two female victims, Tiffany Rowell and Rachael Koloroutis, were just eighteen years old—popular and beloved. But when a killer came knocking, it turned out to be someone they knew all too well. Seventeen-year-old Christine Paolilla was an awkward outsider until the girls befriended her. In this gripping true story, complete with 16 pages of dramatic photos, award-winning investigative journalist M. William Phelps delves into the heart of a baffling mystery to get to the truth of an act so brutal it could not be understood—until now. Praise for M. William Phelps “The best true-crime writer to come along in years.”—Gregg Olsen, #1 New York Times bestselling author “Phelps ratchets up the dramatic tension.”—Stephen Singular, New York Times bestselling author “One of America’s finest true-crime writers.”—Vincent Bugliosi, #1 New York Times bestselling author “Phelps creates a vivid portrait.”—Publishers Weekly “One of our most engaging crime journalists.”—Katherine Ramsland, PhD, author of Confessions of a Serial Killer

In 550 BC, or thereabouts, Buddha stated “I am the sum total of everything I thought”. This was divine wisdom that is inspiration for the book’s title; The Truth is what YOU Believe. Everything you think is based on a process of thought reaching a conclusion that becomes exactly what you are, as you traverse the complexities and opportunities of your life. The Truth of Religion reviews the position of the major Religions and influences they have in societies globally today, and how technological/social giants like Google, Facebook and YouTube threaten the loyalty to religion, and the values that came with those belief systems. The Truth of Sport examines whether money and greed have overtaken human integrity. Does the end justify the means today? The original endeavour of competitive sport started with the purest of ideologies in the Olympics rebirth in Greece in 1896 and is in stark contrast to the drug ridden corrupt fiasco that is prevalent in many professional sports today. Discover what makes top athletes really tick. If there are no rules there is no discernible truth. The section on the Truth of Business looks at how creating credibility in every moment of a company’s existence is the key ingredient to success and importantly how the leader and structure play a part. Commitment to strong ideals is paramount. Weak people tend to accept, and are happy to exist in a world of lies, as it is often easier and cheaper to delude yourself than confront reality head on. How people from all walks of life deal with the adversity of relationship failure and how absolutely critical the truth is, in all your relationships, is uncovered in its barest form in the Truth of Relationships. After the first betrayal, you have nothing. Living a true life means you will always have your integrity, a value beyond compare.
