In Eating the Light, these new poems of Mary Moore ‘s new poems offer a feast for the reader. On subjects both natural and human-wrought, her eye is the painter’s: vividly clear. She creates an appetite for looking and a fulfillment of seeing. Moore’s perceptions are sensuous, intelligent, and the world in the poems is a world transformed both physically and emotionally.

These poems embody a kind of mystical sensitivity to the sources of life: immediate, continuously perishing, making its considerable mark in these gorgeous lines.

For this poet, this is only the beginning.

The Essence of Less invites you, from the time you discover you have too much stuff—or too much media-, information-, social-, work- and device-driven overload – to enter its pages and allow focus to be your guide through Clark’s exploration and celebration of “lessness” — including the times to
“Let it go—bow your head, drop your eyes with a sigh;/ Give the pearl to the sea, the balloon to the sky.”
Trudi Taylor’s challenging and thoughtful book about breasts will surprise you with its wit and insight. It shakes off the stereotypes men have about women’s breasts, and more importantly, forces women to really think about and honor their bodies and their breasts, whether they are firm, floppy, big, tiny buds, or surgically scarred.

But, most important of all, have your son or daughter read this book and talk to them about loving others and loving themselves.
