Alone in the Yard, by Leo Racicot

Just revised, this book of poetry is an unassailable explanation of life on earth in the current century, and in the latter half of the previous one.  The author, a confidante of food writer MFK Fisher, whose love of food in its native habitat and good cooking anywhere was legendary, takes us through a boyhood in the Bay State and an adulthood in a nation that has opened its eyes to the variety of human experience. Mr. Racicot is right on target for our times.

Time on a Greased Toboggan

A book of poems that traverses the poet's life in New York which later became life in Cornwall, UK. It makes sense of the wide gulf between always cogent NYC and always bucolic Cornwall in a way that fills the soul, no matter which place is under discussion, dissection and often, revelation.

Sometimes, life revolves around something odd, something outside one's experience. Something one never even considered. A nosebleed that lasted two days, and required the chief consultant and the head nurse. And yet, the author being something of a Druid helped. Still, there was a luminous shadow, revealed in prose poems about essential moments in our lives.

"It must be nice to have no mentality at all..." according to a lament in this little book that traverses the breadth of human experience post-Brexit and during Trump, while the world, regardless of your position on the medians of human life, goes thump in the night and thuds like another painful brick on your toe in the morning. And yet, there is hope. Even post-contagion. "Give me a smart nurse over Big Pharma any day."

The Mortal Remains

Mr. Small is busy at the moment doing live performances of his work. When he takes a break, we will get to work getting it out to you.

This little boy exists in most of us regardless of our gender. We look on in expectation, not knowing that a shadow lurks somewhere. Maybe hoping we will be old enough, by then, to combat it and win.
This collection of poetry certainly does.

A new collection of poetry by Laura Harrison McBride.
 

Taking a look back at the recent 'plague years' and before and after, this small tome reveals what went on during that horrible time, personally and to the society in which we live. 

 

Doom and gloom?

No, but the poet leads a path through what's gone on to a hopeful future, up to and including a vignette or two of people 'caught in the act' of being fully human.

Green. Fun-loving; Turbulent past. Edge of Europe. Homeland of millions of American families. Irish Whiskey. Irish Coffee. Irish Wolfhounds. Good Irish craic (which means fun in case you were getting upset.) The author spent 15 years back and forth from the US to Ireland, and later moved next door, to the UK, meaning MANY trips. Who better to explain the ineffable Irish?

The original title was "Eating Their Young." It was never about cannibalistic wildlife, but about the so-called Greatest Generation that had more kids than it could afford, failed to provide for their higher education (the US govt. had paid for the Greatest Generations' college), and then made a quest of spending every cent instead of saving some for their kids and grandchildren to get a good start in life. Read and weep.
