Paul Laurence Dunbar was born on 27th June 1872 in Dayton, Ohio. His parents had been slaves in Kentucky before the Civil War. Dunbar wrote his first poem at age six and gave his first public recital at age nine. By 16, he was already published as a poet in The Herald, a local newspaper. After completing his formal schooling in 1891, Dunbar was employed as an elevator operator, at four dollars a week. His hopes of a legal career floundered on a lack of funds and racial discrimination. However, he wrote his poetry and took every opportunity to publish.

This group of 19th-century American poets was the first to rival their British counterparts in popularity. Gathered around their New England roots, they were also known as the Schoolroom or Household poets and comprised of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, William Cullen Bryant, John Greenleaf Whittier, James Russell Lowell and Olivier Wendell Holmes, Sr. Occasionally Ralph Waldo Emerson was included, although his poetic philosophy differed in some key aspects.  

With 50 new, original poems, Northern Moons emerges as a continuum to Rob Taylor’s previous books. The spiritually-based essence of Taylor’s poetry speaks to the layers of consciousness that compose our soul. Each line is constructed (regardless of content or perceived context) as an inspiration for the listener to engage in a mindfulness approach to understanding the dynamics and worth of human influence across the spectrum of creation. The outcome of that effort is a greater capacity for love of each other and eventually cultivating a “human” community.

Three life-affirming sections of poetry and prose. Fear Is a Liar is a collection of poetry and prose telling a story of resilience, loss, survival, love, and hope. Best known for her poetry journals of major life and world events, Du Noyer's writing ranges from stark and moving elegies to abstract, descorts, and free verse, providing a poem for every emotion experienced during prolonged periods of crisis, such as violent relationships, abuse, the death of a parent, or a global pandemic - all serving as the major themes throughout this anthology.

This debut poetry collection takes a slanted view at five aspects of being human: life, love, loss, longing, and laughter. Pain and struggle and suffering is a given in life — for some more than others. Joy is inseparable from sorrow and pain; joy finds its footing in the latter. Each day, each morning, we have a choice to make: misery or joy. Joy is the better option.

This collection pays tribute in story and verse to our four-footed canine friends - those doggone dogs. You will find every kind of dog: loyal and devoted dogs, honest to a fault dogs, brave dogs, trouble-prone dogs, hungry dogs, bad dogs, misunderstood dogs, understanding dogs, comforting dogs, and many more. You will laugh, cry, and ponder as you listen to this delightful tribute to our dog companions. For, without them - and their doggy hearts - the world would be a colder, less interesting, and certainly less loving place. So here's to those doggone dogs!
