Description

This centennial edition of E. E. Cumming's Complete Poems, published in celebration of his birth on October 14, 1894, contains all of the poems published or designated for publication by the poet in his lifetime.

At the time of his death in 1962, E. E. Cummings was, next to Robert Frost, the most widely read poet in America. Combining Thoreau's controlled belligerence with the brash abandon of an uninhibited bohemian, Cummings, together with Pound, Eliot, and William Carlos Williams, helped bring about the twentieth-century revolution in literary expression. He is recognized on the one hand as the author of some of the most beautiful lyric poems written in the English language, and on the other as one of the most inventive American poets of his time—in the worlds of Richard Kostelanetz, "the major American poet of the middle-twentieth-century."

Description

Pii is a child prodigy, his best friend is the heir to the planets, he shares his home with a warrior and a ballerina, and to top it off he’s in love with a Gipsie, could his life get any more strange?
The school year is just starting on the sparkling crystal planet at Niula College and Pii is about to learn just how bizarre it can get. A small drop of blood changes his and his friend’s lives forever.

A gripping adventure into fantasy as eight young college students find their way into the Evensongs and discover a power beyond their imaginations.

“Lost in the Evensongs” is the second book in the series ‘The Evensongs Trilogy’. It is not the sequel, but the comparison story, bringing both sets of characters to the same place in time. It can be read before or after “Quest of the Evensongs” (though the author likes it after), creating the harmony for “Chorus of the Evensongs” due out the in fall of 2011.

Description

Overnight Vila's simple life is shattered when she falls into a swirling pool and wakes to find herself alone with only her silent crystal. Vila soon realizes that she has stumbled upon something that has been mystifying her people for generations...and another crystal.

Coupled, the mystical crystals pull her into an exquisite vibration of colors, encircling her with swirls of luster and sound....pleading for her to help them, find the ones with knowledge!

Without much choice she is propelled into this perilous quest filled with magic, power and the unknown.

Shul, a renegade Scribe from the Palace of the Blue Robes fights to keep the little ones in his care hidden from the ones that would have them killed. Forced to return, they conceal themselves deep within the Palace.

Questions haunt him; is he the cause of the deadness creeping across their world? What...or who...are the Evensongs that called to him? He took something years ago that he didn't have the right to, but now that he has it, what is he suppose to do with it?

Adventure, intrigue and tangled relationships run rapid in this fanciful tale of a magical world, the young people striving to stay alive and the Evensongs trying to be heard.
