Autumn Window
Poems by William MarrVerse has never been freer, yet strong discipline is at work....The human spectrum visible
in Autumn Window will make readers nod, smile and perhaps wipe an eye.
--Chicago Tribune
A master of lyrical layers along with the beauty and brevity of his Chinese heritage,
he enhances his skill with the spontaneity and flavor of his adopted American homeland.
His humor, insight and tenderness are universal; his control of such rich ingredients is sure-handed.
Autumn Window is distillation in its purest form: A delightful wine with a rare bouquet.
-- poet Glenna Holloway
Each (poem) is a window opening onto beauty and fluency. There is every shade
of happiness and sadness, anger and peace in this collection. Their effortless renderings
of a civilized mind in touch with an often mad world are part of their mystery.
-- poet Li-Young Lee
Some comments on William Marr's previous works:
He uses the language of the common people fluently and clearly...
gives profound meaning to common objects and events..
-- The Isle Full of Noises
Modern Chinese Poetry from Taiwan
Columbia University Press
Unquestionably among the best contemporary Chinese poets..
.He is unique and without peer in the arena of short poems..
-- Huaxia Poetry (China)
His concise yet highly symbolic poetry, with a deep sense of humanity,
adds a new dimension to the rich trandition of Chinese poetry...
He bridges the gap between new and old, and between East and West.

Stops on the Way to Eden and Beyond
poems by Larry TurnerThe Bed
(from Stops on the Way to Eden and Beyond)Each May the bed moves
to catch the breeze
between window and open door.
. Each October it moves back
to its protected place
against the far wall.
.
The years grow shorter.
The bed barely stops at one place
before it returns to the other.
In ever shrinking years
it spins about the room
faster, faster.

The Paintings of Zhiwei Tu
Hardback....14"x15"....200 pages....ISBN 0-9637547-5-0.... $300.00
This beautiful book is an overview of the spectacular paintings of the gifted artist Zhiwei Tu,
who has created some of the most famous, dramatic, and realistic art
to come from China in the last fifty years...
Tu has given us insight into the lives and legends of the ancient Chinese empires.
The captivating subjects come alive again through the masterful strokes
of Tu's brush and his brilliant use of colors...
In today's high-tech, commercialized society--where the bizarre has greater impact than
the beautiful--I thank God that superb artistic talent is still to be found to exemplify,
as Zhiwei Tu's work does so brilliantly, the wonderment of the human spirit.

Thanzaloria Sticks Her Neck Out
by Donna H. Turnerwith 15 Illustrations by Ruth LaSure
A Children's Book for Ages 6 through 12
Thanzaloria is a young giraffe whose short legs, small neck
and round spots separate her from the other young giraffes who live in
their African savannah. .Because the others make fun of her, Thanz spends
most of her time with her best friend, Wert, who is a warthog.
Their adventures lead Thanz to help others, first a baby chimp and
then a small antelope. When Thanzaloria runs into trouble herself, she begins to
understand the importance of accepting help from others.
Thanzaloria Sticks Her Neck Out is not only a picturesque, lively and tender read,
but getting to know the unselfish and ever-learning Thanzaloria is like
peeking into the soul of her creator. Through the character of Thanzaloria,
Donna recalls with vivid details what it's like to be a child who longs to look
and act perfectly--but never can....She reminds readers of all ages
that we are each unique, valued and a precious ingredient to life.

How to Eat Humble Pie & Not Get Indigestion
by Charlene Ann BaumbichThe role of humility in the Christian life, treated with humor
BACKCOVER: Charlene Baumbich never was the humble type.
But God has been teaching her humility--and the process feels like
getting a pie in the face every so often. She tells us, with candor and
humor, about some of these "holy pies" God has delivered and how
they have redirected her life (without stifling her pizzazz). Like her
frantic expedition to the garbage dump in search of two lost airline tickets.
Or missing so many golf shots that she finally began to air for the lake.
This book will relieve you of living up to unrealistic expectations
so you can enjoy yourself, others and God.
"Refreshing! I LOVED this book. It helps us discard our false piety
and just knowwe are loved by God--even without all that varnish. It is a delight!"
