Book Description
“I’ll sing to you next time” consists of 46 poems by Victor Edgar Rivera. The poems in this book are sparse on words, but resourceful in imagery and ideas. Some of the poems are written in Spanish, as the poet felt this to be the best way to convey those emotions in their proper space. Some of the poems use both English and Spanish to express a common experience. There is a surrealist objective in several of the poems. Haiku, blues and ballads are also played. Throughout, the poet strives to infuse melody, harmony and rhythm into every word.

Brimming with ballads, riddles, and magical transformations, here is the timeless tale of a charismatic bard whose talents earn him a two-edged otherworldly gift.

But when the bold and gifted young Thomas the Rhymer awakens the desire of the powerful Queen of Elfland, he finds that words are not enough to keep him from his fate. As the Queen sweeps him far from the people he has known and loved into her realm of magic, opulence—and captivity—he learns at last what it is to be truly human. When he returns to his home with the Queen’s parting gift, his great task will be to seek out the girl he loved and wronged, and offer her at last the tongue that cannot lie.

Book Description
A profound examination of grief and a great celebration of love by internationally bestselling author James Runcie. In early 2020, as the world sunk into the pandemic, James Runcie and his wife Marilyn Imrie were going through a different, far more personal tragedy. After 35 years of miraculously happy marriage, they learned that the painful, frustrating symptoms Marilyn had been experiencing for two years were a sign of Lou Gehrig's Disease. With this diagnosis, during the isolation and strangeness of the pandemic, James and Marilyn's lives were transformed. Now, in his startling and intimate memoir, James tells the story of Marilyn's illness and death–-in all its moments of tragedy, rage, and strangeness-–while painting a vivid portrait of her life, in all its color, humor, and brightness. Tender, funny, and deeply true, Tell Me Good Things is an unforgettable story of life before death and love after grief.
