Book Description
The Secret Life of Poems is a primer which offers a poem - or on occasion an excerpt - succeeding with commentary in which rhythm, form, metre and sources are the order of the day, not ethical commentary or descriptive paraphrase. This brief engagement with forty-seven poems is intended for students and readers of poetry, and seeks to explain how poetry works by bringing into view the hidden order of specific poems.

Book Description
The Secret Life of Horses is a collection of serious, humorous, profane, introspective and sometimes political poems about both the contemporary and old west as well as film and B western cowboys. It lovingly and sometimes wistfully recounts real and fictional tales about a way of American life that is vanishing. Today's cowboys (when you can find them), are the ranchers, farmers, rodeo performers and dreamers that now carry on a proud tradition that hopefully will never die. Glen Enloe spent his early years between small farms and the suburbs. Today he's a retired advertising writer that retains a deep respect and love of rural and western heritage. He's authored four books of cowboy poetry, two of free verse and a non-fiction book. He's also been published in American Cowboy, the Kansas City Star and many literary journals. Award nominations include the Academy of Western Artists and the Pushcart Prize.

Book Description
A whip-smart fiction debut, Our Secret Life in the Movies riffs on classic and cult cinema. Inspired by films from silent-era documentaries to music videos, the authors unfold a dual narrative about two boys growing up in the 1980s. Coming of age during the last days of the Cold War, these boys dream of space exploration and nuclear winter, Reaganomics and Dungeons & Dragons, Blade Runner and Red Dawn. Haunting, cinematic, and full of life, Our Secret Life makes it clear that we are in the movies and the movies are in us.
