Book Description
This collection of prize-winning poems by Barbara Blanks carries the reader through the range of human experiences. Perhaps a normal, sensible sequence would begin with Dawn, and end with Dusk or Eclipse, but she chooses to start with light and a kiss from the gods, move through the dark eclipse that sears like dragon's breath, then feel a joyous pulse at the pinnacle of light-and have some fun along the way. Her feet might be "wet from not quite leaping over puddles" but Barb is still willing to "pull the husk away from heaven, and bite into the flesh of the sun."

Unstable: Twisted Tales & Tasty Entrails
Author: Barbara Blanks
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1794749071
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 113
Book Description
Barbara Blanks is equally adept at both horrific blood-thirsty stories and humorous blood-thirsty stories. She is, in fact, a little afraid to turn her back on herself because she doesn't know from what sinister brain vault some of these story ideas escaped. This mixture of mystery, crime, horror, and humor will leave you off-balance, which is-perhaps-better than being unbalanced. Or Unstable. But don't press the issue with the author. Really. Don't. Suggestions: Stay away from power tools. Avoid parks, cemeteries, zoos, farms, malls, stores, theaters, and ... your own home. And don't go toward the light at the end of the tunnel. Parental Guidance Advised only because some subject matter may be disturbing to youngsters.

Book Description
This collection of award winning poems captures the extremes, in-betweens, and sunbeams people experience-past and present, humorous and serious.

It's always our choice how we deal with them. Still, while we're in mid-leap-oh, the possibilities!
