Book Description
Once associated with Broadway premieres and New Year's Eve, Times Square has more recently been known more for its porn shops, prostitutes, and other purveyors of questionable moral fiber. Starting a decade ago, everything began to change. The city shuttered the flesh shops, buildings closed for renovation, and a wonderfully whimsical collection of wordplay appeared on the abandoned movie marquees that stretched down 42nd Street. These enchanting, inspiring, even uplifting snippets are collected here in postcard form, for enjoying and sharing.

Book Description
Weep Not, My Wanton collects eight short stories and a fifty-page poem, "WilleWorld," all based on Maggie Dubris' experience as an EMS worker in and around Times Square, New York City. Here, too, is an ambitious series of linked poems, "Toilers of the Sea," concerning other themes: extinction, time, comic books, and the passage of the old world into the new. Ms. Dubris tells us "how it is" in unheroic, often comic detail. Her stories and poems are full of strobe-lit images of the homeless, the lost, and the luckless in emergency rooms, hotel rooms, and subway tunnels. The New York street photographer Weegee wrote: "When you find yourself [feeling] a bond between yourself and the people you document, when you laugh and cry with their laughter and their tears, you will know you are on the right track." Maggie Dubris, in this debut collection, is most definitely on the right track. "I used to think that working on an ambulance would be like being in a war," she writes. "I thought that I would go up against death, face to face, and that I would win, because I wanted to so much. But that's not how it is."

Book Description
Public Poems testifies to the struggles of God’s estranged children (all human beings) to reunite with our Cosmic Parent (Hana Nim) from whom we were separated due to fall of first human ancestors. These struggles are manifest in contemporary experiences described in everyday, accessible language. This book contains no “poetic” speeches or calculated “difficulties”. I have no interest in displays of academic erudition to tittilate elite intellects. I’m interested in what Whitman calls “a new tongue” that expresses hopes, fears, dreams, dramas of ordinary people searching for true God, true love, true joy, true peace. The new tongue is democratic.
