From a prize-winning poet, a new collection that chronicles a weekend in the life of a group of friends coming of age in East Harlem at the dawn of the hip-hop era Willie Perdomo, a native of East Harlem, has won praise as a hip, playful, historically engaged poet whose restlessly lyrical language mixes "city life with a sense of the transcendent" (NPR.org). In his fourth collection, The Crazy Bunch, Perdomo returns to his beloved neighborhood to create a vivid, kaleidoscopic portrait of a "crew" coming of age in East Harlem at the beginning of the 1990s. In poems written in couplets, vignettes, sketches, riffs, and dialogue, Perdomo recreates a weekend where surviving members of the crew recall a series of tragic events: "That was the summer we all tried to fly. All but one of us succeeded."

Meditations of My Heart is a collection of soliloquies composed by Shirley Hudson. Interacting with happenings in her life, she finds analogies that speak to the territory of Christian experience. Seeking to provide greater practical and devotional application, she has assembled an index in the back of the book listing the various scriptural passages that figured in each meditation. The soliloquies were sent out on a weekly basis via email to an ever-increasing audience. Many who received them expressed appreciation and suggested that they be published in book form in order to have them at hand and to share them with a wider audience. Her first hundred meditations were published in a book entitled He Awakens Me. This volume contains her second hundred. The author hopes and prays that they will not only reach a wider audience, but that they will prove to be helpful in promoting that quality of life that truly honors and glorifies her Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Roderic B. Davis, Sr., is better known as "Coach Barry" or "Barry." Coach Barry has been coaching since 1976, when he was 19 years old. Due to his coaching and interacting with youth and their parents, he has had plenty of opportunities to talk to both, his players and their parents, about different situations in their life. He soon found out that coaching just for that particular sport was not the only reason why he was coaching. Everyday issues and situations about day-to-day life was the priority. When Barry talked to them, not having the time to think of a politically correct response or a perfect answer, God blessed him to be able to speak to them from his heart. Barry realized he was coaching for life. Today, he still teaches and coaches basketball, while giving life lessons with a common sense approach. It is said, "Common Sense" is not all that common. From My Heart shows how regular everyday issues and situations can either be solved, or changed for the better, by using plain old common sense. From My Heart will make people sit-up and take inventory of their lives to see if there was anything they could have done better, and if there is anything they can do better to improve their life. From My Heart is a book filled with God inspired messages. It was written to help people deal with life's issues and situations. As you read, you will see Barry has a passion for children, families, and people in general, who are trying to live their lives the best way they can. These messages are about all different aspects of life. Even though common sense may not seem to be that common, sooner or later, common sense has gotta kick in.
