Exotic Wings will take you through the journey I traveled from my sanctioned childhood to the war-torn teenage years, all the way to the American dream. Growing up in Iraq has created a survivor I never thought I would become. Through the hardships I faced, I found so much strength worth sharing with all of you out there, who perhaps wonder what it is like to live in Iraq. There is a trauma to living under a dictatorship, economic sanctions, and one war after another. The book entails a journey of recovery that will hopefully pave the path for some of you to learn to cope, embrace, and make peace with your past.

When Hollis Giammatteo sought a job working with the elderly, she did so with the intention of finding models of healthy aging. And she failed. In The Shelf Life of Ashes, Giammatteo chronicles her experiences with her wards, as well as the trip she embarks upon when her mother, who is convinced she is dying, entreats her to come “home.” Trips back, traumas triggered, identity in crisis, equanimity gained—this quasi-comic, concentrated journey engages the reader in the process of naming and facing the tasks involved in growing old, while asking a simple but weighted question: Can aging be done well?

These poems are the imaginings inside my head. Their ordering reflects my priorities. My family comes first. The time and place poems focus on everyday life, feelings and reactions to events. The narrative poems have helped me to grasp some of the issues lying behind the shifting identities in these islands. They dip down into pre-history and up again into the present day. Geology is a unifying theme. The commentary poems range from the serious to the frivolous. They set out my stall. I hope they are not too lecturing. The poems of possibility are my attempt to wrap some metaphysics around the real world. I have thought that when I go, maybe my “ Annie... “ poem and “ Dreaming On “ might make a suitable epitaph. As with music, I am aware that accessibility is important. I hope that the words in these poems let you in and are not too obscure.
