Poetry. With patience and precision, Hannah Brooks-Motl's third collection of poems, EARTH, explores the grand themes of love, family, economy, and home with the skill of a true craftsman. As the measured compositions of these poems shift, so do their near-sculptural forms, and a feeling both classical and contemporary develops. At times a paean to poetry, other times a critique of it, EARTH is a breakthrough collection by a poet who's ceaselessly sharp intellect continues to use poetry to gain insight into not only her own wants and needs, but ours, and those of poetry itself.
What really happened during Jesus' final days? It was, historically speaking, nothing much; a death in Jerusalem, a routine execution at the edge of an empire. Yet that execution - and the events surrounding it - were to have a profound effect on the history of the world. The last week of Jesus' life on earth was probably the most important week in history. This book aims to reconstruct the events of those days. From Jesus' entry to Jerusalem on the Sunday, to his resurrection a week later; this book explores the claims and explode the myths. It looks seriously at the evidence of the gospel accounts, without ducking the controversies and contradictions. It focuses on the history rather than the spiritual and theological significance of events and uses archaeological research and detailed Biblical analysis to take the reader through THE LONGEST WEEK.
Target Earth is the final book of the Emily Smith Trilogy. Emily Smith, Sasha, and Blain are in the voids of space between the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way Galaxy, together, commanding the Earth and Andrian Space Forces in an effort to destroy the alien entity from the Eighth Dimension. Their sheer numbers indicated that it is not possible to destroy them therefore their strategy changed to deter them from the earth for as long as possible with Sasha leading Space Commandoes to board and destroy their command ships. They believed this tactic would allow Sara time to marshal earth’s civilian and military defenses to help evacuate as much of Humanity and Andrians as possible onto Intergalactic Seed Carriers and launch them to different quadrants of the Universe. It was at this time they realized that the enemy was using delaying tactics of its own to allow an attack on the earth from a different direction thus avoiding Space Commands major defensive fleet. Sara used her childhood friend, Kyla, to contact anti-government forces and enlist their aid in defending the earth. The newly commissioned civilian commander, Frank Morningstar, took on this task and allied himself with the military to developed a strong defense. With this alliance in place most defenders believed they could defeat the enemy aliens. During an intelligence gathering attack by the enemy, Sara nearly gets herself killed by diving in front of an acid stream intended for her friend Kyla. The resultant death toll was over a thousand beach goers. Soon after encounter,enemy alien warships burst thru wormholes in ever increasing numbers too numerous to count.
