DOWNLOAD EBOOKMary Rita Schilke Korzan wrote a poem to her mother 24 years ago, thanking her for all she had done as a mother, friend, and role model. She gave the poem to her mother and, a few months later, offered it as a tribute when Mary and her husband were married. So many wedding guests asked for a copy that Mary included one in her thank-you notes.Then began the strange and heartwarming journey of Mary's poem to her mom. Friends passed it on to those they knew. A minister in her hometown couldn't recall who gave it to him, but he included the by-then "anonymously written" poem in his book about loving others. Another author picked it up from there for her compilation of heartfelt works, and Mary finally noticed her poem, now listed as "Author Unknown," in A Fourth Course of Chicken Soup for the Soul, which her husband and children gave her as a Mother's Day gift.With this new book, readers have the chance to experience When You Thought I Wasn't Looking in its entirety and from its creator. This is the special kind of book that reminds us that sometimes the little things we do "just because" mean more to someone than we can ever know. Those little things teach love, compassion, and understanding. In other words, they're priceless. This sweet gift book brings that lesson home to the heart.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFamily continues to be a wellspring of inspiration and learning for Blanco. His third book of poetry, Looking for The Gulf Motel is a genealogy of the heart, exploring how his family's emotional legacy has shaped—and continues shaping—his perspectives. The collection is presented in three movements, each one chronicling his understanding of a particular facet of life from childhood into adulthood. As a child born into the milieu of his Cuban exiled familia, the first movement delves into early questions of cultural identity and their evolution into his unrelenting sense of displacement and quest for the elusive meaning of home. The second begins with poems peering back into family again, examining the blurred lines of gender, the frailty of his father-son relationship, and the intersection of his cultural and sexual identities as a Cuban-American gay man living in rural Maine. In the last movement, poems focused on his mother's life shaped by exile, his father's death, and the passing of a generation of relatives, all provide lessons about his own impermanence in the world and the permanence of loss. Looking for the Gulf Motel is looking for the beauty of that which we cannot hold onto, be it country, family, or love.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBilly on the Balcony is a story of courage, inspiration, and determination. Following brain surgery and a triple heart bypass, William John Beattie received the devastating diagnosis that was to change his life: "You have vascular dementia" (a progressive, debilitating cognitive disorder). Nightmares of a slow descent into unknowingness haunted him . . . until his fighting spirit refused to accept his ordained fate. He would not allow his children, grandchildren, and other family members to become faceless strangers.Watching the world in isolation from his balcony during the pandemic, Billy ultimately rebelled and declared it was time to "reclaim his name." The forecasted signs of mental decline did not manifest; Billy still read half a dozen books a week, handled all the household finances, and organised large family holidays. And so, this mental health warrior demanded a review of his condition-and got on with living his life.Billy returned to his passion of writing poetry, often poignant but always with a twist of humour. He is a triumphant example of refusing to accept the inevitable-Billy reclaimed his name!
