Tommy Campbell is a stand-up comedian who spent a decade bouncing from job to job as the prankster, the rebel employee, the comedian, the slacker, the scapegoat, the hard worker, and the risk taking inspiration for those he worked with. From his extraordinary experiences in ordinary places, came these true, inspiring comedic stories of being hired, fired, quitting, volunteering and everything in between. His stories combine to form a hilarious and motivational anthem for anyone who's ever worked and for anyone who's ever had the slightest desire to go after something more. Prepare to laugh and be touched as you ride along on his sidesplitting voyage through the work world.

An award-winning author of 50 books, a three-time Fulbright Scholar, and a life-long human rights activist, Dr. James D. Cockcroft brings his readers "WHY? ¿POR QUÉ? POURQUOI?" - a bilingual English / Spanish collection of poetry. The author asks the age-old questions of love and grief, of nature and politics. Let James take you on his intellectual and emotional roller coaster ride from the hardheaded woman that takes no jive, to his understanding of "the wet joy of defiance". His ride will lift you from "autumn sun's casted rubies" to the Andes' "sky-wind" and "snowy temples," ending in the depths of the fight "with all and for the good of all" of political figures like "the Cuban 5". Blurb by Luke Rhinehart James Cockcroft writes to be read and re-read and savored. His language is simple and direct but this simplicity belies the moving complexity of what he expresses, which never fails to surprise and please. - Luke Rhinehart (Author of the internationally acclaimed novel THE DICE MAN) Blurb by Katharine Beeman What Cockcroft lives and depicts best is "Presente," that concept that understands the thin line between love and grief; where there is no death because the absent are present; where we are linked in mutual responsibility and struggle in the spiral of Pacha Mama and the Great Mystery. - Katharine Beeman (Direct and Devious Ways, The Muses' Company / La Compagnie des Muses) Blurb by R.D. Roy: Here we find tribute to love in all its forms. And as a bonus, we can rediscover how a good poem in English is somehow always a little sadder, triumphant, or sexier when it's said in Spanish. - R.D. Roy (Three Cities, A Pre-emptive Kindness, Hidden Brook Press)

Lifting the Veil published by Hidden Brook Press - 978-1-897475-48-5 With a sharp eye for details, Karen Cole takes us on a journey to the "other side", those mysterious places called convents and priories, letting us see for ourselves what few have experienced and even fewer written about. Like the Joni Mitchell song she quotes in the book, she has seen life "from both sides now". The courage that took, as well as the courage to write about it, has to be applauded. Francine Pelletier, Journalist and Filmmaker Karen Cole will get thee to the nunnery and then turn your habit inside out. You will find yourself falling in love with the charming Sister Bridget as she journeys behind the veil to discover the life of a Benedictine nun. Funny, poignant -- and sometimes saucy! -- this honestly told memoir fascinates as it elucidates just what goes on behind the walls of the Motherhouse. ~ Collette Yvonne, author of The Queen of Cups

In English and Spanish Sweet Cuba The Building of a Poetic Tradition: 1608-1958 Forja de una tradición poética: 1608-1958 Published by Hidden Brook Press ISBN - 978-1-897475-53-9 Editor: Dr. Manuel de Jesús Velázquez León Translators: John B. Lee, Dr. Manuel de Jesús Velázquez León Sweet Cuba is the most significant book of translated Cuban poetry ever published. It will remain of dominant importance in Cuba's poetic history for decades to come. Cuban poetry has never had such a thorough and precise translation as is presented here in this collection. Sweet Cuba es el libro de poesía cubana traducida más significativo que haya sido publicado. Será de importancia relevante en la historia poética de Cuba por décadas. La poesía cubana nunca ha tenido una traducción tan precisa y cabal como la que esta antología ofrece. Apart from a few known writers, Cuban poetry is a mystery to us. To have it so brilliantly translated by John B. Lee and Manuel Velázquez is indeed a gift. They translate the poetic history of that astonishing island with a master's hand. Rosemary Sullivan, author of "Cuba - Grace Under Pressure" Con la excepción de unos pocos poetas conocidos, la poesía cubana es un misterio para nosotros. Tenerla tan brillantemente traducida por John B. Lee y Manuel Velázquez es ciertamente un obsequio. Ellos traducen la historia poética de esa isla asombrosa con mano maestra. Rosemary Sullivan, autora de Cuba - Grace Under Pressure ---- The paradox of Sweet Cuba is the fragile poetic bridges that yearn to connect Marti's metaphorical yoke with stars that are within and beyond the reach of language. These poems record the dialectic between the romantic possibilities and phenomenal impossibilities that are the poignant story of Cuba, and nothing is lost in translation. Linda Rogers, Victoria Poet Laureate La paradoja de Sweet Cuba es la de los frágiles puentes poéticos que ansían conectar el yugo metafórico de Martí con estrellas que están dentro y más allá del alcance del lenguaje. Estos poemas exploran la dialéctica entre las posibilidades románticas y las imposibilidades fenomenales que constituyen la conmovedora historia de Cuba, y nada se pierde en la traducción. Linda Rogers, Poetiza Laureada de Victoria

Sweet Cuba: The Building of a Poetic Tradition - 1608-1958

Since 1880, ORT's mission has been focused on empowerment through education, a pragmatic education enabling the recipient to obtain meaningful employment. ORT originated in Russia, the catalyst being the abolishment of serfdom. A few visionary leaders created ORT for the sole purpose of 'helping those to help themselves.' Instead of providing money, they provided education to those willing to learn. The old concept of Teach a person to fish and they will be able to fish for life remains to this day. The inspiring transformation and heart-warming stories told in Stories Inked are almost all inextricably linked to the transformative work of ORT. The stories tell much about the human spirit, how given an opportunity it can soar above a past that tried to obliterate it. It is our hope that you will find a particular story that will resonate with you.
