Elizabeth McKim explores poetry as narrative with her poems about Bombay and Benares, India.  Coming out of two trips to India, the poems re-create the unique feel of these cities.  You will know the people and the sounds and smells of their lives after reading these poems.  Eleven photographs by Karen Moss, a noted Boston-based artist, and Cary Wolinsky, a contract photographer for National Geographic, illuminate the poems.

On Folktales of Strong Women, Doug has unearthed and reassembled five tales of women--from young girl to crone to immortal death--from Mexico, Africa, Poland, Israel, and Vietnam.
