The astonishing second book by a lively and inventive American poet of Filipina-Indian descent. Naomi Shihab Nye says of this book, "Aimee Nezhukumatathil's poems are . . . ripe, funny and fresh. They're the fullness of days, deliciously woven of heart and verve, rich with sources and elements-animals, insects, sugar, cardamom, legends, countries, relatives, soaps, fruits-taste and touch. I love the nubby layerings of lines, luscious textures and constructions. . . . She knows that many worlds may live in one house. . . ."

New York Times bestseller Patricia Rice offers a tale of love and mystery. . . “Exotic locales and dangerous skullduggery highlights this delightfully adventurous tale. Patricia Rice just keeps getting better and better.” Jill Smith, Romantic Times After landing in the Caribbean island of St Lucia on business, account executive Penelope Albright is shockingly accused of smuggling drugs—until a sexy stranger claims to be her husband and kidnaps her. Trouble and Charlie Smith are two sides of the same coin. He needs a wife—temporarily—to help him keep a low profile while investigating the disappearance of his business partner. And like it or not, elegant Penny is convenient, if way too upscale for Charlie’s tastes. Like the island’s legendary volcano, their primal attraction is a force of nature. The lush setting should be a haven for lovers, not killers. But the sultry heat hides a peril they don’t anticipate. Can they fight their way out of the jungle that is their past and live to see the future? REVIEWS: “Want a steamy jungle romance? Look no further than Volcano. Enjoy.” Cathy Sova, The Romance Reader “Fast-paced and well-balanced, VOLCANO ... (has) just enough suspense to make the story exciting and (add) some sizzling sex!

Genre: Poetry
ISBN: 1426913850

The poems included in Awaken were derived from the author's personal experiences with his family and friends; including social, economic, humanitarian, and world issues. This enlightening volume is written in a universal language that will appeal to everyone. The thoughts and ideas presented in his poetry are intended to provoke the conscience and awaken the hearts of men to respect women and each other. Universal themes that expose wrongs, beckon change, recognize our differences, and respect each other acknowledge the existence of the supreme one. Valuing life as a gift, while finding the motivation in someone or something, is critical to our everyday existence. These subjects, though sensitive, are real-life situations that affect an array of persons at unexpected times. These changes may begin through introspection, reflecting on one's blessings or through the forgiveness of oneself or others that have done them wrong. Awaken is an important step in the process that each of us must follow to find strength within irrespective of the circumstances of life. It is also critical to remember that you are never alone. We all deserve the right to be empowered, to labor, to academic dreams, to be heard, to be loved, and the right to be human.
