A vivid, highly evocative memoir of one of the reigning icons of folk music, highlighting the decade of the ’60s, when hits like “Both Sides Now” catapulted her to international fame. Sweet Judy Blue Eyes is the deeply personal, honest, and revealing memoir of folk legend and relentlessly creative spirit Judy Collins. In it, she talks about her alcoholism, her lasting love affair with Stephen Stills, her friendships with Joan Baez, Richard and Mimi Fariña, David Crosby, and Leonard Cohen and, above all, the music that helped define a decade and a generation’s sound track. Sweet Judy Blue Eyes invites the reader into the parties that peppered Laurel Canyon and into the recording studio so we see how cuts evolved take after take, while it sets an array of amazing musical talent against the backdrop of one of the most turbulent decades of twentieth-century America. Beautifully written, richly textured, and sharply insightful, Sweet Judy Blue Eyes is an unforgettable chronicle of the folk renaissance in America.

From playwright, novelist, spoken-word star, and the youngest-ever winner of the Ted Hughes Award, an electrifying poem-sequence based on the myth of the gender-switching prophet Tiresias. My heart throws its head against my ribs, / it's denting every bone it's venting something it has known since I arrived and felt it beat. Walking in the forest one morning, a young man disturbs two copulating snakes--and is punished by the goddess Hera, who turns him into a woman. So begins Hold Your Own, a riveting tale of youth and experience, wealth and poverty, sex and love, that draws ancient figures into a fiercely contemporary vision. Weaving elements of classical myth, autobiography and social commentary, Tempest uses the story of the blind, clairvoyant Tiresias to create four sequences of poems, addressing childhood, manhood, womanhood, and late life. The result is a rhythmically hypnotic tour de force--and a hugely ambitious leap forward for one of the most broadly talented and compelling young writers today.

This beautifully written book of poetry sets a new standard for poetic prose; it can actually be understood! Although, between the lines there can be found subtler shades of meaning, interwoven with words of strength and love. Lyrical and likeable; a broad range of emotions are covered here, that we can all relate to. The distant sounds of laughter can be heard, but also forewarning rumblings from the darker side of the human soul. This is a book for all seasons. Incredibly explicit yet soft and gentle; this book is destined to become a National bestseller!

Through the ages of growth, determination and self-recognition become a main focus as you mature into an adult. There will be trials, disappointments, and regrets we learn to accept and accommodate through our youth into adulthood. In a time when we want to please our family and make them proud of our every decision and endeavor comes misunderstanding and lack of patience and trust; all the while, we must stay focused on our dreams. The dreams we want to live in that also comes with sacrifice. We will experience childhood happiness. A father's pride to a teenager focused on her hopes and dreams to falling in love with the wrong family and betraying a father's pride and trust led to making her own way without the support of her family; she lives her dream before she realizes what has happened to find a new meaning of family and support to supplement the pain of being without her family and her love. Through all the sacrifices will came great reward of dreams come true and learning to trust.

Far too often, life’s challenges and questions cause people to fight feelings of doubt and despair, as they search endlessly for hope. In Singing in the Dark, Ginny Owens introduces the reader to powerful ways of drawing closer to God and how the elements of music, prayer, and lament offer rich, vibrant, and joyful communion with Him, especially on the darkest days. Ginny has gained a unique life perspective, as she has lived without sight since age three. She brings rich, biblical teaching that will encourage readers and compel them to dig deep into the beautiful songs, prayers, and poetry of Scripture—the same words through which the people of the Bible flourished in impossible circumstances. Singing in the Dark includes reflection and journaling prompts at the end of each chapter.
