Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poems from this book are closely tied to my work as a decoy carver. Without those carvings there likely would have been no poetry. It began in the Iowa State University Library when, while neglecting my Fisheries and Wildlife studies, I randomly picked up the book Decoys and Decoy Carvers Of Illinois and was immediately taken by a black duck done by an unknown carver. My ever supporting wife, Karen, having been told of the incident, secretly purchased a fine white pine board and with an old draw knife carving began. On the bottom of a decoy is a blank space which is often used for the maker's name and address, and as my decoys after a time took on, for me, a spiritual aspect, I began burning in snippets of gospel hymns as well. "Yes, we'll gather at the river", "Oh, come angel band", "I'll fly away", etc. Also quotations or bits of poems from Albert Einstein, Walt Whitman, Thoreau or William Cullen Bryant etc. I had written several poems decades earlier but after seeing a rhyming ad on TV for Ford trucks I thought "I can do that" and, as a way of gaining an audience, replaced the words of others with my own. The first poems were of actual hunting events. With the apparent rediscovery of the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker (IBW) in 2006, a new avenue of carving and poetry opened up. It did not have to be ducks, geese, and hunting poetry forever. What a revelation! Eventually, I carved and gave away (among many others) over sixty IBWs, and they are in National Parks, National Wildlife Refuges, National Preserves, universities, welcome centers, and private hands in many states. After volunteering at the Leopold Landscape Alliance, a local organization which owns the two childhood homes of Aldo Leopold and promotes the study of his legacy and environmental education, still more opportunities for new work were presented. So there has been a journey of sorts for both carving and poetry; from a narrow path to a broader one, from hunting to environmental concerns. Here it is. - Dean S. Hurliman

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: VOGUE • FORBES • BOOKPAGE • NEW YORK POST • WIRED “I have not been as profoundly moved by a book in years.” —Jodi Picoult Even after she left home for Hollywood, Emmy-nominated TV writer Bess Kalb saved every voicemail her grandmother Bobby Bell ever left her. Bobby was a force—irrepressible, glamorous, unapologetically opinionated. Bobby doted on Bess; Bess adored Bobby. Then, at ninety, Bobby died. But in this debut memoir, Bobby is speaking to Bess once more, in a voice as passionate as it ever was in life. Recounting both family lore and family secrets, Bobby brings us four generations of indomitable women and the men who loved them. There’s Bobby’s mother, who traveled solo from Belarus to America in the 1880s to escape the pogroms, and Bess’s mother, a 1970s rebel who always fought against convention. But it was Bobby and Bess who always had the most powerful bond: Bobby her granddaughter’s fiercest supporter, giving Bess unequivocal love, even if sometimes of the toughest kind. Nobody Will Tell You This But Me marks the creation of a totally new, virtuosic form of memoir: a reconstruction of a beloved grandmother’s words and wisdom to tell her family’s story with equal parts poignancy and hilarity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When she is four years old Amra Pajalić realises that her mother is different. Fatima is loving but sometimes hears strange voices that tell her to do bizarre things. She is frequently sent to hospital and Amra and her brother are passed around to family friends and foster homes, and for a time live with their grandparents in Bosnia. At sixteen Amra ends up in the school counsellor's office for wagging school. She finally learns the name for the malady that has dogged her mother and affected her own life: bipolar disorder. Amra becomes her mother's confidante and learns the extraordinary story of her life: when she was fifteen years old Fatima visited family friends only to find herself in an arranged marriage. At sixteen she was a migrant, a mother, and mental patient. Surprisingly funny, Things Nobody Knows But Me is a tender portrait of family and migration, beautifully told. It captures a wonderful sense of bicultural place and life as it weaves between St Albans in suburban Australia and Bosanska Gradiška in Bosnia. Ultimately it is the heartrending story of a mother and daughter bond fractured and forged by illness and experience. Fatima emerges as a remarkable but wounded woman who learns that her daughter really loves her.
