Book excerpt: Warren Leight burst onto Broadway with the Tony Award-winning play Side Man. Now Leight returns to the broken lives of jazzmen with Glimmer, Glimmer and Shine, which Donald Lyons in the New York Post declared "a marvelous ... play ... of jazzmen who made a mess of their lives, and a new generation without their demons." At the height of the big-band era, no other horn trio could wail like Glimmer, Glimmer and Shine. The only thing that could break them apart was life on the road -- full of drugs, women, and alcohol. For thirty-five years secrets have been buried and enmity has simmered. It is only when Daniel Glimmer's sheltered daughter, Delia, who never knew of her father's illustrious past, has a chance encounter with Eddie Shine's son, Jordan, that the old comrades in music are reconciled and their resentment buried. "Leight's writing remains quick, graceful and generous -- a worthy companion piece to Side Man." -- Linda Winer, Newsday "A thought-provoking and evocative play, rich with substance and resonance." -- Ed Kaufman, The Hollywood Reporter "Glimmer, Glimmer and Shine is like an evening of good jazz -- sometimes raucous, sometimes bubbly, but deeply affecting." -- Howard Kissel, New York Daily News

Rising sea level and devastating superstorms have flooded much of Manhattan and wrecked its infrastructure.

This inviting volume is a rich and varied collection of poems, an anthology which gives meaning to the Why of poetry. Enriched with humor, storytelling, and historical bits, it will appeal not only to lovers of poetry, but to those who wish to give poetry a second chance, having perhaps been compelled by an English teacher to torture meaning out of a 'famous' poem. The poems gathered here - ancient to modern; a few lines to many; serious to funny - are organized around nine core personality types as described by the Enneagram, an ancient map of transformation melded with modern psychology. Whether your personality is naturally withdrawn, dutiful, or assertive you will find poems to remind you of your gifts, warn you of your greatest pitfalls, and inspire you to live your best self. Dr. Van Zino brings together her long experience of working with people as a family doctor, teacher and coach with her love of literature, helping others to explore the rich potential for healing and growth inherent in each of us.
