Book excerpt: Presenting a new volume of poetry from the pen of Thomas William. His previous volume, Poems on Alaska and Other Planets, was very well received both here and abroad, and this new volume, Chant of the Gemini, will certainly further and enhance his growing reputation as an important American poet. Dr. William is versatile and finds inspiration in the nooks and crannies of life, his own and others. He certainly shoots a straight, direct arrow into the heart of his poetic matter, a matter of direct truth overcoming extraneous verbosity. He is a poet more concerned with the vegetables of daily living, the potatoes and peas of life, than with its exotic orchards. Read, and you will surely enjoy.

Book excerpt: What do we, as a society, do with our aged and ailing? A fortunate few spend their last years in small, caring rest homes like Placida House, where each resident is lovingly treated like a member of the family. Baby Dog Benji rules the roost, lavishing canine warmth and affection. Lee and Svea are the expert cook and housemother, absolutely indispensable and adored by all. Henry does the maintenance and takes care of the grounds and occasionally saves somebody's life. And Dr. William is the all-wise father figure who patiently steers Placida House safely through many a storm and keeps things running on an even keel. Set aside the cares of the day for a moment, and enter the safe haven of Placida House, where there's plenty of laughter, good spirits, comic absurdity, and heartwarming spiritual growth. Here it is that men come to grips with their mortality and their prejudices, and try to answer the questions of what's it all been about and what's it all for. But mostly, here is where they at last find peace, protection, happiness, and sincere acceptance.

Download or read book Poems on Alaska and Other Planets written by Thomas William and published by Writers Club Press. This book was released on 2000-07-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas William is a practicing psychotherapist and a published author. His previously published novel, The Alaskan Saga of Thomas Churchill O'Brien, a social satire of life in contemporary Alaska, reveals (exposes?) his love of laughter and his concern and awareness of what is best referred to as "the human condition." So, too, are these traits and feelings evident in this volume of poetry: sugar and spice, a laugh and a tear. Dr. William is John Doe, Mr. Everyman, and strives to exhibit(again, "expose"?) the feelings and fears seasoned with hope and humor of all of us who are temporarily confined or sentenced to this one life we all have to struggle with, to see to its completion. The poems herein adhere to no rigid standard of form. Scholarship is not their aim. They do, hopefully, flow freely with the poet's thoughts of the moment. Too, these poems follow no rigid psychological or philosophical intensity of sameness or pattern. A statement of passionate belief, a thought of the moment, may be followed a few poems later by an equally intense contradiction, again, the thought of that moment. Our attitudes and feelings are in a state of constant flux. Dr. William is sincerely convinced that all humans, in one form or another, have a touch of genius, be it baking wondrous cakes and bread, repairing broken-down engines, or dwelling on Einsteinian mathematics. Consequently, he also believes that he does not write his poetry, but that it merely flows from an unknown source through him as thoughts for his poetic interpretation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A riveting story of World War II and the courage of one young woman as she is drafted into Churchill’s overseas spy network, aiding the French Resistance behind enemy lines and working to liberate Nazi-occupied Paris… London, 1941: In a cramped bunker in Winston Churchill’s Cabinet War Rooms, underneath Westminster’s Treasury building, civilian women huddle at desks, typing up confidential documents and reports. Since her parents were killed in a bombing raid, Rose Teasdale has spent more hours than usual in Room 60, working double shifts, growing accustomed to the burnt scent of the Prime Minister’s cigars permeating the stale air. Winning the war is the only thing that matters, and she will gladly do her part. And when Rose’s fluency in French comes to the attention of Churchill himself, it brings a rare yet dangerous opportunity. Rose is recruited for the Special Operations Executive, a secret British organization that conducts espionage in Nazi-occupied Europe. After weeks of grueling training, Rose parachutes into France with a new codename: Dragonfly. Posing as a cosmetics saleswoman in Paris, she ferries messages to and from the Resistance, knowing that the slightest misstep means capture or death. Soon Rose is assigned to a new mission with Lazare Aron, a French Resistance fighter who has watched his beloved Paris become a shell of itself, with desolate streets and buildings draped in Swastikas. Since his parents were sent to a German work camp, Lazare has dedicated himself to the cause with the same fervor as Rose. Yet Rose’s very loyalty brings risks as she undertakes a high-stakes prison raid, and discovers how much she may have to sacrifice to justify Churchill’s faith in her . . .

Book excerpt: The Battle of Attu, which took place from 11-30 May 1943, was a battle fought between forces of the United States, aided by Canadian reconnaissance and fighter-bomber support, and the Empire of Japan on Attu Island off the coast of the Territory of Alaska as part of the Aleutian Islands Campaign during the American Theater and the Pacific Theater and was the only land battle of World War II fought on incorporated territory of the United States.
