Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Pier Giorgio Di Cicco first appeared on the Canadian literary scene in the early 1980s, he was immediately recognized as one of the most compelling voices of his generation. The Last Effort of Dreams is the first critical collection on Pier Giorgio Di Cicco and traces the steps of his career from different perspectives. The contributors, fellow poets and academics alike, ponder Di Cicco’s poetry in diverse ways: through reminiscence, by taking stock, and by focusing on individual texts and specific themes. What emerges is an intriguing composite picture of Di Cicco’s complex and unique identikit. The volume includes both scholarly analysis and testimonials by individuals who lived the literary history of which Di Cicco is a part. The inclusion of a bibliography of Di Cicco’s publications and of those about him makes this book a valuable tool for anyone approaching his works for the first time and anyone interested in contemporary North American minority literatures or contemporary Canadian literature.

Through a mysterious series of events, the Navigator fell into the world of tarot cards. Once there, our hero went head to head with seven strange birds, twelve bizarre characters, and a camel-all different aspects of the mystical deck of cards-who helped on the way to adventure and enlightenment. In volume two, the Navigator is back in the world of cards; only this time, it's time to meet royalty. The Navigator comes to know the Court Cards of the mystic deck: the Queens, Kings, Pages, and Knights. The Navigator travels from one castle to the next, but in order to get through this strange world safely, several difficult riddles must be solved that could spell life or death in the pages of fate. The Court Cards are not easy to handle. They have separate, strong personalities that make them difficult to outsmart-and difficult to put up with. But the Navigator must make it through this new adventure to move on to the final voyage into the magical deck of tarot cards. Although a work of fiction, extensive knowledge of Hermetic Cabala and tarot is woven within, to teach readers and entertain in this court intrigue of danger and death.

Since his retirement from diving, Keith has been coaching and grooming national champions and Olympians. The former President of the United States Professional Diving Coaches Association, Inc., Keith coached the U.S. National Teams at the 1999 and 2001 World Student University Games.
