The Angels’ Share - Out of the chaotic nineteenth century period of reconstruction
comes former Sergeant Jack Grady of the Stonewall Brigade, his family, and a diverse
cast of southern characters trying to rebuild their ravaged land. In the summer of 1865,
Jack, his son, and two other veterans make an epic journey across the war-torn South.
Meet this beleaguered farm family from the Tennessee mountains and get a
perspective of our nation that transcends and enhances textbook history.
Pilgrim Heart - This collection reverberates with rural tradition, heartbreak, and
salvation. There are individual stories wrapped in historical events; a drummer boy at
the battle of Petersburg, a Confederate widow going through her dead husband’s
backpack, a peddler from Kansas who is not who he seems, murder on a Civil War
battlefield, a farm boy with a broken heart, and others. Included are essays about a dog
named Molly, a man’s last hunt, and boyhood recollections of the game of golf. The
poems concern themselves with nature, earth, sky, and human longings. All in all, it is
a compilation concerning the landscape of life. Order from: www.prairie-sky-press.com

Taking the Train.
- "The poems in this collection--by a poet-mother writing about her mutiply
handicapped boy-man--are partly like astonishing bits of news from a family
album, and partly like astonishing bits of news about the human condition in
general. These poems are deeply personal and acutely universal. Elaine
Palencia's son, Andrew, is seen from the outside and inside, in all of his
heroic and anti-heroic self. As a mother of a disabled son, I can vouch for the
veracity of these poems...there is devastating honesty in every line."

Pat Durmon, free-verse poet
Title: Blind Curves, a chapbook
Our lives are full of blind curves--- yours and mine. It will forever be
that way, so I am acknowledging it. Just nodding my head at how it
is. My work touches on nature, love, losses, death, memories.
Sudden color touches a still and wide moment and it becomes
brighter and more splendid. I like to think of my book as being in
your possession. One reviewer says: "Durmon's work is easy to
read, hard to forget."
Price: $11.00; includes all processing fees and mailing.
