Retribution By: Anne Marie Erskine Retribution focuses on the lives of six female bullies, the harm they cause, and the ironic twist they themselves create for their demise. While the subject of the novel itself is serious-bullying-the characters and their deserved endings are, in many ways, exaggerated dark comedies that will surprise and delight the reader, especially those readers who have suffered from the torment of a bully. Retribution presumes that all choices have consequences; that innocents must be protected at all costs; that people have the power, the right, and the duty to stand up for and protect innocents no matter the cost. The hero, Gemini Jones, is a sensitive but strong and resolute character who shows how to help Justice deliver its rightful reckoning. She is a role model for all heroes who desire to bring good and light to the world. Retribution is a novel of hope and satisfaction for those who have been bullied and know that evil must be punished and defeated. It is a novel for all who believe in Justice and want to see it prevail. In the end, Justice always reigns when GOOD fights for it.

Night Fires

By: Anne Marie Erskine

Night Fires By: Anne Marie Erskine Night Fires is a collection of poems birthed by the power of creating that lives in all of us – but some people are called to that art through an unstoppable presence that compels expression. That presence I call Night Fires, primarily because for me that urgency awakens me at night when dreams have formed the essence of expression in the dark of the psyche, bringing forth the rhythms of thought demanding form. As such, Night Fires is the essence of the cycle of life: birth and death, birth and death. It is life ever beginning, death transforming it, and life giving it new form again. The cycle is continuous. The subjects of poetry are both personal and universal and found primarily in the human knowing Carl Jung named “the collective unconscious,” which contains archetypes that are universal mental predispositions not grounded in experience, existing independently and known directly by the mind, occurring in all cultures in some form. Critics of this philosophy object to it primarily because it is “difficult to test scientifically,” as if human thought, desire, fear, faith, love, hate can be placed under a microscope. I believe in the “soul of humanity” that connects us all to one another; therefore, I write about things I “know,” communicating the human experience that belongs to no one race, no one culture, no one country, but to us all. All of creation is connected. I believe that all life exists now—those who have died, those who live, those yet to be born exist now—and that the answers to all things exist now. We simply have to search to discover those answers. The human self knows right from wrong. We know when we have chosen one or the other. We know who we are by those choices. We know our form and substance and we are all in need of more consideration to refine our very beings to be a more perfect form. Poetry can give us insight into doing exactly that.

Unwrapped

By: Anne Erskine

Unwrapped By Anne Marie Erskine Words are changeable things with properties like numbers. Words and numbers take on different faces and different values depending on how they develop and what their context is. Words are continuous shapeshifters. Within the mind of a writer, words are a constant presence – hiding, peeking, teasing; seeking to be discovered, revealed, valued, and placed artfully into expression. Words are slippery entities, daring us to catch them and make them behave – be exact within contents, creating the mood, tone, and metaphor we desire. The title Unwrapped refers to the desire to reveal those qualities of words - unwrapping their essence to fit and extend, to spark and to blend in order to communicate meaningfully. Yet the title Unwrapped also refers to the collection of poems that expose the various values of what has been discovered in that unwrapping, presenting not only the unwrapping of words, but also the unwrapping of experiences. Poetry is the perfect art form for unwrapping essences of experience because poetry was created so the story of mankind could be memorized, recited, passed on - enabling us to recall the profound. Poetry is the art of remembering, connecting us intimately, reminding us we are never alone. The experience of the past is the experience of the now is the experience of the future. Nothing is separate. We are connected to all that has ever been, is now, and will be. Words are powerful, but actions are even more so. Beware those who think they can fool The People. We are poets in our very beings. We will unwrap and expose. That is the power and purpose of our art.

Banned Books, 387 B.C. to 1978 A.D.

By: Anne Lyon Haight,Chandler B. Grannis

The materials that publishers, booksellers, librarians, educators, writers--and readers, too--must defend in the everyday business of disseminating literature are more open, frank, and challenging than ever before. I hope that this edition of Banned Books will lead readers further into the issues it raises. The old basic areas of censorship remain--doctrine, sex, secrecy, security. The points of conflict keep shifting. The bureaucracy, but also by the social climates; not only by official suppression, but by the writer's or editor's expurgation"--Page ix.
