This book contains the Collected Poetry of Cathy Smith, Vol. 1. Waiting for the Sunrise contains two Poetry-Photo chapbooks that span twenty years and many cross-country journeys across the USA, Southern Canada and northern Mexico. This is a sort of poetic diary done in free verse and augmented with some photographs of the memorable places the author has visited. This edition is in black and white due to pricing concerns. For the full-color digital edition and more photos, see the e-book. Besides this award-winning poetry volume, Cathy Smith has released a collection of literary fiction short stories: "Hidden Treasures".

Like Shining From Shook Foil: Selected Poems by Cathy Smith Bowers, award-winning Poet Laureate of North Carolina, brings together selections from four collections of poetry and 19 previously uncollected poems. The title of Ms. Smith Bowers' new collection epitomizes her way of writing from an abiding image and her ability to shine a light upon moments of intensity, joyous or painful.

This is another true adventure about my dog, Cheri, a not so standard poodle, and how she made our vacation on a houseboat on Lake Powell, Utah, so memorable and fun!
Hidden Treasures is a volume of 7 short literary-poetic-prose stories with socially progressive arguments. The stories range from themes of serendipity, racial harmony, cloning and property tax to a musing fantasy about making all right with the world. These stories are appropriate for older children, teens as well as adults.
I wrote and illustrated this book many years ago about my crazy standard poodle, Cheri, and her silly antics to make you laugh and to show you that standard poodles are not just fluffy, fancy show dogs. They are second only to border collies in intelligence and make wonderful, fun-loving pets. An added bonus is they don't shed, so they are allergy friendly. All the tales in this book are true and not exaggerated! As I tell my grandsons, dogs are angels God sends us to bring us joy and comfort and to teach us about love, caring, responsibility, and how to say goodbye since they don't live as long as we do.
