Liberty's Quest

The Compelling Story of the Wife and Mother of Two Poetry Pulitzer Prize Winners, James Wright and Franz Wright

By: Liberty Kovacs MFT MSN,Liberty Kovacs

Liberty Kovacs' life story has all the elements of the American Dream, both its myth and its reality. Breaking free from the patriarchal rule of her Greek immigrant family, she set an uneasy but independent course that led to her becoming a nurse and marrying fellow Ohioan, the poet James Wright. Headed for the fabled Land of Happiness, Life broke in with all its unpredictable misery: living in Minneapolis with their two sons, the marriage was soon riven by alcoholism, angers, unspeakable trauma and eventually bitter divorce. Bereft but courageous, Liberty set a new course and headed west to San Francisco where she had a scholarship to study psychiatric nursing. A single mother, she experienced triumphs in her profession, married again and bore a third son - that household too fell victim to unhappiness and despairs. Yet with each blow, her spirit rose again and again, never giving up on herself or her sons, whom she writes about with disarming openness. -Merrill Leffler, publisher of Dryad Press, author of Partly Panemonium, Partly Love, Take Hold

I Want a Baby, He Doesn't

How Both Partners Can Make the Right Decision at the Right Time

By: Donna J. Wade

I Want a Baby, He Doesn't—from a woman who has personally experienced, and mutually resolved, this issue with her husband and a licensed marital therapist—advises couples on how to work with each other to reach the best possible resolution without destroying the relationship. Whether it's merely a matter of timing, emotional unreadiness, financial challenges, or a deeper issue between a man and woman, I Want a Baby, He Doesn't is completely unbiased in its approach as it helps couples arrive at the right decision as partners—even if it means waiting until both are ready or discovering in some situations that the best solution is deciding not have children at all.
