From the Heart of a Prairie Farm Wife

By: Maurine Becotte

Maurine Becotte was born and raised in the farming community of Cut Knife Saskatchewan. She was the eldest daughter of Irwin and Margaret Duvall. Her dream was to become a veterinarian, but young women of her time did not become veterinarians so she followed "Societies Rules" and become a school teacher. After a few short years of teaching school Maurine met and married a true farmer, Emile Becotte, of the Seagram District. Together they raised their family of eight children on a mixed farm in the Baldwinton Area of Saskatchewan. They grew a variety of grain crops, but their passion was the herd of purebred Angus cattle that the built from meager beginnings. As their children we were not quite sure which meant more to them; the beautiful black cows that we all came to love or us as children. Neither one lacked for love or attention. Times were hard on the farm and there was always work to be done. Maurine always found time to create fun and joy in life for family, friends and neighbors. She always had the coffee pot on and time to chat with all who passed thru our yard. On one occasion a native family passed through in a horse drawn wagon and the young mother asked for some fresh water. Maurine being the kind person she was gave them the fresh water and a jar of fresh cows milk for the infant child. Some months later that same young woman thanked Mom again for her generosity. Maurine began writing poetry while attending college in 1940, and she continued to write throughout her life. Her poetry is highlighted with ideas that came from everyday life -- the beauties of nature, the love of family and community, the dedication to farm life in Saskatchewan, history, politics and war. In the 1970's and 1980's Maurine and two daughters compiled six volumes of her poetry under the name of Housewife Harmony Volumes 1 through 6. Maurine wrote poetry for some fifty plus years before ill health took away her capacity to write. She died in March, 1996, without achieving her one great wish to see her poetry published in one complete book. This book is the fulfillment of that dream. Rather than use Housewife Harmony as a title, I have chosen to call the book "From the Heart of a Prairie Farm Wife" because Mom truly wrote from the heart. The following pages will unveil the ability Maurine had in the stroke of the pen.

Ruby A. Black

Eleanor Roosevelt, Puerto Rico, and Political Journalism in Washington

By: Maurine H. Beasley

This book presents the story of Ruby A. Black, a feminist who broke new ground for women in Washington journalism in the 1920s and 1930s as a correspondent for a Puerto Rican newspaper and the first biographer of Eleanor Roosevelt. It offers access to the secret correspondence that shows how Black used her friendship with Roosevelt to advance the political career of Luis Muñoz Marín, Puerto Rico's first elected governor. The book describes Black’s effort, ultimately unsuccessful, to become both a well-regarded journalist and a political operative in the nation’s capital, a feat particularly difficult for a woman. It contends Black’s closeness to Roosevelt proved both a help and a hindrance to Black’s stature as a journalist.

Musings: Values, Virtues and Vices of Africa and Beyond

By: Maina Wahome, Wahu Kimani Maurine, Okechwuku Chidoluo Vitus

In the poems Musings, Values, Virtues And Vices Of Africa And Beyond, the poets engage the reader in intricate, intimate, and subtle questions about love and loathing, faith, and grief, Africa and beyond, climate change, and change of heart, feminism, and the trammels of patriarchy and society. I am primarily impressed with the bravery, sincerity, charity, and charm with which they excavate, tackle, and illuminate these issues. This is a rare, rewarding, reverberating, and relevant book that deserves to be read, devoured, and cherished for future generations~ Ndaba Sibanda, the author of The Immigrant With A Difference, Timebomb, and Cabinet Meetings. A confronting read which captures a continent’s frustrations. the book mourns the death of our values and virtues which have been hounded out repeatedly by the vices we wear without any vestige of shame. the poems are like bayonets, raw and unapologetic—Nate Gwenambira, author of Breakfast with Death. The poets give you an insider’s view of the complexities surrounding the African life in politics, love, marriage, genders, feminism, patriarchy, marriage, and society as a whole. Using subtle humor, they regale you with serious questions, light moments, the great and not-so-great parts about the African experience, and what it is like beyond.
