Flowering Plants of the World

Intended as a coffee table book for every household, Heywood became in the 1970's the "botany bible" that opened the eyes of world-traveling naturalists to the magnificent diversity of the world's flowering plants . At long last we had a chance to identify that fantastic tropical tree and what it was used for economically. To this day, 40 years later, I consult Heywood daily with joy. I have bought crates of this book to distribute as gifts to my students. It is true that contemporary plant systematists are revolutionizing the world of plant taxonomy with new molecular data, and deride Heywood as obsolete. Family names and relationships are in a maddening confusing state of flux, will change tomorrow. Heywood provides great practical and professional information under the traditional family names.

Tips for the Lazy Gardener

I read this book because there is no connection between me and person with a green thumb or an avid gardener.

Atha includes a calendar to advise you when to prepare and then when to actually plant. I learned the hard way that not all seeds and plants have the information attached to them so you know when and where to plant as well as how to take care of. There are countless time and money saving tips that make it easier to grow herbs and vegetables, roses, annuals, bulbs and even shrubs. Also included are tips on what equipment to use the first time instead of changing until you find the right one. It proves to be so much easier to start with the right equipment which allows you to save time.

With over 150 color photographs Atha makes it impossible for someone not to be able to think and act like a gardener even if they don't claim to be a gardener. You can see or read while you actually plant as the book is compact to carry around.

This book is a definite read for every gardener and especially the want to be gardeners out there.

Bible Flowers Overviews

In her fifth collection of poems Mary Kinzie continues to extend her formal reach, drawing out her lines with a quiet daring that reveals an elegiac thread in the most conversational cadences (a good example is her long poem "Cilantro," about erotic attraction). And while continuing to explore complex forms (quatrain, sonnet, ode, sestina) and to find her voice in syllabics, alcaics, and varieties of free verse, she also tries to bring unaccustomed subject matter into her ken. To call her themes merely "domestic" or "personal" is to fall short of the sense of elation and dread with which even the gentlest act of attention is performed. Kinzie is only "domestic" in the way Emily Dickinson is, and "personal" with the same severity toward confession that marks the poetry of Louise Bogan -- both writers of the sharp, condensed image, to whom she has been compared. But unlike them she is also engaged by expansive periods and interwoven sentences in the fashion of meditative poets from Horace to Stevens. Like her previous book, Autumn Eros, this new volume (including the long and substantial title poem) is distinguished by many moving poems about her daughter, written with the full understanding that the gift of this radiant being makes the mother vulnerable in a way she had never been -- a d also, for better or worse, more irrevocably connected to the world.

"Mary Kinzie's new book of poems, Ghost Ship, like all her work, in poetry and in criticism, is characterized by its moral intensity and rigor. Her seriousness is perpetually adventurous. Her adventurousness shows itself in the constantly surprising angles from which she sees things and in the extraordinarily wide variety of successful formal experimentation in her poems."
