Our Books:

Adult Fiction -

This story is about two years in the life of a young man, Wylie Cypher, who joins the U.S. Army in 1952 expecting to be trained in the Russian language at a base in Monterey, California. Instead, he finds himself on the front lines in Korea while the conflict is raging. He experiences combat, observes the Armistice declared and completes his tour of duty as a correspondent for an Army Public Information Office near the 38th Parallel and as a reporter for the Stars and Stripes in Tokyo.

During those sixteen months Wylie travels widely, both physically and metaphorically, throughout the "Far East Command" and interacts with a broad range of indelible characters. He finds adventure under unusual circumstances, and is exposed to many aspects of the “Army way.” There are both hilarious and poignant moments as Wylie navigates his way through a military experience which ranges from contact with enemy soldiers, confrontations with higher ranks, a tryst in a Yokohama apartment which has a tree growing through it, and adventures with troops of other nations. And, of course, he falls in love.

This is an intimate retelling of the “forgotten war,” with humor, passion and keen insight. Though he stumbles along the way, you won’t forget Wylie, and you will enjoy observing him grow up. There is probably a bit of Wylie in all of us.

Art/Poetry -

This is a compilation of Elizabethan poetry juxtaposed with photographs of flowers. Shakespeare, Donne, Campion, Herrick, Marlowe and many others are included in this 94 page book.

The author writes "Why pictures of flowers with the poetry? Well, I suspect there won't always be an appropriate backdrop for thinking about the words and sentiments these poets express so well. And, though these poems are anything but "flowery," I believe they evoke a sense of flowers: multi-hued, intricately constructed, amazing in detail and elevating of spirit. Flowery language connotes rhetorical elegance, which all these works certainly have."

These two art forms compliment each other and represent a graceful, though brief, return to a world free of buzzing digital accoutrements. The introduction encourages the reader to "read a poem, enjoy a flower picture. It couldn't hurt."

For Equestrians -
