Snakeskin Stilettos is the debut and introduction to an American readership of Irish poet Moyra Donaldson's abilities to craft verse that is simultaneously accessible, disciplined, imaginative, entertaining, and memorable. Lust: Bearded old satyr,/the wind from the hills/is thick with your scent,/musty yet fresh,/a confusion of seasons.//Comfortable in the house of Pentheus,/with its fitted concepts,/its rational doors, leading always/from one place to the next,/she forgot you--became only human.//Then you rear again at her window,/swirled in your own myth./Lines from an ancient script/calling her out into the hills,/where coiled snakes will lick her face/in the back seat of a parked car.

Summer Ball

The book, Summer Ball was one of my all time favorite books. It is the sequel to the book Travel team. If you don't read the first one you won't understand most of it. Both are very inspiring novels and have inspired me. If you like basketball you'll like this book. It is about a boy named Danny Walker who everyone thinks is too small to play basketball in the NBA, like his father Richie. He attends the biggest basketball camp in the country where his coach tells him the same thing. Will Danny give in to everyone, or will he follow his dream and play basketball. It has an inspiring theme and a great plot. It is one of Mike Lupica's best books too me. This I think, might be my favorite book.

Knuckles deep-down to the core of the matter...

There is a fundamental truth to all of Chris Meeks' writing which defies the standard literary form. Whether as a dramatist, a pragmatist, or a futurist, Meeks' works traverse that sensitive and permeable membrane between reality and fiction; always leaving an indelible imprint. Less an entertaining yarn -- which this story so genuinely is -- and more an instructive machete cutting through the claptrap of the "live-decadently" poobahs, The Sun is a Billiard Ball portends a possible tragic scenario anyone of us might find ourselves in at any given time in life. For instance, in reading about the character Albert's travails, I was right there with him as he underwent his examination, cringing along with him as his physician coldly went about his diagnosis. I felt deeply and intrinsically what character Jazz must have been sensing as she received the sordid news of her irreversible fate -- a still-pernicious malaise the developed world is so shockingly flippant about.

Meeks chose these particular characters, I believe, because he had to deliver this vital message via this form. Meeks doesn't claim to be a polemicist, and neither should any writer in truth be. Yet the voice which beckons from these pages doesn't merely leap -- it ricochets -- into your grey matter and sticks there.

Billiard Ball will move you to action. It will inspire you to change your ways, to alter your more corrosive habits. You know, the ones we all find facile one-off excuses to continue doing, only to pay that burdensome price months later when we least expect it. There are no free lunches, and Meeks makes this painfully clear.

You won't be the same after reading this story. This 30-odd page tale is less day-in-the-life story, but more a call to action for Ms. and Mr. Everyman.

I encourage more of the same. I suspect part of the reason author Meeks hasn't posted more similar compelling tales is because it -- and god-forbid (tongue firmly in cheek) -- might shock us into a permanent and positive change.

Billiard Ball will get you to reassess the way you look at waking up in the morning to the things you place in your mouth as food. You'll see yourself in the mirror differently, to be sure, and this is the real mastery of Meeks' writing.

While others are out there seeking futile answers from the usual suspects of drugs, alcohol, and self-disrepect, within a tight handful of pages Billiard Ball at least offers you more than a palm frond of hope.

Like a magnet, it will coax you along a path. If it doesn't, you don't have a pulse.

I am encouraged at the material in this book. Unlike some books read in classrooms across America, this book would be a real assest. It teaches how some must do without, but learn to turn that problem into a blessing for others, as well as themselves. Being homeless is a problem most people in this country may never face, but many are a paycheck away from not being able to buy groceries for their families. Very inspirational, and realistic.

These radio episodes have an effective way of keeping the listener at the edge of their seat. Lucille Ball's performance was no exception. Here, she comes out of the ditsy housewife roles she's so famous for and plays a conniving seducing witch who will stop at nothing to get her way. I highly recommend listening to these with the lights turned off or down low.

Detailed instructions for 12 projects
Helpful Votes: 60 out of 60 total.
Review Date: 2000-01-30
This book brings the traditional Japanese art of Temari, decorative balls wrapped with thread, within the realm of any craftsperson. Styrofoam balls and materials available in any fabric shop are all you will need.

While some practice and patience are required, the detailed step-by-step instructions, wonderful diagrams and consistent terminology will guide you to success. Using pins to mark the pattern and align the threads is the key.

Twelve complete projects are taken from start to finish. These include a variety of geometric patterns and my favorites, the beautiful floral patterns. For variety there is a spinning top ornament plus tassels that can be added.

There is a great color photo gallery showing off the fabulous color and detail that can be achieved with these projects. Making these Temari will give you a sense of pride and accomplishment, and heirloom ornaments to treasure.

Best layperson psychiatry book ever!
Helpful Votes: 3 out of 4 total.
Review Date: 2001-01-07
I had to take a course in psychiatry for my Naturopathic degree and one of the possible books to choose from was this one. What an awesome book. The authors don't use excessive specialist medical jargon or make the field out to be only for the elitist, they write in a very clear and informative manner. I learned so much from their easy to follow diagnosis and symptom blocks and the chapters are well arranged and it is easy to find information thanks to a very good index. For any college student this is a great psychiatry book, it might not be as thorough as some of the larger psychiatric textbooks, but for someone like me just completing a module of psychiatric disorders it was an excellent source of reference.
