    A poem provided in observance of National Poetry Month.


    Crystal Clear Blue Skies

    Towers weep on peaceful shores.

    Crystal clear blue skies.

    Across the water, we answered the call,
    Never questioning why.


    Race over the berm and down the road,
    Rebuilding ancient Babylon.

    Smiles, waves, and shouts of joy.

    Gratuities of hidden fire and roadside bombs.


    Blistering sun and mouths full of sand,
    White salt stains chalk the skin.

    Handshake through a turret gun sight,
    Peace attempted to win.


    Pain, anxiety, disillusionment,
    Seek comfort in each other.

    Go back again, one more time,
    Only for my sister or brother.


    James E.

    Hey everyone!

    Be sure to come to the library at 6pm on Sunday, October 14th for the screening of Mexican filmmaker Aaraón Diaz's film about migrant workers, "Migrantes: Los Que Venimos de Adentro" (Migrants: Those Who Come from Within).


    How often do you get to see a [free] film that changes your life?
  • Sep 9 2007 6:52 PM

    Thanks for the add. I hope you’ll check out my new tween novel, GIVING UP THE GHOST, set on a haunted plantation near New Orleans two years after Hurricane Katrina. It’s my dearest wish that my novel’s themes of fear, grief, and forgiveness, leavened with humor and gripped by a ghostly mystery, will bring comfort and healing to young teens living with uncertainty in unsettling times.


    KIRKUS says (9/15/07) it has “teen appeal in spades” and is “a good choice for reluctant readers”!
