The book is a collection of poems dealing with various themes, emotions and mental states, the overarching, unifying idea being memory. Past memories tend to possess both sad and joyous aspects to them, but in the final analysis, they somehow always turn out to be more positive than not. The poems try to address and highlight some of these recollections and reminiscences.

This is the fourth volume of The Karma of Self where the same narrator addresses the issue of Karma as an Aesthetic endeavour. In The Karma of Self the narrator makes the following statement: "There is life before the appearance of the aesthetic and there is life after this realization. Once the realization takes place it cannot be put back in the bottle, as it were. One's relation with the world and with one's Self are completely and forever changed for the better." The present volume is an attempt to explain that initial assessment and a meditation on the results of the inquiry.

This inspiring story will lead you through the many successes and failures faced by the National Guild for Community Arts Education as it seeks to gain its rightful place in the national spotlight. Written in a style that is part-history and part-memoir, this book takes the reader through periods of great stress when the association might well have folded.

A NOTE TO THE READER: What's killing your beloved community newspaper? The internet and search engines? The coronavirus pandemic? Many newspapers have closed their doors for good. Are newspaper employees, and the newspapers themselves, becoming "nonessential"? What does this mean for the thousands of industry professionals? Or millions of readers? DEEMED NONESSENTIAL is based on my 40 years in publishing. Many loyal newspaper subscribers miss "their paper." What do the closings mean to an industry that is part of our cultural makeup? What will it mean for those who don't trust where they get their news? How did it become this way? What can be done to fix it?

Eulba, a physicist and mathematician exploring modern theories on the universe, is equally immersed in the myths of the Mayan culture. She enjoys a unique romantic relationship with her boyfriend, Beloved. They are entangled in a relationship imbued with bliss, love, math, myth, and science, which remarkably, continues even after his ill-fated death. Through a series of life altering events, Eulba shuttles between myth and science, accepting the myths of the Maya, and finally entering the myth itself through an act of self-sacrifice at the end of the Mayan Long Count calendar. She comes to understand that myth and science mirror each other while representing the same reality from different vantage points. Nature remains the same while our beliefs and knowledge change. Eulba and Beloved's everlasting, unbounded love becomes an underlying powerful creative force that permeates everything, embracing both the Mayan myths and parallel universes.

This book is a Balondo-bakonja cook book that best describes the history and method of preparing Balondo Ekpang and other meals that form the people's gastronomical identity. In this context, the author's principal objective of bringing to light what Balondo people eat will help put an end to the inappropriate food stereotypes his people are ignorantly associated with by Cameroonians who still do not give them credit for their foods, especially Ekpang that they consume and relish routinely.

Fractured Frazzled Folk Fables and Fairy Farces is adult literature that satirizes classic children's folk tales, fables and fairy tales into more mature presentations featuring adult language, content and humor. Author Jay Dubya goes right to work retelling Aesop's Fables into "A Sap's Fables." Adult renditions of "The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse," "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," "The Wind and the Sun," "A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing," "The Lion and the Mouse," "The Crow and the Pitcher," and "The Rabbit and the Turtle" are all cleverly portrayed. Other famous fables rewritten into adult accounts are "The Fox and the Crow," "The Goose That Laid the Golden Egg," "The Grasshopper and the Ants," "The Lark and Its Offspring," "The Miller, His Son and the Jackass," "Belling the Cat" and finally "The Dog, the Fox and the Stream." Folk and Fairy Tales from England, France, Germany and Russia are also imaginatively assaulted and converted into adult-oriented stories. Jay Dubya thoroughly corrupts "The Three Little Piglet Brothers," "The Flashing Elves," "The Golden Goose's Goosing Curse," "The Notorious Sleeping Beauty" and "Petite Red Riding Hood." Other classic stories that are not saved from degeneration are "Jack's Magnificent Beanstalk," "Hansel and Gretel Dumkoff," "Little Ebony Sambo," "Rapunzel's Draping Hair" and "Tom Thumb's History." Finally, the author completely corrupts into adult parody rewrites "Peter W. and the Wolf," "The Rumpelstiltskin No-Spin Zone," "Beauty and the Beastly Beast," "Cinderella's Fella'" and the classic folktale "Flaky Snow White and the Seven Midgdwarfs." Fractured Frazzled Folk Fables and Fairy Farces is Jay Dubya's twenty-first book. This book is definitely not written for or to be read by children.
