Human Geography is a story about one woman's and one man's desire to share their love in a pursuit of having a family. At the same time, they are faced with an overreaching power that wants to stop them. So, they decide to risk all their comforts to experience that shared common goal, even when their noble passion provides them with little hope. But in the end their will to exercise their humanity to its fullest becomes a guiding light in this universal quest for individual and communal love. The setting is present or near future, and the place where the play is situated can make it a science-fiction play.

A Resting Place is a poetic exploration into the places where we seek out peace in times of anxiety. The poems were written over a 15 year period and are witnesses to the author's solitary moments in nature. We also find in these poems how the need to know about ourselves through nature is still important, as it was for Emerson or Thoreau a century and half ago. The book's structure imitates nature's cycle, beginning with spring, passing through all the seasons until that moment of rebirth.

She Bang Slam is slam poetry by a young American poet, Erik Wackernagel, who created these poems for his slam performances over the past two years, in the United States and in Quebec, Canada. The first part of She Bang Slam is compiled of shorter "semi-automatic rhymes," while section two is made up of Erik's longer eleven part series, "Carnival of Words." From the beginning to the end of She Bang Slam, Erik passionately questions the relationship between the contemporary use of "words" and the "images" that result. He does this by documenting how the "word-image has gone digitalized." Moreover, a reading of these "word-images" unfolds a novel "mythic consciousness" at work in our emerging posthuman culture.

And Terah took Abram . . . and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees.' The city Abraham left behind him - a city with good claims to being the oldest in the world - was rediscovered in 1854 by the then British Consul at Basra. But not until the end of World War I was serious excavation undertaken there. The results were so encouraging that four years later a joint British-American expedition, directed by the author of this book, worked on the site. The story of their discoveries made during years of work and covering the successive cities which were built on the site from days far beyond the flood until Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon, is here told, and the daily life of the peoples who lived through more than four millennia beside the Euphrates recreated in word and picture.
