Reviewer said: Pulse Points of a Woman's World, Third Printing By Sylvia L. Parsons-Ramsey Inspirational Poetry. Completely illustrated with a flavor of art nouveau design. Four sections of book are like a walk through life taking us from the carefree times of youth to the later years when life has brought with it glimpses of wisdom. Sylvia is a bladder cancer survivor, and she donates the royalties from her books to the American Bladder Cancer Society. Sections of the Book: Pulse Points of Youth Pulse Points of Love Pulse Points of Reality Pulse Points of Wisdom The book may best be described by others who have read the book and wrote the following: Life like a lace doily is carefully wrought with dainty touch. It is as frail as thread and as strong as rope. Author, Sylvia Ramsey reminds us of this in her book titled, Pulse Points of a Woman's World, by doing so; the author causes us to stop for a few moments to reflect, in a world that grows increasingly crazy. The reader is inspired to look at things that really matter. This book of poetry is divided into sections that are very much like our walk through life and it reminds us that we all share many of the same fears, hopes and dreams. Something about this book is also powerfully healing. Perhaps it is the expression or evocation of emotions that most of us were taught to ignore and deny. Perhaps it is the absence of vengeance. It is a beautiful book in words and illustrations.

"Denuncia y defiende tu derecho a la Vida. Denuncia y sostén tu sobrevivencia; y si aún así no te sientes fuerte para denunciarlo, puedes acudir a mí sin duda, pero por favor, la vida es sagrada, solo Dios o la Divinidad en que creas puede llevarnos cuando nos llegue la hora, no un cobarde que abusa de nosotras; ¡DENUNCIA!, por todas las mujeres que han sido asesinadas, por todas las mujeres que hemos resucitado, y por Ti misma, porque todas esta- mos en Ti."(Italian translation by Frank Iodice) "Denuncia e difendi il tuo diritto alla vita. Denuncia e preserva la tua sopravvi- venza. E se non ti senti ancora forte per farlo, io sono qui per te. Ma per favore, la vita è sacra, solo Dio o la divinità in cui credi ci può venire a prendere quando arriva l'ora, non un codardo che abusa di noi. Denuncia! Per tutte le donne che sono state assassinate, per tutte le donne salvate dalla morte, e per te stessa, perché tutte siamo in te." "Denounce and defend your right to Live. Denounce and support your survival; and if you still do not feel strong enough to denounce it, do not hesitate to reach out to me. But, please, life is sacred, only God or the Divinity you believe in canDENOUNCE!take us when the time comes, not a coward who abuses us; DENOUNCE! Do it for all the women who have been murdered, for all the women we have resurrected, and for Yourself, as we are all a part of You."

Emmanuel Kane has never been a soldier, but he has great respect for those who have served and sacrificed for the freedom we hold so dear.';I have a good friend who served in the second World War. My son's godfather was a General in the U.S. Army. Some of my brothers in the Knights of Columbus served in Vietnam, and I have many friends and students who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Over the years, I have been touched by the stories they have told me about their military experiences. Stories about the horrible things they had to do, how they came to terms with those things, and their longing for home,' he says.Emmanuel Kanes Growing Flames: Fury and Lavender, is a brilliantly conceived poetic feast. The poet demonstrates a remarkable breadth of knowledge and a stirring imagination full of tropes and metaphors that truly make this a great book. Kane masters the history, literature, and moral ethics that makes his poetry live in the present. Using the military and martial examples he brings truth in words to life.Molefi Kete Asante, author of Facing South to Africa With powerful imagery and language, Emanuel Kane takes his readers to places where they may not want to go. No one wants to experience war, suffering and death, but the world can't turn a blind eye to it either. Many of these poems are uncomfortable and hard to read, but poetry doesn't have to be pretty. Kane pulls the reader from the comfort of a chair into a world of uncertainty, where many people live out their daily lives. This is not an uplifting book, but it is a call to action, a call to care for our fellow man.Jonathan K. Rice, Editor/Publisher, Iodine Poetry JournalHere are the words of no return. Emanuel Kane writes about war and refugees. Here is the verse of headlines. This collection of poems is troubling. There is blood on many of the pages. Its a reminder that the present is a dangerous place to live. Kane writes about Isis and Miriam Makeba wailing from the grave. He knows the beautiful ones have yet to be born.E. Ethelbert Miller, Poet/Educator/Literary ActivistIn Growing Flames, he captures the disappointments, fury, and melancholy of a young soldier in a very realistic manner. His poems are multi-layered. Most of his poems contain a satirical twist that provides a deeper insight into war, beyond the literal meaning, and that makes readers pause and say, ';Ah.' These poems will speak to readers today because of the continuing wars and conflicts throughout our world.Dr. Sylvia A. Holladay, English Professor, University of South FloridaKane's Growing Flames: Fury and Lavender is a collection of 95 poems divided into four sections. Each section addresses different perspective on war, political corruption, killer disease outbreaks, and depraved indifference. Each poem uniquely touches on personal effects to the human soul. His powerful words challenge us to be aware, to take a stand to listen and hear, to look and to see. This book reaches your very corps with carefully crafted prose.Liane Larocque, PhD/editor/author
