From nursery rhymes, to advertising, to most forms of popular music, both children and adults like rhyme. Sadly, modern poetry has generally eschewed rhyme in favor of free-verse. Robert Frost once remarked that "free-verse is like playing tennis with the net down." I would add that today it's also playing tennis on an unmarked court. In the academic world, the "prose poem" is in, and the traditional rhymed poem is out. My book runs counter to this aspect of modernity. Yet, admittedly, a few of my poems below are cinquains, which is a form of poetry with 22 syllables in 5 lines (2-4-6-8-2). The lines may or may not rhyme. I hope that this book of 89 diverse poems from various perspectives will entertain and at least occasionally instruct the reader. Some have been published in such varied journals as Westward Quarterly, Big Pulp, Soul Fountain, Poet's Digest, and The American Dissident.
Fortunate to be located in the northwest corner of Oregon, where the mighty Columbia River flows to the Pacific Ocean, Astoria has always inspired residents and visitors. The town s spectacular natural beauty and accessible everyday life invites documentation. Those lucky enough to experience Astoria sense they are witnessing something special. More than a century ago, it was a place of big fish, big trees, big dreams, and big personalities. Luckily, many professional photographers and everyday shutterbugs made it their business to capture life on the Lower Columbia from the earliest days of photography. Today, there are fewer giant Chinooks and the remaining old growth is protected, but the town, dreams, personalities, and photographs remain."

Earl J. Glade was instrumental in helping push (or pull) Utah into the modern world. His influence extended to broadcasting, government, religion and education. He understood those institutions, and he recognized that they offered a synergy of ecumenism necessary to build cultural and functional bridges across boundaries of communication, politics, economics and social interaction. Glade understood that bridge building was vital for the success of his country, state, city and, especially, his LDS religion. His was a broad and interwoven worldview. He and his cohort of contemporary visionaries interacted amicably and respectfully to achieve Community improvements for the benefit of all. As a result, both the local community and the entire state became century-long beneficiaries of Earl Glade's vision. -- G. Donald Gale
Moral Injury is now recognized as a growing major problem for military men and women. Operant conditioning can overwhelm moral convictions and yet the question of whether ""to shoot or not to shoot"" often will never have a settled answer. Certain theories and treatment models about MI have been well developed, but too often overlook root issues of religious faith. The authors propose a new model for understanding moral injury and suggest ways to mitigate its virtually inevitable occurrence in pre-combat training, and ways to resolve MI post-trauma with proven spiritual resources. People outside the military, too, among whom the incidence of MI also is a growing threat, will benefit from this analysis. The stories of the injured--their shaping and their telling--are the key, and there are many illumining stories of moral injury and recovery. Those who suffer MI, their families, and caregivers, including counselors, pastors, and faith communities, will find hope-giving first steps toward the healing of MI in this book. ""Books on moral injury often culminate with this message--such wounds need the healing of forgiveness. Concepts and practices presented by Duane Larson and Jeff Zust provide much-needed insight about soul care. Their ideas and experiences offer the balm of grace and thoughtful attention to forgiveness."" --Eric Wester, Chaplain, Retired US Army, Lutheran Pastor ""War is always ugly. Moral injury is the result of some of this ugliness and when it comes to moral injury, rank doesn't matter. My colleague Jeff Zust, and his co-author Duane Larson have written a book that dives into this important subject with the professionalism, expertise, and compassion needed to help all combatants, their families, and friends understand and deal with the resulting ugliness."" --Richard B. Myers, General, USAF, Ret., 15th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, President of Kansas State University ""Over my years of teaching professional military ethics, moral injury has increasingly become a topic in classroom discussions. During the years we worked together, Jeff Zust taught me most of what I know about moral injury. I draw on his ideas frequently, and my work will no doubt be enriched by the book Jeff and Duane Larson have written."" --Albert C. Pierce, Professor of Ethics and National Security, National Defense University, Washington, D.C. ""Military service can lead to invisible injuries that push traditional boundaries between body, mind, heart, and soul. In turn, holistic and collaborative approaches are needed to restore belonging and purpose with service members and veterans. Grounded in careful scholarship and firsthand ministry experiences, this important book will aid anyone working to heal moral injuries in this population."" --Joseph M. Currier, Director of Clinical Training, Combined Clinical and Counseling Psychology Doctoral Program, University of South Alabama ""During a low ebb in our national identity, Duane Larson and Jeff Zust provide a comprehensive pastoral response to the quagmire of moral injury that should win an award in the finest of public theology. This text is a clear eyed assessment of the soldier as moral actor, of the complexity of combatant experience, and of moral injury. The book never loses sight of the displacing power of cruelty, yet alongside the truth of divine solidarity as the source of human hope. Care for the Sorrowing Soulmatches the humility of its authors with the competence of what they know, and I will carry its lessons with me for a long time. There are indeed lots of implications for the rest of us "" --Michael Reid Trice, Associate Professor of Theological Ethics and Constructive Theology, Seattle University Duane Larson is senior pastor of Christ the King Lutheran Church, Houston, Texas. A systematic theologian, he also teaches at the University of Houston, Texas. Duane has written and lectured widely on theology and science, ethics, and ecumenical and interf

Will summer break be a drag or a blast for meticulous Shermy when rambunctious Shake moves in next door? From Newbery Honor recipient Kirby Larson comes a bighearted chapter book about two boys' friendship. When a new kid comes to stay with his grandmother at the house next door, Shermy's plans for a quiet, relaxing summer are completely upended. That's because Shake is nothing like Shermy. And Shermy is nothing like Shake. Shermy likes to read quietly in the shade of a tree. He knows the proper way to do a puzzle. He collects treasures in the pouch he wears around his neck, and the books on his shelves are alphabetized by author. Shake likes to play street hockey or space explorers. He gobbles up rocket ice pops and Toaster Tarts. He shows up unannounced and plays board games by his own rules. As the two boys are forced to spend more and more time together, will they learn how to get along? Or will it be one long countdown until Shake goes home? Newbery Honor recipient Kirby Larson teams up with debut illustrator Shinji Fujioka to create a humorous and heartfelt ode to summer--and to unexpected friendships.
Shermy is excited to learn the new kid in school is none other than his pal Shake, but what if the other kids like Shake better? The two friends' story, from Newbery Honoree Kirby Larson, continues with heart and humor. Being a second grader is even cooler than Shermy imagined. He loves reading new stories (and filling out charts about them ), helping his teacher get organized, and being a good classroom leader. So when the teacher asks Shermy to be a school buddy for the new kid, Shermy says, "Sure " Imagine his surprise when the new kid turns out to be Shake--Shermy's summer friend from out of town. This is amazing news Or is it? Meticulous Shermy and boisterous Shake couldn't be more different, and soon the other kids are all looking at Shake like he's a super rare Magic Monster card--and not looking at Shermy at all. Can Shermy and Shake stay buddies now that school is in session? A nuanced story about friendship that shines with authentic humor and understanding, from Newbery Honoree Kirby Larson and illustrator Shinji Fujioka.
