Charming, humorous, sometimes tragic, and always fascinating vignettes from a life spent in craftsmanship.They say life is a merry-go-round--for Gerry Holzman, this has been literally and figuratively true. A master figure carver who has restored over 100 pieces of antique carousel art, created 250 pieces of original carousel carving, and was the head carver and executive director of New York's landmark Empire State Carousel Project, Holzman has devoted the past 50 years to woodcarving, and his skill has taken him around the world as a student, teacher, craftsman, and artist. Throughout this giddy merry-go-round of a career, he has encountered many intriguing ways to use our brief time on earth and invites us to accompany him as he strives to understand and appreciate them all.Wanderings of a Wayward Woodcarver is Holzman's record of a lifetime spent in the craft and the many lessons it has taught him about what it means to be a carver and what it means to be a human being, plus a recounting of the many memorable characters he has met along the way.From master carver Gino Masero, who taught Holzman much about carving, life, creativity, and decency, to Holzman's students who touched his life deeply, to a sign carver who could not read, a witch who invited Holzman to visit her coven, and the mafioso who showed Holzman how to prevent his carvings from being stolen, Wanderings of a Wayward Woodcarver shows how a life in craft is the perfect viewpoint to see the whole of the human condition.

Little Heretic presents one person’s pilgrimage back to the New York of his youth, where the City is seen not for the ghosts of junkies, musicians and ex-lovers that haunt it, but for the spiritual and creative possibility lurking in alleys and parks, and celebrated by street corner buskers and subway graffiti. A twenty-first century poet in New York, this book looks at how in the right light of a Manhattan morning, a pigeon flying across First Avenue just might be one of Rilke’s angels.
Palpable Magic features re-readings and reviews of such late 20th Century poets as Anne Sexton, Larry Levis, Charles Wright, Patricia Goedicke, and Wendell Berry, as well as provides commentaries on poetic craft, the prose poem, and what it means to be a poet.LaFemina’s musings on poetry are fascinating and curious; the re-readings are not old grounds covered in old measures but as poems and books seen fresh, candidly, sometimes irreverently but always respectfully.LaFemina is a shrewd critic, and these essays cause us to become necessarily inquisitive and curious. He shows his readers, time and again, that poetry is magical, intense, and necessary to our lives.

Plan to Pivot shares firsthand stories that demonstrate the urgency and uniqueness of current operating conditions, and a new way to design and lead organizations.In a total career pivot to higher education, in an executive role at one of the world’s finest public universities, Gerry Starsia was surprised to find that in general, there was little interest in planning or systems or measuring operating performance. This reality drove him to focus his academic research and writing in the realms of planning and strategy, measurement, and performance. Gerry’s hope is to combine the lessons learned in the corporate and academic worlds with first person case studies, so others can learn from his successes, missteps, wins and losses.The speed of information flow, globalization, massive amounts of data, artificial intelligence, economic forces, and changing demographics are all factors that need attention and consideration as organizations decide what to do, how to do it, and when to stop doing what they are doing and pivot towards opportunities and success. By applying the principles of agile project management to strategic planning, implementation, measurement, and strategy adjustment laid out in Plan to Pivot, organizations develop the muscle memory necessary to observe markets and consumer demands, connect deeply with customers, and bring products and services to consumers in order to deliver value more efficiently than competitors.

Praising God: A Book of Devotions through the Book of Psalms for Senior Adults and Senior CouplesBy: Gerry SensanbaughPraising God is a devotional book customized for senior adults and senior couples. It is author Gerry Sensanbaugh's desire to look at the Psalms after years of experiencing life and living a life with spouses, family, and friends that God has brought into her life.Each devotional comes from Psalms, her favorite book, because it covers everything life brings to us. Joy and praises, sorrow and tears, sin and repentance, fear and doubts, love, grace, and mercy. Whatever her need for the day, she can find the answers in Psalms.The devotionals are short and to the point. It is her desire that you spend this time alone or with your spouse and then discuss your thoughts and feelings. This will then lead you to your personal time with God alone in Bible study and prayer.May God bless you.About the AuthorGerry Sensanbaugh grew up in Texas with her mother and older brother. Her mother was a living example of what a Christian looked like. Through her love for the Lord, Sensanbaugh's brother, herself, and others were always foremost in her life. When Sensanbaugh was twelve years old, she made a public profession of faith and began assisting teaching in a primary Sunday school class. She has been teaching/leading classes of all ages since that time in Sunday school, Discipleship Training, home Bible studies, nursing homes, and Bible conferences. She believes teaching is the gift God has given her because she loves telling others what she has learned from God's Holy word. At one time, she went through some struggles, but God would not let her go. He had a plan, purpose, and His will for her life.When she completely surrendered to Him, He began to place her back into teaching/leading, and she has taught senior adults for the past thirty years. She loves them because she is one of them. She loves the open discussions, sharing of information, and loving God's Holy Word. His love letter drives her to study harder and pray more for His voice.
