"'I can't believe I live anywhere, ' the poet says in this remarkably dark, quirky, sad and surprising collection of poems. But he does-in Expatriatetown and Elegytown, in Endtown and Doubttown, on and on in his solitary travels. Bryan Penberthy's brilliant guiding metaphor goes past conceit to the multiple worlds within us, going past homage and question and complaint, back to a source radiant and genuine. A toast to this fine first book " -Marianne Boruch "If there were one American poet that the work of Bryan Penberthy most esembles, it might be the late Richard Hugo; but Penberthy is a far better poet than Dick was, with a wild sense of humor and none of the oppressive self-involvement that all too often freighted Hugo's poetry. The mind behind these poems is obviously brilliant, and the personality engaging. Friends, meet Bryan Penberthy." -Jonathan Holden "These poems are a work of multiple, ongoing scenarios, which beguile the reader each time one starts up again: 'This could be the best place you've known.' These approaches to viewing the world-Quiettown, Pooltown, Sleeptown, and so on-seem actually human rather than simply mechanically humanistic-that is, we live through them, and that sometimes is all we can do. Possibility exists, but truth follows a pattern just beyond one's control. Free will exists, not that it ends up doing us all that much good. So we tell our stories, these stories, and get on with it: 'We're only as real/as the landscape that shifts around us.'" -Alberto R os, 2007 T. S. Eliot Prize judge "Bryan Penberthy's Lucktown is smart in its unflinching: 'the dead / can't be accurately counted, their ends are miserable and useless, ' and smart too in its hope for art. . . . And smart yet again in its hopeless hope for love triumphing over the persistent failure of love. . . . Lucktown believes in luck simply because sometimes your number has to come up on the roule e wheel or people would stop gambling. Lucktown itself, though, is a winner." -Andrew Hudgins "Reading Bryan Penberthy's Lucktown is like looking through the facets of a well-cut prism to see a sometimes blurred, but rainbow-edged world come into sharp focus. He inhabits the endless towns of his imagination, which become surreal topoi for different psychic states. The poems' titles are themselves a prose poem: lucktown, tigertown, pooltown, expatriatetown, oceantown, sleeptown, quiettown, doubttown, crazytown, smoketown, goodbyetown. The mood is indigo. All the world's randomness, melancholias, self-delusions, hopes, yearnings, woundings, desires are given voice through a book of great formal rigor and variety. Yes, Penberthy is mining Richard Hugo's boom-and-bust silver towns, but his small towns have the inconsolable dolor of his own Midwest. As Penberthy says, 'there's been some minor / talk of sending out a party // to find out what makes the world burn. / There's been this kind of talk before.' Yes, but this talk, though minor-keyed, is not minor. These poems do tell us what makes the world burn." -Donald Platt

Jesus and Mahomad are God (Author Articles). God revealed to the author that now is the time to share and help explain this Revelation. It was initially revealed to the author, Bryan Foster, in the early morning on 28 May, 2016, while camping on the plains of Mt Warning near Murwillumbah, Australia.This is the fifth book published in the 'GOD Today' Series. It highlights four key Revelations from God. Key concepts covered in this Book 5's series of articles are: The Incarnate God/Allah is Jesus & Mahomad*; the Truth was revealed by God through 21 Revelations received by the author in May, 2016 and November, 2018; the various Revelations yet to be explained in the first four books are explained now; there is a prophetic possibility for the author, and Tears from God help prove the Incarnations of God as Jesus and Mahomad*. The collection of sun arrows, flares, rays, double rainbows and clouds highlighted in Book 4, Where's God? Revelations Today Photobook Companion: GOD Signs, show God's closeness to the author and the need to encourage the reader, author, religious leaders, theologians and other scholars to share with all people and to delve deeply into the key Revelations revealed these past four years.God needs the religious leaders, scriptural scholars, theologians, etc., from both Islam and Christianity to explain these Revelations as each applies to them. Other religions should also be included through the offer to become an integral part of God's place in today's world by helping with the explanations, and the theology of One God only, the same God, for all time etc. and the Incarnations of God as Jesus and Mahomad*. (*This spelling of Mahomad was as given to the author by God.)

Many scholars in neuroscience and psychology have talked about how our brain works or how it affects our behaviour. However, those studies have nothing to do with creativity training. The relationship is like the one between medical doctors and athletic training. You will not consult a doctor about how to play basketball or football well although sports are related to our body. Similarly, we will not consult a neurologist or a psychologist about how to think creatively although it is related to our brain. People always say "Think outside of the box " and show you success stories of such a creative thinking method, but no one can show you exactly How to think outside of the box? Learning how to think creatively is like learning how to drive a car. The engineers may tell you how a car works, the mechanism of an engine, the transmission, steering and braking systems. They may also tell you all the terminologies of a car, brake bias, fuel injection, PSI, etc. However, knowing all those things will not make you a good driver. People who say "Think outside of the box " is like shouting "Drive Safe " to a teenager without a driver's license but tries to drive a car. They cannot help or teach the teenager how to drive just by telling them to do so. A book that tells you how your brain works or how to define problem-solving techniques cannot help or teach you how to think creatively. In other words, you cannot think outside of the box just by knowing the terminologies and how our brain works. Differential Cogitation will tell you how to make your brain work and how to solve problems so that you can think like a CEO Become a Professional Problem Solver Differential Cogitation provides you with a set of creativity techniques and a system for problem-solving that will help you to solve problems like a CEO, see the bigger picture, be more creative thus create better outcomes in your work and your life. This book is an SOP for problem-solving and creative thinking. Every person who wants to be more creative should read it.

A true story about sailing across the Pacific Ocean in a small sailboat alone. At age 29, Bryan Carson realized that working for the corporate world was not his calling. Day after day, he sat in his cubicle plotting his escape. He wanted to put himself in the hands of fate, so he decided to buy a boat and sail across the Pacific. Two thousands miles from land, his crewman "Figman" begins having nightmares that they are lost at sea. The boat is slowly sinking, but he can't bear to tell him. They arrive in Tahiti alive. Bryan sails north to Hawaii alone in the savage seas and runs into a storm that nearly sweeps him over the side. The trip continues deeper into the South Pacific until he runs aground. The boat partially damaged, he sails onward through the cradle of Polynesia where he meets "Muzzy" who shows him the dark passage to the Kingdom of Tonga. In this narrative nonfiction, Bryan discovers himself through facing dangers on the high seas while sailing to Australia.
Not Even God: The Curious Partnership of God and Man
Bryan Rocine

Not Even God explains why not even God can have it all. It sounds scary, but it is no cause to panic because we also find out what is missing-partnership with God. Another theology book might sound scary, too, but Not Even God is a page-turner, combining compelling personal narratives with scripture commentary. Fourteen brief chapters tell about the trial of one or two of the friends author Bryan Rocine has made in serving as a pastor in one of the largest churches in Central New York for over twenty years. The twenty-one year old son of one friend dies in a car accident, another friend rears her children without her husband because he is murdered, another flees from Muslim extremists, one overcomes a wrecked marriage, and others struggle against cancer, debilitating disease, and drug abuse. In a stunning departure from common Christian theology, Not Even God denies any of these trials are God's will. Nevertheless, the life stories of these humble friends become enlightening object lessons on how to collaborate with God in "writing the story of our lives."
When do you feel that enough is enough and something has to change in your life? It can happen anywhere-for me it was in a taxi in Chicago. Since that moment, I have been working on self-awareness, discovering lessons about myself and developing tools to live a better life on life's terms.The lessons in 'Note to Self' are what I use every day to live my life. I live imperfectly with an open mind and heart, discovering happiness, self-awareness and serenity. I have to remind myself that bad minutes, hours and days will happen, but they're not my whole life, just moments. In my collection of lessons I've shared the importance of being present in what I do. I re-commit to participating in life every single day. I'm inspired and thankful for my friends who graciously shared their lessons with me for the book. I hope you will also enjoy their life lessons as much as I did.
