poems for your inner soul and your outer life
Julia loves her artist friends living in New York City's Greenwich Village in the 1950's post-World War II euphoria of peace, freedom and opportunity. For security she marries Walter, a super-salesman who gives her a house in upscale New Rochelle, a country club and a Cadillac but who derides "Bohemian artistes.". Her stifling life with Walter prompts Julia to . .return frequently to her Village friends, including Jack, her first lover and best friend; Ben, who offers her unconditional love; and Joe, charming, irresponsible and with sex-to-die-for. Their lives intertwine as they seek self-understanding and fulfillment of their abilities and dreams. Their lives are framed against the background of McCarthyism's political witch hunts and suppression of free speech. When life with Walter becomes unbearable, Julia decides to leave him. Who will she go to? Jack? Ben? Joe? They have moved on with their lives. Is it too late? Is there no choice but to go back to Walter?The atmosphere of New York City of the 1950s, its sights and sounds, leap off the pages of this book.

Robert Hilliard's collection of poetry carves a distinguished path for us to navigate in a world between the anguish and power of war and the beauty and innocence of love. Hilliard's poems "For Jo Ann: Love Senses" and "Blind Love" shows us of the enchantment and tenderness of affection. His evocative use of language is visceral and unreeling in "Black Blood," written on the front lines of combat during WWII, and "Silence." Poems of Love and War remind us that it is our deep, everlasting connections to each other that command our hearts and minds. RENUKA RAGHAVAN, Out of the Blue __________________________________________________ Robert Hilliard has lived a most interesting life, and now at age 92 honors us with his first book of poems. Poems of Love and War has its share of romance ("For where I once saw many things/I now see only you"), but it is the poems he wrote as a soldier in WWII in Europe (he was at the Battle of the Bulge) and shortly thereafter that give the collection its backbone. The representative poem "Did I see Versailles...?" shows us what war is really like from the infantry soldier's point of view: "There were no chateaus, no sights to pick. I'm sorry, sir, just Krauts to lick." Hilliard is giving us a history of a generation in these poems. I'll bet that somewhere members of the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Romantic English poets he so loves are saluting him and agreeing that poetry ...pierces the darkness/turns shadow into light." TIM SUERMONDT, Election Night and the Five Satins ___________________________________________________ In Poems of Love and War, we can be sure that Robert Hilliard does not hold back on either. With poetic voice that ranges from deep love poems-"no parable/ or mundane speech/ for love's literate glow" to the bare yet harsh poem of guns-"Will they kill us just for sport?"- to the warnings of a country divided-"Weep for your country/cry for your land", Hilliard gives an outstanding view of well-conceived, masterfully written poetry as only a poet who has traveled the ages can. Ripe with poetic devices, Hilliard offers poems on love, war, aging, and America, with expressive variation. This is a book I want in my collection. ELIZABETH SZEWCZYK, Fragments of Survival

The Commonwealth of Kentucky's alcohol of choice, the sport of kings and power politics provide the combustible combination that embroils the Bluegrass State's first family, the Wellingtons, in an expanding web of scandal involving sex, murder, finance and brushes with the underworld. Set in 1983, former Governor and current bourbon distillery owner Bentley Wellington; coal baroness wife Abigail Prescott Wellington; and son Beauregard, who operates the family thoroughbred business, are central in turning What Are the Odds?... The Calculus of Coincidence and its sequel, All In?... Beware the Cross Currents into non-stop, cover-to-cover reads for fans of the thriller/suspense genre.But the Wellingtons have company in making these works of fiction incredibly enticing. First is Thomas Jefferson Cutter III, a youthful Virginia horseman whose fateful meeting with his Kentucky-based peer leads to a dueling dance of equine elites.Then there's Gretchen Weiβ Hauptmann, who's about to make a decision on the future of the German powder metal parts company she founded some two decades earlier, unaware of the neo-Nazi plot to "relieve" her of the business "one way or another." In an effort to buttress their efforts, the terrorist network with German-American ties focuses on the vulnerabilities of Bentley Wellington as a potential source of funds.The intertwining stories of these three families - the Cutters of Leesburg, Virginia; the Wellingtons of Lexington, Kentucky, and the Hauptmanns of Germany's North Rhine-Westphalia region - continue as summer turns to fall. TJ Cutter enjoys a meteoric rise in the world of thoroughbred horse racing, while Beauregard Wellington hatches a bold start-up bourbon venture in Ireland. Meanwhile, Gretchen Weiβ Hauptmann's narrow escape from a neo-Nazi terrorist group results in starting a new life in Canada under an assumed name. While TJ, Beau and Gretchen may be "all in" on the choices they make, the cross currents created by their decisions are likely to cause unforeseen consequences for those in their immediate circles.
