She feels that this is an experience that needs to be made known to all t hose suffering from Lyme Disease which is now one of the greatest vector diseases in the U.S and in Europe.

How the Movies Saved My Life & Other Themes 1961 - 2017 contains the entire poetry of Martha Y. Wright from age thirteen to sixty-nine and features poetry inspired by the movies. It contains many other poems on other subjects ranging from unrequieted love, loneliness, nature, God, religion, history, politics and many other surprising themes. Each poems has a unique characteristic and form. One poem is a rap type song about getting a ticket from the police. Another poem is in a very different style - "Lullaby for Iraq." Some are blunt and direct others float about in nuances. Martha Wright recommends looking at "Crucible," "Enchanted Hard Drive" and "The Death of Love" to sample a variety. She plans on adding another poetry book in the future that will feature more "movie" poetry.

"The Mermaid of the Kyle-of-Localsh & Journey to Skye: a story for the child & a story for the parents", is firstly a playful and colorful poetic story that both the child and the parent will find lively and entertaining and short. At times this can be a blessing and allows the parent to take time to nourish their spirit too with a true tale. It was at first written to encourage my grand-daughter's interest in finding places on Google Earth as she loved to look up places and click on the photos. It also encourages imagination with the addition of mermaids. The "Journey to Skye" section also has photos and I hope will be very entertaining to both parents and grand-parents. It could be considered a bit of a travel guide, as well as insights into parent child relationships and other miscellaneous sharings of the heart on the road of a life journey. Happy armchair traveling Have the Kleenex box handy.
