How can love songs be "forbidden"? They can be when the love is between two men in the late '90s and one person is already in a relationship with someone else. This collection of poems is about falling in love when you're 3,000 miles apart. The poems were written over the course of a few months at the beginning of a passionate yet challenging love affair. Many of the poems were actually written in airports after a tearful good-bye and not knowing when I would see him again. Some of the poems were written after my partner's tragic loss of his parents in a homicide/suicide. 22 years later, we're still together today and I love him now more than ever

Images of America: Piqua not only examines the town's history through images, it explores the ways in which the community has commemorated and celebrated its dynamic history. From its roots in Shawnee, Delaware, and other Native American cultures to its role as an important post on the Miami-Erie Canal, as well as its continued growth and development in the 20th century, the story of Piqua's rich history is told through its community organizations, parades, festivals, and most of all its citizens. This book provides a glimpse into the vast and multifaceted community that is Piqua.
