In the words of poet, author, and editor Louis Untermeyer (1885 - 1977), "Ballets are stories with music but without words. The dancers express what is happening in pantomime, by movement and gesture. However, in telling these stories I have put words into the mouths of the characters." So this marvellous, magical collection of ballet stories came to be. Handsomely illustrated by Alice and Martin Provensen, Untermeyer weaves stories adapted from great ballets.

Jerred Metz:: "These riddles were inspired by An Annotated Collection of Mongolian Riddles by Archer Taylor, American Philological Association, 1954 and a chapter on riddles in Homo Ludens or “Man the Player” (alternatively, “Playing Man”) by Dutch historian and cultural theorist Johan Huizinga, 1938. I wrote one riddle a day for thirty days. "In 1977 Singing Bone Press published twelve of these poems (several with corresponding visual riddles by Phil Sultz) in an edition of 101 copies. Among other reasons that I like riddles is that I enjoy letting the reader experience the shift from 'perplexity' to 'knowing,' an inherent part of the riddle and a feature that is sometimes a part of poetry – 'figuring it out.' The reader naturally has to think about what the hints add up to. Not hidden meaning, but a form in which meaning means a lot. They call for and reward cogitation. "You can see how different your response would be to these riddles if, instead of letting you come to the answer by your wits, I gave you the answer as the poem’s title.

Note on Index. Index. Dr. John Cochran, was the fourth and undoubtedly an extremely effective Director General of the Medical Department of the Continental Army. The work is divided into two parts: a biography of Cochran and a collection of letters written to and from this military medical professional who helped found the Medical Society of New Jersey, led the effort to innoculate members of the Continental Army against smallpox, and who at Valley Forge personally attended to the needs of Washington and Lafayette. From Wikipedia: "Cochran was born in Sadsbury, Pennsylvania, the son of Irish immigrants. He served as physician under Lieutenant-Colonel John Bradstreet during his march on Fort Frontenac in 1758. He was one of the founders of New Jersey Medical Society and served as its president in 1769. On April 10, 1777, Cochran was made Physician & Surgeon General of the Middle Department of the Medical Department of the Continental Army. Subsequently, he became Physician and Surgeon General of the Continental Army and Director General of the Hospitals of the United States (January 17, 1781 to 1783). Because of the infighting and other troubles of his three predecessors as Surgeon General, he is considered by some military medical historians as the "best of the Revolutionary period chief physicians". He was married to Gertrude Schuyler, sister of Gen. Philip Schuyler. Cochran's descendants added a final e to the family name. His grandson was General John Cochrane. The John Cochran Veterans Medical Center in St. Louis, Mo is named in his behalf." The author was a practicing physician, a professor at the College of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, a former president of the Academy of Medicine of New Jersey and a trustee of the New Jersey Historical Society. From the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey website: "Morris H. Saffron, MD, PhD (1905-1993) was born in Passaic, NJ. He earned a bachelor's degree in 1925 from Columbia University and his medical degree from the University of Maryland in 1928. Dr. Saffron was an authority on American Colonial medicine, archivist and historian of the New Jersey Medical Society, and a practicing dermatologist in New Jersey and New York. He returned to Columbia in the 1960s to study history and earn a Masters degree and later, a doctorate in the field in 1968. Dr. Saffron authored several books including Samuel Clossy: The Existing Works (1967), Maurus of Salerno (1972), and Surgeon to Washington: Dr. John Cochran, 1730-1807 (1977), as well as many articles on medical history topics. In 1940, he was called to active service as a flight surgeon, having qualified for the position before the eruption of World War II, and served as chief medical officer of the New York Aviation Cadet Examining Board for two years. He later served as chief of dermatology at several Army hospitals, retiring as a lieutenant colonel in 1945, when he resumed his medical practice in New Jersey (and later in New York) and active participation in professional associations. He served as president of the New Jersey Dermatological Society, then as president of the Academy of Medicine of New Jersey, and later of the New Jersey Academy of Science. In 1958, Dr. Saffron was hired as professor by the new Seton Hall College of Medicine to deliver the first formal series of lectures on medical history offered in the state. He subsequently taught medical history at Kean College (now University), the former Rutgers Medical School (now UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School), and the former New Jersey College of Medicine (now UMDNJ).

Towards the end of a long and passionate life, P K Page shares in a most engaging form the highlights of a life lived to the full. From Wikipedia: Patricia Kathleen Page CC OBC FRSC (November 23, 1916 January 14, 2010), commonly known as P. K. Page, was a Canadian poet. She was the author of over 30 published books: of poetry, fiction, travel diaries, essays, children's books, and an autobiography. By special resolution of the United Nations, in 2001 Page's poem "Planet Earth" was read simultaneously in New York, the Antarctic, and the South Pacific to celebrate the International Year of Dialogue Among Civilizations. She was also known as a visual artist, who exhibited her work as P.K. Irwin at a number of venues in and out of Canada. Her works are in permanent collections of National Gallery of Canada and Art Gallery of Ontario. Page won the Governor General's Award in 1954 for The Metal and the Flower, and the Canadian Authors Association Award in 1985 for The Glass Air. In 1977 she was made an Officer of the Order of Canada and was promoted to Companion of the Order in 1998. In 2003, she was made a member of the Order of British Columbia. B.C. Lt. Gov. Iona Campagnolo awarded her the first Lieutenant Governor's Award for Literary Excellence in 2004, calling Page "a true Renaissance woman." Page's poems have been translated into other languages. A symposium on her work, "Extraordinary Presence: The Worlds of P.K. Page", was held in 2002 at Trent University. In 2006, she was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. She held honourary degrees from University of Victoria (1985), University of Calgary (1989), University of Guelph (1990), Simon Fraser University (1990), University of Toronto (1998), University of Winnipeg (2001), Trent University (2004) and the University of British Columbia (2005). Page was a "true Canadian literary and artistic icon, " according to B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell. "As an author, poet, teacher, scriptwriter and painter, P. K. Page was an extraordinary and varied force in promoting and developing Canadian culture. Her efforts helped to set the stage for decades of cultural growth in our nation....It is the passion of people like Patricia that forged our country s cultural and artistic identity." Her last collection, Coal and Roses, was posthumously shortlisted for the Griffin Poetry Prize. The National Film Board of Canada dedicated a 38-minute documentary to her career (Still Waters, directed by Donald Winkler. She is the subject of a new biography by Sandra Djwa that will be released in late 2012. [edit] P. K. Page Founders Award for PoetryA $1, 000 poetry prize is awarded annually by the Malahat Review in Page's name. Its editor, Marilyn Bowering, said, "[Her] accomplishments have been an inspiration to several generations of writers, " and declared that the award, called the P. K. Page Founders Award for Poetry, would formalize Page's "long association with the Malahat Review."

Hand Luggage carries a plenitude of penetrating observations and probing questiongs arising from richly varied cultural experiences frankly and lovingly examined., The Porcupine's Quill, 2006<
