A Poet’s Diary
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99For Lisa, a diary always meant writing poems. Often set in worlds of hellscape, meadow or ocean, her first collection bathes the reader in darkness, sunlight and moonbeam. The reader will find themselves lost aboard a sinking ship, on a train barreling through mountain snow, or clinging to a towering cliff. Presented in nine books, this collection runs the gamut of human emotions, exposing the tenderness and naivety of youth, the infatuation and dismay of immature love, and the early realizations of finding your place in this world. It is for young souls struggling to find hope and for old souls ready to reminisce.

Creeping Shadows
Price range: $3.99 through $30.99The son of John and Viola Hastings, author Swede Hastings was born in 1941 in the small town of Roseburg, Oregon. In his early years, the family moved about the western part of the United States, following the fruit and work available. His family later returned to Roseburg and bought a small farm.
In 1958 Swede joined the US Navy. The next year there was a major explosion in the city of Roseburg, devastating the town. Swede, age 18, received emergency leave to help his family. While on leave, an accidental hunting tragedy resulted in his 15-year-old brother’s death. Due to the emotional trauma, he was suffering, Swede was institutionalized in California, where he had relived details of the accident. It was this tragedy which inspired him to write his first poem, Creeping Shadows.
Once released from the hospital, Swede found that keeping busy kept his mind off the accident. Throughout different highs and lows of his life, Swede would turn to words as an outlet. As with his first poem, the page seemed to hold the answers for dealing with things too emotional to confront any other way.
Swede feels that there is a time and place for each thought to be expressed, and we all have our unique individual ways to express our feelings. Since the experience of accepting the Lord, Swede believes that the best is yet to come.

These poems portray the thrills and challenges of life and love in general and the saving grace of spiritual light and wisdom in particular.

The structured arrangement of poems followed in this book allows a coherently flowing exploration of human feelings, emotions, and aspirations, and of the human behavior; thus taking the readers through a panoramic journey of self-discovery. The verses are eloquent and evocative, with dazzling imagery that touch the senses and soul, delving into the pragmatic, romantic, and spiritual longings of human beings. These lucidly written verses reflect on, and expose, the secrets of achieving success in love, peace, and happiness.Positively uplifting and illuminating, Safaya’s poetic work is reminiscent of classical poetry, for it is deeply thought provoking about human nature and condition. Foreword Clarian Review wrote, “Reflections on Being Human works toward truth and self-actualization with many poems hinting at ultimate perfect unity …surprising imagery to uncommon and timeless effect.” Kirkus review remarked, “This earnest collection tackles serious questions…[c]onsiders the subject of love both abstractly and concretely.” An editor at iUniverse, A. Spencer, wrote, “these poems have a rare intellectual and spiritual depth as well as lyricism.”
