Kirk’s Poetry
Price range: $3.99 through $8.99I want to dedicate this book to my son Christopher, who joined the Lord
July 4th of 1996. He had cancer the age of 9, and was a fighter for 4 years.
He made everyone smile, and always kept us on our toes. He loved music
and going out for pizza. He also loved the Lord and proclaimed Him until his
death in 1996. He was a strong boy and always knew what was going on.
And he has been the inspiration for this book, he loved listening to my music
and loved all the different types of poems I wrote, whether Christian, love, or just
fun poems or songs. He was a big inspiration for my new Christian cd which is now available.
A young boy who didn’t really have a chance in life, but he enjoyed it to
the fullest. That’s why this book is about him, he was there and helped me with all that
was written in it, because he just plain enjoyed life, and he helped us to do the same.
I have some poems that are about Christopher in Chapter3..
We all love and miss you Christopher you were and still are a great inspiration
to all the people that your heart touched, which was many people,
We will meet you in heaven.

Knowing Horses by Heart: A Collection of Poems Written with Appreciation for the Horses in My World
Price range: $3.99 through $11.99For as long as Barbara Hutson could remember, she dreamed of having a horse farm and of surrounding herself daily with these magical, mystical, and majestic creatures. Suddenly, she found herself living her lifelong dream. In Knowing Horses by Heart, she talks about the joys and challenges of owning horses. Her poems consider the life lessons she has learned-such as the value of patience and respect-while considering how worthwhile owning horses has been for her.
Like most fantasies, the reality of our fondest wishes can be a bit more than we bargained for. Owning a horse farm is not all serene days gazing at horses playing in the field or peaceful rides into the sunsets. Horses are bigger than life. With that comes events that are also tremendous in size and impact, which lends richness and color to the fabric of our life story. Fully illustrated, Knowing Horses by Heart shares through poetry some of the knowledge Barbara has accumulated through her equine encounters.
Little Girl Giggles
The gift is sweeter than that very first kiss
Seeing those looks of sheer wonder and bliss
There is nothing quite like watching the eyes
Of a child as she squeals with excited cries
As the magic of real horses fills up the space
The look of pure amazement covers her face …

Kwanzaa Songs for Everyone
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99Kwanzaa Songs for Everyone is a unique collection of music and poetry that celebrates the spirit of Kwanzaa. Set to familiar holiday tunes, these songs have all new lyrics and are expressed with a distinctive cultural flavor. The word “Kwanzaa” comes from the Swahili language and means “the first fruits of harvest” It is celebrated during the seven day period from December 26 to January 1. Kwanzaa is a unique cultural event that pays homage to the past, present, and future of African Americans. It has no religious connotations nor does it attempt to replace or substitute for Christmas, or any religious beliefs or observations. The reason why Kwanzaa came to be is simple: Until the creation of Kwanzaa by Dr. Maulana Ron Karenga in 1966, African Americans did not have a specific occasion to universally celebrate our culture. Kwanzaa incorporates African heritage into the festivities of the winter solstice and holiday season. After over forty years, practice, Kwanzaa is now celebrated by millions of people thorough out America, the African Diaspora, and all over the world. The seven principles of Kwanzaa promote family values, cultural enlightenment, and the growth of a cooperative community spirit, collective economic opportunities, community strength, family cohesiveness and progressive individual expression. The ultimate goal of Kwanzaa is that the Nguzo Saba, the Seven Principles, become a living part of the individual and community until they are practiced every day of the year.

Giridhar has seen his quality of work enhanced subconsciously between the publishing of Book 1 and submission of Book 2 manuscript. Giridhar is currently working on two more books of Poetry that will see the light in early 2020.

Letters Of Life: Whispers, Secrets, & Lies
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99Letters of Life is a collection of perceptive, achingly honest poems that offer a decisive view which makes no apologies. These verses attempt to simplify rather than complicate the common ills which plague humanity. Often providing insight into life’s often messy entanglements.
These poems are divided into three separate sections. In “Whispers” we examine those things that people speak softly about under breath. The poems in “Secrets” reflect a pool of applied wisdom and answers to personal questions. And “Lies” deals with rumors, half-truths, and false impressions. Tying all the poems together is an undercurrent of truth.
“For in truth, there is love, in love, there is understanding. In understanding, there is forgiveness.”
In this stunning collection, whispers will cease; secrets will be revealed; and lies will manifest-but the truth will remain evident throughout.
