Going to the Tigers: Essays and Exhortations (Writers On Writing)
by Robert CohenIn this funny and perceptive collection, novelist and essayist Robert Cohen shares his thoughts on the writing process and then puts these prescriptions into practice—from how to rant effectively as an essayist and novelist (“The Piano has been Drinking”), how to achieve your own style, naming characters (and creating them), how one manages one’s own identity with being “a writer” in time and space, to the use of reference and allusion in one’s work. Cohen is a deft weaver of allusion himself. In lieu of telling the reader how to master the elements of writing fiction, he shows them through the work of the writers who most influenced his own development, including Bellow, Lawrence, Chekhov, and Babel. Rooted in his own experiences, this collection of essays shows readers how to use their influences and experiences to create bold, personal, and individual work. While the first part of the book teaches writing, the essays in the second part show how these elements come together.

Going Under: A collection of poetry (Wordcatcher Modern Poetry #2)
by Cheryl O'BrienThe subjects of this collection are Conflict, Children, Nature, and a Medley. Conflict whether its war, a terrorist attack or the aftermath of an air raid, pulls at the heart strings, we see so many reports on these incidents, they play on the mind and for me I use words to come to terms with the atrocities I see. Balancing the sad with happy times my verses on children focus on the joy they bring to our lives, which connects well into Mother Nature and how she shapes our lives with the seasons, flora and fauna all around us. The last part of the book is a smorgasbord of poems written over the last years.

Gold
by Chris CleaveUsually, this is where we'd tell you what this book is about. But with Chris Cleave, it's a bit different. Because if you've read THE OTHER HAND or INCENDIARY, you'll know that what his books are about is only part of the story - what really matters is how they make you feel. GOLD is about the limits of human endurance, both physical and emotional. It will make you cry. GOLD is about what drives us to succeed - and what we choose to sacrifice for success. It will make you feel glad to be alive. GOLD is about the struggles we all face every day; the conflict between winning on others' terms, and triumphing on your own. It will make you count your blessings. GOLD is a story told as only Chris Cleave could tell it. And once you begin, it will be a heart-pounding race to the finish.
