Founded in 1891 as Ohio’s first park district, Mill Creek Park encompasses a unique wealth of natural and designed features that have been the backdrop for generations of family memories, spanning three centuries. A remarkable visionary, park founder Volney Rogers argued that the land itself could improve the lives of Youngstown’s residents. Through fresh air for mill-weary lungs and tree laced horizons for workroom-bound spirits, he knew a park would make the community a better place for families. And he succeeded magnificently. Rogers and the nationally known landscape architects that he hired created breathtaking vistas of Lanterman’s Falls and scenic gorges and designed trails, drives, and three pleasure lakes. Other park features include nature preserves, display gardens, recreational fields, a Donald Ross-designed golf course, and a legacy of historic structures. Mill Creek Park indeed has earned its legendary claim as the most beautiful urban park in America.

I admire the power of Carol Potter's dry, dreamy, country voice, its joyful sexuality, its insights, its understated humor. This is an odd and shrewd and most valuable book. --Jean Valentine

Carol Potter’s four previous books have earned many admirers and multiple awards. But the scope and depth of Some Slow Bees, winner of the 2014 FIELD Poetry Prize, will be a revelation even to her most devoted fans. Potter’s new collection is a book about trouble, about loss: relationships, farms, parents, places. But there’s also humor, a wry look at the way we invite or stumble into trouble and how we embrace the adventure. From children at their desks watching the flood leak into the schoolroom, to the narrator and her lover paddling down a river in the dark, the book charts a journey from loss to repair. It ends with a sonnet sequence, “The Miss Nancy Papers,” that leads us from the psychological terrain of the 1950s into the present, where “if anyone knew what war we were coming home from / we would come home from it.” This is a book about how to get lost, and how to get home.

“Moments of Panic, Moments of Peace” is a collection of essays on reconnecting with life after loss. After the sudden death of her husband, the author finds herself facing a totally different life from the one she had imagined. Three years after her loss and dissatisfied with her “progress”, she sells her house and most of her belongings, quits her job, and moves to coastal Maine. There, she begins the process of making peace with her loss, understanding her reactions to it, and finding a way to feel whole again. Using a short essay format, and a down to earth writing style, she honestly and elegantly conveys the essence of her experience with loss and provides a fresh look on how to take life as it comes – moment by moment. Whether you are dealing with a traumatic loss ( be it a death, divorce, disability, illness, loss of a job or home), or just seeking to change your perspective on how you live your life, then “Moments of Panic, Moments of Peace” can help make your journey easier, your path smoother, and your burden lighter.

Addressing the complex issue of what constitutes a communication enabling environment for children with autism who use little or no speech, Potter and Whittaker show that the communication of these children can be significantly affected by a range of social and environmental influences. As well as providing an overview of the theoretical issues involved, Enabling Communication in Children with Autism provides detailed practical advice. Key elements of the recommended approach include
* the use of minimal speech
* proximal communication
* the use of appropriate systems of communication including multipointing
* providing many and varied opportunities for communication.
Arguing that encouraging spontaneous communication should be viewed as a major educational goal for these children, Potter and Whittaker demonstrate that these children can and do communicate in enabling environments and provide practical, proven strategies for creating such environments.

Here is a collection that reveals what happens when skill meets substantial talent. And what, precisely, is it that happens? The unpredictable—from poem to poem, line to line, a cascade of surprises. Mischief, memory, dream and lusty desire come into play here, and one recurring feature: in virtuoso displays of heady language, the blood and bone of the animal and natural world.
