Product Description How does somebody get to be a nobody? Influenced by the Women's Movement, in this memoir mixed with fiction the writer Ann Z. Leventhal reveals from her own and other people's points of view how an ordinary New York Jew married a lawyer, gave birth four times, overcame a diagnosis of epilepsy and depression, forged a bond with a cousin who once disliked her, enjoyed a love affair with a feminist scholar, benefitted from psychotherapy, freaked out her children, coped with sexism, attracted a genius, came to terms with her parents, survived her oldest son's suicide, communicated with her late husband, acquired a second spouse, outlasted his daughter's hostility, recovered from breast cancer, turned to teaching, bested a scammer, and triumphantly stuck around long enough to expose and celebrate her own invisibility. About the Author Ann Z. Leventhal has published two novels, Life-lines (Magic Circle Press) and Among the Survivors (She Writes Press), short stories (South Dakota Review, Vignettes, Christopher Street), poems (Prairie Schooner, The Georgia Review, Passages North, Puerta del Sol), articles and reviews (Publishers Weekly, Maenad, The New York Times Book Review). She's written a play, advertising copy, a political candidate's speeches and press releases, indeed everything but a movie script. Leventhal lives with her husband and their pooch, Brenda, in Bradenton, Florida and New York City.

Avalon -- a novel of jazz, sex, and sport fishing. From the speakeasies of 20s Los Angeles to the iconic bay of Catalina Island, Bill Livingstone struggles to satisfy his lusts for music and for love. Can he find the world he's looking for? What price, Paradise? Avalon is a literary novel set in Southern California, focusing on Catalina Island, a glamorous sea-side resort. Its prose style is reminiscent of modernist writers of the era, but with an ironic, surrealistic edge. Interior illustrations are in a similarly ironic style. Hugh Bonar has written for the LA WEEKLY and SPIN magazine, and performs music as the solo artist HB3. This is his first novel.

Poetry

Understanding why we are intensely attracted to certain people can lead us to the "Inner Lover," a creative aspect of our own nature. Valerie Harms observes that the images, feelings, and fantasies that are aroused when we fall in love in brief encounters and lasting bonds, in unrequited and "impossible" relationships-are the key to hidden potentials within ourselves. In this book, she presents techniques of journaling, dreamwork, and imaginal dialogues to guide the reader on an adventure of self-discovery in which the powerful energies of love may be transformed into creativity and fulfillment. This book is part memoir, categorized in the genres of personal growth, psychology, relationships.
