Trauterose: Growing Up in Postwar Munich is the compelling first-person account of Elisabeth Haggblade, who was orphaned at birth at the height of World War II and spent the first eleven years of her life under the care of a former S.S. officer and his family.Like many she knew and met during her formative years, Elisabeth was marked both physically and psychologically by the traumatic events of the war and its aftermath, where negotiating daily life during the most tenuous time in Germany's history often felt like a balancing act. Yet through it all, faith and the help of others prevailed.Trauterose is the account of one person's search for humanity in existence-a cautionary tale on the inherited guilt created by rampant nationalism, and a painfully honest and often humorous view of the world through the eyes of a young woman who found her way to freedom and purpose.

Death: A Love Letter casts a raw, unflinching stare into one man's personal abyss-a powerful search for purpose in a life torn asunder by tragedy and loss, and an inspiring chronicle of the discovery of self-love. More than just a collection of poetry, it offers a deeply personal and ultimately courageous view of the author coping with complex post-traumatic stress disorder through the purgative power of the written word.

Whitey's Kid is an autobiographical memoir of Dr. Bernard (aka "Bernie") Koire (1928 - 2018), the son of a notorious Jewish gangster, decorated Korean War veteran, and one of the pioneering plastic surgeons of Beverly Hills.Bernie grew up in Kensington, Pennsylvania-up the Delaware River from Philadelphia. It was a 200-year-old immigrant entry point and then a failed industrial ghetto for the Irish, Polish, Italians, and Jews. The streets were mean-instructive and formative for him, especially as the second-generation son of a mobster. Bernie's future seemed dim at best, but he literally was a fighter, with a passion for discovery and learning, who excelled in school. Over two tumultuous decades, Bernie finds himself in numerous difficult situations, some dangerous and others hilarious. And despite the odds, he emerges from his background to become an early innovative plastic surgeon with a zest for storytelling, adventure, risk-taking, and world service. When not practicing in Beverly Hills, Bernie travels with his wife Nina to perform surgery on medical missions in remote locations around the world. While on these trips, he finds adventure and mishaps, including encounters with characters such as the Shah of Iran and Mother Teresa.Whitey's Kid traces some of the earliest evidence of the mob connections and volatility of the Philadelphia-New York mob turf wars which ended in the mysterious and unsolved death of Whitey Cohen. The book introduces the impact on his son of the experience of living with a "made" guy in the Jewish mafia. It traces the life and times of a street kid to a leader in his chosen medical field. The book celebrates a child who was forged in the reality of being worse than fatherless, and translated that experience into an inspiring tribute to hard work, risk taking, persistence and perseverance. Bernie is a stubborn visionary who never fully abandons the lessons of the streets and is filled with a passion for risk, travel, and occasional visits into his dark side without apology.

It''s impossible to grasp the extraordinary political and social changes that unfolded during the tumultuous years from 2016-2021. From Trump through the ongoing Covid pandemic, anxiety reigned. The period heralded an implosion of the psyche, as techno-capitalism fostered a culture of alienation, divisiveness and conformity from the complexity of lived experiences. Living in an Age of Survival chronicles this period in the process of its unfolding.James Batcho moves through the USA, Thailand, China, Taiwan and South Korea as he screens the emergence of a frightening, reactionary politics. Key issues of our time-science, religion, social media, ecology, inequality, State control-are explored through readings of Nietzsche, Deleuze, James, Beauvoir, Arendt, Han and others. Resisting conformity to the binaries of Democrat vs. Republican, the author instead offers a series of nascent fragments to critique and antagonize the failing strategies of liberalism.Embracing the virtues of artistic expression, sensation and "difference," Living in an Age of Survival is an impassioned plea for vital, radical creativity in how we contribute, individually and collectively, to our shared futures.

Anthology of Hope is a collection of poetry and prose as curated, edited, and published by Glass Spider Publishing. Note from the editor, Vince Font: Amid the dark and dismal days of late 2020 and early 2021, I found myself at an emotional and psychological nadir, searching anywhere I could from the safety of my home for confirmation that the spark of human decency-of compassion for the weak, of humanity toward the oppressed, and whispered kindnesses amid a nationwide scream fest-was still alive. I found that proof in words. Those words, along with the names of the individuals who wrote them, are contained within this book. I thank them all for showing me that hope can still exist, even in the bleakest of times-and for reminding me that all we have to do to exterminate the darkness is to call upon those carrying the light.
