In this collection the author, "Frank Romano throws himself headlong-physically and spiritually-into the world. In Crossing Over, Romano generously extends himself through language to make his experiences our own." Martha Witt, Author of Broken As Things Are Professor of Creative Writing at William Paterson University."Frank Romano has the unusual poetic ability to focus on the commonplace, such as his "Squirrel" piece, and then to show how it radiates some of the deepest of life's themes. His other new poem, "Bread and Gladiators" is both pungent and melodic, but hardly subdued. Romano targets us with some of the most provocative of thoughts, thought meant to jar us out of our dullest complacency. Read him at your risk." Alan Baxter, Professor at Ramapo College in New Jersey, author of A Second of Eternity and What Wives Don't Know, and award winning filmmaker."This collection of poetry by the author of Storm over Morocco reveals a young and a mature man's inner journey as he travels from California to Paris and the Mediterranean, discovering Italian and French identities. Particularly moving are the poems "Ma Fille" and "Held you", both exploring the poet's relations to his children." Mary Ann Frese, Professor Emerita, Comparative Literature, North Carolina State University

A children's ghost story about how a Pacific Coast Lighthouse came to be haunted by the ghost of a young girl and her grieving mother. Beautiful illustrations of both the chilling moonlight and the mysterious forests.

A journey into the future where human beings on a new earth try to take back the control of their lives, their history, and their destiny. This new breed of humans continue to be lead by Dr. Elizabeth Reinhart, as they continue in their war with the androids. They are driven by an insatiable desire to find new life forms on this planet.

"LOVE AND TERROR in the MIDDLE EAST" dramatically captures the author's efforts to promote understanding and cooperation in the region between Jews, Muslims and Christians. It details Romano's arduous journeys between Israel and the West Bank, discussing issues and organizing activities among religious and national groups. Traveling between these areas has been risky: he has been harassed/arrested by the Palestinian police, harassed/arrested by Israeli soldiers and attacked by Israeli settlers. A peace activist friend was recently murdered in the West Bank. This Fourth Edition includes a new chapter, Chapter 82: "In the Midst of a Riot." It recounts a recent harrowing experience in Jenin, West Bank, when he was trapped in the midst of rioting Palestinians following the killing of a Palestinian youth by Israeli soldiers.

"Alan Baxter's poetry explores with clarity our deepest and most personal feelings-----the right touch of nature laced with human nature." -Evie Ivy, author of The First Woman Who Danced and host of the Green Pavilion Alan Baxter's poetry is a delightfully eclectic, enlightening smorgasbord of humor, pathos, and social commentary----with spicy, often playful variations of rhythm, rhyme, precise imagery, and poetic form. Alan's poetry always leaves me with a heightened sense of the spirituality and ethics of everyday life, everyday people, extraordinary moments in life, and extraordinary people. Wonderfully subversive yet sincerely compassionate, this book is sure to inspire." -Robin Small-McCarthy, Co-founder and Co-host of Kairos Poetry Café, Poet, Singer-Songwriter
