Book Description
Parents, teachers, and administrators are still asking the question that a young mother asked me over 20 years ago. "I have to go back to work," she said as she interviewed me over the telephone, ..".and I don't even know what questions I should be asking you!" That young mother broke down in tears as the full importance of her responsibility hit home. For those of us in the field, the impact may not be as personal, but the responsibility is every bit as great. Stepping in Wet Cement is a guidebook. It tells parents and practitioners what is important for young children, why those things are important, and what parents can do at home to maximize their child's learning potential.

Book Description
Orphaned siblings create a macabre secret world for themselves in this “irresistibly readable” novel by the New York Times-bestselling author (The New York Review of Books). This “powerful and disconcerting” novel by the Booker Prize-winning author of The Children Act and Atonement (The Daily Telegraph) tells the story of a dying family who live in a dying part of the city. A father of four children decides, in an effort to make his garden easier to control, to pave it over. In the process, he has a heart attack and dies, leaving the cement garden unfinished and the children to the care of their mother. Soon after, the mother too dies and the children, fearful of being separated by social services, decide to cover up their parents’ deaths: they bury their mother in the cement garden. The story is told from the point of view of Jack, one of the sons, who is entering adolescence with all of its attendant curiosity and appetites. Julie, the eldest, is almost a grown woman. Sue is rather bookish and observes all that goes on around her. And Tom is the youngest and the baby of the lot. The children seem to manage in this perverse setting rather well—until Julie brings home a boyfriend who threatens their secret by asking too many questions. “[A] beautiful but disturbing novel.”—The AV Club “McEwan’s evocative detail and perfect British prose lend a genteel decorum to the death and decay that surround the family.”—The New Yorker

Book Description
Poetry. "VANISHING ACTS is an astounding, yet oddly casual and unselfconscious, achievement. In a dark land beyond death, a cast of characters--including a one- eyed boy, a mute girl, carnival performers, bicyclists, handless monks, ghost-women, film- makers--wanders inside and outside landscape and language, and through various ancient Chinese religious texts. Sometimes laconic (just a scrawled note left by one character for another) and sometimes an obsessive rush of language barely patched together with ampersands, the passion of this poem nearly overwhelms. Hold onto your hats for this one "--Norman Fischer

Book Description
A book of Zen paintings and hand-written poems. Emptiness moving into presence; figuration turning into abstraction. A call to dream deeply while wide awake.
