59 vividly haunting poems by Susan Sheppard. "When I first read the poems of a young woman from Appalachia, thirty years ago, I knew she was one of the best poets I'd ever met. I never forgot the brooding witchcraft, the mystery and magic in her work. There's no writer like Susan Sheppard. She writes like a woman who has nothing to lose and I place her at the top of poetry's canon. It is the world's fault that a Sheppard poetry book is not in our libraries. Every page of Glamoury is rich, resolving to bring truth to life with language smoldering, ready to burst into flame. I read this book and feel lucky to know a poet who keeps poetry alive. This is the book of the year. -Grace Cavalieri, Maryland Poet Laureate

Inspiration. It's all around us if we know where to look. Sometimes it's found in the beauty of nature or the dynamics of the big city. Sometimes it's in the most elegant places on earth. The artist Paul Gauguin found his muse among the islands and people of Tahiti. Other times it's in some of the most unimaginable of places or situations. Viktor Frankel found it in the Nazi concentration camps. Mother Teresa found inspiration in the slums of Calcutta. Nelson Mandela found his in a jail cell. These amazing authors share their life experiences and challenges and how inspiration played the key role in their overcoming adversity and growing as human beings. Some come from very modest means and some from great wealth. Some found their inspiration against incredible odds with no support from friends and family. Others had caring mentors who pointed the way. Whatever path you may be on, these stories will enlighten, enthuse and inspire you and, hopefully, lead you to inspire others.
