Letters to a Young Poet

Review:I am no intellectual, and stumbled upon this book through a ladies' magazine article asking celebs what they were reading. Elizabeth Shue, whose talent I really enjoy, mentioned Letters to a Young Poet. The book is for the open-minded and the big- hearted, teachable few that possess the intellectual chops to parse and absorb the beauty of Rilke's words and insight. It is both a comfort and an inspiration. I LOVE this book. Buy it, and share some time with it, and yourself. Read more

Review:I have been following Najwa Zebian on the social media for a long while, and I absolutely loved all of her posts/writings and daily reminders - then I ordered Mind Platter because I KNEW that it would live to my expectations ... and it did. I LOVE it. It makes you think, and it puts words on the feelings that you can't explain to anyone. Mind Platter really touched my soul. Thanks to Najwa for this work of art! Much love from Denmark Read more

Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats

Review:Wonderful collection. My son's favorite is "The Naming of Cats". Early on, the poetry teaches an appreciation of language and rhythm and words. Think we started reading it to him 6 month to a year. Of course, he was more engaged because we had a great cat. Read more

Gorgias (Penguin Classics)

Review:I was very disappointed with the product. It was described as "Used, Very Good" with no marking or writing inside. Today I received a book that was stained and marked with pencil, pen, and highlighter. The outside cover had been folded at least a few times and a large piece of tape was barely holding the back cover together. Overall, I was very disappointed. Read more
