Jesse Ehrenberg — Latest Publication Jesse Ehrenberg's Surprise! cracks down reality to its boiling point of now. He's one of many voices in U.S. poetry decrying the calamities and yet finding "sacred songs / in praise of tomorrow." All power to the poets like Jesse who are the lifeblood of America healthy and flowing as we all work through the prevailing idiocy. Jesse Ehrenberg — Bio Cindy Medina — Latest Publication In A Journey into the Heart of the Black Madonna: Self-Discovery, Spiritualism, and Activism, Ms. Medina eagerly invites the reader into her relationship with the Black Madonna and its transformative nature. We travel through her dreams, intuition, and relationships; we reach spiritual peaks, then descend into verdant valleys of change. Her exquisite descriptions of Nature serve as an awakening to the harsh contrast of environmental degradation, and the clarity of her writing shines light on important social issues. "Ms. Medina's love for the natural world inspires readers to stand up and protect their rivers and mountains, so that their children may always live in dignity and pride." Cindy Medina — Bio After graduating from Colorado State University with a BS in psychology and earning a Master's degree in Counseling from Arizona State University, Ms. Medina trained in Process-oriented Psychology, with an emphasis in Jungian Psychology, in Zurich, Switzerland. As the Alamosa Riverkeeper, she received the David Getches Flowing Waters Award for improving environmental water resources and recreational values in the Alamosa River through her efforts in collaboration, innovation and inspiration. Maggi A. Petton — Latest Publication Maggi A. Petton — Bio Maggi Petton is a poet and author of historical fiction. Her novels tell of the struggles of disenfranchised women throughout history...women of strength, courage and determination. Whether she is illuminating women's struggles during the Inquisition in Italy, or the American Civil War, her stories weave a tapestry of truth that resonate still. Today, more than ever, we need the depth, faith and insight of women pushed to the breaking point, who discover their strength and purpose. Maggi's characters give us that and more—they give us honesty and insight as they grow and learn about themselves and the times in which they live. All of Maggi's books have been finalists of the Arizona/New Mexico Book Awards. Born in Chicago, Illinois, Maggi has made her home in New Mexico since 1985, with her life partner of thirty four years. They have one daughter. | ||||||
