This amazing collection of poets -- including two centenarians; an award-winning reporter who was an applicant for the NASA Journalist in Space Project; an NFL running back on New York Jets teams with Joe Namath; a world traveler who's been to the Arctic and Antarctica; a Hungarian refugee whose family escaped the Holocaust and, later, Soviet rule; a philosopher who got a ventriloquism lesson from future Tonight Show legend Johnny Carson; a poet who met President Bill Clinton, acted with Love Boat captain Gavin MacLeod and slept on a resort mattress once graced by Marilyn Monroe and Joltin' Joe DiMaggio; and, a co-founder of Doctors Without Borders U.S.A. -- met in a class taught by Kandel, a former U.S. Marine who appeared on a 1952 U.S. Postage Stamp featuring "Women in Our Armed Services."

Executive Director of the Walt Whitman Birthplace Association Cynthia Shor said of 13 Poets from Long Island: "Enter and you will be captivated with a multitude of inspirational origins - from Penn Station to Poseidon's briny kingdom, from Marilyn Monroe's mattress to a murder of crows, from bitter herbs to blackboards. Hear the soothing voice of Daddy's mantra or the silence of a latch key child. One poet asks if the beginning of a poem is a word whispered in a dream, while another finds a poem in a garden of verses. Skillfully written and beautifully assembled, this anthology offers poems that come alive with emotions and melody . . . " "Whether contemplating history, war, marriage, or the handiness of a narwhal tusk in fighting off one's enemies, the poems largely reflect both the times in which we live and the sensibilities of the individual poets" -- Kirkus Reviews Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

BookLife by Publishers Weekly Comparable Titles: Emma Donoghue's Room and Lisa Jewell's Then She Was Gone"(Valenti) provides In Cold Blood-like depth to this fictional account" -- Kirkus Reviews"If you're not losing sleep over what happened to little Bobby Goodson, I don't know what book you're reading" -- Toni Woodruff, Independent Book Review"Valenti's background in journalism shines through . . . the result being a no-frills, unflinching look at grief and uncertainty that lingers long after the final page" -- BookLife, Publishers WeeklyA frantic mother tells cops her kids have vanished in broad daylight from outside a suburban Long Island market on Halloween. Inspired by one of the oldest unsolved missing child cases in U.S. history [the 1955 disappearance of Steven Damman] and other worldwide missing child cases like it, For Nothing Is Hidden, is a cautionary tale spanning more than 50 years -- from the initial disappearance of little Bobby Goodson to its impact on the already tenuous marriage of his small-town, middle America-raised parents en route to the unlikeliest of resolutions decades later. You'll think you'll know it all from the start. Truth is, you won't.The debut novel by John A. Valenti 3rd, a veteran national award-winning journalist for the Long Island, New York-based Newsday.Valenti's decades of insightful, in-depth reporting shine through as this novel explores the often untold strains of a criminal investigation, peeling back layers on the marriage of Driscoll and Colleen Goodson as police and the media pore through the smallest details of their lives in an attempt to find their missing son. Valenti ties in real crimes of the day -- the so-called "Shooting of the Century" killing of millionaire William Woodward Jr. by his socialite wife Ann; the famed "Boy in the Box" mystery -- in a seamless weave of events that blur the line between fact and fiction in this literary, historic crime novel.As BookLife, Publishers Weekly, said of the debut: "Valenti skillfully probes the heartbreaking tragedy of missing child cases: the slow, unraveling grief of not knowing, the persistent hope that tomorrow may bring news, and the quiet terror of imagining the worst, all colliding against the exhausting machinery of police procedure, by necessity methodical and impersonal . . . There's a clean precision in how the investigation unfolds and a restraint in tone that sidesteps melodrama." This item is printed on demand.
