MY LIFE WITH WORDS
by Hugh Aaron
My Life with Words is a collection of essays, short stories, classic movie
reviews, and poems. On approaching his ninth decade Aaron has compiled this volume of such disparate writings because he believes these short pieces deserve to be shared. Will his writings be of interest to current and future generations? Hopefully yes, because they provide a view into what was happening on this planet and why over the course of a long lifetime. As the sages suggest, to understand the present one needs to know the past.
Reader comments: "It has been a wonderful ride reading it all." "Hugh Aaron's book is truly a modern odyssey of both a man and his time." "Reading My Life With Words is like sitting down with fine conversation and a good cup of coffee." "It is a trip of ideas and wisdom that come with age and experience. It is almost as good as the real thing."
269 pages. $19.95

novel with locomotive force, rare in its honest
presentation of the drama of business. The author holds

insight." "No one should get and MBA until

THE BUD WILSON DREAM
BOOK by Barbara Kramer - Winner of the
Maine Arts Commission Individual Artist Fellowship
Award...The Bud Wilson Dream
Book is a powerful, funny novel about loss and emptiness.
As wacky as this novel is, it is built on a wholly
credible premise. Sally's dream life touches down and
carries the reader with her, through stages of grief,
healing, and growth, on a poignant, often hilarious,
modern day adventure. Congratulations, Barbara
Kramer.
(Geof Hewit, author and poet)... The Bud Wilson Dream Book is the most
imaginative of all the fiction I read for the Maine Arts
Awards. Barbara Kramer achieves a kind of poetry in the
wonderful letters Sally Stone receives about the dreams
late night television viewers weave around TV host, Bud
Wilson. (Suzanne Brown, author, teaches
creative writing at Dartmouth College.)
