Kinyamaswa, by Andreas Morgner, earns the Literary Classics Seal of Approval


Kinyamaswa - An Epic Poem is the exploration of humanity as seen through the eyes of Rwandan refugees and soldiers following the horrific genocide of 1994.  Poet Andreas Morgner follows the harrowing lives of those valiant individuals who struggled to maintain hope in a time and place where boys fought men's battles, and optimism was fool's folly.

Heartwrenching scenes of courage and tenacity bring the realities of war to light alongside the bleak and mundane in this honest rendition of endurance beneath the shadows of conflict. A pensive study of the souls of man, this book offers a rare glimpse into the lives of individuals holding on to the shreds of their withering prospects of survival.

Kinyamaswa is highly recommended and has earned the Literary Classics Seal of Approval.

Book Review - Dear Frank: Babe Ruth, The Red Sox, and the Great War



Dear Frank: Babe Ruth, The Red Sox, and the Great War is a work of fiction chronicled through a series of letters penned by a young boy to his big brother, Frank, during World War I.  This book relays the many hopes and dreams of Bostonians as seen through the eyes of a young boy.  The politics of war and baseball play a key role in this story, as does the touching sentiment of a brother and family who all greatly miss the presence of Frank  in their lives.  Gems of historical fact are interspersed throughout the book, making this a fascinating and enjoyable read.

W. Nikola-Lisa exhibits rare talent in this genuinely touching book about the bond between brothers, the hardships of war. . . and the joy of baseball. 

Dear Frank: Babe Ruth, The Red Sox, and the Great War is a Seal of Approval Recipient and earned two Gold Awards in the 2013 Literary Classics International Book Awards.
