In Vocabulary of Silence, Poet Veronica Golos takes the fragments, the bits and pieces that reach us from the battlefield, and weaves them with a morality and a sorrow, to make us understand both our helplessness and our responsibility. http://veronicagolos.wordpress.com/2011/02/05/vocabulary-of-silence/
Taos resident AVIS VERMILE has entered the age of electronic publication with her just released e-book, The 23rd Psalm: in Your Own Words. She creates a context for us to make the 23rd Psalm come alive for ourselves. She shares her reflections and experiences and invites the reader to explore where these same words might take us, to see how they might illuminate our internal and external worlds. Vermilye uses her own experiences as an example of where one might go in such an exploration, and encourages the reader to do the same. Blank journal pages at the end are provided for the reader to jot notes, divine whispers, personal interpretation of the familiar psalm. The book can be downloaded from www.fum.org/shop and will soon be available on Amazon/Kindle.
