By Celeste Nadine Gallucci, ASCAP, ISP
New Book of Poems for Mom and Grandma
Laguna Woods, CA � Make Mother and Grandmother feel all the more special with this new selection of poems heralding their unselfish love. Celeste Nadine Galucci, accomplished poet and ASCAP member, pays tribute to all mothers in her new poetry book Love into Poetry. This poetry collection is rich in imagery and profuse in love, respect, and gratitude for the special women in our lives. Bring a smile to their eyes with this new book as an extended celebration of Mother�s Day.
From the poem �Your Love To Me,� Galucci employs similes to describe a mother�s devotion, �Like a symphony of violins/With the sweetest harmony contained therein/...Like a choir of birds in enchanting sound/... Beautiful words echoing all around/...Is your love to me.� The book is actually composed of three parts. The first set of poems is for mothers, the second for grandmothers, and the third is a selection of poems that had been made by Galucci through the years. Having had a close relationship with her mother has inspired Galucci to create poems since she was a child. It was actually her mother who gave the title Love into Poetry, a fitting label for a daughter�s gratitude for the woman who loved and inspired her.
For Galucci, her mother had been a model of fortitude, faith in God, and love. In her childhood and teenage years, the poet had been stricken with debilitating diseases that doctors thought she would not live long. But her mother kept her faith and prayed for her child all along. In her new book of poetry, Galucci dedicates her works to the woman who had touched her life most. It is also to her mother that Celeste owes her artist blood. The late Patty S. Galucci was an ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) member and wrote numerous songs.

By Ruth Janko
Intriguing family tales set in eight different countries and spanning five generations illuminate the nature of parent-child relationships and its effect on the evolution of personality. They include the author’s personal experiences and observations of friends and acquaintances interacting with their offspring. Highlights from literature enhance the unique perspective Ruth Janko introduces into her work. She explores enigmatic personality traits including states of extreme anxiety, dysfunction, reckless self-defeating pursuits, as well as, crushing destructive behavior. Such cases are contrasted with positive developments, demonstrated in the ability to cope, resilience, in various aspects of personal strength, or as the author likes to put it: the potential to become a PERSON. Like a tenacious sleuth, she does not miss a clue, and her uncanny insights cast light on baffling quandaries. An untraditional approach sets the work apart from other parenting books. Rather, it aims to raise parents’ awareness by opening up new vistas of understanding with fascinating stories. Ruth Janko is an escapee from Nazi persecution and lived on three continents during her formative years. She is a retired librarian, life-long student of great literature with degrees from Hunter College, Columbia University, and Saint John’s University, a mother and grandmother. At an advanced age and afflicted with severe vision impairment, she has managed to transform her enduring interest in family interactions into stimulating narratives that seek to help parents to better understand their children.

By Linda S. Mueller
Book Summary In day to day life, the author too often observes poor parenting, spoiled children and irresponsible, lazy young adults who carry an air of entitlement, asserting that everyone owes them. Out of her passion for good parenting and her love for children, she wrote this simple guide of how she raised her three children, mistakes and all. There are no claims to perfect or great parenting, only the fact that her children have become responsible, hard-working, fun adults who contribute to society. Short, concise, written with a sense of humor, this easy read will give you pointers for child-rearing that works.

By Joyce Davis
For someone like Joyce, who was getting back into horses after a 40 year absence, finding the new, which is really reinventing the old, information on horse gentling was like making that discovery as a 6 year old that pollywogs turn into frogs. Now trainers speak of gentling the horse, not breaking it. We as people are becoming caring individuals who honor animals as the Native American’s did, as little sister and little brother. We are also finding that animals, in turn assist our growth and keep us in balance. The main theme of It's Hard to Stay on a Horse While You're Unconscious is the journey of mother and daughter into acquiring horses, and their resultant experiences. In It's Hard to Stay on a Horse While You're Unconscious we are traveling into a wild land, for in life we rarely know what lies beyond that next turning of the canyon walls. If we follow the Chapter Headings, though, we will have some guidelines, “Watch for Lions, Dodge Wildfires, Get a Horse, Stampede with a Mustang.”The trailblazing aspect of It's Hard to Stay on a Horse While You're Unconscious lies in it appendices. When Joyce noted that a horse needs trained on both sides, or a foal, when imprinted, needs to be massaged all over, she hypothesized that it had something to do with the Corpus callosum, which is the bridge between the two brain hemispheres. When studying the brain, she discovered it is first necessary to understand how a horse sees. Thus, following the narrative is a bit of science, an Appendix on The Eye, and one on The Brain.
