Focus Review
 
I Could Have Been One
by Donald Wm. Jeffries
Dorrance Publishing 

"Will those, who have drifted away from Christianity, come back to it in order to save their soul for the next life?"

Author Jeffries recalls his personal history, expanding it to a broad vision of his nation and the world. Born during World War II, he recognized early on that men in his parents’ “Greatest Generation” were spurred by the trauma that all warfare can evoke and, therefore, strove to achieve more once they returned home, building new neighborhoods and aiming for meaningful employment. Similarly, American women who had contributed industrial efforts to the nation’s defense, symbolized by the popular image of “Rosie the Riveter,” resolved to be conscientious wives and parents while also starting to seek outside employment. The postwar years thus wrought numerous upswings in ordinary American life. Meanwhile, citizens of central Europe, where whole cities had been obliterated, were still grappling with extremely challenging aftermaths. One ominous signal was the burgeoning of Russian communism and its concomitant movements of socialism and similar, politically far-left movements.  ... (read more)

The US Review news was brought to you by...
Trista of Alacar by Troy Carr
 
"This work is an experience unto itself, one that takes traditional elements of fantasy and plants them into the modern world with supremely original results. Fantasy aficionados are in for a delightful read that lulls readers into losing themselves in the world Carr has created." 
– RECOMMENDED, The US Review of Books
Night of the Hawk by Lauren Martin
 
"This diverse collection of lyric poetry opens with an introduction to key terms from the Yorùbá religion Ifá. ...visual, challenging, empowering, and inspired."
– The US Review of Books
The Buddha and the Bee by Cory Mortensen
 
"Mortensens book is a universal read, a refreshing take on taking life by the horns and seeing what the road has in store for you. At every moment, the work has such a natural storytelling quality and flow that one almost wishes Mortensen had ridden another thirty-four days." 
- RECOMMENDED, The US Review of Books
In the Shadow of the Hatman by Ali Hatmanshadow Reynolds

"Steeped in the supernatural and with elements of science fiction and the occult, this fantasy story examines the dark side of seeking revenge and the strange ways in which redemption can offer itself. … A textured tale with twists, turns, and memorable characters."
- The US Review of Books
No Words…Just News by Peter Jacob Streitz
 
"Streitz dives into an impressive and expansive range of topics, tackling them head-on rather than tiptoeing around them as most normally do. ... His ability to capture everything from life and death to survival and madness is what makes this pocket poetry profoundly meaningful."
