Dream Work, a collection of forty-five poems, follows both chronologically and logically Mary Oliver's American Primitive, which won her the Pulitzer Prize for the finest book of poetry published in 1983 by an American poet. The depth and diversity of perceptual awareness—so steadfast and radiant in American Primitive—continue in Dream Work. She has turned her attention in these poems to the solitary and difficult labors of the spirit—to accepting the truth about one's personal world, and to valuing the triumphs while transcending the failures of human relationships.Whether by way of inheritance—as in her poem about the Holocaust—or through a painful glimpse into the present—as in "Acid," a poem about an injured boy begging in the streets of Indonesia—the events and tendencies of history take on a new importance here. More deeply than in her previous volumes, the sensibility behind these poems has merged with the world. Mary Oliver's willingness to be joyful continues, deepened by self-awareness, by experience, and by choice.

From its first mention in biblical references up through its emergence as the international cuisine of the nineties, yogurt has been the constant kitchen cure-all. And particularly in the last decade, nature’s greatest original prepared food has become a major staple in the American diet. Cooking with Yogurt explores the countless ways to fit yogurt into meals: as the main course; as a side dish; as a sauce for meats, vegetables, and grains; as a substitute for butter, mayonnaise, or eggs; as a complement to traditional ethnic foods; and as a low-calorie, low-fat alternative to rich dairy products.The 150 recipes in Cooking with Yogurt are delicious and healthy, yet marvelously simple to prepare. They span the entire range of culinary endeavor–from breakfast to a midnight snack, from hors d”oeuvres to mouthwatering deserts to thirst-quenching drinks. The variety will astound even the most imaginative cooks: there are recipes for Smoked Salmon Mousse, Indonesian Shrimp Barbecue, Vichyssoise, Roasted Eggplant Soup, Fajitas, Grilled Yogurt-Glazed Swordfish, and even savory breads and breakfast treats, such as Yogurt Chive Cornbread and Cinnamon Coffee Cake.Cooking with Yogurt is the perfect combination of elegant simplicity and delicious variety for all cooks everywhere.

It started fifty years ago with a couple of baseball games. Then came pro football, basketball, hockey, more baseball, the Olympics, golf, bowling, stock car racing, skiing, tennis, volleyball, badminton, darts, and anything else producers could find to sell a few beers. Every man who hasn’t gone out into the woods to find his wild man is plunked down on the living room sofa in front of the twenty-seven-inch-diagonal screen.Marriages crumble, family time disappears, hardbodies go to flab–TV sports are taking over the world.Now, just in the nick of time, Norman Chad offers a hilarious, biting, and incisive look at television sports. First he takes to task the excesses of sports TV: too much viewing (and its effect on the home), too much college basketball, too much talk from announcers, too much figure skating, too many replays, and too many jock analysts–not to mention the biggest, loudest personalities bringing us the games: Dick Vitale, Chris Berman, Tim McCarver, and John Madden. Next, he poses some questions: What’s wrong with ‘monday Night Football,” and how can we fix it? What’s it like to watch twenty-four consecutive hours of ESPN? What’s with the explosion of all-sports radio, and how can we stop it? Does golf really need to be televised? Finally, Chad offers a few radical solutions–eliminating all jock analysts, for instance, or simply announcing games yourself from the home–and then concludes that the only answer just may be complete abstinence from all sports viewing.Hold On, Honey, I’ll Take You to the Hospital at Halftime is the first book to take a humorous look at the hugely popular phenomenon of TV sports and is certain to appeal to all armchair quarterbacks–as well as to all wives who would like to turn off the tube and get their husbands to rake the yard.

One of the most original novels of Los Angeles in recent years, Stars Screaming takes us beyond the shimmering phenomenon of Hollywood into back streets strewn with the fallout of fame and fortune. Ray Burk is a network censor struggling to break into The Business as a screenwriter. As his wife begins to lose her grip on reality, Burk spends entire days in his car on an endless journey through Los Angeles. His path weaves the present of his dissolving family with the shattering events of his past, circling into the Los Angeles underworld, where his friends, lovers, and enemies intertwine with a volatile mix of pimps, winos, and washed-up starlets who drink away the afternoons trying to recapture the glory days that somehow evaded them. And as the dark secrets emerge, Burk too begins to unravel.Spanning an arc from the golden 1930s to the bitter 1970s, Stars Screaming is a remarkable portrait of a lost era that captures the moment when the American dream fell apart.
