A Walk Through Nature, is a dynamic look at the natural world
through the eyes of a poet and a photographer. Marta Moran
Bishop's, stunning photography and vibrant verses enabled me to
visualize, smell, and feel our world. Saket Suryesh, an author and
poet, kindly allowed us to add some of his brilliant and
emotionally, charged verses to this collection. This book would
grace any table and is sure to become a valuable asset to any
collection. KL Springer - Author Dark Goddess
Innocence and Wonder, like Wee Three: A Mother's Love in Verse, is
written from the perspective of a child, and is full of verses that
range from bugs, dogs, pigs, and nature. It is a terrific book
written to charm and enthrall the child in all of us. Ms. Bishop,
has once again produced a book to entertain those of all ages and
help us see the world as a place of wonder and joyful simplicity.
If you enjoyed Shel Silverstein, you will surely fall in love with
Innocence and Wonder.
In a world where the Gods walk and their spirits commune with
mankind, there must be those trained while in a trance to intercede
with them, for the good of the tribe. Mondoani, a young woman, is
chosen by the Gods to take the place of the Old Mother upon her
passing. Is this frail young woman strong enough to hold the
spirits of the Gods when they descend? For it will be her
responsibility to hold the memories of all those who have lived
before. These memories of the past are the keys to the survival of
her people and she will need to find the strength of spirit and
body to help protect and lead her people. For they must travel
across the dead lands and snowy plains to a place they can safely
spend the winter or die from starvation in a land devoid of rain.
But before she can accomplish that she must choose an apprentice
from among the young girls and women, someone who can take her
place should she fall. Will Mondoani's youth and inexperience
condemn the tribe to death or will she rise above it and with the
help of the magical world choose correctly?
Keeping The Upper Paw: A Cat's Guide To Training Your Human, is a
humorous look at life, humans, and living with humans through the
eyes of a cat.
Dinky: The Nurse Mare's Foal is the story of one little foals fight
for survival after being taken from his mother within hours of his
birth. Dinky, takes us on a poignant trip through the heart and
mind of an animal, who was born for the sole purpose of producing
milk in the mare. In the elite world of horses, Dinky was
considered a by-product, a 'junk foal.' Dinky's story will resonate
with animal lovers, as well as anyone who has adopted. Although a
horse, his story has been called an adoption story. The reader can
follow him through the heartbreak, cruelty, loneliness, and finally
to happiness in his forever home. His story is based on true
events. Each event from the moment the author met Dinky actually
happened, though it is the author's interpretation of what he might
have been thinking and feeling during the occasions described in
his story. His early life which is unknown has been fictionalized
by the author and constructed through research and imagination.
There are many wonderful animal rescue leagues, many are very
empathic to these young animals, though some are not. Since Ms.
Bishop has no knowledge of Dinky's early days she used the latter
to enhance the strength of his story. It will break your heart,
open your eyes, lift you up, and teach you much about horses. It is
suitable for all ages.
Wee Three: A Mother's Love in Verse, began with a few simple verses
written by Helen Springer Moran, Ms. Bishop's grandmother. Marta
Moran Bishop expanded those verses, wrote others and Wee Three was
born. Wee Three, is guaranteed to make you smile, laugh, and
remember the days of your own youth. It is a highly entertaining
read for both children and adults and will delight the reader with
its simple verses. If you enjoyed, A.A. Milne or Robert Louis
Stevenson's children's verses, you are sure to love Ms. Bishop's,
Wee Three: A Mother's Love in Verse.
Marta Moran Bishop continues her journey in Sunlight and Shadows.
This book of poetry, unlike A Poet's Journey: Emotions, is a more
thought provoking book. In its pages, her verses deal with
everything from God, to life after death, war, and the shooting in
Newtown, Connecticut. Still she is able to bring to life the beauty
and grandeur of her surroundings and make us laugh, cry, think, and
feel. Sunlight and Shadows will once again take you on an emotional
journey through life.
A Poet's Journey: Emotions is Ms. Bishop's first book of adult
poetry. In its pages, you will find the good, bad, and beautiful of
being human. It is divided into six categories, Love, Death,
Betrayal, Nature, Villain or Hero, and Silly Me. The verses include
a glimpse into the heart and soul of one woman, who lived through
an emotional roller-coaster year, yet retained her ability to see
the silly side to things and beauty in the world around her. If you
like poetry, this is the book for you if you have grown up thinking
poetry is difficult to understand, pick this book up for, within
it, you might find something that will resonate deeply with you.
This unique collection brings together works as diverse and
influential as The Works of Edgar Allan Poe, the poems of Elizabeth
Barrett Browning, Maya Angelou, and Robert Frost. It is must-have
addition to any library.
