Hugo Wayne is trying his best to remain sane amid the insanity. He is convicted of credit card abuse in 2005 by a rural Texas court and is sentenced to prison. We come to know this itinerant political worker, combat Veteran, and Buddhist practitioner through his letters and other writings. We also learn the harsh realities of life inside the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. As Hugo explores the brutality and suffering of prison, he also addresses deep truths about himself and Buddhist practice. His accounts steer clear of cliches, yet remain authentic to his experience. Can Hugo Wayne become a better person in spite of his conditions, or will the State of Texas destroy his hopes of insight and healing?

This is noted Texas activist and Beat Poet, PW Covington's most extensive and ranging poetry collection to date. Accompanied by provocative photographic art, this collection spans some of Covington's most prolific periods from 1996-the current day. Some rarely performed pieces are published here for the first time, including "Mine is the Texas" and "A Poem to a Child on the Day of his Birth." Deliberately breaking from the "War Poet" mold that PW has occasionally found himself trapped and limited by with the success of his debut poetry book, "Like the Prayers of an Infidel," this volume rounds out his material and his voice. A unique foreword, written by those that know the poet best offers additional insight into the creative power that some have described as the heart of the "Beat poetry, military counter-culture." Recommended for mature audiences.

Ancient Buddhist teachings as translated from the original Pali canon. This reformatted publication with an opening commentary by writer and counselor PW Covington is an excellent and authentic introduction to the teachings of the Historical Buddha, as given to the world over 2500 years ago. Buddhism, like Christianity, has split in many sects/denominations, and these sects have often clung to their sectarian tenets as being the main and most indispensable features of their religion. This book follows none of the sectarian doctrines, but contains teachings upon which all Buddhists may consider common ground All proceeds from the sales of this book, in print and E-book format will go towards providing copies, free of charge to those in residential treatment programs, hospitals, and jails/prisons.

This new publication of Art of War is based on the ancient Chinese military treatise that is attributed to Sun Tzu. Tzu was a high ranking military general and strategist during the late Spring and Autumn period of Chinese military and social dominance. Composed of 13 chapters, each of which is devoted to one aspect of warfare, it is held by many to be the definitive work on military strategies and tactics of its time, and is still read for its military insights and examination of leadership qualities. The Art of War is one of the oldest and most successful books on military strategy in the world. This contempory exploration of Sun Tzu's text, by writer and Combat Service-Connected Disabled Veteran, PW Covington is designed to be practical and applicable to those that are fighting and have fought as members of the US Military during its era of Desert Warfare.
