Ian's debut book, Answer Then Question: Haikus and Other Poems is a collection of poetry comprised of both fictional and non-fictional inspirations. Ian takes a traditional style in Haikus and puts a modern taste to them. Some of Ian's poems are based on his life events and accounts but others are not at all, especially the more melancholy ones. Ian tends to take an actors approach to many of his poems, as in he gets most of his inspiration from observing people and then imagines a situation or scenario and puts himself in as the character of that story. He delves into these fictional situations so much so that as the reader you cannot believe that the events are not his own. Ian has yet to find a subject matter that he will not write and pour himself into. This book demonstrates just that with the wide range of topics he covers. Unlike some writers and poets that stick to particular themes of interest, Ian mixes them up with his favorite being EVERYTHING.

Winter Walk: A Collection of Poems, is the debut book of poetry from Canadian poet Brian Wood. Served up in the style of classical poems, this collection of verse channels all the old poets like Frost, Whitman, and Hopkins, and does so with a reverence and respect for the tradition of poetry that we see today being widely appreciated as contemporary voices of poets all over. Brian mixes and mingles with the best of them, and his collection of verse certainly aspires to remind us about where poetry came from and remind us about where it can go, which is to say an expedition that helps us all recall and recant memories and experiences that are as timeless as poetry itself. Reviews for WINTER WALK: A COLLECTION OF POEMS- "Brian Wood is the kind of poet who reminds me of my favorites (Larkin, Frost, Auden). His poems have a meter, and form, and a classicism that is missing from most modern poetry. His words have a refreshing resonance that reaches far beyond what you see on the page. I enjoy them a great deal." --Thomas Trofimuk, authorofWaiting For Columbus "Any man who loves dogs and words, especially together, is someone I like. Any one who uses those words as Brian Wood does in this collection of his poems, I admire. There are questions here, some with answers, all provoking. There are moments here we have all felt, both of helplessness and of surprising inner strength. Take a walk with his dogs and his words -- you'll find it refreshing."-- Roy MacGregor, author of Northern Light

CAUSE, CURE AND CANCER FREE is the self-help autobiography of John Marra, a Cleveland Ohio business man who found out he had cancer and decided to do something about it. Instead of giving in to the doctors around him that were insisting he would die if he didn't have an operation to help fix what was wrong inside of him, John decided to learn about what causes cancer and how to beat it. He did just that. After researching for what seemed like forever, John totally came to the conclusion that the only way to rid himself of cancer was to COMPLETELY change his lifestyle, starting with what he ate. He found that by making sure his ph levels in his blood stayed not to acidic or become saturated with alkaline, he would be able to really help his body fight the disease that was killing him. Along with this, he also learned that this wouldn't be enough to make sure his cancer would stay away. He had to also do several other important things, all of which he explains in this book. John Marra is currently cancer free and hopes to remain this way. He also wants everyone out there to realize they, too, can beat cancer, and become a cancer escapee like he did. It's not an absolute cure by any means, but it's a chance for many people who have been told they don't have one when it comes to fighting cancer.
