The Lisburn Press is pleased to announce a new publication, a book of poetry, by long time author, Jim Brown. This is Brown’s eighth book, all published by The Lisburn Press. But this is his first book of poetry. Brown says he did not discover poetry. Rather poetry found him.

“As I get older,” Brown reminisces, “I have discovered the special rhythms and a simpler way of living by writing poems.  Many of my poems reflect my own memories and emotions, but also leave interpretive room by stripping away ornament to only see what matters most to me. I have especially enjoyed writing poems that the reader can feel without demanding a lot of specialized knowledge.”  To order the book, go to www.thelisburnpress.com.

Author Peggy Sweeney -McDonald has a wonderful new book published through The Lisburn Press about how she embraced the journey with her mother’s Alzheimer’s disease. She calls her challenge “one pink cloud moment at a time.” So many families must deal with Alzheimer’s today. Peggy’s book offers wonderful insights to her challenges, and how she dealt with her reference to make her mother happy. A wonderful book that I highly recommend.

Jim Brown speaks to the Baton Rouge Women’s Book Club at the Country Club of Louisiana recently. Glad to see there are still many booklafiles actively reading in Baton
Rouge. Jim is pictured with Missy Couhig, owner of the conundrum bookstore in Saint Francisville.
