Kay published "Merrythoughts" in June 2005, with the help of EC Printing in Eau Claire WI. The book is a collection of many of my familiar verses and a few poems, divided into nine sections. Each section starts with a black and white collage (thanks to Oliver for helping) and a few pages of prose, introducing the section.
"Merrythoughts" is a nice, comfy size of 6" x 6", 124 pages, and paperback. Makes a great gift and is one of those little books you can pick up and read again and again!

The nine most excellent and wonderful sections of the book are:
# To Dream Is To Believe
# Life With Dogs & Other Living Creatures
# Imagination Is Excellent
# Love, Romance & All
# The World of Work
# Pondering The Bigger Questions of Life
# Magic, The Moon, & The Insanely Beautiful World In Which We Live
# Art, Writing, & Marc Chagall
# Living Life Rightly


"More Merrythoughts!"

At last! Her second book, a sort of companion volume to the first, is ready! This one is the same 6" square size as "Merrythoughts," 137 pages long, and composed of card/collage verses, prose, and art. The cover art is a detail of a large canvas I did in September 2007 to represent my gratitude following my car wreck in February of that year. The piece was titled "Saved."

This new book is divided into 9 sections that reflect on my accident, aging, school, and a variety of other topics with the following titles:

Breathing Gratitude
How To Spend Money
In One Ear Out the Other
Friendship & Loving Alliances
Chocolate Karma
Teacher Let the Mules Out
Mother of Sons
Rain
Living With Yes!

The verses in "More Merrythoughts" are either new since 2005 or were not included in the first volume, so you will find plenty to amuse and inspire.

Thanks to her son, Oliver Gerard, for his photo of my cover art.

The set usually ships within 1-2 weeks, based on availability.
