Warren Grossman: To Be Healed By the Earth
In 1987, Warren Grossman contracted a parasitic
disease during a vacation to Brazil. Doctors gave him only weeks to
live, and each day he felt his energy seeping away. Sent home to die,
he went outdoors to lie on the ground each day, and gradually the
energy he felt emanating from the Earth began to strengthen his body
and mind. In this second edition, Grossman interweaves his expertise as
a
psychologist with his natural gift for healing in this tranquil,
generous acknowledgment that physical strength and emotional wellbeing
are possible to grasp simply by reconnecting with the Earth. Grossman’s
words are elegantly paced with beautiful illustrations that anchor his
message: nature and love are the keys to good health. A psychologist
with a Ph.D. from Kent
State University and the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland, Grossman is
the
training director of The Warren Grossman School of Healing, and
maintains a private healing practice in
Cleveland.

Michael Ceraolo: Euclid Creek
This 130-page epic poem traces the origins of Euclid Creek and proceeds
to illuminate hundreds of years of Northeast Ohio history as it
meanders like the flow of water through people, places and events that
have shaped the destiny of the land that we call home. A must read for
denizens of the Western Reserve.
"Michael Ceraolo may be the most versatile poet writing in America
today... This was Moses Cleaveland’s creek; now it is Michael
Ceraolo’s." -- Dr. Kelley J. White, poet

Our domino group seems to be winding down, but we'll have one last
official evening of Mexican Train during Harriett's birthday party on
Friday the 9th. There will be a big party to boot, mind you, but that
doesn't mean we can't inspire some new folks to join the game, and
enjoy the festivites in a more festive atmosphere.
Bloomsday Book Club
Thursday, March 22, 7pm
We have just begun! With a stalwart group of half a dozen hardy
lit buffs, we will tackle the greatest book of the 20th century, James
Joyce's Ulysses. The first assignment is to read the first
two chapters, plus any annotations or Bloomsday Book notes to
help analyze it. We'll meet the fourth Thursday of each month, so if
you missed the first meeting, don't fret, just read the first two
chapters and come on the 22nd.

C481:chicken finds
ancient city
A picture book I read in the early 1950's. A hungry chicken
belonging to a poor old woman scratches the dusty ground, looking for
food, and keeps scratching until it uncovers a large ancient city. And
after that, woman and chicken are not starving any more! Based on my
very dim memories, or perhaps later knowledge, setting might have been
Italy and the ruin might have been Roman.

Show and Tell Session
YOU are invited to bring your biblio treasures
and tell us
their stories! Where did they
come from, what makes them special, have you ever seen illustrations
like this? We'll each share some gems, and gain some knowledge from
the collective group. With book collectors, librarians, afficianados,
dealers, bookbinders, and historians in the group, it will be more than
an "Antiques Roadshow" experience, as we'll learn about the history,
bibliographies, biographies, and values of the books, and put the book
into its cultural history context. So bring your gems from the attic,
garage sale curios, and prized possessions. Learn a little, teach a
tad. Admission: $3 (free to members of the Northern Ohio Bibliophilic
Society).

something to do with books? For this year's contest categories,
