Words of Praise for Up North, in the Wild Orchid Country
In his poetry, Alan P. Smith uses his gift of words to reflect on his life - as he knows he is coming to its end. The pain and losses are intermingled with the joys he found in the woods, with his dogs, with the blond Dutch girl and on the shores of Lake Superior - up north in the wild orchid country.
His voice is raw with emotion, with memory of people and events in his life. It is also a voice of hopefulness - that there will be time to go fishing another day - somewhere.

In Kaleidoscope, Grace Harlow Klein shares the moments of her life that have fashioned the creation of her sense of self. Like a kaleidoscope, pieces of broken glass converge to provide the viewer with a cascade of colors and images, always changing and unique to the viewer.
Grace Harlow Klein's life events are expressed in prose, photographs and her art. Together the convergence of these expressions invited me, as I hope they do for you, to enter into her experiences with feelings of loss, grief and hope. Relationships, life events and the journeys of discovery are shared and when put together create a kaleidoscope of her world view.
I invite you to examine the pieces of your life that when put together create the beauty and wonder that abide within you, like a kaleidoscope!

“In a touching family remembrance, Grace adeptly balances life and death. Finding her voice, she illuminates how both kind and piercing, provincial and transcendent, damaging and empowering the experience of loss can be. The journey demonstrates how her life-long practice of empathy and courage for others as a nurse, psychotherapist, educator, and dean powerfully evokes the intimate nature of not only her own, but indeed all of our lives’ loves and losses. She somehow manages to trail blaze and offer a glacial poignance through the experience of both life and death.”
Jeffrey H. D. Cornelius-White, PsyD, LPC

Songs of Living by Armin Klein
In praise of Armin Klein’s
book of poetry, Songs of Living
Armin brings the process of growth out from behind closed doors of the therapist, making it more available and understandable for those interested in seeking it for themselves. He exposes human reasons for unhappiness and translates them into a positive life-enhancing force present within us all.
Sometimes humorous, often serious, through love, loss, friendship and death, and his own aging, Armin returns again and again to his feelings and the world of his own experience to define himself. He explores, through his relationships, the powerful impact of connection with others as the ultimate encounter with himself.
