--12/13/21 Blurb.com is not showing that The Story of Doves book is also for sale on Ingram/Amazon/other online book retailers although book is for sale in those places.  Also still having trouble having books show up in bookstore search bars when book titles and/or author name typed in.  Working on fixing that along with reported errors of publication dates.
 

For example, Discover Books bookseller is selling the books, but the books cannot be found there when book titles and author name are typed in for search. 

So here are url links to use instead for anyone interested:

--12/10/21 Two of blurb children's tradebook versions (Critters book and Doves Two book) back up and priced

  --Oct/Nov 2021 Apologies for some current issues with blurb books, ISBNs, and their availability. 

Also blurb's bookmaking costs increased recently.

Lynne is planning to get two books back up on blurb.com that disappeared,

as book pricing is prohibitive on Ingram/Amazon/other online retailers via the blurb.com contract

with the dove book list price of $29.98 also only being 42 cents earnings for author.

Head Rearrangement

 

What made me think

that a mounted head on a wall was okay?

Above the fireplace, remnants of a moose

jut out as if the partial animal belongs there,

its foam-stitched skull screwed together,

glass eyes touched with clay

staring interminably without body, some

tanned, twisted presentation of death, vestige

constructed by taxidermist

as if

stuffed, wild creature seeming to break through wall

at forever-at-peace pace to remind—remind us of what?—

that you, its hunter, killed the animal with a gun?—

How you didn’t miss in your shots?

That you scared and delivered pain several times

till the animal lay dead in a blood-spilled no escape?

Maybe someday your own human head

will hang in a home of another alien species,

the trophy of you signifying that your attacker

got you—shot you right in the back—

another easy slaying preserved for all to view—

one more human who didn’t see it coming—

clueless you—foraging prey. 

You’d proclaim you didn’t deserve it—

yet you’d have no voice to call out

to question such an ill-begotten fate.

Your death to silence

would be way beyond your control.
