Review:
This poetry reminds me of Robert Frost and Sara Teasedale. Some of it is very lyrical, others almost epic. But all of it very beautiful. Diana would be proud, I think. A must read for anyone who appreciates real poetry and verse that is beautifully sculpted to tug at the heart strings.

Review:
SIGHT and SOUND says: "Reading LAID BARE is like finding a series of lost diaries by such icons as James Dean, Marailyn Monroe and Janis Joplin, all of whom John Gilmore--an LA-born child actor, alomst movie star, director and writer--hung out (if not slept) with before they became iconic. Beautifully written in a style somewhere between Jack Kerouac and Charles Bukowski and several light years away from the cobbled-together sleaze the title and dustjacket suggest, this is an astonishing book... Tead it above all for its insights into the failed lives and seamy side of Hollywood...

Review:
In the extraordinary story of Yang Erche Namu, life among the Moso is revealed for the first time in fascinating, intimate detail. Leaving Mother Lake is the story of one girl's coming-of-age in a world of women.
