"The pages of Asparagus Roots aren't lined with words. Rather, they're painted with vivid word pictures that I couldn't help but pause to admire, linger over, and then let go to fully submerge myself in." ~ Laurie Buchanan, PhD, author of Note to Self: A Seven-Step Path to Gratitude and Growth, International Book Awards Winner, Body, Mind, Spirit Book Awards Winner, Forward Indies Winner, Nautilus Book Awards Winner ��_____________________________________ “Banning is a master of the spot-on metaphor, the intriguing title, the dazzling verb, the credible personification. This skill transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. Who knew someone could find such significance in cold feet, a dog’s nose, or the ‘brightness’ of a stew? The range here is vast: from dark places, to wry irony, to the blessings only pets can bestow. Under Banning’s sharp eye, July 4th becomes a statement about war. Her language sizzles with originality: the chemical sting of tears, the velvet of a mourning dove, the shadow of a hemlock, or the song of a fractured hip. In this collection, insight, humor, and lyricism encourage not only a new way to understand the world, but to appreciate it.” ~ Laurel Yourke, UW-Madison Emeritus, author of Beyond the First Draft: Deep Novel Revision __________________________________________ "A book of warm poetry and poetic prose, of home and family, and little slices of life. Sweet and bittersweet, this is a book to ponder, a book to savor, a book to remind us of all that really matters. Read it. You’ll be glad you did." ~ G. Egore Pitir, author of Face of our Father, Best Indie Book Award, 2015

Store Description

GloryBe Books & Ephemera, LLC is an on-line out-of-print book and ephemera marketplace. Our goal is to offer accurately described items at reasonable prices. Libraries will be able to stretch their book budgets and supplement their inventory. Academicians, bibliographers, researchers, collectors, and avid readers will discover that they can obtain a valued book or pamphlet for less than an alternative version of the original item. After over forty years in the book business there remains no greater joy than to connect an excited customer with a book or pamphlet needed to further research, add to a collection, find a favorite book to share with a child or simply locate a copy of a book written or illustrated by a family member. GloryBe Books & Ephemera was founded by a bibliophile with nearly five decades of experience who has decided to offer his private eclectic stock for sale. Items acquired from scholars, academicians, publishers, import book distributors, private collectors and renowned booksellers will be catalogued and added on a weekly basis. We believe we will be sustained in this endeavor by your letter of appreciation that your item arrived in a timely manner, accurately described at a fair price. We look forward to hearing from you.
