"I want to write about the beauty of life. About the aching, painful beauty of life. And the sadness, the poignancy, that seems to be its inseparable companion." Thus we introduce, with his own words, a new poetry collection by a unique voice. Frederick A. Smith looks at American culture and is not pleased. He proposes to his readers a gentler, wiser alternative to the hyper-competitive, hyper-violent world we have made. Born in California, with deep family roots in the Hawaiian Islands, Mr. Smith displays an exquisite lyricism, a simple, clean style, and a deep love of life. His is an island perspective; his time flows slower than ours, his voice is softer. His themes embrace the rejection of striving, of progress, in favor of a sensuous new deal, in which love, in all its aspects, replaces acquisition and power as our goals.

The Dramatic Conclusion to Michael Phillips's Shetland Islands Saga Loni Ford's unexpected inheritance of substantial real estate--not to mention a title--in the Shetland Islands has caused more than a stir in the quiet fishing hamlet of Whales Reef. How is life ever to be the same with an outsider--and a woman, at that--playing such a pivotal role in the life of this conservative community? But it isn't just the locals who have deep misgivings about the current situation. Loni herself never imagined this in her wildest dreams. What Loni is more sure of, however, is that she is falling in love--with Whales Reef, with its hardy people, with its simple, peaceful way of life, and with local chieftain David Tulloch, whose inheritance she has usurped, at least in the eyes of some. But life in Whales Reef is not without drama. Deep rifts exist between certain lifelong residents, and when one local resident turns up dead, suspicion is cast in the direction of the island's most prominent family. How Loni and David deal with this challenge will go a long way in determining their future, and that of the quaint island community.
