'A hilarious book of bad times, bedtimes and benders. It is a kind of cool parody of On the Road.' New Statesman No Particular Place to Go (first published in 1981) relates Hugo Williams's journey across the USA on a three-month poetry-reading tour wherein he also hoped to discover some of the America he had imagined for so long on the strength of its all-consuming popular culture. ' No Particular Place to Go isn't a book that you'd take on a visitor's itinerary of the States . . . But the journey it describes is a potent one . . . It offered a poet's eye on modern culture, a cool, sideways perspective on its consumers and an enviable traveller's voice - not just unafraid of meeting the locals but positively keen to jump in and grab whatever was on offer.' John Walsh, Independent

Reading No Particular Place to Go, his collection of Old Testament sermons, will spark many creative sermon ideas as you prepare to preach. Dr. Thomas Lane Butts Monroeville, Alabama 1996 Protestant Hour Preacher Timothy Smith achieves two important goals in his Old Testament lectionary series. First, he is faithful to the text as he tells the story. Second, he provides helpful ways for contemporary Christians to relate the Old Testament to their everyday lives. Dr. Rodney E. Wilmoth Minneapolis, Minnesota These sermons bring the ever-present human condition off the pages of the Old Testament and into the realities of the late twentieth century. They focus on the ancient scriptures through the lens of the gospel in a way that proclaims salvation without moralizing. Dr. Kendall K.

The poems in this book reflect some of what Dr. Barclay has acquired in his journey of self-discovery of the vicissitudes of life. They poetically articulate his emotions, concerns and insights on several topical issues, situated historically, socially and intellectually. Most of the poems deal with his experience during the Liberian civil crisis. The rest deals with family, friends, love relationships and philosophical views of other aspects of life in general. He says that the poems were written basically from his heart, a heart that feels the pain, sorrow, disappointment and disgust of the death, barbarity, devastation and deprivation caused by the Liberian civil war; they were written from his mind, a mind that seeks understanding and empathy and envisions a better tomorrow; and they were written as a voice, a voice of a person simply speaking to another. While it is true that a poem rarely means the same thing to each person, he has tried to penetrate objective reality in some of the poems, conveying what he hopes are clear concepts and feelings. In others, he has deliberately left it to the reader's imagination, experience, insights and feelings, through which one may derive unique interpretations and significance. "Liberia in Thoughts and Plans and Other Poems treats complex issues through subtle expressions of feelings and imaginations that convey various aspects of reality... Like other great works of poetry, Barclay's poetic visions are subject to the interpretations of the reader." --Wokie M. Weah
