Suspicious Titles
The foundation of 'Suspicious Titles' is built with poems from my early period, ranging between 1975 and 1988 that are often directly written as welcome affirmations of the painful struggle that we may all find ourselves facing should we slip through the boundaries of their difficult truths. They are welcome via their attempts at understanding the various dilemmas at their core - the situations and emotional conditions that have us lost and wandering in an existential maze. As an initial proposition, I can say that much of 'Suspicious Titles', though somewhat semi- autobiographical, not only deals with the important details that form the various entanglements of lives, it tends to deal with them in terms of their place in the wider picture and sometimes in abstract and creative ways and from different viewpoints. This is especially true now we are viewing these poems at a distance in time, and although there are two books written earlier than this, 'Suspicious Titles' could certainly be considerd as the first to carry the style of my later work into its own future.

In her haunting new poetry collection, Hovering, Carol V. Davis explores how disease steals what makes us human. These poems explore what it means when language and memory uncouple like merry-go-round animals that break free and gallop off.

Letters To Dead Authors

Rather than presenting a typical critique, the work takes the form of reflective letters that explore ideas about creativity, admiration, and the lasting influence of written expression. Each letter becomes an intimate conversation with the past, examining how stories and language can outlast their creators. The narrator reflects on the power of books to impact readers across time, considering how authors might respond to admiration, criticism, or the shifting values of society. Humor and sincerity blend as the letters consider fame, legacy, and the mysterious connection between writer and audience. Instead of focusing on specific events or personal anecdotes, the text highlights the emotional weight of literature and the fascination with understanding minds that can no longer speak. The collection invites readers to think about why certain works endure and how the act of writing can create a dialogue between generations. Through this reflective approach, the book becomes a tribute to imagination and a meditation on the enduring life of ideas.

Sophist
Sophist examines the search for clarity in defining what is real and what only appears to be. The dialogue begins with a small group engaging in a structured discussion about how to identify those who manipulate language for persuasion rather than truth. Through examples and comparisons, they analyze how someone can appear knowledgeable without possessing genuine understanding. The conversation gradually expands into deeper reflection on existence itself, questioning what it means for something to be or not be. By breaking down ideas and categorizing different forms of imitation, the discussion reveals how easily perception can be shaped by skillful argument. As the dialogue progresses, the participants attempt to separate honest inquiry from deception, showing how philosophy relies on reasoning rather than appearance. The text encourages readers to examine their own assumptions, demonstrating that seeking truth requires patience and careful questioning. Ultimately, the work highlights the importance of distinguishing between knowledge and illusion, illustrating how language can either enlighten or mislead when used without integrity.
The Wind In The Rose-Bush And Other Stories Of The Supernatural
The wind in the rose-bush and other stories of the supernatural is a collection that explores eerie encounters and the subtle interplay between human emotion and the uncanny. The opening story introduces a woman traveling to a quiet village to reclaim her niece, only to find the atmosphere thick with unease and mysterious tension. Her journey is marked by interactions with wary locals whose behavior hints at hidden secrets and unspoken fears. As she approaches her destination, the presence of a controlling and enigmatic family member intensifies the sense of foreboding, blending psychological anxiety with hints of the supernatural. The collection emphasizes how ordinary settings can conceal extraordinary disturbances, making the familiar feel unsettling. Through reflective narration and carefully crafted suspense, each story investigates the ways fear, curiosity, and moral uncertainty shape human experience. Supernatural elements serve not just to shock but to mirror internal conflicts and desires, revealing the fragility of perception and the hidden complexities of social and familial dynamics. The wind in the rose-bush ultimately invites readers to explore the shadowed corners of both environment and psyche.
The Polity Of The Athenians And The Lacedaemonians
The polity of the Athenians and the Lacedaemonians is a historical account that examines and compares the governmental structures and social institutions of Athens and Sparta, two leading city-states of ancient Greece. Xenophon analyzes the nature of Athenian democracy and Spartan oligarchy, exploring how each system functions and the roles played by different social classes. The work begins with a detailed look at Athens, highlighting both the contributions of its poorer citizens, particularly in maintaining naval strength, and the tensions arising from democratic principles that empower the lower classes while limiting elite influence. Xenophon then contrasts this with Sparta's rigidly militaristic society, emphasizing discipline, hierarchy, and civic duty. Through this comparison, the text explores broader themes of political stability, social justice, and the interplay between governance and societal structure. By providing insight into civic organization, class dynamics, and institutional priorities, Xenophon offers a nuanced understanding of how differing political systems shape human behavior, societal cohesion, and the capacity for collective action.
Lysis
Lysis examines the idea of friendship through a reflective conversation that questions why people form meaningful bonds. The work follows an exploration where a thoughtful speaker guides younger participants to examine what makes someone truly care for another. Instead of focusing on events or dramatic action, the dialogue moves through reasoning and introspection. It considers whether friendship is rooted in similarity, shared values, or the benefit one receives from another person. The discussion challenges familiar assumptions, arguing that companionship might emerge from the pursuit of what is good and desirable rather than from personal gain. The conversation also touches on the idea that individuals often seek relationships to fill a sense of lack or to find wisdom they do not already possess. Although the dialogue presents many possibilities, it intentionally leaves the concept unresolved, emphasizing that the nature of true connection cannot be confined to a single explanation. Through questions rather than answers, the text encourages readers to consider how relationships shape personal growth and understanding. Ultimately, Lysis offers a thoughtful and open-ended meditation on the human desire for emotional closeness and shared goodness.
Charmides
Charmides examines the pursuit of temperance through an extended conversation that takes place during a casual gathering. Instead of focusing on individuals, the work studies the difficulty of defining self-control and inner discipline. The opening scene introduces a return home after time spent in demanding circumstances, where familiar surroundings lead to reflection and renewed curiosity about personal development. A discussion begins when a newcomer enters, admired for outward grace, prompting the question of whether genuine balance can exist beneath external appearance. Through a series of exchanges, temperance is connected to quiet behavior, then reconsidered as modest conduct, and finally interpreted as an understanding of one's own mind. Each explanation raises further uncertainty, showing that moderation is more than restraint or politeness. The search becomes an investigation into the link between knowledge and personal clarity. Rather than offering a rigid answer, the dialogue reveals how questioning values and motives strengthens awareness. The work suggests that the search for wisdom is ongoing and that clarity emerges not from certainty, but from the courage to question assumptions and understand the limits of one's thinking.
Euthyphro
Euthyphro opens with a conversation focused on understanding the nature of piety and moral responsibility. The work begins when a person awaiting a legal proceeding encounters another individual involved in a difficult family dispute. This meeting leads to a discussion about what it means to act with moral integrity and whether actions can be judged as good based on divine approval or human reasoning. The dialogue examines several attempts to define piety, beginning with the idea that piety is doing what is pleasing to the divine. The discussion then evolves into questioning whether something is good because the divine approves it, or whether the divine approves it because it is already good. Through careful questioning, the conversation reveals that moral ideas cannot be understood through blind acceptance of authority. Instead, true understanding requires thoughtful reflection and the willingness to confront uncertainty. The work encourages readers to examine their own beliefs, showing that wisdom is gained not through absolute answers, but through the courage to question deeply and search for clarity in matters of right and wrong.
Euthydemus
Euthydemus presents a discussion that questions the nature of wisdom, learning, and personal development. The work unfolds through a lively exchange in which two speakers use clever arguments designed to confuse rather than enlighten. A returning figure describes an encounter with these skillful debaters, who claim to possess the ability to teach virtue quickly and effortlessly. Their method relies on twisting language, creating contradictions, and leading their listener into traps where even simple ideas become uncertain. The dialogue reveals how easily reasoning can be manipulated when words are used without sincerity. Instead of offering meaningful guidance, the debaters focus on winning every argument, turning conversation into a contest rather than a search for truth. Through unexpected humor and frustration, the book illustrates how real understanding requires clarity, effort, and the willingness to examine one's own assumptions. The beginning sets the tone for a thoughtful exploration of what separates empty persuasion from true wisdom, showing that learning is not achieved through tricks but through honest reflection and steady inquiry.

Xenophon examines the art of the hunt not merely as sport but as a formative exercise fostering courage, endurance, and ethical refinement. The work begins by tracing the divine origins of hunting to Apollo and Artemis, honoring them as patrons of the chase. It then introduces the figure of Cheiron, the wise centaur who instructs heroes in this noble art, underscoring the spiritual and educational value of the practice. Through this foundation, hunting becomes a path toward cultivating discipline, respect for nature, and harmony between human skill and animal instinct. Xenophon proceeds to describe the necessary tools, the training of dogs, and the methods suited for various kinds of game.

Letters from the Madhouse
An uncompromising account of a Bosnian writer's life as an exile in America. Considered a literary icon of Bosnia, Dario Dzamonja wrote raw, unfiltered accounts of life in the streets of Sarajevo and the colorful, caustic characters who inhabited them--including himself.

Letters from the Madhouse is his uncompromising account as a refugee in America and his recollections of a lost hometown. Spoken with ashen humor, Dario details his down-and-out life in the Midwest as he pines for the past and dodges the future, taking on odd jobs and associating with sketchy characters who amble in and out of the bars he often finds himself in. Through these incendiary short stories, Dario reckons with the destruction of his city and his life before finally resolving to someday return home. Translated by his daughter Nevena Dzamonja, Letters from the Madhouse reels between deliverance and annihilation, rapturing the reader with vivid prose and brutal detail in a collection which marks Dario Dzamonja's English-language debut.
