The Last Pilgrim: The Life of Mary Allerton Cushman
by Noelle Granger
This book captures and celebrates the grit and struggle of the Pilgrim women who stepped off the Mayflower in the winter of 1620 to an unknown world – one filled with hardship, danger and death. The Plymouth Colony would not have survived without them.
Mary Allerton Cushman was the last surviving passenger of the Mayflower, dying at age 88 in 1699.
Mary’s life is set against the real background of that time. The Last Pilgrim begins from her father’s point of view – she was, after all, only four when she descended into the cramped and dank living space below deck on the Mayflower – but gradually assumes Mary’s voice, as the colony achieves a foothold in the New England’s rocky soil.
What was a woman’s life like in the Plymouth Colony? The Last Pilgrim will tell you.

This novel is not only for young adult readers, it is for anyone who wants to experience the uncertainties, hardships, and courage that founded a nation.
When the Ball is Laid to Rest
by Adonal Foyle
Foyle’s poems carry on in the tradition of Derek Walcott, there can be no doubt. But make no mistake, these are original and thoughtful insights by a talented and sensitive poet, writing from his own cultural perspective. I was particularly struck by how Foyle’s poems engaged all my senses. In the Beyond the Caribbean section that introduces the collection, Adonal Foyle goes on to give us insights into his years as an athlete, his travels, and his views on politics – all in verse. I look forward to more poetry from Adonal Foyle, Golden State Warriors #31, retired.

Ink Blot in a Poet’s Bloodstream
by Heather Angelika Dooley
This is a logbook of limbo. Poet, Heather Angelika Dooley, sews a patchwork of poetry spanning three decades in this assemblage. Nothing is in order; it is a hopscotch through her life of heartbreak and happiness, skipping a lot of stones thrown along the way. Take the journey of uncovering her discoveries with her—on the crests and low-water marks—as she learns to fly as a free bird and decides to swim, deep into her truth, as a mermaid. There is no rhyme or reason to the layout of this book, but you will find so much reason, even in rhyming couplets. Sometimes she rhymed without the couplet because she was alone on the back porch (after her daughter went to bed), but she always wrote in a pulse that will be an ink blot in your bloodstream, because her words fall and rise to the beat of a universal heart. Open yours as you read this book, and let it pump you with her promise of poesy that never stops questioning, contemplating, and believing in the undying power of memory ink blots on the brain.
