Congrats to "A Yellowed Notebook," First Place Winner in 2025 International Firebird Book Awards in Poetry AND Memoir! Reviewers described this collection as "a tender journey of a daughter and father woven together," and- "This is a marvelous collection; sentimental but not maudlin..." and finally, "Brava Beth SKMorris for this sensational book! I read it in one sitting ."

Makes a great Holiday gift for everyone!

When my father died, I found a notebook written at the end of his 10 year battle with heart disease. "A Yellowed Notebook" is a collaborative/hybrid integrating his writing with my poems; a "rondo," in 3 movements or sections: Family, Work, Retirement/diminishment. One reader said the book reminded her of Natalie Cole's mixed-tape, "Unforgettable" alongside her father's songs- Poetry, History, Memoir for ages 16+.

Congrats to Beth SKMorris & "IN THE AFTERMATH- 9/11 Through a Volunteer's Eyes." Since publication on the 20th anniversary of 9/11, awarded- Pinnacle, Firebird Book, Book Excellence Award (One of two poetry books among over 300+ finalists), and now in the Poetry of 9/11 archive of the Library of Congress. A must read for all lovers of poetry and history.
