Sheila Laroque reviews Music From Another World by Robin Talley
Reading this was the comforting visit from a great pal that I was so desperate for this week. This story takes place in 1977; across Orange County and San Francisco. I should disclose that I believe that any way that one consumes books counts as reading, even if more technically you are listening.

Sheila Laroque reviews Calling Down the Sky by Rosanna Deerchild
I’m not much of a poetry person. I never have been. I’m the type of librarian who only took the required English courses; and I definitely don’t have an English literature degree.

Calling Down the Skyis a work that I…
