If you’re looking for something new for the nightstand, books from area authors are newly available. They include an Irish travel guide in poetry and photos, stories from a local comedian, a futuristic world-war saga and a novel set in Tracy City, Tennessee. Other authors offer books of Tennessee interest: one an adventure for children, the other an anthology of war.
TRAVELING IRELAND
“Glimpses of Éire by Pen and Lens” is a travel book on Ireland containing poems by Finn Bille and photographs by Richard Dubé.
Bille says the book is so-named because he and Dubé, along with Barbara Ray and Jeanne Bille, visited Ireland on a two-week guided bus exploration in 2022.
“My poems in the book are also brief impressions gained as a tourist and recorded as intuitive reactions to Irish places,” he says.
