  Ronald Franklin Saia was born a grandson to an Italian from Sutera, Sicily. Growing up in rural Kentucky gave Ronald a deep feeling in his soul for the outdoors. He hunted, trapped, rode his buckskin mare Old Beauty, slept under the stars, and cooked super over an open camp fire. He is a real American partriot. While Ronald worked his way through college, he lived at home with his precious mother, Mary, and father, Victor. What a blessing it was for God to have chosen them for his parents. 
  For a time, he worked in Venezuela where he met his wife, Barb. He has traveled in South and Central America, and Europe. Ronald's inspirational poetry is straight from his heart and represents a true appreciation for creation and God's works along with life's experiences and personal observations.

  rock flight

  Hasib Hourani

  rock flight is a book-length poem that follows a personal and historical narrative to compose an understated yet powerful allegory of Palestine's occupation. The poem uses refrains of suffocation, rubble, and migratory bird patterns to address the realities of forced displacement, economic restrictions and surveillance technology that Palestinians face both within and outside Palestine. It depicts a restlessness brought about by dispossession, and a determination to find significance in fleeting objects and fragments. It looks to the literary form as an interactive experience, and the book as an object in flux, inviting the reader to embark on an exploration of space, while limited by the box-like confines of the page. Formally claustrophobic, the poem morphs into irony, declaring everything a box while refusing to exist within one.
  'rock flight is relentlessly potent. Merging resistance and poetry, Hasib Hourani writes back—against the "suffocating state" and imperial forces. Be ready to be transformed by Hourani's diasporic anticolonial poetics.' — Don Mee Choi
  'Here is a poetry of passion; a poetry of necessity; a poetry of survival, and a poetry-triumphant.' — Maxine Beneba Clarke

  Balthazar dreams of the perfect woman, one he can summon or dismiss at will on his computer screen. But as time passes, he becomes ensnared in his own creation, consumed by an obsession with this non-existent figure. As Balthazar spirals downward, losing everything from his identity to the use of his body, reduced to just his mind and the fingers tapping at the keyboard, she, in contrast, rises. She transforms into a modern-day Scheherazade, learning to command her prince.
  Baltha B was unaware,
  
  No more sits he upon the chair.
  
  The relics of his body's ruin,
  
  Are the one last bastion
  
  Of his undoing.
  
  Death beckons when the hands they clap,
  
  To say, 'Enough! Your time is up'

  Nathan the Wise

  Nathan the Wise by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing is a profound philosophical drama that explores the ideals of religious tolerance, human compassion, and the shared values that unite humanity. Set in Jerusalem during the time of the Third Crusade, the play brings together characters from different faiths—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—to deliver a timeless message about understanding, wisdom, and peaceful coexistence. 🌍
  
  At the center of the story is Nathan, a wise and compassionate Jewish merchant known for his generosity and insight. When his adopted daughter Recha is rescued from a fire by a mysterious Christian knight, a series of unexpected encounters unfolds. As the characters' lives become intertwined, long-held prejudices are challenged and hidden truths about identity, faith, and family gradually come to light.
  
  One of the most memorable moments in the play is Nathan's famous "Parable of the Three Rings." Through this powerful story, Nathan explains that no single religion can claim absolute truth, and that genuine faith is proven through acts of kindness, humility, and moral integrity rather than dogmatic claims. This message forms the philosophical heart of the drama and reflects Lessing's Enlightenment ideals of reason, tolerance, and human dignity.
  
  Through thoughtful dialogue and richly developed characters, Lessing masterfully examines themes such as religious harmony, moral wisdom, forgiveness, and the importance of seeing beyond cultural and religious divisions. The play encourages readers to reflect on the values that unite people across differences and challenges societies to embrace tolerance and mutual respect.
  
  Widely regarded as one of the most important works of the European Enlightenment, Nathan the Wise remains a powerful call for peace and understanding in a diverse world. 📖 Its enduring message continues to inspire readers and audiences, reminding us that compassion, wisdom, and humanity are stronger than prejudice and division.

  'Cause how am I gonna have the summer to end all summers with no one to share it with?'
  Amani and Brianna are preparing for a blind date, but getting there becomes the real test. Between teefing little sisters, gentrified patties, flying bird poo, missing barbers, and a trim that could end a man, romance might not be the only thing on the line.
  A to B is a joyful coming-of-age romcom about the beauty and absurdity of trying to be seen and to connect in a world that won't stop interrupting. It's about showing up: for love, for family, for yourself, even when you're late, lost, or covered in mud.
  Tia-Renee Mullings's play was first performed at Soho Theatre, London, in 2026, produced by JFR Productions in association with Soho Theatre and HighTide Theatre.
