  For Dr. Stephanie Harris Mercado, can’t and quit are words with very little meaning. After overcoming a neglected and abusive childhood, she became the first college graduate in her family and a respected physician assistant. This was accomplished as a single parent raising a daughter whom she inspired to pursue her goals and dreams in the US Army and become an honorable police officer. Stephanie is not stopping and has become a published scholar and poet. She published a scholarly article in the Journal of the American Academy of PAs, and multiple poems with Wingless Dreamer and Poet’s Choice. She writes poetry based on life’s experiences, everyday life stories and reactions of an introverted poet. There really is not a happy ending to the poetry as her reactions to things are comedically irrational. When seeking success, some wonder why? Stephanie wonders what’s next!

  Insomnia - Interesting poem from...

  James Thomson B V

  James Thomson B V was born in Port Glasgow, Scotland on the 23rd November 1834.   
  At the age of 8 his sister died and his father suffered a stroke.  Thomson was now sent south to be raised in a London orphanage, the Royal Caledonian Asylum on Chalk near Holloway.  Shortly thereafter he was given the news that his mother had also now died. It was a bleak beginning to the next chapters of his life and would undoubtedly go a long way towards shaping both his character and his future. 
  Thomson trained as an army schoolmaster at the Royal Military Asylum in Chelsea and served in Ireland.  After a decade of Army life he left the military and moved to London to find work as a clerk. 
  What Thomson also possessed was a powerful and unique writing gift.  Unfortunately, his own demons curtailed him from leaving a larger literary legacy.  But what he did leave are works that can be difficult but very rewarding, allowing us to observe, to understand and make sense of themes and issues that we might at first shy away from.  He also used the suffix B V (Bysshe – taken from Percy Bysshe Shelley and Novalis - the pseudonym of Georg Philipp Friedrich Freiherr von Hardenberg) this was to avoid confusion with the earlier Scottish poet of the same name.  For Thomson life always had a complication. 
  Stories, essays and poems were submitted to various publications during his life and undoubtedly the creative high point of his life is ‘The City of Dreadful Night’.  Within its bleak verse are the struggles of Thomson’s own chaotic tortures with depression, insomnia and alcoholism in the uncaring world that surrounded him.  It was published to favourable reviews from the critics but by now Thomson’s health was rapidly declining. 
  James Thomson B V died, in London, at the age of 47, on 3rd June 1882, from a broken blood vessel in his bowel.

  Much Ado About Nothing

  William Shakespeare

  Shakespeare wrote Much Ado About Nothing towards the middle of his career, sometime between 1598 and 1599. It was first published in quarto in 1600 and later collected into Mr. William Shakespeare's Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies in 1623. The earliest recorded performance of Much Ado About Nothing was performed for the newly-married Princess Elizabeth and Frederick the Fifth, Elector Palatine in 1613.
  Shakespeare's sources of inspiration for this play can be found in Italian culture and popular texts published in the sixteenth century. Gossip involving lovers deceived into believing each other false was often spread throughout Northern Italy. Works like Ludovico Ariosto's Orlando Furioso and Edmund Spencer's Fearie Queene also feature tricked lovers like Claudio and Hero. Besides these similarities, the idea of tricking a couple like Benedick and Beatrice into falling in love was an original and unusual idea at the time.
  The play focuses on two couples: upon the noblemen's return to Messina, Claudio and Hero quickly fall in love and wish to marry in a week; on the contrary, Benedick and Beatrice resume their verbal war, exchanging insults with each other. To pass the time prior to the marriage a plot to trick Benedick and Beatrice into falling in love has been set in motion. Unbeknownst to both our couples, a fouler plot to crush the love and happiness between Hero and Claudio has also begun to unfold.
