SUMMARY:Joan Hall  Rhyme Time Poetry and Collage
DESCRIPTION:In her third book of poetry\, Rhyme Time\, Joan Hall pairs an anthology of her poems with original collages. Ranging from lighthearted and funny to heartfelt and introspective\, her words are relatable yet deeply personal. Hall digs deep\, dealing with topics including complicated relationships with family\, the loss of loved ones\, and a changing world. Inspired by the mundane and the extraordinary\, readers are also sure to enjoy her tales of eating bugs and brake failure on the Long Island Expressway alongside her own artwork. \nHaving developed a passion for art and poetry at a young age\, Hall won the Miriam Chaikin Writing Award in 2018 for her poetry. She has previously published two other poetry books\, Behind My Mind and Journey to Somewhere\, and her collages and assemblages have been enjoyed in galleries across the world. \nClick here to buy on Amazon

SUMMARY:Valerie Ghent featured in Hit Girls - book about women in punk in the 80's
DESCRIPTION:HIT GIRLS\nWomen in Punk in the USA in 1975 – 1983\nBy Jen B Larsen \nValerie Ghent:\n“Wow! I just discovered that I’m in a new book about women in punk and new wave from 1978-1983 called “Hit Girls.” The band I was in as a teenager\, Dizzy and the Romilars\, is featured with lots of other female-fronted bands of the era\, including the Bush Tetras\, ESG\, The Plasmatics and other ground-breaking bands that I remember seeing and/or sharing bills with all over NYC. \nOh the clubs we played! Hurrah\, Bonds\, Trax\, Tier 3\, The Ritz\, Peppermint Lounge\, CBGB’s\, My Father’s Place\, The 9:30 Club (in DC) and many others. My first show with Dizzy was at Botany\, in the flower district\, the cool club where I first heard Bad Brains and 24-7 Spyz and so many other awesome bands. \nDizzy and the Romilars was founded by Ramona Jan (who also founded The Comateens)\, and I joined Dizzy in 1980 while still in high school. I was the baby in the band\, alongside Ramona\, Angelo “Zip” Zarrelli on bass and Joe Klemmer on drums. We rehearsed three times a week in the Music Building on 8th Avenue\, where dozens of bands rehearsed\, including Madonna\, who was just breaking through. \nThe author\, Jen Larson\, gathered information on almost 100 bands of the era. She interviewed Ramona and quotes me as well\, it’s a very cool writeup!  There’s a nice quote on page 182 where Larson writes\, “In Dizzy and the Romilars Jan collaborated with Val\, a 15 year old who was a strong musician and demonstrated extreme confidence in the studio.”  I never really thought of myself the way Larson describes\, but I remember the moment I walked into Media Sound I knew it was where I wanted to be\, in the studio making records!” \n Hit Girls is available at Amazon and has great reviews! \nValerie Ghent website
