By the time I had returned to the United States from boarding school in Switzerland, I had read many literary classics from my father’s linen and leather bound collections; as a result, I knew I had to become a participant in the society of arts and letters.
Good fortune shone upon me, as I was able to study poetry with Lawrence Ferlinghetti at Washington College on the Chester River and witness excellence; there too, I studied fiction with Toni Morrison, and playwriting with Edward Albee, and witnessed the same.
Later, after serving as an Associate Professor at The Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University, teaching the course The Role of Design in Journalism, a curriculum I designed for the school, I worked with George Plimpton and Frank McCourt and was utterly inspired.
In 2014, after influencing over thirty newspapers, magazines and books, and serving as the Editor in Chief to six titles, I founded a literary imprint, Thane & Prose, and searched for authors who did what these men and women did—who pursued the art of storytelling.
Today, as an educator, a Doctoral candidate in English Education (also at Columbia) and a book publisher, my aim has a singular focus: literary excellence for scholars and readers alike.
Yes Mr. Whitman, “The powerful play goes on,” and this is the verse I choose to contribute.—Neal Thane Boulton
“Our habits for consuming news and information have shifted dramatically. Today, we are a mobile society. Where once there was the broadside, now there is the mobile device as the constant companion for pushing not the day’s news, but rather the events of the second. However, in many newsrooms, the way in which stories flow on their way to publication is still as if they were going to appear in a print edition. A dance with Miss Nostalgia, and certain death for the Editor and Publisher of a newspaper. For publications that share the news to survive, transformation must occur, and The Story Volume I, II & III will illuminate how you can evolve—and why you must.”—Dr. Mario Garcia
With a foreword by Regis Philbin, In Real Time is a compendium of Kreskin’s most prescient predictions about the disturbing state of our culture, shocking trends in society, the dangers of technology—and the tenuous future of our world.
In Iowa, Hunt brings his literary
camera closer to the fire within the belly of a boy poised to champion the writer's dream of life in Manhattan. Economic in style, lyrical and determined in voice, Iowa, from its first foreshadowing verse, will prove Ayn Rand right: “The world you desire can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it's yours.”
Teeming with reminisces of the ugly and beautiful, of youthful misunderstandings and secret longings, in Let Us Imagine Lost Love Robert Day offers us a man’s life as glossy, possible, and vast as a blank book.
The Art of the Dog is a book about coach and athlete, rescue and redemption—and the irrepressible will within each dog to triumph over comical misadventure, and at times, brutal circumstances.
In AI: The Next Revolution in Content Creation I will illuminate what you can expect, while enabling you to become a part of the revolution, rather than a baffled bystander watching from afar.”—Dr. Mario Garcia
Mirrorball: Reflections of Dance & Fashion is a book with great depth about the intersection of dance and fashion both from an historical perspective, as well as through a contemporary lens. J. Joseph Pastrana writes in lyrical prose with wit and vigor—something that allows us to go wherever he wants to take us on a journey from stage to costume.
Arthur by Brett F. Braley-Palko. Arthur Croots employs a down-on-his-luck friend, Horace, and a has-been theatre director, Dreisbach, on a comedic caper to save his dogs from eviction—and perhaps steal some cash from the unsuspecting aristocracy of mid-century London in the process.
David Rocklin’s The Electric Love Song of Fleischl Berger is historical fiction of the most ambitious and entertaining variety. It begins in Stralsund, Germany just before the turn of the twentieth century, a time when the line between alchemy and modern science is at its most obscure. It unfolds in Berlin as the world wakes to the horrors of the Nazi regime. These pages span the extraordinary life of Fleischl Berger: son, lover, inventor, silent film star, pioneer of the mind.
