Pudding House, a UU publisher and the largest literary small press in
America, 
and the UU Poets Co-op (UUA Directory listed)  are thrilled to announce
the January release of 
a mighty UU-useful anthology  to serve you, congregations, and UU
programs--  
 
HUNGER ENOUGH: 
Living Spiritually 
in a Consumer Society  
 
Nita Penfold, editor
 
6x9 perfect bound, full color cover, 128 page book you'll want to use
and give. 
You might want to buy two. We'll give you a deal on that.
 
HUNGER ENOUGH is an important collection that portrays the seductive
nature of our consumer culture that turns us into a gluttenous society.
But for the most part HUNGER ENOUGH does not attempt to shame us into
change.  Though it includes poems that reflect us at work and play via
less than thoughtful actions, other poems illustrate choices that
benefit the interdependent web.  There is much in Hunger Enough that
allows us to admit our need for alternative behaviors.  
    
Edited by Nita Penfold, Director of RE at the Lexington Massachusetts
Parish, the book is dedicated to Rev. Jim Bosveld in honor of his
community-based lecture series Living Spiritually in a Consumer Society
that ran for 8 weeks in UU congregations in Wooster and in Columbus,
Ohio.
    
We believe every minister, church bookstore manager, RE director, and
your members will want to own and operate this wonderful new anthology.
HUNGER ENOUGH is a resource for worship material for ministers and other
presenters in the pulpit, for marvelous discussion starters for both
adult and teen RE, and it can be taken to heart at the individual level
to support whatever actions you're ready to take.  
 
If you order during this release celebration offer and act before
December 31, you'll pay $18 (U.S. funds drawn on a U.S. bank) 
FREE postage/handling inside the U.S.    
($8 postage outside the U.S.)
And you will receive a free gift of either-- 
 
The Unitarian Universalist Poets: A Contemporary American Survey, edited
by Jennifer Bosveld ($18.95 knock-dead gorgeous book) or 
 
The Pocket Poetry Parenting Guide on yes-based parenting ($12 value).
 
We take cash, check, VISA/MC w/exp date.
