The poems also explore the darker aspects of humanity--personal, cultural, historical and environmental violence--all of which are handled with compassion and grace. Bass's poetic gift is her ability to commiserate with others afflicted by similar hungers and grief. Her poem \"Insomnia\" concludes: \"may something\/ comfort you--a mockingbird, a breeze, rain\/ on the roof, Chopin's Nocturnes, the thought\/ of your child's birth, a kiss, \/ or even me--in my chilly kitchen\/ with my coat on--thinking of you.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarketing Plans: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - National advertising\u003cbr\u003e - National media campaign\u003cbr\u003e - Advance reader copies\u003cbr\u003e - Course adoption mailing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor Tour: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Berkeley\u003cbr\u003e - Boston\u003cbr\u003e - Minneapolis\u003cbr\u003e - San Francisco\u003cbr\u003e - Santa Cruz\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEllen Bass\u003c\/b\u003e is co-author (with Laura Davis) of the best-selling \u003ci\u003eThe Courage to Heal: A Guide for Women Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse\u003c\/i\u003e (HarperCollins 1988, 1994), which has sold more than one million copies and has been translated into nine languages.
