It takes a guilty bastard to make a justified bitch. When a severed finger shows up on her doorstep in a seedy section of Las Vegas, Helen Taylor does not freak out. She’s already crazy, as evidenced by her junk-stuffed house and its ever-growing population of cats. There’s also Bobby, her long-dead husband. Helen talks to him regularly, and Bobby talks back. The finger and the brutal murder it reveals are more than a hoarding cat lady with a phantom husband can ignore. Helen’s a suspect, and she ends up in jail. Summoned by the detective on the case, Helen’s sister Pat arrives from Phoenix with two teen-age boys in tow. While Helen is AWOL from a mental facility, another gruesome murder is discovered. Pat, the boys, and the detective struggle to separate fact from insanity, but it takes power beyond the ordinary to bring the truth to light.

The Justified Vision is a compilation of all my works from my teenage years to adulthood. I write about what I have experienced, what I've seen, my beliefs in life, my trials, my tribulations, and a message in some cases, to those who will listen. Most of my poems are true stories, true events, true feelings. I have seen some dark days. I have seen the very gates to hell. I have been through events that could break a person down mentally. But as with any experience that you survive, strength is always the end result. I have always believed in justified living. Living life knowing that the sands of time will eventually diminish. Life is poetry. Every line, every word has a meaning that adds to the beauty of the work. Live it justified. Live your life with a purpose and reason. Everything you do in life will affect you and others around you whether you believe it or not. I hope in some way this book touches your life and helps you understand what I mean by "Live life Justified". I hope that it gives you inspiration and clarity to the turbulence within your experience by seeing what I have gone through. Most of all I hope you enjoy the vision and the spirit behind each one of my poems.

Three Comedies features the work of three dramatic geniuses of the glorious, no-holds-barred tradition of ancient Athenian comedy. Here Aristophanes, the eight-hundred-pound gorilla of Old and Middle Comedy meets Menander, elephant in the room of New Comedy, in a match made possible by Douglass Parker--if not Athenian exactly, or even ancient, possibly the maddest chameleon ever to absorb the true colors of an ancient choral song, transpose a lost pun, or channel a venerable, giant, dung-eating cockroach for the benefit of those who couldn’t be there the first time. Timothy J. Moore offers concise and informative introductions and notes to Parker’s brilliant translation of Aristophanes' fantastical Peace and Money, the God and Menander’s lively, domestic Samia--and includes, as a bonus, Parker's James Constantine Lecture at the University of Virginia, "A Desolation Called Peace: Trials of an Aristophanic Translator."
