Reflections of Ink - Riflessi d'inchiostro
by Rocco Giancarlo Racco
Dear reader, Reflections of Ink unfolds as a work steeped in quiet bitterness, yet brushed by delicate traces of sweetness. It evokes sorrow, though never without the faint shimmer of hope, and reveals a fragile vulnerability beneath its harsh, disciplined language. The first section contemplates the many facets of human experience, touching upon love, beauty, hope, triumph and defeat, dream and imagination. The second part ventures into the depths of existential complexity, exploring the poet’s inner life—his struggle with language and the creative act itself and it turns toward the darker contours of being, confronting themes of survival, victimization, suicide, and death. Guiding the reader through an emotional and meditative journey, the work unveils profound truths with both restraint and intensity. Vivid imagery and visionary language draw us into intimate and unsettling inner landscapes. Its apocalyptic tones and intense invocations generate a charged tension where unease, solitude, and the yearning for freedom intertwine. Inspired by the poem Creativity, which forms its thematic and stylistic nucleus, Reflections of Ink is born of an intense, troubled interior experience. Within the seclusion of writing, the poet wrestles with the ceaseless current of thought. In the silence of creative solitude, disorder becomes art: moments of lucidity alternate with confusion as emotions and reflections take shape in words, and words become fragments of a restless search for meaning. Life itself may be seen as an inner pilgrimage, and poetry as its privileged vessel of revelation. The reader is invited to journey alongside the author through nineteen compositions, each charged with raw emotion: sighs and tremors, layers of shadow, muffled cries, tears, and nostalgia. Through this encounter, reading becomes a life-changing experience—an exploration of the depths of existence, and a space of reflection, catharsis, and possible deliverance for those willing to listen.

Erasing The Five O'Clock Shadow
by Monica Miatello
A middle-class Roman Catholic Italian, hockey player, avid drummer, and popular kid, Monica Miatello (formerly Chris) knew she was different from the age of five. But it was the late 1960s—a time when information about gender dysphoria was practically non-existent. As a result, although she had many friends, her childhood and teenage years felt lonely and isolating. That is, until she met Sandy. Falling in love and getting married weren’t things Miatello ever thought would happen to someone like her. Both pharmacists, the couple moved to a small Ontario town of 900 people, purchased a pharmacy, and had two daughters. With Sandy’s support, Miatello navigated the hills and valleys of her secret cross-dressing life, which ultimately led to her transition in the late 1990s. Her courageous journey from life as a man to embracing life as a woman couldn’t have happened without transparency, honesty, and a patient willingness to educate those around her. It also required the support of people who accepted her authentic self, an openness to discovery, and the ability to trust others. And it would not have happened without humour, positivity, and the ability to laugh at—and love—herself. Heartwarming, emotional, and empowering, Erasing The Five O’Clock Shadow is a remarkable and inspiring personal story about transitioning and being transgender in an ever-changing world.

Ditching, Ditching, Ditching
Canada’s Significant Contributions to Maritime Helicopter Safety and Survival by Christopher Brooks

Dr. Christopher Brooks, physician, scientist, inventor and historian, enjoyed an extensive and highly satisfying medical career in the navy, industry and private practice. From one extreme to another—service in a Polaris nuclear submarine to dangling from the hoist of the revered old Sea King to service at the Transportation Appeal Tribunal of Canada—after 57 years, he has tied up alongside and finished with main engines and steering.
