Old MacKenzie and his Grandson Brenda Ross Old MacKenzie is a grouchy old widower who has two main problems in his life. One problem is the bossy woman who lives next door who wants to make him her "project." His other concern is for his grandson Jake, who's reached that age where he simply needs someone to talk to.
 T. L. Stone How do you tell the story of a relationship that lasted almost thirty years?
 January Poetry Feature
Kudzu Monthly introduces
the work of two poets new to our magazine this month. Mr. Ennis kindly let our editors
select fourteen of his poems for this issue, and we know you'll
like his work as well as we do!
With paintings by Piet Mondrian
Angela Albee sent
us four crisp new poems in free verse. We decided to pair her
work with examples of the abstract "cubism" of painter
Piet Mondrian. Did it work? Leave a comment and let us know!

Victims of severe, chronic pain often find
standard medical treatments ineffective. For many, a journey
into the world of alternative medicine is their only hope.
As Lisa Binkley found out when researching this article, it
is a journey fraught with disappointments and dangers, but
there is hope for some in non-traditional, older forms of
treatment.

This gentle-looking
woman shocked the nation in 1962 when her book "Silent Spring"
was published. Even before the first printing was complete,
huge names in the chemical industry mobilized against her.
She was the subject of a smear campaign in the American
press, and she was even accused of being backed by the
Soviets. Who was this soft-spoken lady? Read the article
and find out!
It's been a year
since the remains of Madalyn Murray O'Hair, the self-proclaimed
"most hated woman in America," were found in a grave on a ranch
in Texas. The story of her death is a strange tale and a
crime that the police might have solved more quickly if it's
victim were not America's most famous atheist. |
