Poet James Schwartz combines a mixture of poetry and short stories to describe family troubles, lost love, religion, and even what it's like to take a horse and buggy to a gay nightclub. The Literary Party is an emotional, touching book with implications that extend to any religion or culture where intolerance is prevalent.
The Amish are a working set
Family farming, factories, logging
Canine mills for the Lancaster sect

Cell phones–now allowed!
And tricked out buggies for the young
Techno music pumpin’ loud.
One day forward, two steps back
Through the Shipshewana paparazzi set
Selling their wares to the touris...
