A spirited collection of poetry, photography, and artwork. The Demise of Rooster Rockstar chronicles the author's deeply-felt reflections on the themes of life, love, togetherness, and loss. Sometimes enigmatic, often humorous, the eclectic offerings in this little book are filled with generosity, warmth, humanity... and hard-won resilience. Encounters with beauty and tragedy, visits to foreign homelands, musings on the virtues of popcorn, even a eulogy to a noble cockerel are stitched together into a truly unique quiltwork of appreciation: sometimes it is the hidden joy within, and not the rooster, that causes the sun to rise.
Featuring poems, photographs and artwork by Betty LaVelle, poems by James LaVelle, and photographs by Katarina Orel.

The Reprise of Rooster Rockstar
Art with heart. The plucky Rooster Rockstar returns from his untimely passing in a phoenix-like reprise of his role in The Demise of Rooster Rockstar. The resurrected Rockstar "has been renewed, afforded new feathers--assorted colors of honey gold and copper greens, deep anthracene blues, alizarines..." The rooster's unapologetic, iridescent plumage is a reflection of Betty LaVelle's own journey, reflecting the vivid, playful, heartfelt, and sometimes startling insights in the world around her.
This colorful collection features poems, prose, photographs and artwork by Betty LaVelle, poems by James LaVelle, and photographs by Katarina Orel.
