I have three books by J.J.Metcalfe that I founded at a second hand store, Poem Portraits,Poem Portraits of Inspiration, and Love Portraits I loved them all and I can not get enough of his work now I'm looking for his other six books Garden in my Heart, More Poem Portraits, Daily Poem Portraits, Poem Portraits of the Saints, Poems for Children, and My Rosary of Rhymes does any one know where I my find any of the books I named?

I have loved these poems since the 50s and cut one out of the newspaper in 1956 and still have it. Since then I have started a collection of his books. I now have 5 of them and still looking for "Garden in My Heart". I have a website of James J. Metcalfe Poems. Let me know if you know where I can find "Garden in My Heart".

I've loved his poems since reading them as a daily feature in the Charleston News & Courier in the 1950's. I have searched for this author's works in every library I've visited. No one has ever heard of him. Where can I find the source of "Garden in My Heart" and "Poem Portraits" -- surely it isn't hopeless! His poetry has a quiet and gentle charm that reaches right into one's heart and stays there for years.

I grew up with this book in our family library. There was always a poem for me to copy for every occasion that I would write to someone, need a speech for school, or to enclose in a birthday or special occasion card. The style of each poem was universal. I NEED THIS BOOK! And now I can't find it anywhere. I'd be happy to get a second hand copy if nothing else. Still searching in Oregon but worth the effort!

I just read James J. Melcalfe's book titled, "More Poem Portraits." I loved it! I would really like to purchase a copy of it for myself. In fact, I would purchase copies to be used as gifts for friends. (The book I read is very old and belongs to a friend.)

I have the book of oems Garden in My Heart by the author J. Metcalfe from the 1940's. I would love to get "Poem Portraits" also but cannot find it even though I have been searching for years. I love this author's poetry. Many years ago, a poem a day was published in the Philadephia, Pa. News-papers.
