Breathing in Portuguese, Living in English
ISBN: 9780982693315 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Cada lingua concebe outra eu, /every language conceives another I, / igualmente essencial, new, Heather Tosteson writes in Breathing in Portuguese, Living in English. Exploring through a new language and life in another hemisphere what it means to be in the third stage, terceira idade, of a well-lived life, the poet realizes that she has come here to live into the reality of my own mortality, a reality that holds powerful fulfillment as well as loss. In these poems she invites us to join her as she listens for unsung hymns ready to soar within single words that taste like mamao or sound like...

The Sanctity of the Moment
ISBN: 9780979655296 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This powerful collection of poems spans the major stages of a woman's life-adolescence, early marriage and divorce, single motherhood, family life and its dissolution, late love, encroaching mortality, and the mysterious, obsessive, and ultimately healing returns of early trauma-and does so with an equally tenacious sense of the sanctity of this moment, and this one alone, in all its redeeming particulars. "We want to know," writes the poet, "what is pushing us, what is drawing us, and what is letting us, time and time, and time again, go. . ." There can be no other poet like Heather...

Heather Tosteson and Charles D. Brockett, Editors We talk about the need to connect intimately, but do we recognize connection when its here or only in retrospect? Is a feeling of connection something we can will into being-or something that, like grace, surprises us when we least expect it? Does it bear any relation to what we imagined it would be? What, if anything, does it have to do with love? With times continuousness and mutability? With our own? In this anthology, thirty-two talented writers invite us to explore...

We learn what it means...

DOUBLE LIVES, REINVENTION, & THOSE WE LEAVE BEHIND A Wising Up Anthology We frown upon double lives, but laud reinvention as the perpetual rebirth of our best self.

The thirty talented authors gathered in this anthology explore these questions from many different perspectives through memoir, story, and poetry and raise some very specific and fascinating ones of their own: What does it mean to understand the numbers tattooed on your father's arm are not those...

Daring to Repair: What Is It, Who Does It & Why?
ISBN: 9780982726273 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. What is repair in relationships? It's not starting anew. It's not jumping ship. It's not settling, either. It takes as many forms as there are relationships. It's difficult. It matters. It takes both sides to do it-and we do it all the time, in large and small ways. So why don't we like to talk about it? Why do we tend to think of it as a failure rather than a source of resilience, like the constant re-equilibrations of balance that allow us to walk, dance, break bread and move mountains? In this intriguing anthology of poetry, memoir, and story, forty-four talented writers ages twenty to...

Siblings: Our First Macrocosm

SIBLINGS: Our First Macrocosm Our families, especially our siblings, provide our first macrocosm. How much of that experience do we carry out into the world as part of our deepest, inchoate expectations of the world or of ourselves? Is birth order destiny? How are we shaped by the constellation we're born into, whether dyad or nebula? What is the appropriate sentiment to have towards those with whom we may share only a preponderance of genes and, before we have any choices in the matter, propinquity? Towards those who knew us before we had a sense of self? Towards those who helped us define...
