A luminous meditation on the meaning of richness and harvest and worth, Autumn is the first installment of Ali Smith's Seasonal quartet, and...

My Dream of Florence Ballard: A Detroit Rose was developed from my mom telling me all these wonderful stories of Motown music in the 1960s. She remembered Florence Ballard when she lived in Detroit. I would ask my mom about it when I was a child growing up. I would say, “Mom, please tell me the stories of Florence Ballard,” and my mom would say, “Oh, you want to hear another Flo story.” Flo was Florence Ballard’s nickname. It is short for Florence. My mom would light up her cigarette and tell me such beautiful stories of Florence Ballard. I would be mesmerized...

It is strange, but true, that this book is filled with sane and sober truths that are presented in a most compassionate manner-though at times it may tug at the hemline of our old and ragged ideological garments...

In the wake of the cataclysmic loss of the heaven of the First Time, the kingdoms of this world descended into an unrelenting dark age. Driven to return to the paradise that once was, human civilizations rose and fell, their sovereignty always short lived, and forever challenged by conflicting visions of how to restore heaven on earth.
In the time of the great transgression, a path for man to return to the way of life was established in the Na Akhu-El sages, the shining ones of the First Time. In these the seed of light of the Golden Age was sown, to teach the way of the Four Forces,...
