We are the only beings on earth who intrinsically wonder about our own end. But is there a way to elicit more elegant, gentle questions? Maybe something finer can be imparted, a way to bring the inevitable grief this life holds, into the love it really is. In this lyrical essay, poetry and the beauty of dreams mingle with remembrance. Journey from a child's view of life's end to a perspective in time much closer to that end, and something as f...

Written in pandemic, Rick Benjamin's The Mob Within the Heart, is a poetic witnessing: of illness and loss, of harm to the more-than-human sentient world, of cultural, familial & political conflict, and of deep, enduring, lasting love-of people, & of the planet & everything on it. In this book, it is all happening at the same time: Covid and Black Lives Matter, praise of all sentient life, while also testifying to the damage already done, a fr...

Timeless wisdom, poetic and true, to return to again and again as you journey on the path. Hints for the Heart is a beautiful invitation to enter the flow of our lives and discover the boundless mystery of who we really are." -Tara brach, author of Radical Acceptance "Living ordinary life with extraordinary love is the key to the contemplative journey.

Many poets write about the natural world - few poets write while acting directly to defend the natural world like environmental activist and attorney Will Falk does in When I Set the Sweetgrass Down. The natural world speaks, Falk insists, in these biophilic poems written from the frontlines of land defense campaigns. These poems are a record of what Falk heard from the natural world in places like Thacker Pass, Nevada where Falk set up a prot...

A stunning collection that embraces both the sensuality and the profound meaning of small moments." -Kirkus Reviews ¿¿"Along the Way seems to follow one softly and simply-stated revelation after another, as if Rivers is tracking a scent rather than blazing a trail. Either way he is an excellent guide, and is comfortable both in and out of form. It's been a long time since I've been so honestly and humbly instructed in a book of poetry." - R...

Beloved Trappist monk Thomas Keating is best known as one of the primary founders of the Centering Prayer movement, which made the contemplative dimension of Christianity accessible through a simple method of silent, still meditation. He is also known as the convener of the Snowmass Interreligious Conference, which helped spawn the global Inter-spiritual movement. Keating's open invitation to people of all walks to embark on a spiritual journe...

Traveling from the Peruvian Amazon to Beijing, from the Siberian tundra to Oaxacan villages, Ian Ramsey's Hackable Animal explores the metaphysical dimensions of being human amongst the disruptions of the 21st century. This profound collection reads like a scouting report from across the planet, where polar bears, reggaeton, and woolly mammoths collide with cloud computing and wildfires, where assumptions and alignments are turned upside down ...

River, Amen reclaims religious rituals and resurrects them in the wilderness. What emerges is a deliberate dialogue with rivers, a celebrative creed for rewilding post-industrial landscapes. This immersive, restorative collection offers a new language for understanding our place in relation to the living world and a prophetic warning that we separate the physical and spiritual at our own peril.

What does it take to "live simply"? Sounds easy enough, but when we dig deeper into what drives the actions of human beings, it gets a little more complicated. This anthology explores what it can look like to seek out slow living and embrace a life steeped in intentionality. Whether it's navigating grief to decluttering a home or habits to processing trauma, the writers in these pages have a wide variety of lived experiences and approach simpl...

What does it take to "live simply"? Sounds easy enough, but when we dig deeper into what drives the actions of human beings, it gets a little more complicated. What if we discovered that changing our ways could lead to more beauty and more joy than we thought possible? What if living life (simply) really is a dizzyingly splendid idea? Just think of what would happen if more of us grew carrots and felt the wind on our faces and let birdsong be...

It's hard to imagine a poet who could take more joy in nature, both earthly and human.

Still, an elegiac tone haunts the book, David loves the planet as much as he fears for its demise. But this "world of open wounds" is blessed with fellow sojourners: the poet's wife and ch...

While visiting their Secret Place-a treehouse and its owl-a shuddering jolt changes everything for Merry and Max, hurtling them into a journey into the future-a breathtaking adventure, a battle between short-sighted greed and long-term survival in which their fate and the fate of the earth are at stake.

Refraction recounts the experience of working in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, a remote Arctic outpost and home to the largest oilfield in North America. It's the story of one person's journey, told in a series of reflections on a time spent living in a frozen wasteland. Justifying the endeavor as a modern-day gold rush or a romantic odyssey could otherwise be viewed as another distorted image hovering above the horizon-another refraction.

Walk Deep's devoted, interconnected journey toward authenticity is alive with deep feeling.

Sojourners explores and contrasts the promise and the reality of life in the country and in the city, each with its set of wonders and disappointments, beauty and hardship. The wilderness and natural world inspire, frighten, and challenge us. The city's opportunities, structures, and support of society excite and embolden, but ultimately may fail us. We must always find a new beginning. The collection abounds with multisensory poetry that evok...

What is the embodied shape of memory? How is it cared for and set down into the hearts of future generations? Where lives the land of forgetting? Throughout these poems, April Tierney weaves together personal, collective, ancestral, and land-based memory into a single, glistening cloth. She courts the cultural necessity of tending to what might otherwise be lost, by writing her way into the past as a prayer for what is yet to come.
