Book Description
Mirza Abdolqader Azimabadi penname “Bee'del” (one who has lost or surrendered his heart) was born in Putna, India in 1644 CE and died in Delhi in 1721. He spoke Bengali, wrote poetry in Persian (Farsi), and was familiar with Arabic, Urdu, Bengali and Sanskrit. One of the most prolific and regarded poets of his day, his style is considered the glory of Persian poetry of Central Asian/Indian origin. Among many ethnic groups outside the present borders of Iran, whose culture/mysticism and literature is influenced by the Iranian culture and language, Bee'del is classified alongside Ha'fezan honor conferred on very few. Bee'del composed his first poems at age 10. As he became familiar with the teachings of the Sufis, he continued to frequent their gatherings throughout life. Their literature influenced both his work and his growing involvement in things of the spirit. Traveling widely in India, Bee'del became familiar with the ages-old Vedic teachings, which are strongly reflected in his work. As a mystic and dedicated practitioner of the Way, Bee'del refused to compose poems in praise of royalty or the rich and powerful, which was common practice at the time. Although Bee'del was and still is a favorite to many, the available material about and from him is rare, especially as his mystical understanding often required skillful editing to make it available to the average Farsi reader. Still, Bee'del's relevance to our times is obvious his message is informed by a universal regard for the inner life and potential of humans, regardless of geography, ethnicity or religion which is a basic tenet in all genuine spiritual teachings, including Sufism. As a Sufi poet, Bee'del urges us to attend to our most important task experiencing, as opposed to reading/hearing about, one’s inner Origin/Essence and thus realize the true purpose of our existence.

Book Description
Infused with rhythm and melody, Zakes Mda’s new novel invites you to travel from Lesotho’s Mountain Kingdom to the City of Gold through the history of famo. Famo music was born in the drinking dens of migrant mineworkers in Lesotho, where the men would sing to unwind after work, accompanied by the accordion, a drum and sometimes a bass. Meet the boy-child kheleke, a wandering musician, and his surprising sister Moliehi. Then sigh with pleasure at being reunited with Toloki, the professional mourner from Ways of Dying, and his beloved Noria. Passionate and ambitious, boy-child is a weaver of songs, and his own story is intertwined with the incredible yet true social history of the music: the Time of the Concertina and the Accordion, the wars of the famo gangs, and the battle for control of illegal mines. The end is always a journey – and what a journey this is!

Book Description
In Water Language Peter Gorham links together a diverse set of poems exploring history, mythology, diverse locales including Hawai'i and Antarctica, and the inner landscape of the self. These short works are framed and infused with the sounds and images of water--ocean, rain, river, ice, and stream--flowing through them or just beneath their surface. They take us through the pain of loss, the mystery of joy, and ultimately the hope of a higher love and power that governs our lives. Water language is the language of our own bodies and souls, which speaks within us before the words take shape in our mouths. The author, professor of physics by vocation, and a sailor and surfer by passion, forges together a strange alloy of language and imagery that draws us in, surprises, convicts, and rewards us with the sense that our lives are not forgotten by the God who is there.
