A passionate intensity moves through the subjective, intimate voice of the poems of Natalka Bilotserkivets. Through translation, Subterranean Fire continues their mysterious pilgrimage to their second lives. From one of the true inheritors – touchstones like Anna Akhmatova, Gabriela Mistral, and Louise Bogan – the poems of Bilotserkivets inhabit us as they include us in their transcendent borderland. – American poet James Brasfield With great depths of feeling, Natalka Bilotserkivets’s poetry guides us into that uncharted territory where word meets heart.

3 GOLD MEDAL BOOK AWARDS from Nonfiction Authors Association: Received in Self-Help, Personal Triumph, and Religion Categories ERIC HOFFER BOOK AWARD WINNER, 1ST RUNNER-UP, 2017: Nonfiction E-Book Category Have you ever awakened from a restless night of sleep and just couldn’t do it—you couldn’t wear that mask another day, acting as though everything were “okay.” Could anyone possibly understand what you were going through? Or are you on the other side of that coin? Times are tough, though you know people have survived worse. But how do others overcome staggering mountains and valleys? What we wouldn’t give to absorb their wisdom. Author Alicia M. Smith sought answers to the questions shared above, questions occupying real estate within the shadows of our minds. Her quest was to speak with said people. Those who understood the struggle and the loneliness—but who could also share their stepping stones toward higher ground. The moments shared by these individuals are humbling, to say the least: ~A life-altering car accident ~A woman’s quest to escape addiction and life under a bridge ~A nurtured passion, years of hard work and memories, stolen by Hurricane Katrina ~A late-night phone call, notifying a woman that the police may have found her husband’s body ~A vision bestowed on a man, moving him and others to walk away from safety and toward the unknown How do these anecdotes apply to you? Are there common denominators? Or are we all separated by our own circumstances and experiences? The lessons gleaned from these testimonies are invaluable—sparks of hope demanding to extinguish the shadows. “The essays themselves are tightly paced and engaging....Inspirational without being patronizing; a well-organized collection.” —Kirkus Reviews San Francisco Book Review: sanfranciscobookreview.com/product/common-stones/ Manhattan Book Review: manhattanbookreview.com/product/common-stones/

Pages : 108
Book Description
The four movements of Parable Hunter explore the themes of need, instinct, fulfillment and transcendence--the cardinal points of the self. What the points share is parable-making--the ground of all reflection. The identification of new vantage points on the world--in works of art, looking out of plane windows, or enveloped in nature and weather--itself becomes a parable for reflecting on the imagination, that stage where phenomenology and animism coalesce.

Pages : 260
Book Description
He played deception like music, the way Miles played his horn. Every note moved her until she almost had no will of her own. Pregnant and alone, 26 year old Dahlia Reynolds recounts the events that led to her imprisonment in Thailand, an unlikely place for a Sista from Waycross, Georgia. Nervously awaiting the ultimate punishment, Dahlia realizes how far she is from Washington, DC, her best friends, Stacy and El, her job as a Pentagon analyst and from Antoine Blackwell, her occasional lover. This could be the end of a journey full of treachery and deceit launched by a mystery from her family's past and a quilt she inherited from a slave ancestor, all started with a chance encounter with a much older man. Mackenzie Powell stole Dahlia's heart and holds the key to a treasure that made her an unknowing pawn in a high stakes game of murder and intrigue that began deep inside a South African mine before she was born. Dahlia was swept away by the Bentley driving Mackenzie's classy good looks and debonair charm, but "Mac" has a secret and only The Stone has the power to unlock it and make sense of what appears to be a series of unrelated events. She wonders: Is Mac hero or villain?
