Book Description
"At the age of thirty-three, Otagaki Nobu (1791-1875) renounced a world that had visited great tragedy upon her - the deaths of two husbands and three infant children - and was ordained a Buddhist nun, taking the name Rengetsu, which means "Lotus Moon." In 1832 she began to make pottery, which she inscribed with her own waka (31-syllable classic poetry) and sold to support herself. These unique combinations of hauntingly beautiful poetry, calligraphy, and pottery were as highly prized in her lifetime as they are now."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Description
The poems in Rabbit Sun, Lotus Moon present those uncommon moments when we recognize our world not only as a landscape or backdrop for our individual and collective experiences, but also as soulful nourishment (if we pay attention). The poet shares with the reader a journey of awakening "to what is important in this one precarious life between earth and sky." Each poem arrives unexpectedly and deliciously like a handwritten letter or postcard from a relative, close friend, or even from your former (or perhaps future) self. This volume extends and complements the author's first collection, When East Was North (2012 Mercury HeartLink). Andrea (Andi) Penner lives, works, and writes in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Book Description
Lotus Moon is a collection of poetry told through the first-person perspective divided into four parts: new moon, waxing moon, full moon, and waning moon. This collection explores both internal and external conflict including, but not limited to: self-doubt, heartbreak, toxicity, societal expectations, and how moving through those difficult aspects can shape us. This collection also explores the more desired aspects of the human experience, offering a ray of hope to those that struggle to find the skyline through the storm. This is a story of overcoming the self, finding balance, falling in love, and most importantly discovering an inner wholeness.

Book Description
Long before a rocket hit the Man in the Moon in the eye in Georges Méliès’s early film Le Voyage dans la Lune, the earth’s lone satellite had entranced humans. We have worshipped it as a deity, believed it to cause madness, used it as a means of organizing time, and we now know that it manipulates the tides—our understanding of the moon continues to evolve. Following the moon from its origins to its rich cultural resonance in literature, art, religion, and politics, Moon provides a comprehensive account of the significance of our lunar companion. Edgar Williams explores the interdependence of the Earth and the moon, not only the possibility that life on Earth would not be viable without the moon, but also the way it has embedded itself in culture. In addition to delving into roles the moon has played in literature from science fiction and comics to poetry, he examines how Elizabeth I was worshipped as the moon goddess Diana, the moon’s place in folklore and astrology, and humanity’s long-standing dream of inhabiting its surface. Filled with entertaining anecdotes, this book is the kind of succinct, witty, and informative look at everything lunar that only comes around once in a blue moon.

Book Description
Up with the rooster, to bed with the sun, and if the farmers a woman, its a good bet theres always more work waiting. Holding household and family together, women farmers daily, quietly perform heroic labors just to eke a livelihood out of the land. Women have always farmed, when death or war left them to fend for themselves, but today they might choose to farm, and, in a time when farming is a shrinking occupation, their choices have expanded. Some women are only at home on the range; others, more hearth-bound, see the farm as an extension of home and family life. Some farm to feed their families; others, running huge corporate operations, farm to feed nations. These are the farmers that Women of the Harvest celebrates. In twelve illustrated profiles, the book introduces readers to women who work the land, raising livestock and crops, and, in doing so, uphold and transform a tradition as old as agriculture itself. Their stories, drawn from farms across the country, are truly in the American grain.
