Book Description
The poet and author’s “beautiful . . . wise and warm” journal of time spent in her New Hampshire home alone with her garden, her books, the seasons, and herself (Eugenia Thornton, Cleveland Plain Dealer). “Loneliness is the poverty of self; solitude is richness of self.” —May Sarton May Sarton’s parrot chatters away as Sarton looks out the window at the rain and contemplates returning to her “real” life—not friends, not even love, but writing. In her bravest and most revealing memoir, Sarton casts her keenly observant eye on both the interior and exterior worlds. She shares insights about everyday life in the quiet New Hampshire village of Nelson, the desire for friends, and need for solitude—both an exhilarating and terrifying state. She likens writing to “cracking open the inner world again,” which sometimes plunges her into depression. She confesses her fears, her disappointments, her unresolved angers. Sarton’s garden is her great, abiding joy, sustaining her through seasons of psychic and emotional pain. Journal of a Solitude is a moving and profound meditation on creativity, oneness with nature, and the courage it takes to be alone. Both uplifting and cathartic, it sweeps us along on Sarton’s pilgrimage inward. This ebook features an extended biography of May Sarton.

Book Description
A masterwork of W. G. Sebald, now with a gorgeous new cover by the famed designer Peter Mendelsund The four long narratives in The Emigrants appear at first to be the straightforward biographies of four Germans in exile. Sebald reconstructs the lives of a painter, a doctor, an elementary-school teacher, and Great Uncle Ambrose. Following (literally) in their footsteps, the narrator retraces routes of exile which lead from Lithuania to London, from Munich to Manchester, from the South German provinces to Switzerland, France, New York, Constantinople, and Jerusalem. Along with memories, documents, and diaries of the Holocaust, he collects photographs—the enigmatic snapshots which stud The Emigrants and bring to mind family photo albums. Sebald combines precise documentary with fictional motifs, and as he puts the question to realism, the four stories merge into one unfathomable requiem.

Book Description
In the echo of silence that follows a loss, we often find ourselves standing on the precipice of an immense void, staring into the depths of grief. This void, though seemingly desolate and forbidding, is the landscape of our healing, a silent testament to the resilience of the human spirit. "Verses from the Void: Poetry for the Mourning Soul" is a journey through this terrain, an exploration of the multifaceted emotions and experiences we encounter when faced with the profound impact of loss. Each chapter in this collection is a beacon of light, illuminating a specific stage of the grieving process. We begin with "Early Grief," a poignant exploration of the initial shock and heartbreak that accompanies loss. The poems in this section serve as raw, candid depictions of the very first steps we take into the labyrinth of grief. "Memories and Nostalgia" and "The Void Whispers" mark the subsequent stages, delving into the heartrending pull of the past and the aching loneliness that seeps into the corners of our existence. These poems evoke images of cherished moments and the daunting silence that reverberates in their absence, respectively. Moving further into the labyrinth, we are met with "Anger and Betrayal" and "Depression and Despair," where the verses embody the turbulence of rage and the deep pits of sorrow. These are the dark valleys of our grief journey, where emotions, raw and unfiltered, rise like tidal waves. "Longing and Yearning" touches upon the deep-rooted desire for what once was, the yearning for the presence of the departed. Each verse echoes with the quiet whispers of longing, like a tender, heartfelt lament for the familiar, now lost. As we navigate the complexity of these emotions, we slowly tread into the realms of "Acceptance and Peace," a stage where the realization of loss transforms into a tranquil understanding. The verses here speak of a farewell - not a final goodbye, but an acceptance of a different form of presence, a continuation of love beyond the physical realm. The final chapter, "Resilience and Healing," represents the dawn breaking on the horizon of our journey. It is a testament to the indomitable human spirit that, even in the face of unimaginable loss, finds the strength to heal and grow. These poems speak of hope and renewal, of finding light in the heart of darkness. "Verses from the Void: Poetry for the Mourning Soul" is more than a collection of poems; it is a compassionate companion for those navigating the winding path of grief. It is an acknowledgement of the pain, a celebration of the memories, and ultimately, a beacon of hope towards healing and reconciliation. It is my sincere hope that these verses bring solace to your mourning soul, reminding you that even in the darkest nights, the dawn awaits.

Book Description
In a time of social distancing and isolation, a meditation on the beauty of solitude from renowned Buddhist writer Stephen Batchelor “Whatever a soul is, the author goes a long way toward soothing it. A very welcome instance of philosophy that can help readers live a good life.”—Kirkus Reviews “Elegant and formally ingenious.”—Geoff Wisner, Wall Street Journal When world renowned Buddhist writer Stephen Batchelor turned sixty, he took a sabbatical from his teaching and turned his attention to solitude, a practice integral to the meditative traditions he has long studied and taught. He aimed to venture more deeply into solitude, discovering its full extent and depth. This beautiful literary collage documents his multifaceted explorations. Spending time in remote places, appreciating and making art, practicing meditation and participating in retreats, drinking peyote and ayahuasca, and training himself to keep an open, questioning mind have all contributed to Batchelor’s ability to be simultaneously alone and at ease. Mixed in with his personal narrative are inspiring stories from solitude’s devoted practitioners, from the Buddha to Montaigne, from Vermeer to Agnes Martin. In a hyperconnected world that is at the same time plagued by social isolation, this book shows how to enjoy the inescapable solitude that is at the heart of human life.
