Book Description
Winding Paths Worn Through Grass offers a meditative experience but also invites the reader to step off the page and walk a summer meadow or stand beside a running mountain brook in winter. This is graceful, elegant poetry, controlled, engaging, marked by lyric simplicity, filled with wisdom and gentleness of vision. Swist pays homage to his roots in Eastern spirituality by his tribute to the Katha Upanishad in the book's initial poem, and he includes a sequence of free-verse tanka written after attending a performance of the Japanese percussion ensemble Kodo. Often honoring European poets such as Attila Jozsef or Giuseppe Ungaretti, or American poets such as Bert Meyers and Robert Francis, these lyric poems focus on the evocation of precise images rooted in the natural world, through which the reader, stopping to listen here, now, may be transported by something as simple and concrete as the wind snapping a branch of white pine into a realm of spiritual transcendence, "going further, further."

'The Fortunes of Oliver Horn' is a coming-of-age novel written by Francis Hopkinson Smith. The story follows a Southern young man named Oliver who came from a wealthy family. He was sent to New York and is expected to give up his dream of becoming a painter and start working, but instead he befriends a group of bohemian artists called the Skylarkers' Club. They get into all sorts of mischief, like inviting a German brass band to play in their loft apartment. Oliver's mother wants him to give up on his dreams and work, but he goes to art college at night anyway. There he meets Margaret Grant, a determined New Englander. Their relationship is strained by their different cultural backgrounds and, later, by the American Civil War.

Book Description
Sweetgrass is a historic tract of land in South Carolina that has been home to the Blakely family for eight generations. But Sweetgrass—named for the indigenous grass that grows in the area—is in trouble. Taxes are skyrocketing. Bulldozers are leveling the surrounding properties. And the Blakelys could be forced to sell the one thing that continues to hold their disintegrating family together. In this poignant novel of hope, acceptance and the powerful gift of forgiveness, Mary Alice Monroe paints an intimate portrait of a family that must learn to unravel old patterns and weave together a new future.
