  Where Things Touch - A...

  Finalist for the 2021 Gerald Lampert Memorial Award
  
  To devote oneself to the study of beauty is to offer footnotes to the universe for all the places and all the moments that one observes beauty. I can no longer grab beauty by her wrists and demand articulation or meaning. I can only take account of where things touch.
  Part lyric essay, part prose poetry, Where Things Touch grapples with the manifold meanings and possibilities of beauty.
  Drawing on her experiences as a physician-in-training, Orang considers clinical encounters and how they relate to the concept and very idea of beauty. Such considerations lead her to questions about intimacy, queerness, home, memory, love, and other aspects of human existence. Throughout, beauty is ultimately imagined as something inextricably tied to care: the care of lovers, of patients, of art and literature, and the various non-human worlds that surround us.
  Eloquent and meditative in its approach, beauty, here, beyond base expectations of frivolity and superficiality, is conceived of as a thing to recover.Where Things Touch is an exploration of an essential human pleasure, a necessary freedom by which to challenge what we know of ourselves and the world we inhabit.
  2021 Gerald Lampert Memorial Award Jury Citation:
  "Tapestry-like in form, Orang's lyrical poetic essay stitches together an exploration of beauty and aesthetics that is woven with humility and relationality to other. Her immense sense of craft and confidence make for breath stopping moments, over and over, while at the same time filling the senses with powerful and piercing revelation. 'Reading,' she writes, 'is a kind of ecological activity'– and it is a privilege to situate yourself within Orang's topographies of love."

  Summary: What Happened to You? (Oprah Winfrey and Bruce Perry) 
  You are likely to be familiar with the question, “What’s wrong with you?” We've all encountered it at some point, and most likely, we've asked it ourselves. But have you ever considered that this might be the wrong question to ask? 
  In a powerful and compelling conversation, Oprah and Dr. Perry discuss the importance of our past in shaping us and why asking “What’s wrong with you?” might be an unhelpful and misguided question. They propose shifting the focus to “What happened to you?” instead. This may seem simple, but it has been groundbreaking in changing the way we understand and think about trauma, which in turn has offered a significantly more optimistic approach to recovery. 
  Asking “What happened to you?” also removes any unintentional blame or fault directed toward any traumatized individual. It favors a compassionate, empathetic approach to therapy and healing. But this is just one of the core messages of Oprah and Dr. Perry’s book. 
  “Summary: What Happened to You?” provides you with all the powerful ideas, practices, and concepts that Oprah and Dr. Perry discuss in their original book. 
  You'll get:A complete breakdown of the original covering the most essential aspects of it in a concise, clear, and easy-to-read format—without missing anything important!Explanations of key brain systems and processes from a world-leading neuroscientist and trauma specialist.Information on different methods of trauma treatment.A powerful combination of storytelling and the latest research on neuroscience and traumatology.Shocking facts about trauma.And much more! 
  While it is beneficial to have read their original work, it’s not compulsory, as this summary will provide you with all the information you need. Don't miss out on the combined wisdom of these two giants.
