Synopsis

In "Life's Little Stage," Agnes Giberne artfully navigates the intricacies of human experience through a tapestry of poignant narratives and reflective prose. Constructed as a series of vignettes, the book captures moments of joy, sorrow, and introspection, weaving together themes of family, society, and the passage of time. Giberne's eloquent yet accessible literary style draws upon the Victorian discourse, blending philosophical musings with the intricacies of personal stories, thus situating the work within the broader context of 19th-century literature that often grappled with the interplay of individualism and communal values. Agnes Giberne, a prolific author of her time, was deeply influenced by her background and the social climate of the late 19th century. Raised in an intellectually stimulating environment, she was exposed to a range of philosophical and literary ideas that undoubtedly shaped her nuanced perspectives on life. Giberne's engagement with both scientific thought and spiritual inquiries informs her work, allowing her to address universal themes in a compassionate and insightful manner. "Life's Little Stage" warrants a place on every reader's shelf for its profound exploration of life's complexities. It invites readers to reflect on their own experiences while encouraging empathy and understanding within the shared human narrative. Those seeking introspective literature that resonates on both emotional and intellectual levels will find Giberne's work a captivating journey.

    Mary Simmons’s debut is a world unto itself: a dark storybook realm, lush and full of eerie possibility, a place outside of time where women move in different forms and pass on warnings and wisdom. In the spirit of a Victorian naturalist’s collection, this book brings together found elements from nature, folklore, mythology, ballet, and oral tradition, crafting a strange, kaleidoscopic beauty and complicating inherited definitions of femininity. As these poems blur dichotomies—maiden and witch, mother and daughter, friend and lover—they reach for a new vision of womanhood beyond the bounds of roles and expectations, one that is mystical, ethereal, a little dangerous, and inherently queer. In the process, they tap into deep currents of yearning, grapple with corporeality, raise larger questions about love and what lasts, and find meaning in the uncanny and the macabre. In these pages are insects and omens, wolves and birds and weird apparitions, Odile and Ophelia, even a seventeenth-century professional poisoner. Original, atmospheric, and immersive, this is a work like no other: a tour through an enchanted forest, a darkness that’s illuminating.

    A new collection from Sister Sharon Hunter, CJ celebrating the people and circumstances who help make us what we are.
    
    "For several months in 2020, I awoke most days at 3:00 a.m. to a mind busily at work; my own, of course. I had a choice to make, ignore it or explore it. Vivid memories, pictures really, of people I once knew climbed from the depth of my subconscious where I'd cleverly assigned them. They captured my attention, and rightfully so, for I owed them. When we reject our heritage, as I did, because it's not image worthy, we cancel as well those who enhanced our lives. Good people, brave people, wise people, sometimes shady and crooked people, all contribute to our circle of life. To fully understand me, I must include them. Chance Encounters is my thank you to those I carelessly tossed away in quest of shallow acceptability. They're alive once again on the pages of this book. And I'm forever grateful for their vibrant beauty, courage, ingenuity, and fascinating eccentricities. They paid the world the high compliment of being themselves." —Sister Sharon Hunter, CJ
