  "With Virginia Woolf alongside them, Queyras journeys through rooms literal and figurative, complicating and deepening our understanding of what it means to create space for oneself as a writer. Their hard-won language challenges us to resist any glib associations of Woolf’s famous ‘room’ with an easy freedom. Inspiring and moving, Queyras’s memoir testifies to Woolf’s continuing generative power."—Mark Hussey, editor of Virginia Woolf's Between the Acts (2011) and author of Clive Bell and the Making of Modernism (2021)
     
  "In this beautiful, perceptive book, Sina Queyras moves deftly between the words and wake of Virginia Woolf and their own formation as writer, lover, teacher, friend, and person. Rooms is expert in its depiction of personal and literary histories, and firmly aware of its moment of composition. Reading these pages, I was enticed by Queyras’s curiosity and openness, thrilled by the sharp edges of their anger. Tight prose, electric thinking, self-discovery – it’s all here, all abuzz. Rooms is alive." – Heather Christle, author of The Crying Book
     
  "It is impossible not to question the world as we thought we knew it by the end of this book. Sina Queyras painstakingly aims their extraordinary nerve and talent at Virginia Woolf’s idea of a room of one’s own: 'It’s a mistake to consider the room without all of its entanglements.' Taking Woolf’s cue, Queyras explores writing that is not world-building but something far more generous and transformative; as Woolf wrote, 'Literature is open to everybody.'" – CAConrad, author of AMANDA PARADISE: Resurrect Extinct Vibration

  Wisdom - The Light of...

  Wisdom is a multifaceted quality that transcends the mere accumulation of facts and figures. It is the ability to perceive the deeper significance behind everyday experiences and to understand the interplay between knowledge and life’s unpredictable nature. Unlike raw information or even learned expertise, wisdom is characterized by a profound sense of balance and clarity that arises from an open mind and a reflective heart. It is an inner compass that guides us through the complexities of human existence, allowing us to navigate moral dilemmas, understand subtle nuances, and ultimately live in harmony with our values and the world around us. 
  At its core, wisdom emerges from the synthesis of diverse experiences, insights, and personal reflections. It is the culmination of lessons learned from both successes and failures, each contributing to a broader perspective on life. The journey to wisdom involves not only the acquisition of knowledge but also the deliberate practice of introspection. This process enables individuals to filter out the noise of everyday distractions and focus on what truly matters. Through this continuous engagement with our inner selves, we begin to understand that true wisdom is not static but a dynamic process of growth and self-improvement. 
  A key element of wisdom is the recognition of our own limitations. Understanding that no one can know everything opens the door to humility, which in turn fosters a mindset of continuous learning. This humility allows us to appreciate the complexity of life and respect the insights offered by others, regardless of their background or status. It is in this space of mutual respect and genuine curiosity that the seeds of wisdom are planted, nurtured by a willingness to question, reflect, and adapt. Furthermore, wisdom is not solely an individual pursuit; it flourishes in communities where shared experiences and collective reflection pave the way for deeper understanding.

  The Ancient Underground Wall in...

  The underground rock wall in Rockwall, Texas has fascinated me for years.  
  I’ve read everything I could online about it. Recently I moved from Los Angeles to Denton, Texas which is only about an hour drive from Rockwall. So I went there and spent an hour with the Rockwall County Museum Curator and learned a lot more about the structure. 
  Was also able to examine and take pictures of the wall section moved from the actual wall and reconstructed outside the museum. 
  In this book I’ve related the history of the wall’s discovery, excavations, interesting items and structures found on or near the wall, and information about possible giants who might have built it. 
  There are a lot of unanswered questions about this structure which still need to be learned. Those questions are listed near the end of this book.

  The Truth About Love - How to...

  We are trained from the youngest of ages to imagine that love is a force outside of ourselves; that if you keep swiping, one day your prince will come; that love is something you have to look for, work for, diet for.
  The truth is: we are creators of love, not discoverers of love, and until we realise that love comes out of us, rather than to us, we'll never really get it or feel it.
  Conor Creighton learned this the hard way with a string of tumultuous relationships in his past. That was until, through meditation, he woke up to the powerful force that is self-love and watched as his relationships and the whole world transformed around him.
  In a unique hybrid of memoir and self-help, here Conor uses his life lessons to help readers wake up to the truth about love. A modern manifesto and spiritual guide to relationships, The Truth About Love makes a daring call to action, showing how to change yourself and the world around you through the courageous act of opening your heart.
