  Reversing Entropy - Poems

  From the pen of beloved poet Luci Shaw comes a new collection that celebrates inspired creativity as an antidote to chaos.
  The poet's own words best describe the heart of this pinnacle collection of new work by beloved writer Luci Shaw:
  
  Entropy: A measure of the molecular disorder, or randomness, of a system, its lack of order or predictability, resulting in a gradual decline into disorder. 
  
  Our universe, and the systems within it, constantly shift from their created states of order towards disorder, or chaos. The second law of thermodynamics asserts that entropy, or disorder, always increases with time. Creative human activities such as art, architecture, music, story or film are human efforts to halt and reverse this loss of meaning. Thus, smaller systems, like individual poems, become highly ordered as they receive energy from outside themselves, from the poet. They reverse entropy because they are moving from a state of disorder (all the random ideas, words and phrases available to the writer) into an orderly form designed by the writer to create meaningful images and concepts in the reader's mind (which is where the word "imag-ination" comes from.) This transfer of images, concepts and ideas into the mind of a reader is the task of poetry and the calling of the poet. Just as a composer of music gathers rhythms, notes, melodies, or harmony, organizing them into fugues or sonatas or concertos, so poets work and write to discover ways of arranging their responses to the world in words that introduce meaning and beauty in the mind of the reader. 
  
  Which is what I've been trying to do for most of my life.

  Septet for the Luminous Ones

  Continuing her search for a neotropical mythos, in this brilliant second collection poet fahima ife articulates various scenes of subduction. Spoken in quiet recognition and grounded in desire, Septet for the Luminous Ones imagines a lush soundscape textured in oblique spiritual fusion of the Taíno and Yoruba. Or, what it sounded like coming together for the first time, and what it sounds like ever after—breathless, diaspora calling. Similar to the incidents in Maroon Choreography, what resounds in these poems is an ecstatic love song of the Caribbean Americas, of the main lands and islands, shaped and reshaped as breathwork, ritual, communion, and fantasy. In essence, the collection speaks to raise the vibrational frequencies of all species on Earth through a sensual pulse of Black English.From Alchemical Sirensit flickers in balsamic appealmoist in the palms of our handsa psalm a lamp a sap in our lapsan aspplausible love song          after love poemswere last put on holdas in b l a ck a r tthe new black art is this —        find the lost soul and love it

  "All, Everything That I Understand, I Understand Only Because I Love."
  
  Leo Tolstoy stands as a giant of the literary world, a writer whose work is so vast and deeply human that it feels like life itself. Known for his ability to capture the grand movements of history alongside the most intimate flickers of the human heart, Tolstoy's novels are essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of society, faith, and the soul. This comprehensive collection spans his entire novelistic career, from his early semi-autobiographical reflections to his massive historical epics and later spiritual awakenings.
  
  The Architect of the Human Soul: Tolstoy's genius lay in his "psychological realism"—the ability to portray characters with such depth and nuance that they transcend the page. His work explores the tension between the individual and the state, the search for meaning in a world of suffering, and the transformative power of love and simplicity. Whether he is documenting the Napoleonic Wars or the tragic constraints of aristocratic marriage, Tolstoy's prose remains a masterclass in observation and empathy.
  
  Tolstoy's influence on the world extends far beyond literature, impacting the thoughts of figures like Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. This volume is the definitive cornerstone for any library of world classics, historical fiction, and philosophical literature.
  
  Experience the full breadth of a master. Buy "The Complete Novels of Leo Tolstoy" today and journey through the heart of the human experience.

  The Soul We Share

  Winner of the 2023 Aryamati Collection Competition.
  Through visceral and vulnerable poetry, Ricky Ray meditates on the pain and gratitude that arise from a keenly felt awareness of our fleeting existence. Recognizing his humanity as a facet of natural processes, Ricky measures the ache of living in a disabled body against the joy of \'being lived\' by the places he inhabits. As we accompany him and his soul dog, Addie, through the scenic woodlands of New England, the concrete jungle of Manhattan, and the swamps of the Deep South, the lines between humans, animals and nature begin to blur and move in concert. Shifting between forms both physical and elemental, we read of an existence lived not 'upon / but as one' with the Earth, \'whose being we are throughout and beyond our brief sojourn as human\'. At the heart of this collection is the transformative experience of Ricky's life with an old brown dog, which teaches that soul isn't merely something we possess—it's an animacy deeply shared.
