    There is something about the number 3.    
     
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
     
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
     
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

    In a searching and powerful debut memoir, award-winning poet and literary translator Ani Gjika tells a different kind of origin story by writing about the ways a woman listens to her own body, intuition, and desire. 
     
     
     
    Ani Gjika was born in Albania and came of age just after the fall of Communism, a time when everyone had a secret to keep and young women were afraid to walk down the street alone. When her family immigrates to America, Gjika finds herself far from the grandmother who helped raise her, grappling with a new language, and isolated from aging parents who are trying in their own ways to survive. When she meets a young man whose mind leans toward writing, as hers does, Ani falls in love—at least, she thinks it's love. 
     
     
     
    Set across Albania, Thailand, India, and the US, An Unruled Body is a young woman's journey to selfhood through the lenses of language, sexuality, and identity, and how she learns to find freedom of expression on her own terms.

    I first met Mike Pinder when the interview you are about to hear was conducted in the mid-1990s.  Tt was generally known that Mike was very spiritually evolved and able to mirror his deep realizations through his incredible music both as a solo artist and with the Moody Blues. As an interviewer, I was taken by the sincerity, depth, and breadth of his knowledge and wisdom. Pinder gave freely the benefit of his unique understanding of life through the music that so effortlessly flowed from within.There was an incredible honesty about the man which gave everything he said a moral authority and simple truth that was quite amazing. Without ever posing as one Mike was a very high spiritual teacher.  What you will hear is an incredible document of not only the early history and success Mike Pinder achieved as a musician and composer but also the deeper aspects of living a true spiritual life amidst the material maelstrom.Mike was in many ways the soul of The Moody Blues, a progressive band of brothers that touched so many. Fortunately, he has left behind a huge portion of his great spirit within his indelible and enlightening music and words. This audiobook is a tribute of the triumph of true spiritual life made manifest within the context of this rare and wonderful musician composer and philosopher.Here Pinder speaks for himself from the vantage of a life well lived centered upon the deepest from within the soulful core of this wonderful being. His music and philosophy will live long. Mike's inspirational travels continue. Geoffrey Giuliano, 2024
