  OverviewLife is full of Exits and Entrances... Some are beautiful, and some are bewildering. We may face circumstances that are beyond our control. What matters is how we choose to walk through them when they come. Follow Annalise and Oliver through many Exits & Entrances.1982She was determined to drive west until she found at least a sliver of blue sky. The persistent rain had decaffeinated everything. From the sky itself, to her hazel eyes that held nothing but a hollow gaze, the energy had long since been drained from it all. She was aware of the gray blanket that was weighing everything down, and knew she needed to be intentional about finding the sun today. Long drives could be good for the soul, and today was the day she would indulge in one.2022A full head of curly gray, unruly hair, lay against his left elbow that had sunk onto the top of the grand piano hours ago. His long, knotted fingers stretched out over the ivory keys that awaited his masterful touch. He'd not been able to leave behind the keys and the bench, not even for a beckoning night of sleep. This was the place where he'd spent so many beautiful hours with the love of his life.

  An NPR Best Book of the Year 
  A collection of poetry from one of our most acclaimed contemporary poets, Pulitzer Prize winner Jorie Graham 
  In her formidable and clairvoyant collection, Runaway, Jorie Graham deepens her vision of our futurity. What of us will survive? Identity may be precarious, but perhaps love is not? 
  Keeping pace with the desperate runaway of climate change, social disruption, our new mass migrations, she struggles to reimagine a habitable present—a now—in which we might endure, wary, undaunted, ever-inventive, “counting silently towards infinity.” Graham’s essential voice guides us fluently “as we pass here now into the next-on world,” what future we have surging powerfully through these pages, where the poet implores us “to the last be human.”

  Travel in time - a life story in...

  Written to make you smile, dream, cry, and shudder by the magic of love.  
  Travel in Time, A Life Story in Poems is for you, as a reader, an experience of a new world; a world where fantasy and reality have created distinct imageries and memorable moments. It is the story of a young girl and her profound and painful love, the story of her loneliness, of her travels across the world. The magic of her discoveries is captivating. It is the voice of justice and injustice that she will encounter in the beginning of her travels; it is the harshness of life where she will grow and mature. There are distinct and profound moments in the process of growing, such as the challenges of immigration, the consolation she will find in nature or by wandering with her mind across the universe. Until one day, when she will understand that life could be everything: an adventure, a dream, an illusion or endless love. Although her story is apart, the search for an unreachable love is popular and resonates with the destiny of many women around the world.  
  There is also the spirit of various cultures that flickers through the verses. The vivid imageries of Transylvania, the almost audible song of a lonely shepherd or the howling wolves in the moonlight may shutter and delight the reader’s spirit. Or, there might be the imageries from native Australia that may stir and reinvigorate your emotions. The combination of diverse cultures, of real events wrapped into a poetical form, may contribute, among other aspects, to the distinct spirit of the story.  
  Feasibly, during the journey you might also giggle or shudder by seeing the ghost of your own love story.

  Velvel's Violin

  Velvel's Violin, a deeply moving and political fifth collection by TS Eliot Prize-shortlisted poet Jacqueline Saphra places us on the shifting ground between past and present. Through its search for missing histories of the Jewish diaspora, the book is a call for empathy and a warning to a world where the legacy of the Holocaust echoes current narratives of prejudice, war, displacement, and migration.
  Saphra's precisely-tuned writing ranges through tones of dark humour, lyrical beauty and moments of transcendent joy to find assonance between the turbulence of now and a family history of fragmented stories, irreparable loss and miraculous escapes. Between each poem - forgotten songs, weeping forests, buried violins - sound and silence combine to speak of love, absence and survival.
