Synopsis

Inspired by a voracious curiosity about humans and other subjects, the poems in Heather Christle's What Is Amazing describe and invent worlds in an attempt to understand through participation. The book draws upon the wisdom of foolishness and the logic of glee, while simultaneously exploring the suffering inherent to embodied consciousness. Speakers play out moments of bravado and fear, love and mortality, disappointment and desire. They socialize incorrigibly with lakes, lovers, fire, and readers, reasoning their way to unreasonable conclusions. These poems try to understand how it is that we come to recognize and differentiate objects and beings, how wholly each is attached to its name, and which space reveals them. What Is Amazing delights in fully inhabiting its varied forms and voices, singing worlds that often coincide with our own.

This audiobook, narrated with a compelling voice that weaves through the intricacies of human experiences and philosophical musings, invites listeners on a journey that challenges perceptions, enlightens minds, and soothes souls. The narrative begins by exploring the power of words—seemingly simple symbols that can uplift or destroy, enlighten or obscure. 
    "Nothing vs Everything Vice Versa" eloquently argues that words are not mere communication vehicles, but potent tools that shape our realities, beliefs, and identities. Through captivating stories and thoughtful analyses, the audiobook reveals how the words we choose to use and the narratives we tell ourselves and others construct the edifice of our lives. It emphasizes the responsibility that comes with this power and the transformative potential of mindful communication.

    Step into a beautiful farewell to poetry that forms the culmination of a decades-long love affair. 
    As the powerful conclusion to a 35-year-long love affair with poetry, this poignant book compiles author Brett C Persson's farewell to haiku, echoing with a bittersweet yet beautiful send-off to a passion that helped support him through his darkest moments. 
    Weaving together timeless themes of nature, religion, joy, love, loss, death, and the key moments that shaped his life, this collection ranges over the breadth of human experience, bringing things full circle and serving as the starting point for new adventures into the world of literature. Through the minimalist and simplistic beauty of traditional Japanese haiku, this book captures passing thoughts and crystallizes them into vivid mental imagery, painting a portrait with every verse. 
    With a dash of random haikus to lighten the mood and give readers some thought-provoking ideas to reflect on, The Ending of the Path teaches us that although all good things must come to an end, they often serve as the foundation for new and exciting directions. This collection is a heartfelt book that will soothe the souls of poetry fans, offering a fresh new perspective on experiences that the greatest poets have grappled with for generations.

    “Momaday must be ranked among the greatest of our contemporary writers.”—American Scholar 
    From Pulitzer Prize winner and revered literary master N. Scott Momaday, a beautiful and enchanting new poetry collection, at once a celebration of language, imagination, and the human spirit. 
    “Language and the imagination work hand in hand, and together they enable us to reveal us to ourselves in story. That is indeed a magical process. . . . We imagine and we dream, and we translate our dreams into language.” —from the Preface 
    A singular voice in American letters, Momaday’s love of language and storytelling are on full display in this brilliant new collection comprising one hundred sketches or “dream drawings”—furnishings of the mind—as he calls them. Influenced by his Native American heritage and its oral storytelling traditions, here are prose poems about nature, animals, warriors, and hunters, as well as meditations that explore themes of love, loss, time, and memory. Each piece, full of wisdom and wonder, showcases Momaday’s extraordinary lyrical talent, the breadth of his imagination, and the transformative power of his writing.  
    Poignant, inspired, and timeless, this is a collection that will nourish the soul.
