  The captain of the Titanic went down with his ship on 15 April, 1912. But thoughts have power, and those who endure in the stories of the living are said to continue to roam the world after their deaths. And so the captain wanders in search of the things he tried to find in life, and discovers his destiny intimately entwined with a painter who shares the same fate, not knowing that their paths had crossed a long time ago. 
   
  The Impermanence of Lilies is a melancholic tribute to the nature of life and a yearning for love, in a story that reaches across lifetimes, borders, and the space between two hearts. 
   
   
  "A poetic, poignant love letter to life. Daniel Yeo has important things to tell us about the painful beauty of impermanence, and he tells them with a tender lyricism." 
  -Melissa de Villiers, author of The Chameleon House 
   
  “A wistful travel narrative by the RMS Titanic Captain that dives into preternatural waters, flowing into surprising and surrealist tributaries of reflections on death, memory, identity, friendship, and unwaveringly, love.” 
  -Cyril Wong, poet and fictionist

  Angel Cruz is imprisoned at Riker’s Island because he shot the cult leader who brainwashed and stole his friend. Angel meets Lucius, who is awaiting extradition to Florida—where he casually killed eight people while paranoid and high on drugs. Two men who might otherwise never have met are brought together behind bars. Lucius takes his solace in God and Angel thinks he knows what he believes in but finds that he doesn’t. A riveting work from the recipient of the 2006 PEN Literary Award for Drama, which cites Guirgis as “creating a theatre that feels vital, political, intimate and undeniably of the moment”.
  
  An L.A. Theatre Works full cast performance featuring:
  
  Marco Greco as Charlie d’Amico
  Janel Moloney as Mary Beth Harnahan
  Joe Quintero as Angel Cruz
  Charlie Robinson as Lucius Jenkins
  David Zayas as Valdez
  
  Directed by Richard Masur. Recorded before a live audience at the Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles in November of 2006.

The poetry within will accompany those who consciously enter the inner world to explore the gardens within—out of the everyday "world of dust"—through an ascending hierarchy that restores one's soul to the heart, the heart to the spirit, and, in finding spirit, transcends all.

  With fifty new, original poems, Northern Moons emerges as a continuum to Rob Taylor’s previous books. The spiritually-based essence of Taylor’s poetry speaks to the layers of consciousness that compose our soul. Each line is constructed (regardless of content or perceived context) as an inspiration for the reader to engage in a mindfulness approach to understanding the dynamics and worth of human influence across the spectrum of creation. The outcome of that effort is a greater capacity for love of each other and eventually cultivating a “human” community.
