Home Is the Road - Wandering the...

Diane Glancy

From the award-winning Native American literary writer Diane Glancy comes a book about travel, belonging, and home. Travel is not merely a means to bring us from one location to another. "My sense of place is in the moving," Glancy writes. For her the road is home—its own satisfying destination. But the road also makes demands on us: asking us to be willing to explore the incomprehensible parts of the landscapes we inhabit and pass through—as well as to, ultimately, let them blur as they go by. This, Glancy says, is home. 
 
 
 
Glancy teases out the lessons of the road that are never easy to define, grappling with her own: childhood's puzzle pieces of her Cherokee heritage and a fraught but still compelling vision of Christianity. As she clocks an inordinate amount of driving, as she experiments with literary forms, she looks to what the land has held for centuries, before the roads were ever there. 
 
 
 
This, ultimately, is a book about land, tradition, religion, questions, and the puzzle pieces none of us can put together quite right. It's a book about peripheral vision, conflicting narratives, and a longing for travel.

Whiskey Wanderlust and Woven Tales

Jordan H Poole

No good story begins with "we were just drinking water." 
They begin with a cocktail. And a choice. 
Ten stories from the American South. Ten drinks that unlock them. One unforgettable journey through the places and moments that change everything. 
A hardware store revelation over Jack and Coke. A roadside  epiphany with a Sidecar. An Olympic memory preserved in something amber and strong. Each tale in "Whiskey, Wanderlust, and Woven Tales" arrives with its own invitation—mix this, sip slow, and let the story find you. 
This is the South beyond the postcards: raw, real, and complicated. Where strangers become family over bourbon. Where truth lives at the bottom of a glass. Where the best stories are the ones you almost didn't tell. 
David Sedaris-style wit. Anthony Bourdain-level hunger for authentic experience. Served neat, with a Southern drawl. 
Each story unfolds in three acts: The Spirits, The Tale, The Ponderance. You provide the glass. These stories provide everything else—the humor, the heartache, the moments that stick with you long after last call.
