  Getting Through What You're...

  Read by the author.  
  Find hope and purpose as you discover that you’re right where you’re supposed to be. 
  Maybe you thought you’d be further along by now. Or have a different kind of life. Maybe you thought that relationship would have happened, that dream would have come true, that path would have opened up—and it didn’t. Or you feel stuck, behind, not sure if you made a wrong turn somewhere. You’re trying to make sense of what is, even if what “is” is not what you thought it would be. Or maybe you’re searching for a moment of peace before carrying on. 
  Getting Through What You’re Going Through by poet and writer Tanner Olson explores these ideas and offers you hope through it all. You don’t have to just “get through”; you can “go through”—all the ups and downs, disappointments, unexpected surprises—knowing that God is present and hope remains. In this collection of over one hundred poems and reflections, Tanner shows that God’s timing may be slow until it isn’t. Every day presents a gift to open. And hope is there to be found in the simplest things—a cup of coffee, a good friend, a single pancake. 
  If you’re feeling stuck, unsettled, or even just happy to be here, know that hope remains and you’re right where you’re supposed to be.

  "Leaves of Grass" is a seminal work of American literature, a poetry collection authored by Walt Whitman. First published in 1855 and repeatedly revised and expanded upon throughout Whitman's lifetime, it is a celebration of humanity, nature, love, and the vastness of the American experience. The poems are noted for their free verse and candidly open exploration of sensuality, self, and the interconnectedness of all things. Among its most famous sections is "Song of Myself," where Whitman delves deep into the concept of the individual and the collective, connecting the tangible with the transcendental.

  Love is a Dog From Hell

  Charles Bukowski

  A classic in the Bukowski poetry canon, Love Is a Dog from Hell is a raw, lyrical, exploration of the exigencies, heartbreaks, and limits of love. 
  A book that captures the Dirty Old Man of American letters at his fiercest and most vulnerable, on a subject that hits home with all of us. Charles Bukowski was a man of intense emotions, someone an editor once called a “passionate madman.” Alternating between tough and gentle, sensitive and gritty, Bukowski lays bare the myriad facets of love—its selfishness and its narcissism, its randomness, its mystery and its misery, and, ultimately, its true joyfulness, endurance, and redemptive power. 
  ""there is a loneliness in this world so great 
  that you can see it in the slow movement of 
  the hands of a clock.""
