  May-Day and Other Pieces

  Ralph Waldo Emerson

  Spring arrives with a rush of words, and Ralph Waldo Emerson stands at the threshold, pen in hand. May-Day and Other Pieces is not just a collection of poems—it is an invitation to witness the shifting tides of nature, thought, and destiny through the eyes of one of America's sharpest philosophical minds.
  From the awakening landscapes of May-Day to the untamed wilderness of The Adirondacs, Emerson moves effortlessly between the grandeur of the world and the depths of the soul. The mysticism of Brahma, the inevitability of Fate, the defiance of Freedom—each poem is a meditation, a spark meant to ignite the reader's own reflection. History echoes in the Boston Hymn, sung as the Civil War reshaped a nation, while the lyrical simplicity of My Garden and Seashore captures fleeting moments of peace amid the rush of existence.
  Yet, Emerson never lingers too long in stillness. He follows the restless course of Two Rivers, listens to the quiet solitude of Waldeinsamkeit, and faces the finality of Terminus with unwavering clarity. This is poetry that questions, poetry that endures. It is a journey through seasons, through America, through the self—one that leaves the reader standing on the shore, looking out at the vastness, changed.
  May-Day and Other Pieces is more than verse. It is a conversation with the universe, and Emerson, ever the sage, is still speaking.

  A gripping memoir that shows what freedom looks like when we choose to examine the uncomfortable past 
   
   
   
  Jane is to the world a charismatic personality—opinionated, an inner-city teacher and public activist, a lover of Italy, proud and successful—who thrives on a carefully crafted life narrative. Susannah, her beautiful only daughter and her intended protégé, senses the stricter, darker truth, and fights to resist the control imposed on her by her mother's narcissistic tale, especially as Susannah becomes a mother herself. 
   
   
   
  But then Jane at seventy-five, healthy and fit, chooses suicide, leaving her daughter with grief and the unwelcome gift of forty-five years of hidden diaries. Daring to "read" Jane after her death is like unlatching Pandora's Box. For a year, Susannah twists and turns to the truths she uncovers, comparing what she remembers with what her mother put down in words. As Susannah Kennedy relives her life through her mother's eyes, she grapples with the ties between mothers and daughters and the choices parents make.
