Summary

In "October Vagabonds," Richard Le Gallienne's lyrical prose immerses readers in a tapestry of autumnal reflections, celebrating the transient beauty of nature and the deeper existential ruminations that accompany it. This collection of essays and poems exudes a Romantic sensibility, drawing inspiration from the changing seasons and the vagabond spirit. Le Gallienne'Äôs exploration of themes such as wanderlust, solitude, and the fleeting nature of life serves to evoke a profound sense of nostalgia, inviting readers to embrace both the joys and sorrows associated with impermanence. Richard Le Gallienne (1866-1947) was an English author and poet whose affinity for nature and a bohemian lifestyle greatly influenced his works. A contemporary of the Arts and Crafts Movement, he found inspiration in the natural world and often expressed a deep yearning for freedom'Äîboth physical and artistic. His experiences as a wanderer, roaming the English countryside and later the boulevards of Paris, shape this collection as he articulates the beauty of both the external world and inner longing. "October Vagabonds" is a must-read for lovers of poetic prose and nature writing. Le Gallienne's evocative language and philosophical insights offer a sanctuary for those pondering life's larger questions in the flickering light of autumn. This book is perfect for readers seeking an aesthetic and contemplative escape, beautifully intertwining contemplation and creativity.

    What if your first love were a forbidden one? 
    At twenty-three, Felice Cohen was, like other recent college grads, hesitant about entering the real world, with the added stress of coming out in the early nineties. Focused on how to land a full-time position as a writer, falling in love was the last thing on her mind. 
    But fall in love she did. With her boss, a woman thirty-four years older. 
    Felice and Sarah embarked on a high-stakes, year-long love affair. Addicted to the high of first love, Felice was enthralled by Sarah’s attention and content to hide their love in the shadows. Sarah, meanwhile, threw caution to the wind, risking her comfortably established life that included a prestigious job and long-term girlfriend. Though not perfect, it was enough.  
    That was until their secret was exposed, forcing Felice to publicly acknowledge their illicit love or start a new life for herself. Felice chose to walk away.  
    In this candid coming-of-age memoir—as compelling as a novel—Felice chronicles the happiness and heartbreak of an age-gap love affair while struggling to figure out the direction of her future. Ultimately, this is a story about navigating life’s unpredictable path while following one’s heart, and finding acceptance.

    Society often questions and ridicules the pace and depth at which we grieve a loss, but especially the loss of a pet. The same pointed questions and hollow phrases are repeated over again, which ultimately create more pain and social withdrawal as we fall short of their expectations. 
    But there are others who understand that losing a pet is one of the most devastating experiences while the process of mourning has no timeframe. The first step to healing is understanding grief is unique, personal, and necessary. Through emotional validation and shared insight of others who've experienced similar circumstances, there is a community of compassion. Grief may not have a roadmap, but there is hope through the trauma and pain. 
    Our Stars Still Shine is a collection of heartfelt memoirs from 22 different authors, written in their own words. From across the world, their stories connect them through shared experiences of deep love, pain, and finding life after loss.
