  An author’s walk “from source to sea along the Ouse in Sussex is a meandering, meditative delight” drawing on history, literature, and the river itself (The Guardian, UK). In To The River, author Olivia Laing embarks on a weeklong, midsummer odyssey along the banks of the River Ouse in Sussex, England, from its source near Haywards Heath to the sea, where it empties into the Channel at Newhaven. More than sixty years after Virginia Woolf drowned herself in the River Ouse, Laing still finds inspiration and guidance in the author’s abiding presence. Through cow pastures, woods, and neighborhood streets, Laing’s meandering walk occasions a profound and haunting reflection on histories both personal and cultural, and on landscapes both physical and emotional. Along the way, she explores the roles that rivers play in human lives, tracing their intricate flow through literature, mythology and folklore. Lyrical and stirring, To the River is a passionate investigation into how history resides in a landscape - and how ghosts never quite leave the places they love.“Magical…By turns lyrical, melancholic and exultant, To the River just makes you want to follow Olivia Laing all the way to the sea.”—Daily Telegraph, UK

  You Can't Rip Velcro Quietly -...

  “I Didn’t Ask For Your Life Story” - Well, Here It Is Anyway. 
  ‘You can’t rip velcro quietly' is a compendium of “Sam Stories”, following my adventures from ages 18-30. These were the formative adult years where I began to forge my own path. I’d experienced great triumphs, success and no shortage of laughter, mostly at my expense - however I was becoming increasingly anxious, indecisive and lost. I needed to find out why.  
  As an aspiring writer and filmmaker, I thought perhaps if I could attempt to shape my character arc thus far, I'd see how I became who I am, and harness lessons of the past to guide my future. I had to explore my own ‘Heroes Journey’ to work out how to write the next chapters in my life. I found not only myself in this process, but a broader message and theme, perhaps applicable to all. Therefore, I decided to release this to the world.

  We Are All Armenian - Voices...

  A collection of essays about Armenian identity and belonging in the diaspora. 
   
   
   
  In the century since the Armenian Genocide, Armenian survivors and their descendants have written of a vast range of experiences using storytelling and activism, two important aspects of Armenian culture. Wrestling with questions of home and self, diasporan Armenian writers bear the burden of repeatedly telling their history, as it remains widely erased and obfuscated. Telling this history requires a tangled balance of contextualizing the past and reporting on the present, of respecting a culture even while feeling lost within it. 
   
   
   
  We Are All Armenian brings together established and emerging Armenian authors to reflect on the complications of Armenian ethnic identity today. These personal essays elevate diasporic voices that have been historically silenced inside and outside of their communities, including queer, multiracial, and multiethnic writers. The eighteen contributors to this contemporary anthology explore issues of displacement, assimilation, inheritance, and broader definitions of home. Through engaging creative nonfiction, many of them question what it is to be Armenian enough inside an often unacknowledged community.

  What if the very place life placed you…
was the exact place from which you were meant to see the world differently? 
  Born in a small village in Ecuador and brought to the United States as a child for life-changing medical care, Zully JF Alvarado grew up navigating two cultures, physical challenges, and a future that many assumed would be limited. 
  But Zully never accepted that story. 
  From designing award-winning footwear for people with hard-to-fit feet, to leading international humanitarian missions, to mentoring others in building independent lives through entrepreneurship and technology, her life became proof of a simple truth: 
  Possibility does not come from perfect circumstances.
It comes from perspective. 
  In From Where I Sit: Anything and Everything Is Possible, Zully shares the experiences, lessons, and quiet moments that shaped her understanding of resilience, purpose, and courage. 
  Through personal stories and reflections, readers will discover: 
  • How perspective can transform obstacles into opportunities 
  • Why the way we see ourselves shapes what we believe is possible 
  • How adversity can become a powerful teacher 
  • Why independence begins with a decision to think differently 
  This book is an invitation. 
  An invitation to pause.
To reconsider the limits you have accepted.
And to see your life through a new lens. 
  Because sometimes the greatest change begins with a simple shift in perspective. 
  From where you sit… what becomes possible?
