  A collection of love poetry about the Divine Love journey and the timeless principles of Traditional Wisdom.This book of mystical poetry is written for the lover inside all. A modern day Rumi, according to some readers, Suhail has journeyed to the secret garden where the Divine Masculine and Feminine rejoice, in union, ignited by the celebration of their love. And has returned to share his poetic findings here in Flames of Love. Using the language of the lovers, Suhail's poetry conveys that this secret garden is not an ephemeral fairy tale; rather it exists in the space between, which resides within us all. Where the great love story lives on, to ignite our own. Suhail's writing helps us all to continue to expand in the appreciation of the Divine Masculine and Feminine.. Through its poems readers are reminded where the flames of true love reside, knowing that this love is eternal, and can never be extinguished. And through Suhail's honouring of the Divine Feminine, it permits female readers to find safety and permission to honour their own Femininity, with every reading, strengthening this relationship in the external. This magical book of poetry is more than words. For those who are open, it is an opportunity to reunite with your beloved, over and over again. Nourished by Suhail's translation, this book will spark your imagination; the infinite space where lovers' passion cannot be contained.

  My Baby First Birthday

  Radiant and tender, My Baby First Birthday is a collection that examines innocence, asking us who gets to be loved and who has to deplete themselves just to survive. It's about existence and nonexistence, about being born—without consent. Jenny Zhang writes about accepting pain, about the way we fetishize womanhood and motherhood, and reduce women to their violations, traumas, and body parts. She questions the way we feminize and racialize nurturing, and live in service of other people's dreams. Her poems explore the obscenity of patriarchy, whiteness, and capitalism, the violence of rescue and heroism. 
   
   
   
  The magic trick in this book is that despite all these themes, the book never feels like some jeremiad. Zhang uses friendship as a lyric. She seeks tenderness, radiant beauty, and having love for your mistakes. Through all this, she writes about being alone—really alone, like why-was-I-ever-born alone—and trying, despite everything, to reach out and touch something—skin to skin, animal to animal.

  Life has the capacity of great moments and attainment, of lives well-lived, both fulfilling for ourselves and those around us.  But for others life is arduous, there is no spark to ignite the curiosity, to explore a stability and a growth for their lives.   
  Indeed, their lives, in their own eyes, become almost meaningless, their sense of themselves subsumed under a myriad of problems, whether real or imagined. 
  Seismic events in their lives might crush them.  The loss of a loved one for instance.  Coping is difficult, support is hard to find, and isolation abounds.  We never really know the reason, or the motivation, but one final, dreadful way out is the solution. 
  In this volume our authors explore stories that help us understand and recognise a tragic circumstance.

  Knock-knock! Who’s there? 
  Ultimately for all, it will be age. At first, it seems like a bad joke—needing a cane, memory loss, more care, forgetting even one’s own name. In Knock-knock, Lewis creates the persona of an older physician who should’ve known what’s in store. Sometimes the reality is grim, but there’s humor, love, and even romance in his inventive and poetic story-telling. “Lost-and-found / is not a planned / destination.” Yet we all eventually find ourselves there.

  The wild, beautiful landscape and enduring history of Scotland has witnessed much over the centuries, from moments of great beauty to acts of wanton savagery.  These 10 poets are both testament and reflection of that history.
