  In the 200 years since Blake's death, the visionary artist, poet, and writer has become a household name, often beloved. Yet many struggle to comprehend his kaleidoscopic ideas; how they speak to human longings and the challenges of living in anxious times.Philosopher and psychotherapist Mark Vernon provides a fresh route into Blake, taking him at his word. Exploring this brilliant thinker's passionate writings, arresting artworks, and fascinating life, Vernon illuminates Blake's vivid worldview. Like us, he lived in a tumultuous era of war, discontent, rapid technological change, and human estrangement from nature. He exposed the dark sides of political fervor and social moralizing, while unashamedly celebrating love and liberty. But he also conversed with prophets and angels, and was powerfully, if unconventionally, religious. If we take this seriously—not easy, in secular times—then Blake can help us to unlock the transformative power of imagination.Written for both longstanding fans and those unfamiliar with his work, Awake! reveals Blake as an invigorating and hopeful guide for our modern age.

  In Justify This, veteran character actor Nick Searcy takes you through his wide-ranging career, from both sides of the camera as an actor and director, to guest-hosting for Rush Limbaugh, managing a professional wrestler, costarring in the hit show Justified—and somehow continuing to work in Hollywood even after he went to Washington DC on January 6, 2021. 
   
   
   
  Director of Gosnell: The Trial of America's Biggest Serial Killer and producer/star of the seminal documentary about January 6, Capitol Punishment, Nick's story of following his heart to become a professional actor and following his conscience and faith to stand up for what he believed—even though it might have cost him the career he built—will be an inspiration to you—and make you laugh along the way. 
   
   
   
  Actor, director, producer, writer, wrestling manager, guest columnist, stand-up comic, filmmaker, and one of the meanest Twitter people ever, Nick Searcy is a unique voice of common sense in today's culture.

  Welcome to The Garden!  
  This is a place for flowers and light, bud and bloom. Just beware of what’s beneath the dirt, or scurrying in the dark. Here, 15 writers unpick the tapestry of life, death and regrowth in fantastical tales. This is a place where fruit may carry the rot of broken bonds, where flowers carry the burden of life and loss, hands reach out from the roots and teeth gnash their own way out… And ancient visitors might borrow the familiar shape of wolf & rabbit, fox & crow. 
  Stories by Ellie Allan, Ella Barron Carton, Finola Cahill, Lyndsey Croal, Steve Denehan, Sofie De Smyter, Marisol Karcs, Grace Kully, Shane Larkin, Sean Michael, Bryan Miller, Claire Oleson, C.T. O’Mahony, Briá Purdy and Dorian Rose. Edited by Paula Dias Garcia, Sam Agar, Marc Clohessy and Aran Kelly.

  England in the time of his boyhood was a cold and colourless country.They had seen to that, the Autumn Men.They who had been lifted high, the old men of his country and other countries, who in the autumn of their years, reflecting on the unfulfilled promise of their youth, and their failures as yet unredeemed, feeling as any old man adrift alone on a small boat, sails broken, oars lost, swept hopelessly onward towards the deafening roar of the approaching weir, might feel, decided that too few had sweetly and honourably been called.So call out the young men, wide-eyed and brave of heart, to don uniform, bid sweethearts farewell and forfeit their future.And murder in the name of God.Until they too are harvested 'neath the Autumn Men's sickle.And the lark song is stilled as passing bells are heard anew.------------No longer could the innocent look to the heavens for salvation, only look on in horror as the devil poured the contents of hell over them.And so it was and so it remained until Satan, who had found refuge in the hearts of too many, was cast out and the women had cried.."enough!!"----------And on countless memorials in towns and villages across the cold and colourless country, new names were added to the old and memorials once again were baptised with tears of the innocent for the innocent. And in the great city as the weak winter sunshine filters through the mists of an early November morning, the Autumn Men in their black coats and polished shoes still stand, shameless, in solemn line to bow their heads and lay poppy-lit wreaths, mankind's apology to its youth.----------This then was the wasteland of his boyhood. One from which he would spend the rest of his life trying to escape.

  One dark and stormy winter night, outside his remote New England farmhouse, Hal Borland heard howling. At the door were a half-starved black-and-white mutt and his puppy companion. While reluctant to welcome these uninvited guests into their home, Hal and his wife gave them refuge, finally naming them Pat and Mike. When a local boy lost his dog, and the Borland's gave Mike to him, Pat's strong personality blossomed, and he becomes a treasured companion and member of the family. 
   
   
   
  Accompanying Hal on hunts (and himself proving a formidable threat to local wildlife), Pat is the ideal touchstone for insights into the natural world. The Borlands learn valuable lessons from Pat—trust, relationships, and harmony with nature—the same values that led their move from city to country. Through this process, they develop a deeper appreciation for the place they call home. The Dog Who Came to Stay is a first-rate memoir detailing the immeasurable bond between humans and their beloved companions. With touching insight and wry humor free from sentimentality, it's a compelling tale for all ages!
