Reimagine
In Reimagine, Richard Lee Harris's first collection of poetry, he leads others on a personal journey from Alaska to the cafes of Seville while recreating the richness of the world around him. With the hope that others will experience life's most memorable moments through his eyes first and then their own, Harris shares his reflections on the uniqueness of ordinary experiences, the relationship of those moments to his natural world, and the impression these memories left with him. From "Arctic White" where "Tundra falls into Beaufort Sea, snow dissolves, translucent in ascendant sun," to "Child of the Desert" where "Specks of shade in a solar sea cast their patterned light over an infant sleeping in a hammock gently rocked by grandmother sitting docile in her cobbled chair," Harris couples beautiful imagery with lyrical verse to tell a relatable and emotional story. ..". Richard Lee Harris invites us to reimagine events that are part of a rich life and introduces us to environments where we can wander, appreciating the elegance of nature along with the clash of cultures ..." -Jim Milstead, PhD (ret.), Poet and Memoirist, University of California-Berkeley"

Persistence of Light
John Hoyte was a student at Cambridge University who realized one day that a grant he might get could provide an interesting and unusual summer vacation. And thus was born the idea of leading an elephant over the Alps via the trails, paths, and mountain passes taken by Hannibal with his army and war elephants in 218 B.C to do battle with the Roman empire. Hoyte’s successful mission, with an elephant named Jumbo on loan from the Turin zoo, became a media sensation, leading to international coverage and starting him on the way to a fifty-year career as an inventor and entrepreneur in Silicon Valley. Hoyte’s story is a fascinating one, beginning with the six years of his childhood spent in a Japanese internment camp in China during World War II. Throughout the years that followed, he has taken each surprising twist and turn of fate and used it to help build a life infused with purpose, creativity and fulfillment.

I Heard God Laughing
From bestselling poet Daniel Ladinsky, a rich collection that brings the great Sufi poet Hafiz to Western readers To Persians, the poems of Hafiz are not “classical literature” from a remote past but cherished wisdom from a dear and intimate friend that continues to be quoted in daily life. With uncanny insight, Hafiz captures the many forms and stages of love. His poetry outlines the stages of the mystic's “path of love”—a journey in which love dissolves personal boundaries and limitations to join larger processes of growth and transformation. With this stunning collection, Ladinsky has succeeded brilliantly in capturing the essence of one of Islam’s greatest poetic and spiritual voices. “If you haven’t yet had the delight of dining with Daniel Ladinsky’s sweet, playful renderings of the musings of the great saints, I Heard God Laughing is a perfect appetizer. . . . This newly released edition of his first playful foray into Hafiz’s divinely inspired poetry is essential reading. . . . Ladinsky is a master who will be remembered for finally bringing Hafiz alive in the West.” —Alexandra Marks, The Christian Science Monitor
