Your Mythic Journey
We all tell stories about who we are, where we come from, and where we are going. These personal myths in turn shape who we become and what we believe—as individuals, families, and nations. This book offers readers the tools to detect the story line in their own lives and to write and tell it to others, opening up a hidden world of self-discovery and meaning. The numerous accessible exercises are followed by examples of personal stories and inspiring quotes to stimulate the journey to the center of one's purpose. "By the art of fantasy and imagination, story and image, these authors map the ways personal stories deepen into transpersonal mythic journeys." —David Miller, Ph.D., Watson-Ledden Professor of Religion, Syracuse University

Point of No Return
. . . Where is the point of no return? No one sees it coming or can tell you when. When love reaches a point of no return, how does one respond to a fractured landscape and its tumbling uncertainties? In this poetic cycle, respected New Mexico writer Anne Valley-Fox looks for clues to the meaning of intimacy and the provenance of corruption. ("What made you blind? Why did you woo oblivion?") In language by turns raucous, wry, tender and tough, these incisive narratives find voice in the mythology of the ordinary. The poems are sure, masterful, but not mere expositions of craft--they are made of passion and a willingness to risk. Her work resonates with a depth of metaphor that startles, deli...

Nightfall
Poetry. California Interest. NIGHTFALL is a collection of vivid poems from an American poet in her seventh decade. Anne Valley-Fox sets out to investigate personal issues of aging, loss, and regeneration of spirit. Introspective poems are matched with intense evocations of the external world's beauty and cruelty. These are intimate meditations: Valley- Fox invites the reader to lean in close as she "sorts through the wreckage," "bows to the morning," waits for a song "on the wave of your next breath." A number of poems evoke the dazzling work of other writers, as if to say: here's how language, deeply imagined, sets us free. Valley-Fox's signature voice is tough and tender, sensuous and exac...
Ins and Outs of the Forest Rivers
Nathaniel Tarn's newest collection of poems, Ins and Outs of the Forest Rivers, dives deep into the spiritual and physical sufferings of our global age. After a moving overture, the book unfolds in five sections: "Of the Perfected Angels," with its lucid meditation on Issenheim altarpiece by Matthias Grünewald; "Dying Trees," written out of the horrible loss of hundreds of thousands of trees throughout the American West in recent years; "War Stills," an engagement with the ongoing atrocities in Iraq; "Movement / North of the Java Sea," taking flight from Maui to Bali to Papua New Guinea; and the final section "Sarawak," snaking its way through the river and indigenous anguish of Borneo, where Tarn as poet-anthropologist surveyed the loss of forest lands and its effects on tribal peoples.
