The Tears of Things
In an interview with Krista Tippett, host of "On Being," poet Mary Oliver reflected on finding solace in nature: "I got saved by the beauty of the world." Processing broken relationships, clinical depression, and the loss of her parents, Catherine Hamrick embraced Oliver's statement and the therapeutic value of exploring nature and poetry. This collection charts her movement through middle age and landscapes in the Midwest and Deep South. Seamus Heaney's interpretation of The Aeneid's famous line sunt lacrimae rerum-"there are tears at the heart of things"-underpins Hamrick's sensibility. Observing seasonal flourishes and decay reminds us that love, joy, longing, sorrow, and gratitude arise from life's imperfection and brevity.
Through Loving Words
In the second volume of Through Loving Words, each poet recounts the intense emotions of loving deeply and then losing that passionate connection. This collection of poems describes the deeply personal experience that comes with giving your whole heart to someone only to have it be crushed, leaving you feeling utterly broken and alone. But, losing a love does not always mean depression and despair. Some use heartbreak as a catalyst to learn and grow, resulting in an even greater love. For those who have nursed a broken heart, this collection of poems will surely resonate. After all, Alfred Lord Tennyson said it best when he quipped "'tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." Romantic regret can be hard to handle, but if you can learn from it and allow it to shape how you approach future relationships, you'll undoubtedly experience greater love in the future.

Summary Catalogue of European Decorative Arts in the J. Paul Getty Museum
J. Paul Getty had a passion for the exquisitely made furniture and decorative objects of eighteenth-century France, which he began collecting in the 1930s. Gillian Wilson, curator of decorative arts since 1971, has broadened and strengthened the collection, adding Boulle furniture, mounted oriental porcelain, tapestries, clocks, ceramics, and more. In the 1980s and 1990s the Museum continued to enlarge its decorative arts holdings, creating a European sculpture department in 1984 and adding glass, maiolica, goldsmiths’ work, pietre dure, and furniture from Italy and Northern Europe. This book is a revised and expanded edition of Decorative Arts: An Illustrated Summary Catalogue of the Collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum (1993). In addition to more than forty recent acquisitions—among these four wall sconces from Versailles that once belonged to Marie Antoinette and an elaborate upholstered bed from the collection of Karl Lagerfeld—it includes the results of years of research. Designed for scholars, students, and devotees of the decorative arts, this volume provides a comprehensive look at the Getty's fine collection.
