Hiraeth
None
Hiraeth
Hiraeth is a Welsh word or homesickness, or nostalgia, an earnest longing or desire, or a sense of regret. 'Hiraeth - A home that never was' by Mansi Narula Kashyap is a collection of poetry and prose about a home that the author believes does not exist in the real world but still cast a shadow or instil a sense of belongingness towards the same. Each poem will enhance the reader's imagination, coaxing them to understand the depth of a home that never was. "For just a moment, my heart believes. The home that never was, Still makes me homesick. I do not even remember when we started building it brick by brick? The thieves have come and robbed us of all that we had, Trust, loyalty and love are now just in twisted weaves."
Western Solstice
"Leonore Wilson's Western Solstice contains poems that spring whole and marvelous, shimmering from the earth. Born from a profound, wide-ranging, original and feminine mind, they bewitch the reader with a lush, passionate voice that is 'all impulse of towards' and a tensile form that is as breathtaking as its content. This book is a true treasure." --Cathy Colman, author of Borrowed Dress and Beauty's Tattoo
Note to Self
"Jamie K. Reaser is a rare bird, indeed: a mystic naturalist, a gifted poet, and a virtuoso guide to soul. With the Siren song of her seductive verse, this chthonic critter will grab you by the ankles and draw you down toward the ecstatic and terrifying mysteries of the one life you can call your own, your one true gift for this breaking world." --Bill Plotkin, Ph.D., Author of Soulcraft: Crossing into the Mysteries of Nature and Psyche and Nature and the Human Soul
Estuaries
The poems in this book are an attempt to speak in a common tongue with mountains, rivers, and forests. Too often poetry is thought of as the domain of human creativity with its source in the depths of the imagination. We use it to speak of the world, but not to the non-??human world--let alone with it. The poems in Estuaries suggest that speech and poetry are fundamentally rooted in the ecosystem--the detritus of fallen leaves, the curvature of a river bend, and the sound of rain on a heron's wings. All of this might be regarded as the speech of the Earth. When we speak or write poetry that engages these voices we become participant in the patterns of the watershed.
Cosmosophia
"Richards writes skillfully and soulfully about the most pressing issues of our times, and the deeper crisis out of which they have emerged. Drawing from a vast trove of knowledge about the world's religious, mystical, and philosophical traditions, he extracts the most valuable gems, polishes them with the revolutionary insights of modern science, and forges a radiant, new cosmosophy--a universal wisdom that honors the wisdom of the universe. The beauty of this mythos is that it, like the cosmos, is not static but dynamic, inviting our active participation and imaginative engagement.This book succeeds in instilling reverence for a living universe and hope for a dying planet. May Cosmosophia blossom and flourish in the hearts of all beings!" --Darrin Drda, author of The Four Global Truths
Hiraeth
In early 1939, a twenty-year-old man quits the university he is attending after near completion and boards a freighter out of San Francisco to travel the world—starting with the South Pacific and then, to beyond. War is looming and by beginning of the next year, he is in Egypt; joining the Kiwi army in Cairo as a newly minted lieutenant. From there it is the North Africa Campaign New Zealand Second Division’s Expeditionary Force against the forces of Rommel; operating with the legendary LRDG and the SAS as a driver and gunner.
Written River Issue #10
Written River is a literary journal published by Hiraeth Press, which focuses on poetry and non-fiction prose exploring nature and our relationship to it. Published as an annual anthology, we strive to encourage the discipline of eco-poetics and return the voice of the poet to the body of the Earth. Eco-poetics is poetry in which the energy of the ecosystem flows through the poem, creating a written river of words which ebbs with the creativity of the entire Earth community. Written River marks the confluence of many streams and many voices as they flow back into the nourishing ground of the watershed."
Border Crossings
"The International Appalachian Trail runs north from Mount Katahdin seven hundred miles to the end of the Gaspé Peninsula. Inspired by Basho, Ian Marshall hiked it for six summers, probing the poetics of haiku while exploring a vast and beautiful wilderness little known in the US. Marshall is an engaging trail companion and a superb story teller, with a self deprecating wit and sharp intellect that spice up his observations and ideas. Like Basho, he finds the miraculous in the common and elevates the humble walk into a spiritual practice, sprinkling his narrative with lovely original haiku that seem to have condensed in the moment, like droplets of dew. Backpackers will appreciate his pungent descriptions of life on the trail, and ecocritics will savor his abundant insights on poetry, nature, and culture. This lively book serves up a classic blend of high adventure, literary pilgrimage, and self discovery. It tastes as tart and fresh as wild raspberries."--John Tallmadge, past-president of the Association for the Study of Literature and Environment and author of The Cincinnati Arch: Learning from Nature in the City
