The Arakaki Permutations
Poems influenced by poet's practice in Okinawan Karate.
Playing the Form
Poetry. In PLAYING THE FORM, James Maughn continues his exploration of the intersections between poetry and martial arts. This is a poetry of haptic resonance, built around the three sections of the Yang Family Tai Chi long form, and grounded in daily lived practice of poetry and Tai Chi. PLAYING THE FORM engages with form as dynamic process, and seeks new ways to engage in and with the world that are at once fluid and solid, playful and political, deeply rooted and always in motion. "Intriguing, playful, and illuminating, PLAYING THE FORM comes out of the dual daily practice of writing and martial arts. With a steady intensity, the poems explore how we navigate and are shaped by external forces--time and gravity but also architecture, habitat destruction and the free market. In dialogic structures, serial forms, and witty word play, this collection creates a wonderfully expansive approach to poetics and is a joy to read."--Judy Halebsky

How We Give Now
From Go Fund Me to philanthropy: the everyday ways that we can give our money, our time, and even our data to help our communities and seek justice. In How We Give Now, Lucy Bernholz shows that philanthropy is more than writing a check and claiming a tax deduction. For most of us--the non-wealthy givers--philanthropy can be a way of living our values and fully participating in society. We give in all kinds of ways--shopping at certain businesses, canvassing for candidates, donating money, and making conscious choices with our retirement funds. We give our cash, our time, and even our data to make the world a better place. Bernholz takes readers on a tour of the often-overlooked worlds of par...
Knowing Otherwise
Prejudice is often not a conscious attitude: because of ingrained habits in relating to the world, one may act in prejudiced ways toward others without explicitly understanding the meaning of one’s actions. Similarly, one may know how to do certain things, like ride a bicycle, without being able to articulate in words what that knowledge is. These are examples of what Alexis Shotwell discusses in Knowing Otherwise as phenomena of “implicit understanding.” Presenting a systematic analysis of this concept, she highlights how this kind of understanding may be used to ground positive political and social change, such as combating racism in its less overt and more deep-rooted forms.

Kata
Poetry. "Robert Creeley wrote about poems that make rites of passage actual, poems that speak a primary language. In KATA, James Maughn speaks a primary language. He is inventing a world--and this beautiful book enacts a wry and patient intelligence, embodies physical grace. In these lines you will hear fullness of representation, and a luminous consciousness"--Joseph Lease. "James Maughn's visionary book embodies the Zen bone-dance of the world, disassembling and reassembling itself through perpetual ruin and renewal, as 'fire/balancing/at the break.' As in a Karate forms sequence, where the end of one movement and the beginning of the next are indistinguishable, here words transfer their energies as hinge joints, pivots, holding and releasing to achieve Maughn's rhapsodic language of motion--of the flight of Zeno's arrow or lion leaping a chasm--motion inseparable from the forms it inhabits. These poems are as disciplined as the katas which inspired them, and likewise as spontaneous and free, 'an orchestra of glasswork birds set on gears'--a remarkable accomplishment!"--Chad Sweeney.
