Circles & Boundaries
Literary Nonfiction. Cultural Studies. "Although the prevailing winds of thought continually warn and admonish us about the unreliability of narratives and narrators and the need to distrust them, all of the texts collected here are stories, in one form or another. But, very importantly, they are also stories about stories that never give up this very basic and ancient rite of passage, in which any story is, at the very least, also a commentary about itself. What had been a very deep conflict ('if the poetry comes out in a variety of forms, there is always certain punishment for the betrayal of one form by another, ' as Morgan once wrote) finds resolution in the range and variety of the writing gathered here: stories, fable like pieces, fieldwork, anthropological investigation, literary criticism, scholarly research, reportage, and poetry" from the afterword by Ammiel Alcalay."
Exploring Body-Mind Centering
Exploring Body-Mind Centering features 35 essays on Body-Mind Centering (BMC), an experiential practice based on the application of anatomical, physiological, psychophysical, and developmental principles. Using the work of BMC founder Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen as a springboard, the book showcases diverse situations—from medical illness to blocked creativity—in which this discipline is applied with transformative results. Exploring Body-Mind Centering is divided into three sections, preceded by an introduction framing BMC as a pathway to becoming aware of relationships that exist throughout the body and mind and using that awareness to act. The first section lays the groundwork for this process, with real-life experiences and exercises that encourage readers to interact with the text. Section two contains valuable case stories describing the experiences of BMC students and practitioners as they work with clients. Section three shows how BMC can be integrated with other disciplines and practices that include the arts, medicine, and yoga. The book concludes with a biography of Cohen, a profile of the School for Body-Mind Centering, and a history of BMC.

Lost & Found
"Originally composed to prepare a lecture delivered at the New College of California in 1984, di Prima's notes, "Prometheus Unbound as a Magickal Working," begins with the claim that Percy Bysshe Shelley's 1819 lyrical drama Prometheus Unbound is " ... a magical ritual to be performed in the mind's eye, or more accurately, in the realm of the Imagination." Di Prima walks readers through each act of Prometheus Unbound--its plot, characters, mythological meaning, and the music of its language--revealing how the play functions to let us "envision ... the new order we seek to bring about." These notes bridge di Prima's investigations into Romantic poetry with her extensive knowledge of alchemical and hermetic traditions, while giving us a glimpse into the unique process of her thinking about poetics. She emphasizes the importance of approaching poetry as something that can transform one's mind in an actively and literally magical way, positioning Shelley as a poet uniquely capable of communicating the means for this transformation."--Supplied by publisher
