Zoro's Field
After a long absence from his native southern Appalachians, Thomas Rain Crowe returned to live alone deep in the North Carolina woods. This is Crowe’s chronicle of that time when, for four years, he survived by his own hand without electricity, plumbing, modern-day transportation, or regular income. It is a Walden for today, paced to nature’s rhythms and cycles and filled with a wisdom one gains only through the pursuit of a consciously simple, spiritual, environmentally responsible life. Crowe made his home in a small cabin he had helped to build years before—at a restless age when he could not have imagined that the place would one day call him back. The cabin sat on what was once th...
Drunk on the Wine of the Beloved
The Persian Sufi poet Hafiz (1326–1390) is a towering figure in Islamic literature—and in spiritual attainment as well. Known for his profound mystical wisdom combined with a sublime sensuousness, Hafiz was the supreme master of a poetic form known as the ghazal (pronounced "guzzle"), an ode or song consisting of rhymed couplets celebrating divine love. In this selection of his poems, wine and the intoxication it brings are the image that expresses this love in all its joyful abandon, painful longing, bewilderment, and surrender. Through ninety-five free-verse renditions, we gain entry into the mystical world of Hafiz's Winehouse, with its happy minstrels, its bewitching Winebringer, and its companions in drunken longing whose hearts cry out, "More wine!" Thomas Rain Crowe brings a new dimension to our growing appreciation of Hafiz and his wise drunkard's advice to the seekers of God: In this world of illusion, take nothing other than this cup of wine; In this playhouse, don't play any games but love.
Firsts
Fiction. In FIRSTS, Thomas Crowe writes in the long-standing German literary genre of the Bildungsroman (education through experience). In this linked-stories, coming-of-age book of auto-biographical fiction, we see and hear echoes of great writers in this tradition, such as Goethe, Joyce, Novalis, Dickens and Thomas Mann. Crowe's "girls" are what has formed him, and we follow him from place to place, room to room in these sensitive and engaging love stories, all of which have an unusual and unique twist.

The Saint in the Cellar
Poetry. Translated from the Marathi by S.A. Virkar. From out of India and the Marathi language, and through the eyes and ears of translator S.A. Virkar, comes the poetry of one of Asia's finest and most celebrated 20th century writers -- to America's shores and the rest of the English-speaking world. Kusumagraj is a recipient of his country's most prestigious literary prize, the Jnanpith Award, for outstanding contribution to Indian literature, and his selected poems are a look into a literary career spanning fifty years as the political and cultural conscience of the Maharashtra peoples and their Marathi language. "To keep one's poetic fire for over fifty years is given to few. Not to show off is given to fewer. Kusamaraj is one of this rare minority"--Lokrajya Review.

In Original Thinking, Glenn Aparicio Parry delves into the evolution of Western thought to recover the living roots of wisdom that can correct the imbalances in our modern worldview.

Asking questions such as, Is it possible to come up with an original thought?, What does it mean to be human?, and How has our thinking created our world today?, Parry challenges us to consider many of our most basic assumptions. To think originally--as in thinking new thoughts ...
