Book Description
The poems in Help in the Dark Season expose lessons of adult and childhood trauma, relationship joys and failures, and the all-around hard work of true togetherness. Help in the Dark Season explores the pathway of human love as it begins in the dark, moves into parental hands, transfers into to experiments of the heart, grows, breaks, and ultimately transforms us more than any other experience we withstand. Each poem walks us into Jacqueline Suskin’s world, where dreams and sacred visions are just as important as reality, where planet earth is an active character and spouse, and every attempt at love adds up as wisdom worth remembering. There are so many ways for us to access love; these poems map this personal process, uncovering the helpful tools and healing realizations that Suskin has gathered while conjuring up and relentlessly believing in love. Even when it hurts us the most and causes the worst confusion, even when it’s laughable and foolish, these poems aim to provide proof that human connection is crucial and always worth the risk.

Pages : 442
Book Description
In every world there are the players; listeners, doers and sayers. They are those who define their world as they build and destroy civilizations.Yet there are other, more mysterious, players who have lived across the ages ... undetected. Those are the watchers and takers.In the world of Talor they are called the Genn. They have seen things that were veiled from everyone else and were the silent witnesses of the greatest mysteries of their world. Then, in their hands, forsaken legacies and wasted chances finally reside. Whenever something is deemed "lost" or "gone" it lies secured in the genn's vaults. Genn are the greatest treasure hunters, assassins and hit-men in all the worlds of men.Few know about their existence. Stories are woven and myths blossom around them. Yet there is a side to the genn that no one foresaw.A wise genn once said: "Indeed we are takers, but we are a different type of takers. As we dwell on the fringes of lives which are not our own, lives we added nothing to, we tend to be the ones who appreciate them the most. What we collect are memories that are not ours, and then, alone, in the dark recesses of our cold lairs, we gaze upon our treasure. Night after night we watch those legacies as if by taking them we can be part of their story, and they can become part of ours. The purpose of our existence, my dear prot�g�s, remains veiled."At the top of genn society is the Order of Sever, powerful and enigmatic. Very few are left in that ancient order at the time of our story but the greatest of them still lingers on... his name is Nymtha.What he and his kin have seen would fill thousands of books. But regardless of this fact, he doesn't realize that the greatest chapter of his life is yet to be written, when all the secrets Talor kept to itself for thousands of years are revealed... right before his eyes.At the turn of the tide, when Talor changes forever, Nymtha gets his hand on the most coveted treasure. A treasure man long lost hope of finding. Now he is forced to make the choice every genn fears to face. After millennia in the dark he might be forced to run into the light ... onto history's stage.NOTE: This saga is not just about magic and fantasy. In there you will cross the borders which separates fiction from logic, rage from reason, apathy and compassion as well as those separating hope and despair. You will cross those borders many times as you gradually unveil the greatest of Talor's mysteries. You will find out that those mysteries are not that different from our own.In this story you may find the answer to the most important question of all: Is it worth the fight?

Dark Summit
Author: Nick Heil
Publisher: Vintage Canada
ISBN: 030736951X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
In the tradition of Jon Krakauer’s Into Thin Air, Nick Heil recounts the harrowing story of the deadly and controversial 2006 climbing season on Everest. In early May 2006, a young British climber named David Sharp lay dying near the top of Mount Everest while forty other climbers walked past him on their way to the summit. A week later, Lincoln Hall, a seasoned Australian climber, was left for dead near the same spot. Hall’s death was reported around the world, but the next day he was found alive after spending the night on the upper mountain with no food and no shelter. If David Sharp’s death was shocking, it was not singular: despite unusually good weather, ten others died attempting to reach the summit that year. In this meticulous inquiry into what went wrong, Nick Heil tells the full story of the deadliest year on Everest since the infamous season of 1996. He introduces Russell Brice, the outfitter who has done more than anyone to provide access to the summit via the mountain’s north side–and who some believe was partially responsible for Sharp’s death. As more climbers attempt the summit each year, Heil shows how increasingly risky expeditions and unscrupulous outfitters threaten to turn Everest into a deadly circus. Written by an experienced climber and outdoor writer, Dark Summit is both a riveting account of a notorious climbing season and a troubling investigation into whether the pursuit of the ultimate mountaineering prize has spiralled out of control.

In a North Carolina winter, new vistas appear through the bare trees. For Elizabeth Goodweather of Full Circle Farm, still a newcomer after more than twenty years, one terrible glimpse ignites a mystery that reaches back years into these hills, drawing together dozens of seemingly unconnected lives.

Her land is at the center of multiple mysteries, ranging from a suspicious death to the brutal rape of a young woman to the legend of a handsome youth hanged for murder. But with Nola recovering from her self-inflicted wounds, Elizabeth has inherited her mad, violent drama—while a killer has a perfect view of it all.…

Hurricane Season
Author: Fernanda Melchor
Publisher: New Directions Publishing
ISBN: 0811228045
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
The English-language debut of one of the most thrilling and accomplished young Mexican writers Winner of the Queen Sofía Spanish Institute's Tanslation Prize Longlisted for the National Book Award Shortlisted for the Booker Prize Winner of the Internationaler Literaturpreis New York Public Library Best Books of 2020 Chicago Public Library Best Book of 2020 The Witch is dead. And the discovery of her corpse has the whole village investigating the murder. As the novel unfolds in a dazzling linguistic torrent, with each unreliable narrator lingering on new details, new acts of depravity or brutality, Melchor extracts some tiny shred of humanity from these characters—inners whom most people would write off as irredeemable—forming a lasting portrait of a damned Mexican village. Like Roberto Bolaño’s 2666 or Faulkner’s novels, Hurricane Season takes place in a world saturated with mythology and violence—real violence, the kind that seeps into the soil, poisoning everything around: it’s a world that becomes more and more terrifying the deeper you explore it.
