Book Description
Islands, some of Grenier's most lovingly written and personal philosophical speculations, was first published in an edition of five essays in 1933. The revised edition, with six essays, was published with a preface by Albert Camus in 1948; the third edition, upon which this translation is based, was published in 1959. Grenier's memoir of his cat Mouloud is also an essay on the nature of death; a series of childhood memories becomes the basis for an essay on his attraction to the void. Everything is connected, as one idea leads to an- other, from author to reader to society at large.

Book Description
The fifth volume of this acclaimed anthology features the work of innovative poets of southern California. This gathering of 28 poets does not write a particular 'kind' of poetry, but as individuals they have worked together through a series of intersecting ideas and interests to create some of the best writing of contemporary poetry, contradicting many of the simplistic notions of people outside of the region.

Book Description
For years the noted author and founded-publisher of Sun & Moon Press and Green Integer has been spurred by fellow writers and friends to write his memoirs. But Messerli argues that he does not have the sensibility to write only about his personal experiences, since his life has been primarily defined by cultural encounters - thus this annual collection of essays on these experiences as well as the hundreds of notable figures with whom he has had friendships and working relationships. The 2005 volume includes Paul Auster, Robert Creeley and John O'Keefe, among others.

Book Description
Translated from the Norwegian by James Anderson. In the months of September and October 1833 a young Englishman known as Don Carlos finds himself in Buenos Aires. There he meets a casual labourer, Giovanni Graciani, from Genoa, Italy. These two short penetrating novels recount Giovanni's abandonment of faith, the political upheavals and bloody events of Argentine history, and his encounter with the man he calls Don Carlos - who in reality is Charles Robert Darwin, on a voyage that will change forever the way man perceives his world.
