Like the crows he describes in one of his witty, wry poems, John J. Ronan casts "a cold eye on life, on death." These edgy, intelligent poems brim with emotion without ever nearing the sentimental. Ronan revels in life and laments inevitable time, but does not wallow. An Irish American steeped in dark joy, Ronan reveals roots in Yeats, Heaney, Mahon and others. "To exist and then not to exist--it's a raw sort of humor," he writes. In his work we see both the raw surface and always, always the humor. These poems are a joy to read.

Champion snowboarder, Lacey Moon, has lost her love of the sport, couldn't care less about winning another gold medal, and has no idea who she is anymore. Desperate to find a way out of the vicious cycle sucking her into obscurity, she disguises her identity, flees the familiarity of home, and strikes out on the open road, following her intuition until she reaches Hope Falls, Idaho. Former football star, Scott McCord, has lived in Hope Falls since high school and runs McCord Cabin Rentals with his brother. Having suffered deception at the hands of his first love, Scott has abandoned hope of ever finding a woman to share his life with, choosing to devote his attention on his daughter instead. When Lacey's path crosses Scott's, fireworks fly. For the first time in ten years, Scott can see himself falling in love again. And the more time Lacey spends with the Scott, the more she realizes he is her future. There's just one problem. Lacey hasn't told Scott her true identity. When the truth comes out, she could lose everything she hoped to find in Hope Falls.
She forgot how to hate, and now she's learning how to love... Brain-damaged Nia Beaudine can't remember her life before The Accident. Someone intentionally ran over her and left her for dead. Now she's living in the 'witch's house' she inherited in the village of Miracle, relearning how to live on her own. Well, almost on her own - the talking cat helping her cope is a bonus. But when a hate-filled family member shows up with a gun, Nia knows she needs real help. Former Army Sergeant and PTSD sufferer Rob Ackerman regularly covers for his identical twin, the village constable, and answers Nia's emergency call. This strange young woman immediately sees he's not his brother. In return, he sees that the only way she can fully live in her new life is to find out why someone in her old life tried to kill her...and might try again. As they dig up Nia's past, the attraction between them grows. Their brains may be damaged, but their bodies and hearts are working just fine.

Rose Wilder Lane, daughter of Laura Ingalls Wilder, wrote a column titled "Rose Lane Says" from 1942 to 1945 for the Pittsburgh Courier, the largest circulating African American newspaper of the era. Her columns took on issues of race, equality, and liberty, offering deep analyses of themes also explored in her 1943 book, The Discovery of Freedom. The Pittsburgh Courier's vast circulation brought Lane's understanding of individual liberty to hundreds of thousands of readers. While Lane's writings and role as a collaborator on her mother's Little House books have garnered substantial attention of late, her columns for the Pittsburgh Courier, as well as her broader comments about and relationships with African Americans and civil rights, have not received their due. Her background in the rural Midwest was crucial in influencing the content of her individualist antiracism. Lane's writings at the Courier represented the most ambitious effort of any author during this period to promote laissez faire ideas to a black audience. Through her columns, Lane creatively linked her philosophical beliefs to issues of concern to her readers, including segregation, civil disobedience, entrepreneurship, and the struggle for liberty both overseas and at home.In Rose Lane Says, editors David T. Beito and Marcus Witcher provide annotations and an excellent introduction to Lane's columns, which until now have been next to impossible to locate. This volume includes eighty-four columns, in print for the first time since their original runs in the 1940s.

‘Patio, channel of sky/The patio is the window/Through which God watches souls/The patio is the slope/Down which the sky follows into the house/Serene’ - Jorge Luis Borges Bedmar & Shi’s Chancery Lane is the apotheosis of their ongoing interaction with a new language of tropical residential architecture. Evocative of the simple, open structures of time’s past, yet possessed of a modernity of spirit perfectly in keeping with contemporary life. Set around an open courtyard space, with a series of demarcated private abodes, Chancery Lane perfectly embodies the tenets of personal privacy heightened and brought together through shared experience. Subtle and serene, this is a residence borne of a coalescence between the environmental, the aesthetic, and the spatial. A true gem.
