Anne Carson’s works re-think genre in some of the most unusual and nuanced ways that few writers ever attempt, from her lyric essays, enigmatic poems, and novels in verse to further forays into video and comics and collaborative performance. Carson’s pathbreaking translations of Ancient Greek poetry and drama, as well as her scholarship on everything from Sappho to Celan, only continue to demonstrate the unique vision she has for what’s possible for a work of literature to become.Anne Carson: Ecstatic Lyre is the first book of essays dedicated to the breadth of Anne Carson’s works, individually, spanning from Eros the Bittersweet through Red Doc. With contributions from Kazim Ali, Dan Beachy-Quick, Julie Carr, Harmony Holiday, Cole Swensen, Eleni Sikelianos, and many others (including translators, poets, essayists, scholars, novelists, critics, and collaborators themselves), we learn from Carson’s greatest admirers and closest readers about the books that moved and inspired them.

Drawing from the paintings of Susan Rothenberg, Gwyneth Scally, and Eric Fischl as well as from the photography of Allison Maletz, Joshua Marie Wilkinson's ""Lug Your Careless Body out of the Careful Dusk"" is a book-length poem written in small fragments. Comprised of seven sections, the poem is formed as much by the poet's travels through Turkey, the Baltics, and Eastern Europe as it is by the movies of Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Krzysztof Kieslowski, and Bill Morrison. The painters Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud are here alongside whispers of Emily Dickinson and Wallace Stevens. ""Lug Your Careless Body out of the Careful Dusk"" is a book of cinematic images and fragments, of small stories overheard and quickly abandoned, of hidden letters and phone booths, and of ghosts who return with questions. Born and raised in Seattle's Haller Lake neighborhood, Joshua Marie Wilkinson is the author of one other book of poetry, ""Suspension of a Secret in Abandoned Rooms"", and the chapbook ""A Ghost as King of the Rabbits"". He holds an MFA from the University of Arizona and an MA in film studies from University College Dublin. Presently he lives in Denver, Colorado, where he is pursuing his doctorate in English and creative writing and completing his first film.

To say Harry Stables's life has hit a bit of a low patch lately is an understatement. In his mid-20s, he's been kicked out of his MFA program for fighting, his ex-girlfriend turned down his spur-of-the-moment marriage proposal, and he's spent the last ten days in his dad's falling-down Montana fishing cabin with his dog Greta trying to find out how his mother really died when he was a baby, something his father - now dying himself of cancer - has refused to tell either him or his sister their whole lives. On top of all this, he's just been to a party outside Missoula where he received a nasty dog bite and where he may have been an accessory to a fatal shooting. Ignoring the advice of both his sister and Calvin Hogan - fishing guide, old friend of his father's, and companion to the lovable mutt Herkimer - Harry first tries to untangle the details of the shooting himself and eventually winds up on the lam, pursued by persecutors both real and imagined. As the cops and the accumulated psychic weight of his actions bears down on him, Harry must ultimately reckon with what sort of man he will be.

As the cops and the accumulated psychic weight of his actions bears down on him, Harry must ultimately reckon with what sort of man he will be. According to George Saunders, "literature is a form of fondness-for-life. It is love for life taking verbal form" and so it is with Trouble Finds You, a modern-day Portis-like quixotic road trip replete with stumbling beauty and searing folly. Set against the beauty of the American West, this is a novel of many colors: a thriller, a mystery, a coming-of-age story, and a family drama. It is populated with characters - these men and their excellent dogs - who are sometimes frustrating, frequently stupid, often funny, but always full of life. Harry Stables bears more than a passing resemblance to the Coen brothers' Llewyn Davis, a lovable curmudgeon committed to a quest of his own design.

Swamp Isthmus takes the stripped, lyric voice of Selenography, the first book of Wilkinson’s No Volta pentalogy, and confronts a pre-apocalyptic vision of American urban life. Here, the city and forest are one, as are the river and sewer. The ghost and the body are one, and the buildings and the trees, the sidewalks and the switchbacks all fuse. The poems in Swamp Isthmus create the flipside of the pastoral—the urban returns to the rural, their fates inseparable. In this broken, scattered world that still finds a way to be playful and imploring, there is no respite in the trees and streams and no turning back on nostalgia for either nature or the city. Though the second installment of the larger pentalogy, Swamp Isthmus stands alone, archiving and organizing, rehearsing words to hold in the mouth for just that moment.

The follow-up to Swamp Isthmus, and the fourth book in the No Volta pentalogy, Meadow Slasher is a powerful and engaging split from Joshua Marie Wilkinson’s earlier work. All of the books in the pentalogy are connected through shared ideas, stories, characters, and settings, but they are also independent and unique in their voice and approach. Meadow Slasher is a meditation on violence and self, and it maps out the intensity of a break down, navigating a shadowy terrain of loss, dread, fear, and exuberance. Drawn from a place of questioning, the end result are poems that are eerie dialogic and unlike anything you’ve encountered from Wilkinson before.

Joshua's Marvelous Adventure with WorldKingThe Tale of a Boy and His DestinyJoshua and his brothers, Nicholas and Liam, were brimming with excitement as they arrived at their Nanny's house for the weekend. The sun was shining brightly, and the allure of the nearby beach was irresistible. As they played and explored, they uncovered an old game console buried in the sand. Its surface was worn, but the gold letters spelling "WorldKing" gleamed invitingly. Intrigued by their find, the boys couldn't wait to retreat to their room that night. The air buzzed with anticipation as Joshua pressed the buttons, testing their functionality. Suddenly, the room seemed to blur, and they found themselves spiralling down a vortex, caught in a whirlwind of colours and light. Their descent into this strange world was disorienting. Nicholas was snatched away by a majestic bird, disappearing into the sky. Liam tumbled into the basket of a hot air balloon, drifting off into the unknown. Joshua, however, landed gently in a land unlike any other he had seen before. The trees were a riot of colours, their leaves shimmering in hues unimaginable to the human eye. As he stood bewildered, a creature approached him. It was like nothing he had ever encountered, with a curious mix of features that defied earthly classification. The creature bowed low and spoke in a reverent tone, "King Joshua, you have arrived." Joshua's heart pounded with a mix of fear and excitement. This was his World, and he was its King. Joshua soon learned that this vibrant land was marred by the presence of the Ghougs who lived in Vanish City.Merkel, the strange creature who had greeted him, became Joshua's steadfast companion. Merkel explained that to restore Vanish City and save his brothers, Joshua had to overcome the wicked Key Master, a formidable foe who held the city captive and controlled the Ghougs. Were the Ghougs really bad or simply under the rulership of the Key Master?Joshua's journey was fraught with challenges. Each step brought him closer to understanding his true potential and the responsibilities that came with being a king. Each challenge he overcame revealed more about the world he was destined to protect. Scientists in the real world had tried to control or destroy the game, fearing its power, but to no avail.Those who had experienced its magic knew that the game was never truly lost. It had a way of finding those destined to enter its world, waiting for the right moment to reveal itself once more.For Joshua, the adventure had changed him forever. He returned to his world with a newfound sense of purpose and wisdom far beyond his years. Joshua's tale captivated his family. Nanny seemed to understand the gravity of his adventure in a way his parents couldn't. There was something in her demeanour, a quiet assurance that spoke volumes. Joshua's curiosity grew with each story he recounted, each tale of WorldKing's magic and the battles he fought. How did Nanny know so much about WorldKing and why did she have Merkel's funny yellow hat?

Framtidens städer måste byggas hållbart enligt FNs hållbarhetsmål. EU ­har därför ­beslutat att vår energi­användning ska minskas med 20 procent till år 2020 och i Sverige förbereds för införande av högre ­krav än så. Vilka hinder och möjligheter finns i den energi­omställning som väntar den svenska bostads­sektorn? Hur ska vi klara en energieffektivisering av exempel­vis miljonprogramsområdena? Urban välfärd, effektiv energi beskriver ett medskapande projekt, ClueE, där forskare deltar i omställningen av bostads­områden i Alingsås, Göteborg och Kungälv. Resultaten visar att energi­effektivisering bör belysas ur olika perspektiv. Den teknik som krävs för att klara en energi­effektivisering finns redan. Men energi­omställning är en komplex process som är beroende av politika beslut, juridisk och ekonomisk kunskap och inte minst samverkan med de boende.

CHURCH PUBLISHING INC

A devotional from a rising TikTok spiritual guide that offers practical exercises to help readers embrace their body, ease their anxiety, and deepen their faith. For much of Christian history, the body—often referred to as “the flesh”—has been associated with sin, weakness, and carnal desire. Many have been taught to view it as a hindrance to spiritual growth, something to tame or transcend. A Tranquil Body offers a radical reclaiming of the body as a sacred instrument of grace. Rooted in the mystery of the Incarnation—God becoming flesh—this guide reminds us that our bodies are not obstacles to holiness, but bridges to it. To worship with your body is not only possible; it is deeply and profoundly Christian. Through guided practices of breath, posture, movement, and stillness, A Tranquil Body helps readers draw closer to God by becoming more fully present in their own bodies. It’s especially suited for those who struggle with anxiety, offering gentle tools to ground the nervous system, regulate breath, and awaken the senses to God’s nearness. Whether kneeling in prayer, walking in nature, or simply breathing with intention, this book invites readers to rediscover the body not as a burden but as a means of encountering the divine.

Alexander Lemons is a Marine Corps scout sniper who, after serving multiple tours during the Iraq War, returned home seriously and mysteriously ill. Joshua Howe is an environmental historian who met Lemons as a student in one of his classes. Together they have crafted a vital book that challenges us to think beyond warfare's acute violence of bullets and bombs to the "slow violence" of toxic exposure and lasting trauma.In alternating chapters, Lemons vividly describes his time in Fallujah and elsewhere during the worst of the Iraq War, his descent into a decade-long battle with mysterious and severe sickness, and his return to health; Howe explains, with clarity and scientific insight, the many toxicities to which Lemons was exposed and their potential consequences. Together they cover the whirlwind of toxic exposures military personnel face from the things they touch and breathe in all the time, including lead from bullets, jet fuel, fire retardants, pesticides, mercury, dust, and the cocktail of toxicants emitted by the open-air "burn pits" used in military settings to burn waste products like paint, human waste, metal cans, oil, and plastics. They also consider PTSD and traumatic brain injury, which are endemic among the military and cause and exacerbate all kinds of physical and mental health problems. Finally, they explore how both mainstream and alternative medicine struggle to understand, accommodate, and address the vast array of health problems among military veterans. Warbody challenges us to rethink the violence we associate with war and the way we help veterans recover. It is a powerful book with an urgent message for the nearly twenty million Americans who are active military or veterans, as well as for their families, their loved ones, and all of us who depend on their service.
