Book excerpt: Writer, artist, Manhattan gallery owner, and co-editor of the Little Review, Jane Heap was one of the most dynamic figures of the international avant garde, creating a life that defined the "modernist experience" as a syncretic one. Deliberately seeking a low profile throughout her life, Heap has frustrated many scholars interested in her personal life and the extraordinarily vital period in which she lived. Through her correspondence, Heap here reveals her intimate self as well as her more public, creative relationships with some of the legends of modern art, literature, and spirituality. Focusing primarily on the voluminous letters written by Heap to Florence Reynolds, the correspondence included in this volume spans the years from 1908-1949, incorporating additional illuminating letters to Reynolds from other significant figures in Heap's life. Heap's letters reveal the radical transformation of a dreamy, young Midwestern woman into a forceful, sophisticated arbiter of international modernism and provide rare insight into the struggle for lesbian identity and community during the inter-war period. They detail her eventual abandonment of art in the search for the transcendent in the seductive and esoteric mysticism of George Gurdjieff. Holly Baggett's accompanying essay further highlights the boldness of Jane Heap's aesthetics and life.

I was so invested in the future of this mother and son, and I can’t wait to hear what you think of this deeply suspenseful story!” —Reese Witherspoon (Reese’s Book Club Pick) Twelve-year-old Bird Gardner lives a quiet existence with his loving father, a former linguist who now shelves books in a university library. His mother Margaret, a Chinese American poet, left without a trace when he was nine years old. He doesn’t know what happened to her—only that her books have been banned—and he resents that she cared more about her work than about him. Then one day, Bird receives a mysterious letter containing only a cryptic drawing, and soon he is pulled into a quest to find her. His journey will take him back to the many folktales she poured into his head as a child, through the ranks of an underground network of heroic librarians, and finally to New York City, where he will finally learn the truth about what happened to his mother, and what the future holds for them both. Our Missing Hearts is an old story made new, of the ways supposedly civilized communities can ignore the most searing injustice. It’s about the lessons and legacies we pass on to our children, and the power of art to create change.

Her latest novel is Our Tiny, Useless Hearts (2016). ‘A new Toni Jordan is always a special pleasure and her latest is a wonderful, witty treat of a novel: cutting and clever, and yet so very romantic, as though P. G. Wodehouse had satirised life in the suburbs.’ Liane Moriarty ‘A classic farce in the style of Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest, complete with physical comedy, exaggerated situations and a spot of class commentary in the form of suburban satire, Our Tiny, Useless Hearts is loads of fun and clever too.’ Books+Publishing ‘Laugh-out-loud funny, yet with real emotion at its core, this is a sexy-smart rom-com about love and marriage...I loved it.’ Australian Women’s Weekly ‘Crisp and clever...conjuring a flawless but vividly rendered romantic hero and a love story that feels fresh and sexy.’ Saturday Paper ‘That Toni Jordan’s new novel manages to be a full-length fiction that simultaneously operates as a hugely enjoyable farce and an emotionally rich domestic drama is a testament to her skills as a writer and the charm of her voice.’ Australian ‘[A] clever and moving comedy about love and marriage. A hilarious and romantic treat.’ Who Weekly ‘Toni Jordan’s novel showcases not a bizarre triangle but a confused love heptagon. With wit and humour, this screwball bedroom farce bends the lines of communication and fidelity out of shape and reconfigures them.’ Best Books of 2016, Sydney Morning Herald ‘Toni Jordan is in that small group of novelists who can write smart, character- and situation-driven humour, which is to say laugh-out-loud comedy: take Our Tiny, Useless Hearts to the beach.’ Graeme Simsion, Best Books of 2016, Guardian ‘Marriage is complicated—and sometimes hilarious—in this novel...Jordan's dialogue is quick and witty, her writing is sharp, and the plot is fast-paced. However, the story's heart comes from the way it deals with the serious issues (like infidelity and infertility) that hide underneath the humor. A funny, pleasant look at love, forgiveness, and second chances.’ Kirkus Reviews

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tiny Dragon's Adventure Summary about this story: Spark, a small dragon who lives in the mythical country of Misty Meadows, goes on an amazing journey that belies his small size. Spark wants to show that even the smallest dragons can have the biggest hearts. Her green scales shine, and her wings are thin. When Spark sees a flyer for the Great Dragon Games, he sees it as a chance to show off his skills and make his dreams come true. He goes with determination to the Dragon's Roost, where the games are held. Along the way, he runs into obstacles like thick woods, dangerous rivers, and mischievous goblins. When Spark gets to the Dragon's Roost, he flies around the holes instead of through them in the Fiery Ring Race and wins a special prize. In the Crystal Maze Challenge, his small size helps him get through tight spots and find the valuable crystal. In the last event, the Sky-High Soar, Spark's drive helps him go higher and higher, which earns him the respect of the people watching. Even though he didn't win the race, his other dragons admire him for being brave and strong. Spark's adventures in Misty Meadows keep going as he discovers new areas and helps people in need. His name as a brave dragon spread far and wide. Even Eldor, the wise old dragon, heard about how brave he was. Eldor is so pleased with Spark's good qualities that he gives him a magical amulet that lets him grow whenever he wants. Spark goes on amazing adventures with his new power, where he meets magical animals and makes new friends. Spark's small size helped him solve problems and give a helping hand, like when he helped a lost spirit find her way home and when he helped a friendly giant get back his stolen golden harp. During Spark's underground trip in Atlantis, he meets Marina, a mermaid who cares about the health of the coral reefs. With the help of his amulet, he gets bigger and helps Marina rebuild the reefs, which makes the water creatures grateful. Spark learns from his adventures that a person's size is not a measure of how brave or important they are. The most important things about him are his heart, his courage, and his desire to help others. He becomes an example for other people, telling them to believe in themselves and be proud of what makes them different. King Cedric of Misty Meadows finds out about Spark's amazing deeds. Spark is called to the royal court, where the king makes him the Guardian of Misty Meadows and gives him the job of protecting the magical people who live there. Spark keeps going on adventures as the Guardian, protecting Misty Meadows and all the fun things there. His legacy lives on, inspiring people to believe in their own powers and accept the magic that is already inside them. Spark's journey shows how important it is to be brave, be kind, and believe that even the tiniest person can make the biggest difference. Spark's heart is full of happiness and pride every time he goes on a new adventure. Misty Meadows grows well under his watch, and the Valley of Whispers is a place where magic and knowledge from the past can be found. Spark's story will live on, telling everyone who hears it that greatness can come in many forms and that a brave heart can lead to the most amazing things. How the story started: Once upon a time, Spark, a small dragon, lived in the magical land of Misty Meadows. Spark was not like other dragons. In fact, he was the smallest dragon anyone had ever seen. He was a sight to behold. His green scales sparkled, and his wings were as thin as gossamer. Even though Spark was small, he had big dreams and a brave heart. He wanted to do big things like the big dragons he had heard about. He spent his days exploring the beautiful fields and playing with his animal friends in the woods. Spark, always wanted more. One beautiful morning, Spark was flying around when he saw a brightly colored bird. It said that there would be a race called the "Great Dragon Games," in which dragons of all sizes could take part. Spark's little heart was racing with happiness. He knew this was his chance to show that even tiny dragons can have the biggest hearts. Spark gathered up his courage and went to the Dragon's Roost, where the Great Dragon Games were going to be held. The trip wasn't easy for a dragon of his size. He had to go through thick woods, cross dangerous rivers, and even trick a group of sneaky goblins. Spark kept going because he was driven by his strong desire. After traveling for days, Spark gets to the Dragon's Roost. As dragons of all shapes, sizes, and colors came from all over, the place was filled with energy. Spark's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't let the fact that he was short stop him. He was going to do everything he could. There were many different contests at the Great Dragon Games, and each one tried a different skill. The Fiery Ring Race was the first-time dragons had to fly through a number of flaming hoops. Spark knew he couldn't fly as quickly as the others, but he was quick and smart. He didn't run through the hoops. Instead, he flew around them, using his speed and agility. Spark won a special prize for being creative because the judges were impressed by how he did things differently. The Crystal Maze Challenge, which was a test of intelligence and skill, came next. Dragons had to get through a maze full of magical hurdles to find a valuable gem. Spark was small, so he could quickly move through small areas and around tight turns. As he ran quickly through the maze, his green scales sparkled in the dim light. He saw the gem right away, which got him another round of praise from the crowd. The Sky-High Soar was the last game and the hardest one. Dragons had to fly to the top of the Enchanted Mountains while dodging stormy clouds and strong winds. When Spark looked up at the tall hills, he felt both excited and scared. But he wouldn't give up. With each beat of his little wings, he went higher and higher, never losing sight of his goal. As Spark reached the top, the crowd cheered loudly. They were impressed by how brave and determined the small dragon was. Even more important than the Sky-High Soar, Spark had won the love and respect of his fellow dragons. Spark went back to Misty Meadows, happy and proud of how well he did at the Great Dragon Games. The animals in the woods cheered and praised him because they were proud of their brave friend. Spark's story about being brave and persistent taught young dragons and other animals to believe in themselves and be proud of what makes them different. His story showed that a person's worth is not based on how tall they are, but on how brave and driven they are. Spark went on exciting adventures, where he found new places and helped people who were in trouble. He In Misty Meadows, he became a sign of hope and inspiration, a reminder that even the smallest of them could do big things. Spark's status as the little dragon with the biggest heart grew with every new adventure he went on and act of kindness he had. Eldor, a wise old dragon, took notice of Spark because he was brave and didn't care about himself. Eldor went to see Spark because he was amazed by how good he was. He told Spark about his own great adventures. Spark got a special amulet from Eldor because he was brave and helped bring peace back to Misty Meadows. Spark's size could be changed at will by the charm. Spark can change into a bigger dragon that can do even more powerful things with just one touch. Spark's size used to be seen as a bad thing, but now he sees it as a chance to make an even bigger difference in the world around him. Spark used his new skill to keep exploring the strange places beyond Misty Meadows. He solved problems and helped people in need as he went through beautiful woods, over dangerous mountains, and into secret tunnels. Because he was small, he could get into small spaces, go to hard-to-reach places, and talk to animals that others might have missed. With each new adventure, Spark's notoriety grew. Dragons from other lands came to him for advice, and animals of all sizes saw him as a sign of hope. Spark's kind and brave deeds became famous, and they still inspire people today.

Download or read book a tiny space written by Fifi Coo and published by Ethos Books. This book was released on 2023-04-23 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I stand and face the sea, as the waves come crashing to the shore, the music of the sea is thunderous and loud. Yet I am unafraid, I chase the waves, I run about, excited but calm, I want to explore, I only want more.” —fifi coo, 11 June 2016 After eight years of quiet, fifi coo found his voice through the collective love of a family, the patience and resourcefulness of a mother, and a simple alphabet board. The board became the interface between fifi’s thoughts and the public world beyond him. With it, he speaks poetry. — How open are we to specialness in our lives? Open the door to the tiny spaces within you, and let in fifi coo’s inner light. A note from fifi For parents whose hearts are in deep sorrow, I only wish my poems will offer them hope and encouragement for themselves and for their child to one day find his/her voice. For teachers, therapists and those who have a duty or a job to help special needs individuals lead a more fulfilling life, I hope my book will encourage them to explore new ways of teaching and to not label us as low functioning if we are non-verbal. I hope my book will also help them see that understanding autism cannot be based on theories and experiences with other non-verbal autistics. I hope my book makes them rethink what autism is about and that whatever questions they have about autism, the only person that can give them real answers will be the individual that they are trying to help. For anyone else who might read my book, I hope they will hear inside my heart and hear my loneliness and experience what it is like to be a human person frequently misunderstood and trapped in a body that is not very functional. I hope I can be a lonely voice for all my non-verbal friends. We experience loneliness in a way that no one can ever understand unless they too lose their voices and have special needs.

Book excerpt: Women today feel pressure to be the best wife, mom, and professional possible--often at the expense of their own identity. But what if you could experience deep peace--knowing you are loved right now, just as you are? In Brave Love, the founder of the multimillion-dollar company Lisa Leonard Designs inspires women to find themselves again amidst the noise and competing demands of real life. This paperback edition includes a new foreword written by Stephen Leonard, exclusive discussion questions for personal reflection, and a Q&A between Lisa and Steve. Brave Love is about what it means to be human, how it feels to be broken and afraid, and what happens when we dare to love deeply. Join Lisa on a journey where you will discover you are worthy and lovable just as you are. You don't have to try harder or be better. You don't have to prove yourself, and you don't have to make others okay. In this freedom you will find more peace and more joy. Most importantly, you will learn that as you stop trying to be everything to everyone, you will love others better. Lisa Leonard shares her story of finding truth and wholeness in the midst of life's competing demands. When she said her marriage vows, she was determined to be the best wife she could be. When her first son was born with a severe disability, Lisa promised herself she would always be the mother he needed. When she began her jewelry business, Lisa committed to giving it her all. Over the years, the exhaustion of trying to be the perfect wife, mother, and businesswoman took its toll. Lisa knew it wasn't working. She wanted to change things, but how? Everyone depended on her. So she kept going, kept pushing, kept trying to prove she could do it all. Until one evening, in tears and desperation, Lisa realized that she could no longer be everything to everyone. Somewhere along the way, she had lost herself. In Brave Love, Lisa shares her story of losing--and finding--her own voice in the clamor of family, career, and internal pressure to prove herself.
