Book excerpt: I get an odd kind of pleasure from writing longhand underneath pre-selected titles, titles that seem to imply or propose a tonal space from which to begin generating and/or arranging material. A small show of drawings, prints and paintings by Jasper Johns at the Museum of Modern Art titled Regrets made me curious to try that word as a title this past spring, and the term Pregrets - the fantasy or fact of getting ready to feel sorrow or distress, the attendant humours such a frame might provoke, the probability of not landing in the predetermined spot, the derangement of proposed memories ¿ popped into place after awhile and eventually took over as the primary term to work under. As the process of writing these poems is on-going, I don't have a further assessment to make of their makes, and don't want to force one out just yet, out of fear of stopping the vehicle before it ends on its own terms. I can say that I'm relying heavily on what I consider internalised collagist wiring to make relatively quick decisions about what gets into the poems.

Book excerpt: Poetry. New poems by Anselm Berrigan. "In the world of Anselm Berrigan sketchiness is next to godliness and repeated heavy-lifting becomes a pleasure. PREGRETS has the feel of wandering a giant armory filled with enigmatic objects and pointed memories. Dust motes in daylight betray a thin path forward so the 'tongue' of the book seems in constant peril; addictively so. 'Red copter rises slicing a scraper into outer cubicle dreams...' Possessed of a haunted style that moves beyond surface. Fathomless."--Cedar Sigo "With PREGRETS; Anselm Berrigan captures the scattered environs and tonal intrusions that compose thought-break as society--a reflection of the seemingly scattered populace; where the all is broken while becoming thought; 'unity would like / its finked deproductions back.' If we remove a cogent arc; the dips and peaks of our lives become weirdly accessible; where each observed indentation of skin on skin action becomes a jeweled aphorism; a telegrammed imagistic; from u to us--'I'm a covered base / levitating carry-ons into sub-extinction.' Berrigan synthesizes time's arrival as an act of pregret; by giving us regrets to degret from; now he's got me doing it! The breathless yet finite scrawl of these poems--ecosystems of empowerment that infuse the neighborhood walk with the centered page--re-train listening as a sort of ekphrasis of unfolding; to capture the journey's formation with a delicate insistence on the everyday apogee found between the words; 'being a thingless / telephat;' of poet to reader; 'give my love to the air out there.'"--Edwin Torres "Houdini word smithy Anselm Berrigan writes elsewhere about poetry coming from a place as if a filter between your consciousness and the world fluttering in. This magic act; not facile; is unpredictable--the filter works lovingly overtime; hard at its alchemy; arrangement; intuitive flowing 'moves' of brain flash; found attitude; multiple voiced increments. Sometimes I'm breathless inside a language barrage or barrel speedily turning not bound by any one thought. Other times I'm with abandon in the cognition quotidian soup. ('The abstract poet runs where in cognito again?') But consciousness is a vivid Zen equalizer--a syncretic piling on as words jump the gate; rhapsodize; list; lumber; scan this wild existence. So what IS the sense of PREGRETS? 'gret' comes from the 'greter' meaning to weep; mourn; lament from the Frankish 'gretan.' Was it that moment before you weep? or imagined later? Future pluperfect? Regrets suggest a past. Begrets suggest something between begetting and beginning; more complicated than 'first thought; best thought' And we have also Deflategrets; Freegrets; Megrets; Gretgrets; and then Degrets de-constructs the lament perhaps. So PREGRETS I figure gets at origins that already have some kind of affect/karma but don't have to add up. A huge relief. This work is all about duration and mind and space; and Time as spiral. Often like dream text with that crazy 'other' fluttering in wild tandem. 'The escapist fig as fondled contour.' Amazing."--Anne Waldman
Download or read book The Dragonsong Law Offices written by Abigail Drake and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-31 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One sister is a powerful witch, but the other has special powers of her own. Eliza Dragonsong is a lawyer by day and a Wiccan high priestess by night. Her unique skillset comes in handy in the courtroom, and also when she's asked to guard an ancient cursed stone from the dangerously charming Ivan Rochat. Although he's a former art thief with a questionable past, Eliza still finds herself drawn to him, and soon realizes she has to guard more than just the stone. She has to guard her heart as well. Amanda Dragonsong is nothing like her older half-sister. Shy and self-conscious, she's a woman gifted with a beautiful voice, but that gift can also be a curse. Her lullabies make people drift off to sleep, and her sad songs make them cry, but it's her love songs that often cause the most damage. When her domineering mother forges Amanda's name on a contract for a live show in Vegas, Amanda knows she has to get away. Going back to her childhood home, to the safety of her father and her sister, is her best option. But returning means facing some of the ghosts from her past, including Tommy Belfiore, a handsome firefighter, and the only man she ever truly loved. Two sisters. Two extraordinary gifts. One chance at happiness. Will they be brave enough to take it?

Book excerpt: A kick-in-the-pants wake-up call to start living meaningfully in light of how many Mondays you have left from longtime coach, positive psychology expert, and Penn Resilience Program instructor Jodi Wellman How many Mondays do you have left? Does that question send you into a panic spiral, or are you convinced that, unlike everyone in the history of life on earth, you will somehow avoid the tragic end and live to tell the tale? Statistically, we get about 4,000 Mondays in our lifetime, so if you're halfway through your life, you might have roughly 2,000 Mondays to go. The good news is that you are in charge of how you spend those days: toiling at a job you hate, or creating a career you love; scrolling mindlessly for hours a day, or pursuing the hobbies and travel that light you up; dreading the end, or living a full life that allows you to greet the Grim Reaper with a smile. Built around the principles of positive psychology, You Only Die Once is the jolt that will bring you back to life, no near-death experience required. Full of practical takeaways and research-backed content, this book will motivate readers to take action on the life they want to be living, acting like a defibrillator for the soul. Accompanied by author Jodi Wellman's charming illustrations, this book won't lecture you about eating more kale or insist that the only path forward is to quit your job and move to Provence (although it's not not suggesting you do that either. The latter, that is. We'd never ask anyone to eat more kale.). Instead, it's a real-life guide to small changes that reawaken your passion and curiosity for life. Packed with inspiring stories, exercises, quizzes, quotes, and a step-by-step plan to awaken the liveliest version of you, You Only Die Once is the healthy dose of mortality you need to start living with urgency and meaning.
