Paperback. Condition: Very Good. From Where the Rivers Come is a saving grace. What heaven to read a poet who finds a way to make room for it all, not just the suffering, but the joy hard won.--Jim Moore From Where the Rivers Come never flinches from the body's inevitable vulnerabilities, nor from the soul's response to the emotional collisions of living in a body. From sideshow performers, such as the Anatomical Wonder and Human Pincushion, who suffers from a congenital immunity to pain, to victims of torture and clinically depressed strangers, Solly gives us exacting portraits of human life at the most fragile and resilient extreme. He doesn't hesitate to include his own pain: the loss of love, his mother's death, his own medically reconfigured body.Richard Solly, however, doesn't limit his poetic pilgrimage to descriptions of pain; rather, he advances the ancient argument between body and soul--how one can often become a stand-in for the other. The body, Solly suggests, is not simply a container or tabernacle for the superior and distant soul. The linkage between body and soul is much more fierce and immediate, as he writes, I gave birth to you, / bound your wings to my shoulders. Here is a language of sung gratitude for the wider body of the river of coffee and irretrievable losses, including lilacs and lentils, the nurses who stop by after midnight, walks around a city lake, even the priests who read Solly his last rites, not once, but twice.…

In The Mystery of the Missing Novice, Liffey discovers that there are two unrelated young dancers at an Irish dance competition (feis) who look like identical twins. When one of them goes missing, Liffey's intuition and attention to detail bring about the safe return of the missing novice.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. WHAT ARE YOU DRINKING?When you find yourself restless and discontent, are you able to identify what you are genuinely craving? What is the first thing you reach for? What wells are you reaching into in search of fulfillment? Is it praise, acknowledgment, or acceptance that you long for? Or is it perhaps love and affection? When you finally take a drink, are you satisfied? What many of us have experienced is that once we crave something that appears to be inaccessible, we settle for what seems to be within reach. Sadly, we opt for instant gratification, which in turn creates a greater thirst. Most times only moments later - we discover we are even more spiritually dehydrated than before. Thirsty Soul will help you to identify with the strength you embody and discover where it originated. As a result, you will inevitably begin to reflect on the life experiences that have brought you to this point. Re-evaluating past decisions and why you made them, you begin to wonder, How did I miss the red flags in those relationships? How did I end up on the wrong career path? What was I thinking? This period of self-reflection is a life-altering stage. It's the stage where mind, body, and soul are aligned; forcing you to accept that you have been attempting to satisfy your life's greatest thirst with all the wrong things Thirsty Soul will bring you to the realization that it's time to retrain your drinking habits. That's when the well of living water appears - deep down on the inside of you. And this time, your thirst will be quenched for real - if you can believe.…
