Twelve was the correct age to begin using and selling drugs, by Baltimore standards anyway. Rapidly the departure from responsible humanhood progressed...the sprawl of substance abuse ran full gamut. Earning first the illustrious title high school dropout, graduating to lowlife loser addict status, then overdosed junkie. The topper of zenith choices laid in my hands, I had to choose, stand to tower over my self-injurious abuse, or, meh...die in my shoes wherever I fall. Examining the comfort-escape control of heroin, meth, cocaine and booze, a vibrant understanding arises, once willing to face the truth of truths. Beyond the dissection of a 13-year addiction, the WHY and WHAT, perhaps more perplexing is the HOW of getting clean and a resulting recovery spanning 34 years, five months, 15 days, and counting. Six friend addict forewords fill the first chapter. In our individual yet shared ways, we transcribe an interestingly similar journey. Perchance here is a provision of insight for us currently trapped within our own little hell, and those confused loved ones on the periphery, desperate to help but unsure of where to begin.

Women are more capable than confident. It's time to change that balance.Many women have untapped skills and gifts. How would their lives change if they weren't limited by what they thought they could or should do? What would be different in their careers, relationships, and health?In The Wordz We Wear, Vera Milan Gervais unpacks how the labels women take on prevent them from achieving everything they are capable of. Words are powerful-they identify which boxes one fits into, often becoming cages that keep women from exploring possibilities. But confidence, as Vera outlines, comes from believing in oneself. Wordz (spelled with a "z" to disrupt previous thought patterns) help women embrace their strengths and show up with confidence by changing how they think and talk about themselves. When women intentionally choose wordz that empower them, they start to override the limiting beliefs that restrict their choices-the beliefs that hold them back from discovering their full potential.Ultimately, the wordz women wear influence the way they feel about themselves. When they show up with confidence, they expect more. When they expect more, they pursue more. When they pursue more, they get more. It's time for women to cultivate their wordz; it's time for women to live their best lives. Vera Milan Gervais is a speaker, author, award-winning businesswoman, and mindset mentor who helps women develop confidence in themselves and their leadership skills. Her signature Wordz We Wear(R) program inspires women to challenge limiting labels and create their best life. The mother of two adult children lives near the ocean in New Brunswick with her husband and business partner, Marcel.

At a time darkened by war, Ellen Hinsey's The Invisible Fugue returns to questions of our endurance and what it means to be human. Like Czeslaw Milosz's Treatise on Poetry, The Invisible Fugue lyrically reflects on the natural world around us, the possible celebration in the encounter with the other, our confrontation with time and the mysteries ever-present in the universe."Ellen Hinsey's mind bears witness to an unprecedented ability to never abandon poetry, even when approaching the extreme limits of the darkness of our time. In this Invisible Fugue, following step by step the movement of Beethoven's 'Große Fuge' Op.133, her poetry ventures into a new, ecstatic dimension, where, 'released from the black chaos of the unmanifest, ' the earth appears as if in the splendor of the first day, beyond all possible destruction." -Giorgio Agamben "There's an omniscient beauty and wisdom in the intrepid music Ellen Hinsey distills from natural wonder, from spiritual anguish and bewilderment. With roots in Beethoven's most radical, futuristic composition, the Gro-ße Fuge, Hinsey's The Invisible Fugue...compels as both existential quest and far-reaching cosmic aria. After her previous volume, The Illegal Age, which confronted the chilling unraveling of democracy in our imperiled era, these new 'mystical lyrics' (a decade in the making) arrive as a gust of splendid lyricism...The timeless poise and elegance of Hinsey's profound and sibylline project, enhanced by her masterly command of cadence and lineation-artfully crafted in the face of carnage, fear, spiritual outcry, and earthly chaos-is unmatched by any other English language poet writing today." -Cyrus Cassells, author of The World That the Shooter Left Us"If a Fugue is something you hear, what is The Invisible Fugue of Ellen Hinsey's? It is a sourceless source, and this mystery-an 'unlikely coming into being'-is what animates the lyrics of this collection. I've read Hinsey's work for years, and every time the language and form feel constitutional, something upon which to be made, or unmade. The Invisible Fugue is no different: Hinsey looks for 'the fixed point of the unexpected' and manages to hold a tone both urgent and unhurried; fugitive and full of feeling; filled with knowing and filled beyond knowing." -Pádraig Ó Tuama, host of Poetry Unbound"Ellen Hinsey's poetry balances between a deep engagement with the socio-political world and a rich inner realm. This collection stands out for its distinct mysticism-yet remains non-religious-characterized by its restrained poetic diction, minimalism, and musical elegance. It's a stylized, empathetic lyricism of artful gesture...A masterful fugue of the via negativa."-Jaroslaw Pluciennik, author of The Courage of Poetics

Portraits is a group of "poem-paintings" of human and more-than-human subjects whose lives and ways have inspired the poet. This volume includes homages to James Baldwin, Thomas Merton, Denise Levertov, Rachel Carson, Barry Lopez, Vincent van Gogh, and other humans, as well as sea sparrows, parrots, mockingbirds, and starling kin... mother ocean, old-man river, spruce groves and kelp... comb jellies, grey gulls, anemones, green crabs, whelks and periwinkles. Maía's intimate portraits show us how we can see these people and beings who belong to our world in a poetic new light.

The past and present collide for Vasily Korsokovach in his latest adventure.Taking time off as a cop is always problematic - even more so when you are the Deputy Chief of Police. Despite his best attempts to keep the real world at bay long enough to celebrate the budding life he is building with his significant other, Vasily Korsokovach is forced to cut his Las Vegas vacation short after a body is discovered in the choir loft at St. Elspeth's Cathedral. Dressed in clothes straight out of the late 1970s, the victim was clearly not an invited guest to the special requiem mass being held for a recently departed Sister; stranger still is the personal connection that surfaces, yoking Vasily to a past he long thought was behind him - a past that threatens to derail the near year of happiness he's enjoyed with the man he knows to be his soulmate, Alejandro Ortega-Cortez.Separating the personal from the professional becomes further complicated when an unusual provision in the will from Alejandro's late father surfaces. While it's never easy navigating complicated family issues - something Vasily knows all too well from his own personal experience - Alejandro's appear particularly cruel, leading Vas to worry that unfinished business in his boyfriend's past might well keep the duo from getting to their happily ever after. Knowing how insanely lucky he is to have the diver-turned-career counselor in his life, Vas aches to take their relationship to the next level but the scales need to balanced - for both of them - before it can happen.Torn between helping the man he loves and getting to the bottom of the case, Vasily chooses to do both as only he can. Chasing clues from Southern California to Tucson, Arizona, the detective soon discovers that the choice of victim was anything but random - and that death often comes at the hands of a patient murderer intent on timing their revenge for just the right moment.For what is a requiem if not a remembrance of lives - and loves - that have passed...?
