This collection of stories is drawn from my travel journals of parts of SE Asia between 2017 and 2019. The stories attempt to give voice to the gentle people of Myanmar and Laos, along with providing an insight into their everyday lives. I travelled alone using local transport through these relatively poor countries, both of which are ruled by oppressive regimes, especially Myanmar. The ordinary people can be quite extraordinary in creating their own support programs and small businesses. I am lucky enough to be involved in small educational projects in hill tribe areas of Laos so l have an enduring interest in these countries with such spectacular landscapes and inspirational people.

In April of 2010 (National Poetry Month for those of you who don't know this already), we agreed to take part in the annual "Poem-a-Day" Challenge - a project wherein poets (and other brave souls) write at least one poem a day for the entire month of April. There are myriad blogs and websites that encourage posting these poems but being the private people we are, Mary Ellen set up a Wiggio site that only the two of us could view. Here, over the course of the month, we posted a variety of poems - sometimes only one a day, sometimes more. These poems were written during breaks at work, during lunch hours, on long subway rides, in parks in the rain or sun, in front of the 11pm news (or the 4am news), instead of doing our taxes (or because we'd just done our taxes), and so on. April soon became May and we continued - through summer and then fall and winter and finally on into another April. In 2011, we selected 25 poems from the year and put them into a book-length collection which many of you now own, waiting for the end of the world: thoughts of bullfrogs and guerillas. Instead of ending it there, we continued on and wrote straight through for another year. In 2012, we released Icarus Cannonballed: lessons in cave diving in the Bahamas. And again, we continued on through 2012 into 2013 releasing and the waxing moon: back country skiing in Afghanistan. In 2014, we released Osmium: your ancestor is a jellyfish, in 2015 The art of last night: a song of dancing narwhals and in 2016 split open the sky: eternity overwhelms me. All still available on Amazon! In 2016-2017, life (and death) got in the way. This new collection represents a selection of the few poems we each wrote between the two Aprils (2016 and 2017). The rules remain the same as in past volumes: no rewrites or editing allowed (except for obvious typos). The idea again is not so much to show that we are great poets (there are already enough people in this world claiming that) but instead to simply show friends, family and fellow writers something we did over the past year - in spite of or because of everything else that fills our lives. Themes in these new poems are broad in range and yet, often repeat over the course of days or months: mountains, grief, love, NYC, Mexico, gardens, cities, growth, pain, the universe, loss, anger, politics, sex, food, recovery, mountains, rain, grief, injustice, sleep, nightmares, politics, sex, food, the ocean, grief, family, love, broken bones, loud guitars - you get the idea. Like lovers or meals or rivers, some poems are better than others. Some are only a few lines, some cover pages. What is important here is not that this is "great art" but instead that we once again set out to write a poem every day. And (sometimes) we did. We have. We still do. As we move into our eighth year of poem-a-day, certain themes repeat, new ones are introduced, but again, what is important is that we do this, and we will keep doing this until we run out of things to say about Mexico, NYC, Colorado, the PNW, grief, love, food, sex, the ocean, the world, pain, injustice, prison, family, music, sex, death, and life in all its stinking, brutal, glorious beauty. We hope you will enjoy our words as much as we have enjoyed writing them and sharing them with each other.

When paramedics find a malnourished six-year-old boy near a burning car that holds a dead woman, they wonder who he is—and why he won't speak. From the New York Times bestselling author of The Mountain Between Us comes a story of self-discovery, healing, and hope. On a stifling summer day, an old Chevy Impala ignored the warning signals and was annihilated by the oncoming train. What no one realized until much later was that the driver had paused just before entering the tracks and kicked a small boy out of the car. A small boy with broken glasses who is clutching a notebook with all his might . . . but who never speaks. Chase Walker was one of the lucky ones. He was in foster care as a child, but he finally ended up with a family who loved him and cared for him. Now, as a journalist for the local paper, he’s moved on and put the past behind him. But when he’s assigned the story of this young boy, painful, haunting questions about his own childhood begin to rise to the surface. And as Chase Walker discovers, learning the truth about who you are can be as elusive—and as magical—as chasing fireflies on a summer night. “Martin understands the power of story and he uses it to alter the souls and lives of both his characters and his readers . . .” —Patti Callahan Henry, New York Times bestselling author Full-length emotive Southern fiction Bonus excerpt from The Water Keeper Includes discussion questions for book clubs Also by Charles Martin: The Water Keeper, The Mountain Between Us, Send Down the Rain, and When Crickets Cry

A lavishly illustrated introduction to the world's dragonflies and damselflies Dragonflies and damselflies are often called birdwatchers' insects. Large, brightly colored, active in the daytime, and displaying complex and interesting behaviors, they have existed since the days of the dinosaurs, and they continue to flourish. Their ancestors were the biggest insects ever, and they still impress us with their size, the largest bigger than a small hummingbird. There are more than 6,000 odonate species known at present, and you need only visit any wetland on a warm summer day to be enthralled by their stunning colors and fascinating behavior. In this lavishly illustrated natural history, leading dragonfly expert Dennis Paulson offers a comprehensive, accessible, and appealing introduction to the world's dragonflies and damselflies. The book highlights the impressive skills and abilities of dragonflies and damselflies--superb fliers that can glide, hover, cruise, and capture prey on the wing. It also describes their arsenal of tactics to avoid predators, and their amazing sex life, including dazzling courtship displays, aerial mating, sperm displacement, mate guarding, and male mimicry. Dragonflies and Damselflies includes profiles of more than fifty of the most interesting and beautiful species from around the world. Learn about the Great Cascade Damsel, which breeds only at waterfalls, the mesmerizing flight of Blue-winged Helicopters, and how the larva of the Common Sanddragon can burrow into sand as efficiently as a mole. Combining expert text and excellent color photographs, this is a must-have guide to these remarkable insects. A lavishly illustrated, comprehensive, and accessible natural history that reveals the beauty and diversity of one of the world's oldest and most popular insect groups Offers a complete guide to the evolution, life cycles, biology, anatomy, behavior, and habitats of dragonflies and damselflies Introduces the 39 families of dragonflies and damselflies through exemplary species accounts Features tips on field observation and lab research, and information on threats and conservation
