"Among America's greatest poets, a true minimalist who can weave awesome poems from remarkably few words." -Richard Kostelanetz, New York Times Book Review Every generation of poets seems to harbor its own hidden genius, one whose stature and brilliance come to light after his talent has already been achieved and exercised. The same drama of obscurity and nuance that attended the discovery of Emily Dickinson and Wallace Stevens is suggested by the career of Robert Lax. An expatriate American whose work to date — more than forty books — has been published mostly in Europe, this 85-year-old poet built a following in the U.S. among figures as widespread as Mark Van Doren, e. e. cummings, Jack Kerouac, and Sun Ra. The works in Love Had a Compass represent every stage of Lax's development as a poet, from his early years in the 1940s as a staff writer for The New Yorker to his present life on the Greek Island of Patmos. An inveterate wanderer, Lax's own sense of himself as both exile and pilgrim is carefully evoked in his prose journals and informs the pages of the Marseille Diaries, published here for the first time. Together with the poems, they provide the best portrait available to date of one of the most striking and original poets of our age.

For fans of Cheryl Strayed, the gripping story of a biologist's human-powered journey from the Pacific Northwest to the Arctic to rediscover her love of birds, nature, and adventure. During graduate school, as she conducted experiments on the peculiarly misshapen beaks of chickadees, ornithologist Caroline Van Hemert began to feel stifled in the isolated, sterile environment of the lab. Worried that she was losing her passion for the scientific research she once loved, she was compelled to experience wildness again, to be guided by the sounds of birds and to follow the trails of animals. In March of 2012, she and her husband set off on a 4,000-mile wilderness journey from the Pacific rainforest to the Alaskan Arctic, traveling by rowboat, ski, foot, raft, and canoe. Together, they survived harrowing dangers while also experiencing incredible moments of joy and grace -- migrating birds silhouetted against the moon, the steamy breath of caribou, and the bond that comes from sharing such experiences. A unique blend of science, adventure, and personal narrative, The Sun is a Compass explores the bounds of the physical body and the tenuousness of life in the company of the creatures who make their homes in the wildest places left in North America. Inspiring and beautifully written, this love letter to nature is a lyrical testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Winner of the 2019 Banff Mountain Book Competition: Adventure Travel

In the year 2513, the only thing higher than the seas is what’s at stake for those who sail them. Rose was born facing due north, with an inherent perception of cardinal points flowing through her veins. Her uncanny sense of direction earns her a coveted place among the Archipelago Fleet elite, but it also attracts the attention of Admiral Comita, who sends her on a secret mission deep into pirate territory. Accompanied by a ragtag crew of mercenaries and under the command of Miranda, a captain as bloodthirsty as she is alluring, Rose discovers the hard way that even the best sense of direction won’t be enough to keep her alive if she can’t learn to navigate something far more dangerous than the turbulent seas. Aboard the mercenary ship, Man o’ War, Rose learns quickly that trusting the wrong person can get you killed—and Miranda’s crew have no intention of making things easy for her—especially Miranda’s trusted first mate, Orca, who is as stubborn as she is brutal.

Sacred poetry from twelve mystics and saints, rendered brilliantly by Daniel Ladinsky, beloved interpreter of verses by the fourteenth-century Persian poet Hafiz One of 6 Books Oprah Loves to Give as Gifts During the Holidays “All kinds of beautiful poetry.” –Hoda Kotb In this luminous collection, Daniel Ladinsky—best known for his bestselling interpretations of the great Sufi poet Hafiz—brings together the timeless work of twelve of the world’s finest spiritual writers, six from the East and six from the West.

Tales of love, lost and found. Eight short stories centered around the ocean, and the people who find each other on their journeys. The long awaited follow up to A Long Drive to the Coast (2019), James Heaton takes the reader on a trip through the lives and struggles of people searching the world for truth and love. From the streets of Savannah Georgia to the coast of California, James takes his readers on a journey of discovery, two lovers looking for nothing more than true happiness in a world of second chances and true love. Each story is an original tale of romance and the search for fulfillment. The Treasure is one of eight beautiful stories included in A Compass Star. It is the tale of Jason and Eliza as they search for a long lost book and in the process find something more valuable than they could have ever imagined. Set in the town of Savannah Georgia, The Treasure is a modern day love story that explores the lives of two souls as they discover the connection we all search for. Heart-wrenching and wholesome stories that offer a glimpse of love in the real world. James' work is often described as a harmonious mix of classic and modern love stories, where love is mixed with tragedy and enlightenment. From the chilling tales of two lovers searching for a lost book in The Treasure, to the haunting tale of a brother searching for his lost sister in The Witches House. Including updated versions of the classics, Elizabeth Jenkins and What the Tide Brings in. Eight brilliant stories of love that will bring tears to your eyes and a smile to your face. A must read for anyone ever enchanted by the magic of Savannah, Georgia. Excerpt from The Treasure: And then in my mind I remembered the first time Ellen came into the store. I remembered how we laughed at our first encounter and how amazed I was at her the first moment that I saw her. In my mind I travelled through all the moments we had been together. The first kiss at the counter, making love in the playground, our breakfast at the diner. And then I recalled Eliza's voice from the video, "I hope you two fall in love." Excerpt from Surfing with the Old Man: I watched her face as she told me the story of her father. She had truly lived an arduous life. But it wasn't her life, it was his. Behind the mad creative genius there was a beautifully broken young lady sitting in front of me. And she was tired, exhausted, and drained from his creative genius. She might be twenty-five but inside she was well into her fifties. That's when I felt it. The empathy had turned to compassion and then it turned to something more intense. I felt feverish, and dizzy. I didn't know it at the time, but this was the first time I had ever felt true, unbridled love for another human being. Quote from the author, James Heaton: "Growing up I was drawn to the work of Hemingway, because we shared a birthday and later I would discovered that we shared bipolar disorder. He gave gave me the strength to write the stories that were in my heart, and show the world that being different could be beautiful. Later on in life I was drawn to the works of Nicholas Sparks and his tales of two people finding love in the most unusual settings, and I was taken by those stories. I always loved his endings, and his passion for the ocean and I felt that bipolar disorder gave me a different view of the world, a different view of love. After-all, love stories give us hope that we can find that connection to others, no matter our situation."
