Is its meaning Margot, Moira, Mother, or the mileage between lovers? Zeus the lightning thrower has advised his son of no fame to publish twenty books/of praiseworthy poems/ before getting back to him Now in Geoff Petersons latest, an aging Adonis is challenged by an on-again/off-again affair in his annual cycle of four months in transit, four months of frolic with his beloved, and four months of grief and self-appraisal. In the country of Sex & Death, the poets dilemma remains the age-old riddle: how to occupy two planes of existence at once without upsetting the table. In Moira, everythings a sign pointing to the goddess. In the words of the oracle, A man cannot help who he loves. Moira reminds us that to fall in love is to catch the red-eye to the Land of Shadows. Peterson is a sensitive with a keen eye for commitment to place, and his Moira Cycle a challenge and not for the faint of heart. Andy Vinca

In The Handmaid’s Tale and Philosophy, philosophers give their insights into the blockbuster best-selling novel and record-breaking TV series, The Handmaid’s Tale. The story involves a future breakaway state in New England, beset by environmental disaster and a plummeting birth rate, in which the few remaining fertile women are conscripted to have sex and bear children to the most powerful men, all justified and rationalized by religious fundamentalism. Among the questions raised by this riveting and harrowing story: ● The Handmaid’s Tale displays the connection between sex and power. What light does this story shed on sex and power in our own society? ● The divinity of the feminine is associated with the female capacity to give birth. Is this association inherently exploitative? ● In the story, the revolution rapidly rebranded people by changing their names and placing them into functional groups with specific titles. How important is change in language to the suppression of individual freedom? ● The Handmaid’s Tale sees everything through the eyes of one character. How is it possible to construct a self and an identity at odds with the definition which the culture attempts to impose? ● In oppressive societies, even the most oppressed do show some freedom of choice. What is the limit of autonomy in a repressive society ruled by a fanatical ideology? ● Our present ethics of sex relies heavily on the notion of consent, but in the world of The Handmaid’s Tale there is little scope for consent. How is the power of consent constricted by the broader social conditions? ● The feminist idea of Care Ethics can be used to critique various gender relationships. How does Care Ethics evaluate our own society and the society depicted in The Handmaid’s Tale? ● The society portrayed in the story is marked by fierce religiosity, yet the Christian God presumably disapproves of its brutal exploitation and oppression. What is the relation between a loving Deity and the literal interpretation of scriptural passages? ● Among many dystopian stories, what makes The Handmaid’s Tale particularly memorable, and what purpose is served by the contemplation of imaginary dystopias? ● Suicide is common in The Handmaid’s Tale, and contemplating the possibility of suicide is even more common. Can life be worth living if the political and religious structure is thoroughly malign? ● Beneath the theocratic preaching, there is the practical suggestion that everything is being arranged for the good of society and therefore of everyone. Who gets to decide and enforce what is in society’s best interests?

"A mesmerizing storyteller of the highest order." - 4.5 Stars, RT Book Reviews Witch Shana Morland will do anything to discover her future--even secretly turning to the forbidden and cursed Tarot deck created by Moira, the most powerful witch ever to live. Shana soon learns she'll pay a price for her answers. The deck is a prison and Shana has just loosed a curse that may well take her life and that of the man destined to be her mate. Running from his past, Ryan Alden is sure the eyes that haunt his dreams will forever chase him. From the moment he roars into Sanctuary on his Harley, crashing at Shana's feet, his presence will change her forever and trigger a curse. Not only does an unexplained passion rule Ryan, he is bombarded with knowledge of witches and warlocks that can't be true. Even as he fights the coven's reality, he realizes a dark power is rising within him. Moira's playing a deadly game of Tarot, and if Ryan and Shana can't stop her once and for all, Sanctuary may not survive.

Few ideas in Chinese discourse are as ubiquitous as ming, variously understood as “command,” “allotted lifespan,” “fate,” or “life.” In the earliest days of Chinese writing, ming was already present, invoked in divinations and etched into ancient bronzes; it has continued to inscribe itself down to the twenty-first century in literature and film. This volume assembles twelve essays by some of the most eminent scholars currently working in Chinese studies to produce the first comprehensive study in English of ming’s broad web of meanings. The essays span the history of Chinese civilization and represent disciplines as varied as religion, philosophy, anthropology, literary studies, history, and sociology. Cross-cultural comparisons between ancient Chinese views of ming and Western conceptions of moira and fatum are discussed, providing a specific point of departure for contrasting the structure of attitudes between the two civilizations. Ming is central to debates on the legitimacy of rulership and is the crucial variable in Daoist manuals for prolonging one’s life. It has preoccupied the philosopher and the poet and weighed on the minds of commoners throughout imperial China. Ming was the subject of the great critic Jin Shengtan’s last major literary work and drove the narrative of such classic novels as The Investiture of the Gods and The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Confucius, Mencius, and most other great thinkers of the classical age, as well as those in ages to come, had much to say on the subject. It has only been eschewed in contemporary Chinese philosophy, but even its effacement there has ironically turned it into a sort of absent cause.

And now we come to Trance States, the twenty-third book listed under Petersons Literature of Missing Persons: Would anyone care to begin? If not, let me say its not often we encounter such a flat-footed character as the ghost lurking in the halls of this book. I cannot, in all good conscience, call it poetry, nor recommend it. We return it to its author with the suggestion that he relax his obsession with the mysterious Margot of his imagination. Geoff Peterson

PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG MENTAL PATIENT Caught in a slow-motion free fall that drops him in the tunnels of a lunatic asylum in the last century, the poet tunes to a faint broadcast where sunlight has not penetrated for millennia. There he returns to himself as a young noble wandering between underworld kingdoms in search of his origin.
