Alive at the End of the World by Saeed Jones
Rate this book
Clear rating
These poems are raw and jagged, yet there is so much beauty in their sounds and images. In their humor. I love the repetitions and iterations: of grief, of Black musicians, actors, poets.

The Dance of Anger by Harriet Lerner
Rate this book
Clear rating
This book has been helpful--and surprisingly still relevant, even though I read the edition from 2014. I appreciate Lerner's family systems approach to anger, and the underfunctioning-overfunctioning seesaw has been a really helpful way to look at my ...more

Practicing Peace in Times of War by Pema Chödrön
Rate this book
Clear rating
I enjoyed this short book and felt challenged by it. Nura suggested some Pema Chodron right now, and yet I don't find her suggestions very practical for me at this moment. I have requested other books of hers from the library and will keep going. ...more

Inward
by Yung Pueblo (Goodreads Author)
Rate this book

I was glad that I had this book on the shelf after listening to his interview with Dan Harris on the 10 percent happier podcast. These poems aren't full of typical poetic elements: very few images, inattention to sound, inattention to line breaks. Th ...more

Anger by Thich Nhat Hanh
Rate this book
Clear rating
This is another book I should probably buy. It's beautifully written and contains concepts as well as practical applications. I don't quite believe yet in my ability to transmute my anger into something else, but perhaps it's more about the practice. ...more

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke
Rate this book
Clear rating
I can't wait to discuss this at Sunday's book group meeting. I loved the epistolary nature of it and the reverent capitalization--I was afraid it would drive me batty but did not. Things took a dark turn, which I also appreciated. I enjoyed reading t ...more

Against Breaking by Ada Limon
Rate this book
Clear rating
A wonderful essay that everyone should read about why poetry (and art and literature and nature) are so vital to our human existence. The foreword placing this essay, a speech Limon made at the end of her tenure as the country's twenty-fourth Poet La ...more

Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach
Rate this book
Clear rating
I loved this book! I finished it on my solo roadtrip, and it's what helped me come home to Seth. I appreciated her concept of the "trance of unworthiness" and how we can be flattened and flatten other people (even those close to us) when we are strug ...more

The End of The Novel of Love by Vivian Gornick
Rate this book
Clear rating
Every time I read Vivian Gornick, I learn more. For instance, I did not at all think about the relationship between Lily Briscoe and Mrs. Ramsay in Woolf's To the Lighthouse. At least, that relationship isn't what stayed with me. Lily and Mrs. Ramsay ...more

Before Everything by Victoria Redel
Before Everything
by Victoria Redel (Goodreads Author)
Rate this book
Clear rating
I loved this book. It's another of Redel's I'm reading in response to the talk I watched on collaging together a novel. I was struck by her mastery with point of view, that there are 17 of them (I believe). So beautiful and painful. It was helpful to ...more
