In awe of her DNA, at war with her anxiety and at odds with her heartstrings, author Kaitlyn Wylde is never at a loss for words. In her new collection, The Head, The Heart & The Home, she gives her listeners orchestra seats to a timeless drama of love and intimacy, and struggling with the absence of them. Under the white-knuckled grip of anxiety, the chainmail blanket of despair and the windless knock of heartache, Wylde thrives as a storyteller.

As a student of the well respected teachings of Neville Goddard, I found that the essential shift to success on my journey came ONLY when I learned that you must first accept that everything is internal. Consciousness is the only reality. You can test these simple Approved Guidelines in your own research to find out that the truth is real. The Law of Assumption shows you that the world is truly within. Law of Attraction was wrong because it held to the belief that the world is outside of you. Until you accept this, you will not be successful.

Dispute over land and kingdom may lie at the heart of this story of war between cousins - the Pandavas and the Kouravas - but the Mahabharata is about conflicts of dharma. These conflicts are immense and various, singular and commonplace. Throughout the epic, characters face them with no clear indications of what is right and what is wrong; there are no absolute answers. Thus every possible human emotion features in the Mahabharata, the reason the epic continues to hold sway over our imagination.

The Essential Muriel Rukeyser represents the curation of Rukeyser’s most enduring and urgent work, gathered in one volume that spans the many decades of her life and career.

Hermann Hesse ließ sich oft von den Jahreszeiten zu wundervollen Gedichten und Betrachtungen inspirieren. Seine Texte fangen die geheimnisvolle Aura des Wandels ein - das Aufblühen des Frühlings, die Üppigkeit des Sommers, die Farbenpracht des Herbstes und die Stille des Winters. Christian Berkel interpretiert Hesses Worte so nuancenreich, dass ihre zeitlosen Inhalte geradezu magisch klingen.

Unable to find work in his field, Joseph Ponthus enlists with a temp agency and starts to pick up casual shifts in the fish processing plants and abattoirs of Brittany. Day after day he records with infinite precision the nature of work on the production line: the noise, the weariness, the dreams stolen by the repetitive nature of exhausting rituals and physical suffering. But he finds solace in a life previously lived. Shelling prawns, he dreams of Alexandre Dumas. Pushing cattle carcasses, he recalls Apollinaire.

A Hundred Lovers is a catalog of encounters, sublime, steamy, and frank. Inspired by French autofiction, the poems feel both sharp and diaristic; their lyrical, intimate world brings us everyday scenes imbued with sex. "Eros enters, where shame had lived," the speaker observes, as the poems explore risk and appetite, promiscuity and violence, and, in the wake of his marriage, questions about monogamy and desire.
