From an astonishing blue jay to a lone humpback whale, from the
back roads of her hometown to the streets of Jerusalem and the
Tower of London, debut author Faye Rapoport DesPres examines a
modern life marked by a passion for the natural world, unexpected
love, and shocking loss, and her search for a place she can finally
call home in this beautifully crafted memoir-in-essays. Three weeks
before DesPres's fortieth birthday, nothing about her life fit the
usual mold. She is single, living in a rented house in Boulder,
Colorado, fitting dance classes and nature hikes between workdays
at a software start-up that soon won't exist. While contemplating a
sky still hazy from summer wildfires, she decides to take stock of
her nomadic life and find the real reasons she never "settled
down." The choices she makes from that moment on lead her to
retrace her steps-in the States and abroad-as she attempts to
understand her life. But instead of going back, she finds herself
moving forward to new love, horrible loss, and finally, in a way
that she never expected, to a place she can almost call home.
Readers who love the memoirs and personal essays of rising
contemporary writers such as Cheryl Strayed, Joy Castro, and Kim
Dana Kupperman will appreciate Faye's observational eye, her
passion for the natural world and the creatures that inhabit it,
and her search for the surprising truths behind the events of our
daily lives.
In The Art of Touch: Prose and Poetry from the Pandemic and Beyond,
the unique voices of 39 of some of the most creative thinkers of
our times have been brought together to consider the impact of one
of our six main senses: touch. Psychologists, healers, massage
therapists, academics, creative writers and others reflect on or
tell personal stories about what it means to be able to touch, or
to have to go without it—as so many did and still do because of
the pandemic; how transmissions such as texting may impede
opportunities for touch while those like Zoom may make it possible
for people who otherwise might be left behind to be "in touch."
From the experience of touching beloved animals, to the
lifechanging ways in which books and performances can touch us,
virtually all aspects of touch are acknowledged in these pages.
