In Reimagine, Richard Lee Harris's first collection of poetry, he
leads others on a personal journey from Alaska to the cafs of
Seville while recreating the richness of the world around him.
With the hope that others will experience life's most memorable
moments through his eyes first and then their own, Harris shares
his reflections on the uniqueness of ordinary experiences, the
relationship of those moments to his natural world, and the
impression these memories left with him. From "Arctic White" where
"Tundra falls into Beaufort Sea, snow dissolves, translucent in
ascendant sun," to "Child of the Desert" where "Specks of shade in
a solar sea cast their patterned light over an infant sleeping in a
hammock gently rocked by grandmother sitting docile in her cobbled
chair," Harris couples beautiful imagery with lyrical verse to tell
a relatable and emotional story.
..". Richard Lee Harris invites us to reimagine events that are
part of a rich life and introduces us to environments where we can
wander, appreciating the elegance of nature along with the clash of
cultures ..."

Existential gratitude-gratitude for one's very existence or life as
a whole-is pervasive across the most influential human, cultural
and religious traditions. Weaving together analytic and
continental, as well as non-western and historical philosophical
perspectives, this volume explores the nexus of gratitude,
existence and God as an inter-subjective phenomenon for the first
time. A team of leading scholars introduce existential gratitude as
a perennially and characteristically human phenomenon, central to
the distinctive life of our species. Attention is given to the
conditions under which existence itself might be construed as
having a gift-like or otherwise gratitude-inducing character.
Drawing on a diversity of perspectives, chapters mark out new
territory in philosophical inquiry, addressing whether and in what
sense we ought to be grateful for our very existence. By analysing
gratitude, this collection makes a novel contribution to the
discourse on moral emotions, phenomenology, anti-natalism and
theology.

This superb collection of stories by some of today's finest genre
writers are each set along Britain's northern coast -- Whitby,
Scarborough and other traditional English seaside resorts -- where
tales both grim and delicious are forged.
Collection of British comedies from the 1930s. In 'Their Night Out'
(1933) a young Scottish girl and her business partner have a
memorable evening after visiting a nightclub. 'Doctor's Orders'
(1934) stars Leslie Fuller as a pharmaceutical drugs salesman who
keeps his occupation a secret from his family.
Rachael Lee Harris spent her early childhood locked in an autistic
fog until beginning her journey from a fragmented world to one in
which things began to make sense. Rachael’s determination to take
her place in society led her down many paths, from beauty therapist
to Catholic nun, from mother and wife to divorcee and working mom.
Today, she is a psychotherapist specializing in helping others on
the Autism Spectrum. Rachael’s story explores areas such as
schooling, family relationships, employment, travel, and faith
culminating in monastic life, motherhood, dating, and marriage.
Through her story, we get a more “rounded” positive vision of
how an autistic life can develop and insight into the benefits of
being “on the spectrum” alongside the very real picture of its
challenges. Addressing the culture of disability and negativity
that surrounds so much of the public perception of the Autism
Spectrum, Rachael presents a more moderate and perhaps more
objective assessment of her own life experiences, as well as the
potential for others on the Spectrum.
Echoes of the Underground: A Foot Soldiers Tale is a unique
collection of 'underground' writings by Lee Harris, the majority of
which were originally published in the 'alternative press' of the
60's and 70's; International Times, Oz, Home Grown and Other
Scenes. The collection includes writings on the 'Beat Generation',
William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, the 60's theatre revolution, and
the South African apartheid era (Lee was one of the few white
members of the African National Congress and met Nelson Mandela).
There is some interesting material covering the 'War on Drugs' and
the early days of the 'Legalise Cannabis' movement - as you might
expect from the publisher of Home Grown, Europe's first cannabis
magazine. Also included are rare interviews with beat poet Michael
McClure, the director of the musical HAIR Tom O'Horgan, the man who
'turned on' Timothy Leary by giving him some L.S.D., Michael
Hollingshead, and Harry Shapiro, author of 'Waiting for the Man'
and the Jimi Hendrix biography 'Electric Gypsy'. Some unpublished
work is included in this insightful and personal collection of
writing which covers some of the most exciting and revolutionary
times in recent world history. * Also available as a Kindle Edition
ebook.
