The Quarrel Between Poetry and Philosophy: Perspectives Across the Humanities is an interdisciplinary study of the abiding quarrel to which poet-philosopher Plato referred centuries ago in the Republic. The book presents eight chapters by four humanities scholars that historically contextualize and cross-interpret aspects of the quarrel in question. The authors share the view that although poets and philosophers continually quarrel, a harmonious union between the two groups is achievable in a manner promising application to a variety of contemporary cultural-political and aesthetic debates, all of which have implications for the current status of the humanities.

Artist Tierney Cavanaugh Johnson is tired of being a mom, of being a wife, and of being fat. She realizes she's lost sight of the uninhibited, unconventional girl she was before marriage and motherhood. Her journey to reclaim her true self artistically, physically, and emotionally, draws her into the orbit of her favorite rock band, Junkture, and its charismatic lead singer. Through a series of unexpected events, her selves converge-past, present, and future fighting each other to remind her who she's supposed to be.
