Forced into early retirement by a spinal condition, Steven Wolf
reluctantly left his family and moved to Arizona for its warm
winter climate. A lifelong dog lover, the former hard-driving
attorney is drawn to a local group that rescues retired racing
greyhounds. When Comet, a once-abused cinnamon-striped racer,
chooses to "adopt" Wolf, he has no idea that a life-altering
relationship has begun - for both of them. Racers, cruelly treated
and exposed only to the track and cage, have no inkling of the most
basic skills-walking on tile floors, climbing stairs, even playing
with toys or children - so Wolf must show the mistrustful greyhound
how to thrive in the real world. Gradually, a confident but
mysterious spirit emerges from the stunning animal. And when Wolf's
health starts to worsen, the tables turn and Comet must now help
Wolf with the most basic skills. Wolf teaches her to be a service
dog, and soon enough she's hauling his wheelchair at top speed
through airport terminals, towing his cart through the grocery
store, helping him get out of bed, and attracting friends to Wolf's
isolated world. She plays a crucial role in restoring his health
and even saving his marriage. Their unshakable faith in each other
makes them winners once again.

"I Speak of the City" is the most extensive collection of poems
ever assembled about New York. Beginning with an early piece by
Jacob Steendam (from when the city was called New Amsterdam) and
continuing through poems written in the aftermath of 9/11, this
anthology features voices from more than a dozen countries. It
includes two Nobel Prize recipients, fifteen Pulitzer Prize
winners, and many other recognizable names, but it also preserves
the work of long-neglected poets who celebrate the wild
possibilities and colossal achievements of this epic city.
Poets capture New York's major moments and transformations,
writing of Hudson's arrival, Stuyvesant's prejudice, and the city's
astonishing growth and gentrification. They speak of the thrills of
a skyscraper's observation deck and the privations of teeming
tenements. They portray the immigrant experience at Ellis Island
and the decay, fear, and unexpected kindness on a subway ride. They
take place on sidewalks, bridges, and docks; in taxis, buses, and
ferries; and even within nature. The Brooklyn Bridge, Times Square,
Broadway, the Statue of Liberty, and other familiar landmarks are
recast through the prism of individual experience yet still reflect
the seeming invincibility of New York and its status as a cultural
magnet for the freethinking and experimental.
While certain subjects and themes can be found in all urban
verse, poems about New York have their own restless rhythm and
ever-changing style, much like the city itself. Whether writing
sonnets, epics, or experimental or imagistic verse, each of these
poets has been inspired by the marvels and madness, humor and
heartbreak of an enduring city.

My musings, my notes, my journal, is a collection of receipts of
stolen souls imprinted in my mind and branded on my heart.
'Tis the three year journey of spying saints, stalking sinners,
copying conversations, mimicking masks, tracing transactions,
listening intently, staring obnoxiously, assuming intentions,
speculating reasons, questioning antics, trodding tearfully and
writing alone - spilling my own blood first, in hopes of sustaining
life beyond.
"Snails" is that journal of that journey from there to here,
sprinkled with honor, speckled with horror, spackled with hope.
Dazai Osamu (1909-1948) is one of Japan's most famous literary
suicides, known as the earliest postwar manifestation of the
genuinely alienated writer in Japan. In this first deconstructive
reading of a modern Japanese novelist, Alan Wolfe draws on
contemporary Western literary and cultural theories and on a
knowledge of Dazai's work in the context of Japanese literary
history to provide a fresh view of major texts by this important
literary figure. In the process, Wolfe revises Japanese as well as
Western scholarship on Dazai and discovers new connections among
suicide, autobiography, alienation, and modernization. As shown
here, Dazai's writings resist narrative and historical closure;
while he may be said to serve the Japanese literary establishment
as both romantic decadent and representative scapegoat, his texts
reveal a deconstructive edge through which his posthumous status as
a monument of negativity is already perceived and undone. Wolfe
maintains that cultural modernization pits a Western concept of the
individual as realized self and coherent subject against an Eastern
absent self--and that a felt need to overcome this tension inspires
the autobiographical fiction so prevalent in Japanese novels.
Suicidal Narrative in Modern Japan shows that Dazai's texts also
resist readings that would resolve the gaps (East/West, self/other,
modern/premodern) still prevalent in Japanese intellectual
life.

Beneath the social mask we wear every day, we have a hidden shadow side: an impulsive, wounded, sad, or isolated part that we generally try to ignore, but which can erupt in hurtful ways. As therapists Connie Zweig and Steve Wolf show in this landmark book, the shadow can actually be a source of emotional richness and vitality, and acknowledging it can be a pathway to healing and an authentic life. "Romancing the shadow"--meeting your dark side, beginning to understand its unconscious messages, and learning to use its powerful energies in productive ways--is the challenging and exciting soul work that Zweig and Wolf offer in this practical, rewarding guide.
Drawing on the timeless teachings of Carl Jung and compelling stories from their clinical practices, Zweig and Wolf reveal how the shadow guides your choices in love, sex, marriage, friendship, work, and family life. With their innovative method, you can uncover the unique patterns and purpose of your shadow and learn to defuse negative emotions; reclaim forbidden or lost feelings; achieve greater self-acceptance; heal betrayal; reimagine and re-create relationships; cultivate compassion for others; renew creative expressions; and find purpose in your suffering.
The shadow knows why good people sometimes do bad things. Romancing the shadow and learning to read the messages it encodes in daily life can deepen your consciousness, imagination, and soul.

Jahren kommt Stephen Wolf in das Stadtchen zuruck, wo er einst im
Cosmischen Labyrinth sein Madchen erstochen hatte. Deshalb war er
zum ewigen Leben verurteilt worden. Es ist die Fortsetzung der
alten Geschichte um die Tabus einer scheinbar so aufgeklarten
Gesellschaft, in der ein Mensch und Kojote, der die Wahrheit des
Lebens, der Liebe und des Todes sucht, noch immer ein einsamer
Aussenseiter ist. Die Erwachten hatten Stephen Wolf zum ewigen
Leben verurteilt. Zuerst glaubte er an ein Wortspiel, eine
intelligente Metapher, aber nach und nach wurde ihm bewusst, dass
es tatsachlich so war: Er alterte nicht und wurde gesunder, ja
junger. Er war einst auch dazu verurteilt worden, einen Tag lang
die direkte Einsicht in das Ich Bin" zu erhalten, das wahre Wesen
der Natur, seiner Natur, zu erleben. So musste er von nun an mit
dem Wissen leben, was das Ziel des Menschseins tatsachlich sein
kann. Nun konnte er sich nicht mehr hinter Unwissenheit und
Ignoranz verstecken. Die Urteilsbegrundung" der Erwachten, hatte
ihm prophezeit, dass er erst sterben darf, wenn er erwachsen
geworden ist und die sexuelle Liebe verwirklicht hat. Irgendwann
ist er dann zum Buddhismus gekommen, im Glauben, in den Lamas auf
Menschen getroffen zu sein, die es mit dem Erwachen erst meinen.
Aber auch dieser Weg konnte ihn wie andere vorbereitete Wege nicht
der Wahrheit naher bringen. Er hat die Lugen des spirituellen
Supermarktes entlarvt. Alle Wege fuhren ihn dahin, zu erkennen, was
es heisst erwachsen zu werden." Endlich traut er sich, bewusst ins
Cosmische Labyrinth (ein Synonym fur die psychedelische Erfahrung)
zu gehen und sich dort in der sexuellen Begegnung der Frau zu
offnen, die er vor 80 Jahren erstochen hatte, um seine eigene
Unzulanglichkeit nicht sehen zu mussen. Er erkennt schliesslich,
