Compiled by editor and poet Stuart Kestenbaum, the  contributors represent a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, each  honoring nature's power to heal, inspire, guide, amaze, and strengthen.    Activist  Maulian Dana of the Penobscot Nation writes on the intertwining  relationship of motherhood and Mother Earth. Biology professor David  Haskell tells the story of the resilient Bristlecone pine trees, living  to be as old as 2,100 years. Iranian scholar Alireza Taghdarreh speaks  to her experience of translating Emerson's \"Nature\" into Farsi. A  previously unpublished 1962 speech by Rachel Carson complements the  collection of more than twenty essays, each inviting the reader into a  quiet space of reflection with the opportunity to think deeply about how  they relate to the natural world.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50697922838801,"sku":"NGR9781616899868","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50827421319441,"sku":"CIN1616899867G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50981182636305,"sku":"GOR014159187","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51040057786641,"sku":"NIN9781616899868","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51538665636113,"sku":"GOR012411219","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1616899867.jpg?v=1751453347"},{"product_id":"prayers-run-on-sentences-book-stuart-kestenbaum-9780971248861","title":"Prayers \u0026 Run-On Sentences","description":"Poetry.

Stuart Kestenbaum's ONLY NOW is a rare accomplishment: a collection of poems that takes on the fragility of the world and our own mortality, and does so with unflinching directness and, most impressively, with wit and a sincere prayerfulness. Many of these poems are what I would call strangely hopeful warnings, elegies-in- advance. They worry about the world in ways that register the beauty of what is in danger of being diminished.--Stephen Dunn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e '...even pears in cans, all come from someplace, ' Stuart Kestenbaum tells us, tells himself in a rush of wonder as he walks the supermarket's bright aisles. And we are miraculously, wryly back to seeds, milkweed, hillsides, what beauty the wind delivers, even plastic bags from the trash inflated, distantly afloat. This deeply metaphysical poet is the e-connect between the sacred and the profane (e for ecstatic, e for remember: this moment is eternal). Which is to say, everything's invited into these meditative poems--worry next to stars 'turning themselves on and off, ' grief next to joy, a patient, grateful surprise that we keep breathing at all. Relish what he sees, then cherish it.--Marianne Boruch","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51701286142225,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51701286764817,"sku":"CIN0982810091G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"house-of-thanksgiving-book-stuart-kestenbaum-9780971248816","title":"House of Thanksgiving","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52815337816337,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52815338078481,"sku":"CIN0971248818G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780971248816.jpg?v=1764263397"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-stuart-kestenbaum.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
