Waymarks, an eco-poetry collection by James Thornton, is officially out in the USA and Canada!

This collection tracks one man through significant encounters with the natural world, around the globe.

An Ethiopian lake, an Australian rainforest, an American desert, an English beach: the stage keeps changing, but the intent stays the same. A poet enters a deep dialogue with birds, animals, people, plants, seas, and all the forces that threaten and churn this mix of life.

James Thornton is a zen priest, and WAYMARKS sits alongside other classics of metaphysical writing in which poets bare their soul. Teachings from great figures along the way permeate the collection: a West Coast poet, a Japanese Zen Master, a spiritual leader, and the Dalai Lama.

James is also an environmental lawyer and founder of @clientearth_ . This collection draws on his love of nature and the environment.

Happy US pub day to Red Hands by Colin Sargent! O

Happy US pub day to Red Hands by Colin Sargent!

Originally published in the UK in 2020, this is a deeply compelling tale of a woman caught inside the destruction of a Communist regime.

—

Iordana is a normal girl, brought up with all the perks of Romania’s corrupt communist regime. Then she falls in love and marries the eldest son of her parents’ arch-rival, Romania’s monstrous dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. They become the in-laws from hell, but she brings them their only grandson.

And then there’s the 1989 revolution, when crowds will kill anyone with the Ceausescu name. In all the blood and chaos, can Iordana keep her little son alive?
