"These new and selected stories testify to the fact that there are still fine short story writers out there, doing the hard job of serious literary production in our age of tweets and memes...Holland's language is challenging, elliptical, bristling with sensations and resounding with the interior lives of complicated, recognizable people." —The New York Times Book Review In the twenty years since her first short story collection, The Spectacle of the Body, Noy Holland has become a singular presence in American writing. Her second and third collections, What Begins With Bird and Swim for the Little One First, secured her reputation as a writer who excels and excites, her prose described as unsettling and acutely wrought, rhythmic and lyrically condensed. Following the recent publication of Bird, her first novel, I Was Trying to Describe What It Feels Like is a gathering of stories, the majority of which have never before been published in book form. Set on two continents and ranging in length from a single page to a novella, these stories beguile and disrupt; they remind us of the reach of our compassion and of the dazzling possibilities of language. "I Was Trying to Describe What it Feels Like," from which the collection takes its title, is part love song, part fever dream—a voice demanding the ecstatic. Holland's stories do not indulge in easy emotions, and they keep to the blessedly blurred frontier between poetry and prose.

Winner, Governor General's Literary Award Finalist, Lambda Literary Award and Ferro-Grumley Award for LGBT Fiction "Raziel Reid is a really extraordinary guy. He's got a great thing going."—Anne Rice School is just like a film set: there's The Crew, who make things happen, The Extras who fill the empty desks, and The Movie Stars, whom everyone wants tagged in their Facebook photos. But Jude doesn't fit in. He's not part of The Crew because he isn't about to do anything unless it's court-appointed; he's not an Extra because nothing about him is anonymous; and he's not a Movie Star because even though everyone know his name like an A-lister, he isn't invited to the cool parties. As the director calls action, Jude is the flamer that lights the set on fire. Before everything turns to ashes from the resulting inferno, Jude drags his best friend Angela off the casting couch and into enough melodrama to incite the paparazzi, all while trying to fend off the haters and win the heart of his favourite co-star Luke Morris. It's a total train wreck! But train wrecks always make the front page. Raziel Reid is a graduate of the New York Film Academy. He currently lives in Vancouver.
#1 New York Times Bestseller “Funny and smart as hell” (Bill Gates), Allie Brosh’s Hyperbole and a Half showcases her unique voice, leaping wit, and her ability to capture complex emotions with deceptively simple illustrations. FROM THE PUBLISHER: Every time Allie Brosh posts something new on her hugely popular blog Hyperbole and a Half the internet rejoices. This full-color, beautifully illustrated edition features more than fifty percent new content, with ten never-before-seen essays and one wholly revised and expanded piece as well as classics from the website like, “The God of Cake,” “Dogs Don’t Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving,” and her astonishing, “Adventures in Depression,” and “Depression Part Two,” which have been hailed as some of the most insightful meditations on the disease ever written. Brosh’s debut marks the launch of a major new American humorist who will surely make even the biggest scrooge or snob laugh. We dare you not to. FROM THE AUTHOR: This is a book I wrote. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain what it is. I tried to write a long, third-person summary that would imply how great the book is and also sound vaguely authoritative—like maybe someone who isn’t me wrote it—but I soon discovered that I’m not sneaky enough to pull it off convincingly. So I decided to just make a list of things that are in the book: Pictures Words Stories about things that happened to me Stories about things that happened to other people because of me Eight billion dollars* Stories about dogs The secret to eternal happiness* *These are lies. Perhaps I have underestimated my sneakiness!
A child imagines becoming a variety of animals while experiencing different feelings, a howling wolf for sad, a soaring eagle for proud, a stomping elephant for bold, and others.

There are many who struggle at the loss of any kind and the rising thoughts of defeat, which can seem crippling to life. There are times when we need someone to talk to or with who can intervene as we travel on the highway to self-destruction. As it is, life all by itself can present us with situations and circumstances that can appear derailing because we are not sure how or what to do about them. If you lose a loved one, it can be a crippling event; however, everyone will not experience the same emotional tie or disconnection simply because of the nature of that relationship. Within the same family structure, there will be different reactions and feelings. It all depends on the depth of the relationship. And understand, the love we have for our family will always outweigh our ability to provide for them. In life, we find ourselves being caregivers to those whom we love and care for dearly. We give all we have regarding doing what we can with what we have, and some may still impose upon us the feelings of falling short simply from their prospective of what is being done. It will be these responses of disregard that push some, if not many, over the edge toward giving up, frustration, and even relational disconnection. We commit ourselves to provide care in areas that are beyond our understood abilities, only to at times be humiliated and aggravated to the point of giving up and shutting down. And while it is not fair to you, those who express their discontent with your efforts seem to not be concerned with what those negative comments may do to you. This is that part of life that can be daunting to the unsupported. This is that time in our lives when, if we are not sure of our mental resolve and spiritual determination to try knowing that help will be provided, we can easily find life more challenging than desired. So how do we get through these times? What do we do when it seems there is no support? Are we allowed to walk away when we feel we have nothing left to give? These are the kinds of questions that the author endeavors to bring clarity to. As a counselor by desire and having experienced many who have struggled with life's many challenges as a result of losing a loved one, the goal with this work is to provide some sense of guidance for those struggling with the thoughts of frustration and bewilderment. Will all your questions be answered? I am sure they will not, but at least, you will have a better grasp on why you are, where you are, in dealing with your struggle. Yes, as a pastor by calling, this work is laced with biblical insights that prayerfully will provide a sound and structured focus for the reader. This is a Christian counseling method using the strongest means of awakening possible, the Word of God. The primary intention of this book is to give the reader a spiritual understanding of the stress and frustration that may be taking place in their lives because of life's challenges because of loss. I want you to hear with your heart and mind and understand why you are having the experience you have. Yes, your thinking will be challenged, and what you call faith will be questioned, but your end resolve is in your acceptance of your reality of life.
Whether it's a choice, such as a class we' ve signed up for, or a chore we feel we have no choice about, resistance (a voice in the head saying "I don' t want to, I don' t feel like it") can rocket us from commitment to inaction in a matter of seconds. Employing the tenets of Zen Awareness Practice, the book provides numerous exercises and tools for working through resistance. It reveals how the voice of resistance operates in everyday life, the many forms it takes, and how to be free of it. Transcending resistance is a practice of recognizing it as a process that happens to everybody and not taking it personally.
