My Dead Mom, Lauren Gallow Dec 2013

My Dead Mom, Lauren Gallow

Lauren L. Gallow

After my mom died I inherited all of our family photo albums and scrapbooks. Looking through these treasure books, I was drawn to three very special scrapbooks that my mom made in the late 1970s when she was a senior in high school and then during her first few years of college. I remember flipping through these books for the first time and having the uncanny feeling that I was looking at myself. I look so much like my mom in these photographs, it blew my mind.

Apprehension (Excerpt), Marianne Rogoff

Marianne Rogoff

"Jon Green lives in the desert and works in concrete. His customers want cement driveways, cinder-block fences, stone walkways that lead to steps to patios to sculpted entries. The new shopping center needs sidewalks, Jiffy Lube hires him to build pits for men to stand under cars and examine the inner workings. Everyone needs a solid foundation."

Review Of "The Mountain Poems Of Stonehouse" Translated By Red Pine And "Yellow River Odyssey" By Bill Porter, Justin Wadland Dec 2013

Review Of "The Mountain Poems Of Stonehouse" Translated By Red Pine And "Yellow River Odyssey" By Bill Porter, Justin Wadland

Justin Wadland

"The translator known as Red Pine thinks of translating in terms of dancing ... Over a career spanning three decades, Red Pine has danced with many classical Chinese poets and important works of Taoist and Buddhist literature, including the poet Han-Shan (or Cold Mountain), the Tao Te Ching, and the Heart Sutra. Informed by his own Buddhist practice and travels in Asia, Red Pine’s work is consistently characterized by a generosity of spirit that opens up these challenging texts to the English-speaking world." -- From the opening paragraph.
