Sacred Pregnancy

A Loving Guide and Journal for Expectant Moms

Anni Daulter

In today's western cultures, the typical pregnancy focuses on the baby to the exclusion of the woman herself, so that the entire experience has become more about preparing for the baby's arrival than looking closely at oneself to prepare emotionally for all of the changes that creating a new life brings. Sacred Pregnancy was written to help the pregnant woman journey within herself to prepare for the birth of her baby.

Having Heart and Taking Action

Ruby Roth

In Vegan Is Love, author–illustrator Ruby Roth introduces young readers to veganism as a lifestyle of compassion and action.

Collected Poems of Lenore Kandel

Lenore Kandel

Jack Kerouac immortalized her in his novel Big Sur. A student of Zen, she hung out with Gary Snyder and Allen Ginsberg and was a speaker at San Francisco's Human Be–In. But Lenore Kandel was no muse or hanger–on; she was a brilliant lyric poet, often unabashedly erotic, and that’s where her legacy lies. Collected Poems of Lenore Kandel contains 80 examples of her art, from the "holy erotica" of her early years to later, more contemplative works. The collection includes poems written from the early fifties up until Kandel's death. Now for the first time the full range of her work appears in one volume.

Wondrous Child

The Joys and Challenges of Grandparenting

Lindy Hough

A Santa Cruz postpartum doula, a New Hampshire flute–maker, a Zen teacher, a dance therapist, a Sri Lankan film director—these are a few of the grandparents who share their stories in this bracing collection. The essays cover a wide range of experiences as they examine the marrow of this often undervalued relationship from both the grandparent and the grandchild point of view. A common thread running throughout is the special importance of these relationships, which are often as complex and rewarding as the parent–child connection. These vivid essays will appeal to both grandparents, as a celebration of their place in the family, and new parents curious about how grandparents can contribute to their children.
