  God of All Flying Things is a gentle companion for those seeking God in the midst of lives full of beauty, longing, and mystery. 
  In this intimate collection of prayers and poems, Rachel Devenish Ford writes from the quiet spaces of her devotion to Christ. These are the words of someone who has sat quietly in sorrow, who has shouted prayers into the dark, and who keeps looking for the presence of God in birdsong, breath, and daily bread. 
  Alongside her poems, Rachel shares original paintings made during times of meditation. These are visual prayers that speak of reaching, belonging, and finding a dwelling place within the soul. 
  Whether you are feeling full or empty, certain or in the whirl of mystery, this book is an invitation to connection with the Divine Presence. 
  From the Author: 
  “I want this book to be kind and fierce. I want it to breathe. I want it to be human. I want it to reflect God's goodness, warmth, and love. 
  We, looking at God, have so many voices. We reflect the brilliance of God in our cells. 
  I am one voice, one of so many. So many people, alive or long passed, have encouraged me when my heart needed it. My voice also sings, and I want to show you my songs. 
  These are the poems of my attachment, the long, wandering relationship I have had with Christ. These are the poems of my wrestling. There are so, so many poems of love. Adoration. Longing. Resilience. Wisdom. Justice. Worship. These are the prayers I needed to shout. Dear friend, these poems are for you.”

  A new collection of poetry inspired by the work of Agnes Martin, exploring topics of feminism, art, depression, and grief, by the author of the prizewinning collection Obit. 
   
   
   
  Yesterday I slung my depression on my back and went to the museum. I only asked four attendants where the Agnes painting was and the fifth one knew. I walked into the room and saw it right away. From afar, it was a large white square. 
   
   
   
  With My Back to the World engages with the paintings and writings of Agnes Martin, the celebrated abstract artist, in ways that open up new modes of expression, expanding the scope of what art, poetry, and the human mind can do. Filled with surprise and insight, wit and profundity, the book explores the nature of the self, of existence, life and death, grief and depression, time and space. Strikingly original, fluidly strange, Victoria Chang's new collection is a book that speaks to how we see and are seen.

  Aditi Sharma, a young prodigy from Delhi, lives a life defined by her brilliance and passion for innovation. Known for her groundbreaking projects in artificial intelligence and low-cost technology, she dreams of creating tools to better humanity. But her extraordinary talents have made her a target for dangerous forces. Aditi's innovations attract shadowy figures from both India and abroad, including a ruthless cartel. 
  Unbeknownst to her, a network of operatives begins surveilling her every move. Narrowly escaping through her quick thinking and the chaos of Delhi’s crowded streets, she is thrust into a world of danger where she must use her intellect and determination to survive. 
  As shadowy figures close in and her family’s safety hangs in the balance, Aditi must navigate a treacherous web of deceit, greed, and power. Her brilliance, once a beacon of hope, has become a dangerous liability. But amidst the threats and betrayals, Aditi clings to the possibility of escape and the hope that her genius might one day free her from her captors—and change the world on her own terms.

  The Complete Works of J.M. Synge. 
  Riders to the Sea: A mother and her daughters are dealing with a familial curse that seems to cause all of the men in the family to die. Anxieties come to a peak when the last, remaining son is getting ready to ride out to sea in order to try and provide for his family. 
  Shadow of the Glen: A contemplative Drama in One Act about how a women's integrity can be unjustly scrutinized through hearsay and speculation, and how forcing those opinions out into the open can have disastrous consequences for everyone involved. 
  The Tinker's Wedding: A story of two young tinkers trying to con a travelling holy man into marrying them, all while their mother is constantly trying to satiate her indomitable thirst for drink, thereby inadvertently causing more problems than the drink is worth. Blaming, miscommunication, and utter tomfoolery ensues, leading to the final culmination of each party getting ready to pounce on each other's necks and outrageously strangle each other Saturday-morning-cartoon style. 
  The Well of the Saints: A blind couple regains their sight only to realize they hate the look of one another. Hilarity and pigheadedness ensues. 
  Deirdre, a woman of immeasurable beauty, is betrothed/condemned to the King of Ulster, Conchubar. But in true mythological fashion, there is a prophecy which prevents this--. Loyalty, familial ties, and unadulterated love will be strained and broken, with only one question remaining: Who will be left to admire the beauty and sorrow of life? 
  Playboy of the Western World: A young traveler has come from out of town boasting that he's committed patricide, which, rather than ostracizing him, causes many women of the town to become morbidly curious about this young man, including the prettiest girl in town and the quite newly vivacious widow. But what happens when the supposedly dead father shows up in town to whoop his son into submission?
