The story of two young men raised as brothers in the west of Ireland during the early 1900s. Though they choose different paths when the rebellion comes, they both take a fancy to the spirited and alluring Maria upon her homecoming from America. It's told by a gruff old Limerick publican named Mr. Clancy, who refuses to let his gentle inebriation or any distractful facts trouble his tale. It's a story of secrets and sacrifice, fathers and sons, loyalty and love.

She's only fifteen. She shouldn't have to play anesthesia games at all, never mind this often, but whatever. She tries not to waste time feeling sorry for herself. She already knows life isn't fair. Get over it. If you're going to survive, you have to turn it into a game you have a chance of winning, a game that makes up for lost time. A game that teaches you how to be awake even when you're not.THE ANESTHESIA GAME40-something Hannah, 50-something Mitsy, and 60-something Pandora indulge in a creative assortment of addictions that obscure the mysterious connection to a common past that haunts them all.Estate reserve pinot noir, QVC, and a deck of maxed-out credit cards drive Hannah and her Virginia horse farm into a financial corner. Religion, spiritualism, and an addiction to the telephone mystic, Pandora, create the agoraphobic cave into which Mitsy retreats from everyone, including her critically ill 15-year-old daughter, Sydney. Pandora trades her green tea and tofu for the cigarettes, coffee, snickers, fine wine, and hashish that muddy her mystical vision just when she needs it most.The link to their recovery is Sydney, the child among them, and the stake they all share in her perilous condition and unlikely cure. As Syd submits to weekly treatments for an illness she refuses to grace with a name, she plays The Anesthesia Game, a game that ultimately leads her to the origin of her disease and a possible way out of the struggle that binds them all.

You know. Deep down you know, you always have. I am here with you while you remember, while you reclaim your truth. I wrote this book for you while mapping my matrescence, the transition into motherhood. I believe we come to know what is true through the reclamation of our innate childhood wisdom. You Already Knew is designed to be an introspective guide for you as you map your matrescence. This book is for those who know there's more to raising kids than they've been sold, for those who aren't afraid to step outside the confines of conditioning. If you are forging a new path and reimagining your family lineage, this book is for you. Through coming home to you and what You Already Knew the way you see children and childhood will be forever changed. It is my hope that as a result, you find the courage and capacity to extend deep reverence and respect to children, even if this was not your experience. I believe that to heal the planet is to raise children who will create a world unrecognisable to us. To do that our kids must know their needs will be met and know they will be consulted, trusted, revered, and respected. Are you with me?

In Douglas Reid Skinner's eighth book of poems, a lifetime of writing becomes the writing of a lifetime. With verse ranging from the philosophical to the surreal, Skinner ponders the most universal of questions and concerns - how to live, and, perhaps more crucially, how to die. Through landscapes of ploughed fields, dream highways, and building sites alike, our human concepts of memory and literature are observed, retraced, or even deconstructed. Behind the easy intelligence and humour, Skinner remains a flagbearer for the traditions of South African poetry in English. Poems are written for writers and loved ones who have passed, others for those who have most of their years to come - all held in expert balance by a master of his art.
