Stories, Dharma and Poems of Ecstasy, Awakening, and Annihilation

From the magical moonlit garden of Gavin Harrison’s early years in South Africa, to the evocative intersection of his life with the glorious poetry of Hafiz in Iran, and on through his years of meditation, service and healing, Petals and Blood evidences a life lived fully, even amidst great struggle. Harrison grew up gay and privileged in a deeply divided and intolerant country. He found peace within a legacy of pervasive sexual abuse and has lived with HIV for over half his life. He, his poems and his stories all overflow with a joy that is uplifting and contagious. With fierce courage, intimacy and candor, Harrison conveys the terror, rapture and wonder of awakening to Divine Love. His poems summon us to the depths of who we all truly are: the mysterious pre-existing Ground of Love, Kindness, Wisdom and Presence that is neither personal nor ever lacking. The poetry evidences Harrison’s abiding commitment to be deeply free in this lifetime. The union of dharma, poems, stories and images celebrate a Liberation that is unconditional and also deeply human. Petals and Blood weaves ecstatic poetry with stories drawn from the poet’s stark, vulnerable and adventurous life. Defying apartheid… helping orphaned children in Africa… realizing Oneness with murderers in a maximum security prison… uniting with The Infinite at the threshold of death… making peace with illness and betrayal… offering prayers to the Goddess Pele in Hawai’i… and his devotion to Mother Africa… The stories and poems remind us that our Essential Nature remains unsullied and untouched by whatever may befall us, no matter how unfortunate the circumstances of our lives may be. Petals and Blood challenges us to stand by our core, no matter what. Its stories and poems urge us to live from the ground of our deepest knowing, while serving all sentient beings everywhere. They beckon us to be in abiding fidelity to the Truth, God, Love—what Harrison calls “The Beloved.”

The "Prophet" whose father, who had worked in the steel mills there, had imprinted an unexplainable "Connection" to the old farm of almost 200 years, and to myself, and to my family. Both steel poles, had the same vertical imprint, standing about eight feet apart. I never knew, there was a special connection there, a special meaning nor a special person, who would one day come into my life as the "Prophet!" The book had been finished for three days! Go into life and do thou likewise . . . "So Sayeth the Prophet"

Nicole Flattery

Light Hardcover (1 lb or less)

New Hampshire

A blisteringly original and wickedly funny collection of stories about the strange worlds that women inhabit and the parts that they must play. A sense of otherworldly menace is at work in the fiction of Nicole Flattery, but the threats are all too familiar. SHOW THEM A GOOD TIME tells the stories of women slotted away into restrictive roles: the celebrity's girlfriend, the widower's second wife, the lecherous professor's student, the corporate employee. And yet, the genius of Flattery's characters is to blithely demolish the boundaries of these limited and limiting social types with immense complexity and caustic intelligence. Nicole Flattery's women are too ferociously mordant, too painfully funny to remain in their places. In this fiercely original and blazingly brilliant debut, Flattery likewise deconstructs the conventions of genre to serve up strange realities: In Not the End Yet, Flattery probes the hilarious and wrenching ambivalence of Internet dating as the apocalypse nears; in Sweet Talk, the mysterious disappearance of a number of local women sets the scene for a young girl to confront the dangerous uncertainties of her own sexuality; in this collection's center piece, Abortion, A Love Story, two college students in a dystopian campus reconfigure the perilous stories of their bodies in a fraught academic culture to offer a subversive, alarming, and wickedly funny play that takes over their own offstage lives. And yet, however surreal or richly imagined the setting, Flattery always shows us these strange worlds from startlingly unexpected angles, through an unforgettable cast of brutally honest, darkly hilarious women and girls. Like the stories of Mary Gaitskill, Miranda July, Lorrie Moore, Joy Williams, and Ottessa Moshfegh, SHOW THEM A GOOD TIME is the work of a profoundly resonant and revelatory literary voice – at once spiky, humane, achingly hilarious-- that is sure to echo through the literary culture for decades to come.

QUOTES from I WAS A SLAVE: Book 1: Descriptions of Plantation Life BETTY POWERS: 'Twas lak a town wid de diffe'nt businesses. Thar am de blacksmith shop, shoe shop, carpenter shop, de milk house, de marster had 'bout 100 milk cows, de weavin' room, de gin, an' de feed mill. FLORENCE NAPIER: Ise sho' 'joy myse'f on de old plantation, an' weuns all had a good time. Allus have plenty to eat. Marster use to says, "De cullud fo'ks raised de food an' dey's 'titled to all dey wants." Same wid de clothes. W'en de marster says de cullud fo'ks raised de food, 'twas true fo' sho'. Ever'thin' on de place weuns raised right dere. All de meat, veg'tables, co'n, fruit, an' sich, an' all de cloth an' clothes am made right that. No, sar, 'twarn't much de marster have to buy. WILLIAM MOORE: We had a purty hard time to make out and was hongry lots of times. Marse Tom didn't feel called on to feed his hands any too much. I 'members I had a cravin' for victuals [food] all the time. I'd take lunches to the field hands and they'd say, "Lawd, Gawd, it ain't 'nough to stop the grip in you belly." MARY REYNOLDS: The times I hated most was pickin' cotton when the frost was on the bolls. My hands would get so sore that they would crack open and bleed. We would have a little fire in the fields and iffen the ones with tender hands couldn't stan' it no longer, we would run and warm our hands a little bit. JACOB BRANCH: Slavery, one to 'nother, was purty rough. Every plantation have to answer for itself.
