June 2018Mein wildes blaues Wunder
by Sorosiak, Carlie
** Nichts ist so wild und schön wie die erste große Liebe ** Das Küstenstädtchen Winship in Maine ist ein magischer Ort. Hier blühen Blaubeersträucher im Winter und Wünsche hängen an den Bäumen. Quinn liebt die tosenden Wellen des Meeres und all seine Geheimnisse. Doch seit einem Unglück im letzten Sommer fühlt sie sich wie eine Insel inmitten ihrer Familie. Ihr Bruder Reed sieht durch sie hindurch und ihrer Schwester Fern tropfen die Worte wie Gift aus dem Mund. Erst als der stille Alexander ins Haus nebenan einzieht und sich Stück für Stück ihrer Insel nähert, spürt Quinn: Das Leben und der Ozean sind neben all den beängstigenden Dingen voll von unerforschten blauen Wundern.

Mind, Body, Spirit: thought & practiceThe Findhorn Book of Guidance & Intuition
by Carly Newfeld
This title explores the many ways in which we can access spiritual guidance, heed intuition, and follow what we receive with diligence and joy. Through insightful narrative and spirited dialogue, the author tells the stories and defines the steps taken by people whose clear guidance and intuition is as integral to their daily lives as brushing their teeth.;The first chapters offer a glimpse as to how the Findhorn Community was brought into manifestation through the discipline of Eileen Caddy who heeded the "still small voice" of God within and followed her spiritual guidance impeccably. Also Dorothy Maclean, who discovered that inner listening led to inner joy and from there to rare communication and cooperation with the angelic realm of the Devas. And Peter Caddy, who matched his keen intuition with faith and action. Their very different forms of attunement have inspired thousands of people since the 1960s to seek spiritual guidance, to trust their own intuition, and to follow what is revealed to them.;The author aims to bring readers into her home and on adventures, meeting along the way colourful characters and ordinary people who show the many forms guidance takes in their lives. She offers a touchstone for inner listening and recognizing the voice and tone of wholeness amid the internal dialogue.

Mystery2015Cold Case Conundrum
A Parson's Cove Cozy Mystery
by Sharon Rose
When Mabel Wickles decides to retire from being Parson’s Cove’s only amateur sleuth, she never dreams that she might soon be back at work on a cold case. There’s no body; there are no clues––just a mother who left her husband and deserted her children many years ago. All Mabel has to go on is a young doctor newly arrived in town who seems to have too much money for a physician just starting out, the missing woman’s daughter who’s recently secured a plush job at the local hospital, and her father––the local moonshiner. Most of the women in Parson’s Cove are more intrigued with whether the handsome doctor––Robert Campbell––is still involved with the missing woman’s daughter––Carly Patterson––his old teenage flame. It seems to be the classic case of the good boy and the good girl––gone bad. Besides being frustrated with the lack of clues about the missing Patterson mother, Mabel is also worried that her homemade wine supply is running out. She reasons, if Pa Patterson can make moonshine, couldn’t he make her some wine? She decides to take a trip to the Patterson farm, and maybe while she’s there, she might just find out what happened to Mrs. Patterson those many years ago. However, she soon finds herself at the business end of a shotgun, and realizes that Carly Patterson’s dad is as dangerous as everyone claims. Is this COLD CASE CONUNDRUM really worth her life?

FictionMay 2016And Then They Ruined Everything
Book Two in the Death of Rock 'n' Roll Series
by Duncan Milne
Every action has a reaction. Every reaction has a consequence. Every consequence creates a memory. Having overcome the impossibility of time travel, Kenneth Ramsayer and his best friend exist to relive past rock ’n’ roll gigs. Everything is going well; they’ve become heroes, they’ve discovered love, they had the world by the tail, and then they ruined everything. Based on what is left of their ruined music collections, it appears that rock ’n’ roll died in 1984. Their unassailable knowledge of music, leads the boys to recall that in 1984 an unknown patron made a bootleg recording of a Replacements gig. This cassette was recovered and became the live album “The Shit Hits The Fans”. The history of rock ‘n’ roll was forever changed. Now in a viciously evil plot, a thief has absconded with the recording. But what if the death of rock ’n’ roll isn’t connected to the missing cassette? Seeking help from unlikely sources and following fading memories, the boys travel across America in a bid to save rock ’n’ roll. An intelligent satire, the second novel in the Death of Rock ’n’ Roll series, “And Then They Ruined Everything” cleverly uses the concept of time travel in a rock ’n’ roll setting as an examination of choices and the power of art in society.

The Benjamenta College of Art
by Alan Reed
A simple coming-of-age narrative told in rhythmic prose, The Benjamenta College of Art follows Luca, a first-year student carving out a place for himself at the titular institution. Luca quickly falls in love with Amalia, a fellow student, and, as their relationship blossoms, he embarks on a mission to draw the college itself, a labyrinthian “puzzle box” filled with students — “people who will not ever belong anywhere,” in Amalia’s words — just like him. Indeed, there is something universal about Luca, whose only identifying feature is his “shaggy” hair, which grows longer and longer over the course of his studies. An unknown novice in the insular world of the college, he is lonely and insecure, and yet somehow certain that he would rather be there than the place he left. Upon completing his first year, he decides to stay in town for the summer, claiming, “he [does] not want to go back to where life was small enough for all of it to fit into a neat little house and nothing else but the sky overhead.” So, he works and he draws, making forays into the city to study the college from various angles. However, when his relationship with Amalia comes to an end a year later, his enthusiasm for his art wanes. Artmaking is so often misrepresented in popular culture, with talent and inspiration superseding much of the actual work involved. (If I had a quarter for every thirty- second movie montage of a novelist churning out a manuscript, I’d probably have more than the average book advance these days.) In contrast, Luca is not presented as someone who is especially gifted or passionate, nor is he ever fully satisfied with his work, a strength of this novel. His experience suggests that making art is about time and trust. As Reed writes, “He is so close to something, he may not realize it yet but he is, it has been there all along and he just has to notice it under everything else that he wishes it would have been.” The book’s ending sidesteps tropes about turning heartbreak into artistic gold, but there is still the sense that Luca will persist. Some of Reed’s stylistic choices make this a challenging read. His long sentences carry a poet’s attention to cadence and sound, making them easier to digest when read aloud. Reed doesn’t employ dialogue, and a painstaking focus on actions such as getting dressed or turning on lights can feel tedious. Everyday objects appear repeatedly in Reed’s physical descriptions, which tend to be general; a desk is “the kind of desk that would be in a classroom except that it is here and not in a classroom,” and the doors in the college “are all different sizes and made from all different kinds of wood, when they are made of wood, and not even the door handles are ever the same…” While all of these choices seem intentional, they detract from tension, leaving this book with a lack of forward drive. Reed’s choice for the name of this college appears to be an overt wink to The Institute Benjamenta, a 1995 art film directed by the Brothers Quay. While I can’t offer commentary on how these two works are related, having not seen the film, reviewers describe it as “quasi-mystical” and “dreamlike,” adjectives that could also be applied to Reed’s work. Incidentally, this college appears to have worked its way into my subconscious, as one night while reading this book, I dreamt that I was there. It was a strange experience — much like making art. —mRb Carly Rosalie Vandergriendt is a Montreal-based writer whose work has appeared in Journey Prize Stories 30, Humber Literary Review, CVC Short Fiction Anthology, The Fiddlehead, The Malahat Review, and others.
