In A Sense of Arrival, Kevin Adonis Browne blends literary, visual, and material forms to present a narrative of Caribbean blackness. Arguing that the story of Caribbeanness cannot be told through words alone, Browne interweaves essays, memoir, autotheory, and narrative verse with documentary photography, portraiture, Rorschach blots, and images of his own sculptures and art installations. Browne labels this multimodal approach and rhetorical form “Caribbean nonfiction,” and he uses it to conceptualize arrival as a theory of being. Arrival is practiced through forms of status, return, belonging, nomadism, self-exile, love, loss, presence, and haunting, each of which expresses the vast complexity and urgency of Caribbeanness. At the same time, arrival emphasizes and extends Caribbean ways of being, knowing, and doing. Throughout, Browne challenges readers to follow the archipelagic sensibilities of the Caribbean to look beyond black death and apprehend the inherent optimism and beauty of arrival. A singular meditation on the art and process of Caribbeanness, A Sense of Arrival is a statement on how the black Caribbean self comes to be.

In this distinctive study, Nicholas Luke explores the abiding power of Shakespeare's tragedies by suggesting an innovative new model of his character creation. Rather than treating characters as presupposed beings, Luke shows how they arrive as something more than functional dramatis personae - how they come to life as 'subjects' - through Shakespeare's orchestration of transformational dramatic events. Moving beyond dominant critical modes, Luke combines compelling close readings of Romeo and Juliet, Othello, Hamlet, Macbeth, and King Lear with an accessible analysis of thinkers such as Badiou, Žižek, Bergson, Whitehead and Latour, and the 'adventist' Christian tradition flowing from Saint Paul through Luther to Kierkegard. Representing a significant intervention into the way we encounter Shakespeare's tragic figures, the book argues for a subjectivity which is not singular or abiding, but perilous and leaping.

Contact with extraterrestrial and multidimensional beings began for Olive Stuart on New Year’s Day 2000 when she heard the Voice declare: "It's time." Childhood terror of an extraterrestrial presence triggered panic in Olive when the Voice later spoke to her through a client who was soundly sleeping during a Reiki session. Communication and trust with the Voice developed for several years until Olive’s fears of anything extraterrestrial were fully released and she understood why she had been selected for contact. Slowly a friendship developed with Avratar, a Fifth Dimensional being who guided Olive to a greater awareness of life beyond Earth’s three-dimensional boundaries. “They must understand that we are here to help” was the message Avratar wanted humans to hear. “Time is limited .... There are many individuals on your planet who wish to live in harmony with the planet and each other, yet they are denied this opportunity. That was not the original intention for this planet. The injustices and the continuing harm to Gaia will not be permitted to continue.” Reports of unidentified flying objects are increasing across the globe; soon even more ships will be appearing in our skies. Sightings, direct contact and even abductions can no longer be dismissed as fabrication. Changes, and the light beings, are definitely coming. The book is designed to help alleviate the anticipated fears and increase awareness of their objectives, how to comprehend the massive Earth changes that have been foretold, and most importantly how to “prepare your heart.” Written in the style of narrative fiction, the book is in reality an autobiography of the author’s growing awakening and acceptance of her role in the planet’s evolution.
