Marilyn Stacy has a knack for seeing beyond what most of us see, a knack enhanced by her years as a family counselor. She is completely open to what is possible when disbelief is erased and doubts are set aside. In Just Beyond View Marilyn Stacy takes us on a journey in verse through time and place where lines between real and imaginary are undefined, unnecessary, through past, present and future, all the way to heaven's gate, where a keg of nails becomes a testimonial. Her words are filled with hope and comfort. We are "carried jubilantly along the currents of life." Nothing is as it seems as she describes "books we write inside of souls." Her faith and humor permeate the words, turning and twisting in the end to enlighten us.

Cody wants his brother home, where he will be safe and cared for, not out on his own in a world that Cody knows all too well can be heartless and insecure. So when Carl Joseph's teacher, Elle, begins championing his independence, she finds herself at odds with Cody. But even as these two battle it out, they can't deny the instinctive connection they share, and Cody faces a crisis of the heart. What if Elle is the one woman who can teach Cody that love is still possible? If Cody can let go of his lingering anger, he might just see that sometimes the brightest hope of all lies just beyond the clouds.

Just Beyond Listening asks how we might think about encounters with sound that complicate standard accounts of aurality. In a series of essays, Michael C. Heller considers how sound functions in dialogue with a range of sensory and affective modalities, including physical co-presence, textual interference, and spectral haunting. The text investigates sound that is experienced in other parts of the body, altered by cross-wirings of the senses, weaponized by the military, or mediated and changed by cultural practices and memory. Building on recent scholarship in sound studies and affect theory, Heller questions not only how sound propagates acoustically but how sonic presences temper our total experience of the world around us.

In June 1863, the Southern army was hungry and in need of supplies. So its leader, General Robert E. Lee, sets his sights northward into Pennsylvania. While the abundant farmlands and ripening orchards will make the tiny town of Gettysburg an idyllic destination for the soldiers, General Lee sees it as a most strategic location. As small and inconsequential the town may have seemed, its main roads led to several important northern cities--Harrisburg, the state capital, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, DC. So his army began its march, which the people in Gettysburg heard about and watched with great trepidation. They led their livestock into hiding, moved their merchandise to other locations, and buried their money and other valuables in their yards. But some of the teens were excited about the possibility of a battle being fought right in their sleepy rural hometown. So we see Daniel eager to join the cause, Tillie happily greeting the arriving Union soldiers with song, and Albertus following the Union soldiers through town with his friends. But they were ill-prepared for the real experience and all-too-tragic consequences of men brutally fighting each other. Guided by strong parents, the teens are "transformed" into people who are able to extend compassion to their enemies.
