Olga Bakich's biography of Valerii Pereleshin (1913–1992) follows the turbulent life and exquisite poetry of one of the most remarkable Russian émigrés of the twentieth century. Born in Irkutsk, Pereleshin lived for thirty years in China and for almost forty years in Brazil. Multilingual, he wrote poetry in Russian and in Portuguese and translated Chinese and Brazilian poetry into Russian and Russian and Chinese poetry into Portuguese. For many years he struggled to accept and express his own identity as a gay man within a frequently homophobic émigré community. His poems addressed his three homelands, his religious struggles, and his loves. InValerii Pereleshin: The Life of a Silkworm, Bakich delves deep into Pereleshin's poems and letters to tell the rich life story of this underappreciated writer.

Refreshment brings to mind anything from a cold cup of water at the end of a Marathon to the circular button at the top of your computer screen. It reminds us of car trips with kids and the need to stop along the way. But God’s definition of Refreshment is different. His Refreshment is unlimited and sometimes hidden. It goes beyond surface needs and pours into the heart. And He knows when we need it even before we do. This book is a collection of writings about those kinds of Refreshments, designed to bring sighs of relief in the middle of a busy and sometimes dark world. It is about finding humor in hidden places and joy bursting out of sorrow. It is about red race cars, classy herons, moon-guided turtles, scary fog horns, pink bathing suits, surprising sunrises, Moses, Esther, and Marilyn Monroe. With a little of Paul, Habakkuk, and Elijah thrown in. They bridge the gap between then and now and bring together the common emotions we have shared throughout history. They help us discover deeper insights into the character of God. And they bring us to those “Wow!” moments of light that remind us how close He has always been.
