It has been said that the world is always new to those who can see themselves in a new light. This creative and varied collection of poetry takes us along on a journey of introspection and self-discovery. As we read through these poems, the feelings they communicate are both intense and subtle. The author does not shrink from feelings of despair, but nor is he consumed by them. He finds consolation in the knowledge that memories endure even as new horizons beckon us away from them. Happiness is here too: the joy of romance, of playing with ones child, of discovering the wonders of nature, of vacations and even of the simple, everyday act of cooking an evening meal. William Wordsworth once described poetry as the spontaneous outflow of powerful emotion recollected in times of tranquility. This collection is surely a testament to that notion. Most importantly, however, this poetry is genuine. It is a cri de coeur in its passionate honesty to embrace that which is most difficult. It is a celebration of the view from above after having mastered a difficult struggle. It is a retrospective look at life and all that it has to offer. And ultimately, we find here, in the end, an acceptance of that life despite all its many flaws and imperfections. There is much enjoyment to be had here in reading and rereading this excellent collection of poems.

Corballis argues that mind-wandering has many constructive and adaptive features. These range from mental time travel?the wandering back and forth through time, not only to plan our futures based on past experience, but also to generate a continuous sense of who we are--to the ability to inhabit the minds of others, increasing empathy and social understanding. Through mind-wandering, we invent, tell stories, and expand our mental horizons. Mind wandering , hardly the sign of a faulty network or aimless distraction, actually underwrites creativity, whether as a Wordsworth wandering lonely as a cloud, or an Einstein imagining himself travelling on a beam of light. Corballis takes readers on a mental journey in chapters that can be savored piecemeal, as the minds of readers wander in different ways, and sometimes have limited attentional capacity.

Belladonna meets Norse mythology in this gorgeous dark fantasy debut that follows a teen who accidentally awakens an imprisoned draugr and must follow him into a deadly magical forest to rescue her grandmother. Never go beyond the stave church. Within Tiveden Forest, bloodthirsty monsters known as draugr lurk behind every tree, and secrets run through the soil like twisted roots. When her grandmother vanishes into the forest, Astrid won’t let Crohn’s disease get in the way of finding her. But in searching for her lost loved one, Astrid soon uncovers an even greater mystery: A conflict that’s haunted her village and family for generations. An ancient blood oath her ancestor made to protect them. A deadly draugr imprisoned for centuries…who Astrid accidentally awakens. Newly revived, Soren first mistakes Astrid for her ancestor, his ex-lover turned enemy. Astrid can’t tell if he would rather kill her or kiss her. But Soren knows the forest better than anyone, and Astrid quickly realizes that she’ll need his help to rescue her grandmother. The deeper they venture into Tiveden, the closer Astrid gets to the cold, alluring Soren and the truth behind her grandmother’s disappearance. To save her home, a dark ritual must be performed before Midwinter—and only Astrid can fulfill her ancestor’s blood oath…or break it. That is, if Soren—or the forest—doesn’t break Astrid first.
