Nestled deep within the ancient soul of India, a whispering drum assumes the role of storyteller, unfurling the spiritual journey of a damsel. "Parchment Whispers" extends an invitation to readers, urging them to embark on an exploration of the poet Andal's path, where richness and depth await in the folds of everyday existence. Through Andal's verses, simplicity intertwines with profound significance, guiding readers along pathways illuminated by the principles of dharma, infusing the ordinary with divine essence. Each echo of the drum resonates with the great poet’s profound spiritual connection, gradually revealing the expanse of the spiritual universe and underscoring the significance of even the smallest beings. In her interpretation of Andal's Thiruppavai, the author marvels at the poet's adeptness in using a familiar bridal vow as a conduit to delve into and demystify esoteric realms. Through this shared tradition, Andal beckons readers to transcend human constructs, entering a world beyond imagination, while affirming the accessibility of the boundless spirit. As the tapestry of whispers unfolds, guided by rhythmic drumbeats, readers are drawn into the intricate layers of ancient wisdom. Witness the girls’ initial step, rooted in the familiar local tradition of the bridal vow, only to discover the expansive depths that lie beyond, offering a richer understanding of imbuing the Divine to enjoy, experience, and navigate the complexities of everyday life.

When Silas House made his debut with Clay's Quilt last year, it touched a nerve not just in his home state (where it quickly became a bestseller), but all across the country. Glowing reviews-from USA Today (House is letter-perfect with his first novel), to the Philadelphia Inquirer (Compelling. . . . House knows what's important and reminds us of the value of family and home, love and loyalty), to the Mobile Register (Poetic, haunting), and everywhere in between-established him as a writer to watch. His second novel won't disappoint. Set in 1917, A PARCHMENT OF LEAVES tells the story of Vine, a beautiful Cherokee woman who marries a white man, forsaking her family and their homeland to settle in with his people and make a home in the heart of the mountains. Her mother has strange forebodings that all will not go well, and she's right. Vine is viewed as an outsider, treated with contempt by other townspeople. Add to that her brother-in-law's fixation on her, and Vine's life becomes more complicated than she could have ever imagined. In the violent turn of events that ensues, she learns what it means to forgive others and, most important, how to forgive herself. As haunting as an old-time ballad, A PARCHMENT OF LEAVES is filled with the imagery, dialect, music, and thrumming life of the Kentucky mountains. For Silas House, whose great-grandmother was Cherokee, this novel is also a tribute to the family whose spirit formed him.

The encounter leads her to the realm of Under, where the air breathes rot, and the fair folk dance and whisper. Where she discovers that the man she helped is actually a god: Zephyrus, the West Wind, Bringer of Spring. There are few Brielle can trust in Under, least of all Zephyrus. He is charming, dangerously so, and never has a man so thoroughly ensnared her. As she embarks on a journey through the eerie banks and caves of Under, Brielle finds herself in a perilous situation.

Poetry can be understood as meaningful words on canvas. Children can see the world in unique ways with their interpretations of life, happiness, hope, justice, and love. A child poet can bring innocence yet inspire us with unanticipated wisdom to understand the unseen connections and beauty all around us. As Armaan Singh reminds us in his poem: We continue to look outside for knowledge Never to see ourselves True wisdom comes from your soul Not the books on our shelves We try to fly on others wings Not daring to take off on your own The blind men see what most of the seeing can not They face their own soul and then write the plot In this wonderful collection of poems, we are invited to ponder, reflect, and reimagine. But ultimately, we are asked to rethink how communities can regain their commitment and regard for one another and work toward making the world a better place for the upcoming generation.
