Contradictions begins with a commitment to the local environment as an imaginative habitat, then explores traditions of art-making and spiritual belief, and then turns to the living tradition of Taoism as a source of wisdom. History-familial, social, and cultural-is present at moments in the book, providing contexts in which spiritual and political questions interanimate and converge.

Описание: Poetry. "Yeats said, 'There is a second world but it is in this one.' Reading THE THRESHOLD OF LIGHT, I have a deeper feeling for what he means. These poems, in their exquisite simplicity, in their love and kindness, make sacred ground of daily experience, relationships and the natural world. In his poem 'Spring' Glaser writes, 'And she invites you into your own heart.' Entering there is how Yeats' second world blossoms into blessing."--John Fox, Founder of The Institute for Poetic Medicine "If ever a book found words for cosmic energy, it's THE THRESHOLD OF LIGHT. 'Light' becomes the dynamic force here; and in this sallow time in history we need this book more than ever. To live at the highest level of human thought is to refresh language; and Glaser shows that our ordinary daily acts are divine ones. This poetry blesses every day, and us, with its descriptions."--Grace Cavalieri, The Poet and the Poem from The Library of Congress "In this lovely collection, Glaser notices the way each glimmer of light dignifies: the curve of his wife's back, the 'fluid and flux' of fog, the way his daughter's eyes 'stare off at the large oak / unleaving...'. Glaser's own gaze gives off such brightness it illuminates simple things & the life of the spirit equally, making of each charged moment a kind of grace."--Rick Benjamin, State Poet Laureate of Rhode Island (2012-2016)

Описание: The shocking truth about postwar adoption in America, told through the bittersweet story of one teenager, the son she was forced to relinquish, and their search to find each other. During the Baby Boom in 1960s America, women were encouraged to stay home and raise large families, but sex and childbirth were taboo subjects. Premarital sex was common, but birth control was hard to get and abortion was illegal. In 1961, sixteen-year-old Margaret Erle fell in love and became pregnant. Her enraged family sent her to a maternity home, and after she gave birth, she wasn't even allowed her to hold her own son. Social workers threatened her with jail until she signed away her parental rights. Her son vanished, his whereabouts and new identity known only to an adoption agency that would never share the slightest detail about his fate. Claiming to be acting in the best interests of all, the adoption business was founded on secrecy and lies. American Baby lays out how a lucrative and exploitative industry removed children from their birth mothers and placed them with hopeful families, fabricating stories about infants' origins and destinations, then closing the door firmly between the parties forever. Adoption agencies and other organizations that purported to help pregnant women struck unethical deals with doctors and researchers for pseudoscientific assessments, and shamed millions of women into surrendering their children. Gabrielle Glaser dramatically demonstrates the power of the expectations and institutions that Margaret faced. Margaret went on to marry and raise a large family with David's father, but she never stopped longing for and worrying about her firstborn. She didn't know he spent the first years of his life living just a few blocks away from her; as he grew, he wondered about where he came from and why he was given up. Their tale--one they share with millions of Americans--is one of loss, love, and the search for identity. Adoption's closed records are being legally challenged in states nationwide. Open adoption is the rule today, but the identities of many who were adopted or who surrendered a child in the postwar decades are locked in sealed files. American Baby illuminates a dark time in our history and shows a path to reunion that can help heal the wounds inflicted by years of shame and secrecy.
