Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Steppingstones is Margaret Kogan's third book of poetry, bringing together haiku, tanka, and brief lyric poems shaped by close attention and a steady Zen practice.The poems move between the intimate and the expansive: climate change and public grief; a sapling surviving winter; sparrows, honeysuckle, rain, and fireflies; the changing body; memory, mortality, and fifty-nine years of marriage. Brooklyn streets and Prospect Park become places of observation and practice, where ordinary life is considered alongside suffering, impermanence, humor, and love.Throughout the collection, Kogan asks what a poem can do in dark times. Her answer is to keep paying attention-to what changes, what passes, what remains, and what makes a shared life. Direct and spare, Steppingstones is a meditation on presence, companionship, and the daily practice of being alive. Pierson, Sarah (illustrator).…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In No Witnesses, poet Margaret Kogan captures the haunting intersection of human despair and the indifferent, enduring beauty of the natural world. Written from the Rivertowns along the Hudson River, the collection lives in the shadow of the old Tappan Zee Bridge-a structure that long served as a tragic magnet for those seeking to end their lives. With profound empathy, Kogan dedicates this work to the souls who could not cross it.With sharp, unflinching observation, Kogan explores the stark contrast between the quiet instincts of animals and the restless, destructive craving of humanity. She guides readers through parallel universes: the 'peaceable kingdom' of creatures living their brief, unquestioning lives, and the heavy, regret-filled existence of humans walking on two legs. From the tragic slick of roadkill to the silent, tidal pull of the river, Kogan's verse is a testament to the unseen forces that rule us. No Witnesses is a deeply compassionate and grounded meditation on survival, loss, and the silent watchers that surround us in our darkest moments.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Sometimes, in the Afterwards is a stark and deeply moving exploration of grief, memory, and what remains in the wake of loss. Through precise and unflinching language, Mary Simmerling navigates the spaces between past and present, presence and absence, love and its aftermath. These poems are meditations on how memory lingers in the body, in landscapes, and in the smallest details of daily life. They do not offer easy resolutions, but instead invite the reader to sit with loss, to witness how it lingers in the body, in landscapes, in the smallest details of daily life. With clarity and restraint, Simmerling honors both the weight of sorrow and the quiet resilience that follows. For anyone who has grieved, Sometimes, in the Afterwards is a book that does not turn away-but instead stays, offering language to give voice to what so often feels unspeakable.Mary Simmerling's evocative book title, 'Sometimes, in the Afterwards' combines two central themes in her spare, thoughtful poems-momentary glimpses of chiaroscuro that emerge in shadowy presences of past. 'Incandescent water' is a central image that shimmers, mirrors, drowns, washes clean. A babe in the womb coming into the world as a sister leaves the world is a moving image that often rises to the surface. Birth/death, love/loss, light/dark glisten-'light penetrates the broken parts.' Nature is place of cruelty and solace-talon marks in snow, yet under 'old friends the pine boughs.' Each poem ponders relationships in time and liminal space, body wisdom, witness, wonder-each a moment 'of being/ and becoming,' full of gratitude despite duende-Each poem a star 'shining in the darkening/ winter sky.' - Kate Marshall Flaherty.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In Plain Sight is an urgent and hauntingly beautiful text, weaving together lyrical poetry, searing philosophical inquiry, legal critique, and personal narrative. Both uncommon in its beauty and profound in its insights, this book refuses complacency. Drawing on Charles W. Mills' groundbreaking framework of epistemologies of ignorance, Simmerling situates her work within a lineage of feminist theory while also engaging artistic and poetic practices as forms of resistance and critique. She unflinchingly examines the cultural, legal, and institutional forces that distort, silence, and suppress women's experiences of harm. Through rigorous analysis and poetic precision, In Plain Sight challenges the narratives that render gendered violence invisible, foregrounding voices long denied recognition. using poetry, philosophy, art, and psychology, she exposes how complicity, omission, and strategic ignorance perpetuate a crisis that is both pervasive and deliberately unseen. This book is a necessary intervention. It provides an alternative to what Simmerling identifies as a 'paucity of language,' offering words for experiences that have been erased or distorted-a language of recognition, accountability, and truth. Pierson, Sarah (illustrator).…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A luminous anthology born from Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer's Tuesday Circle poetry workshops, Meditations on Life gathers poems of grief, belonging, and renewal that remind us we are never alone.Across four sections-Gathering and Belonging, Loss, Remembering, and Grief, Transformation and Emergence, and Praise, Presence, and Spiritual Inquiry-sixteen poets trace the contours of living with sorrow, joy, and wonder. What emerges is not simply a collection of poems, but a communion: a circle of writers who dare to wrestle with what it means to be human and to share that truth in community.With honesty, vulnerability, and awe, these poets invite readers to join in their circle, where grief and gratitude, despair and praise, memory and hope exist alongside each other. Tender, authentic, and deeply resonant, Meditations on Life offers comfort and companionship for anyone navigating the fragility and beauty of being alive. Contributors include Thomas Amsberry, LeAnn Blackert, Heidi Bourne, Joni Brennan-Hazlett, Susan Gelber, Denise Jessup, Katey Largay, Paula Gordon Lepp, Robby Vorspan Lynch, Sue Mapel, Jerilyn Pelikan, Mary Simmerling, Tam Spielman, Emily Jane VandenBos Style, Angela Thomas, and Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer.I have never encountered such a soulful, heartfelt gathering of poems in one place. This collection, lovingly curated by Mary Simmerling, is the ultimate expression of this group's deep commitment to the healing power of connection. There is so much 'humanity/to harvest from each other's leaning in,' as Emily Style wisely points out in one piece, and reading this book, we can't help but lean in, too-toward ourselves, each other, and the world of loss and joy waiting all around.-James Crews, author of Turning Toward Grief and Breathing Room.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What does it mean to choose harm-for the sake of someone you love A mother offers a kidney to her son. A husband offers part of his liver to his wife. In the language of medical ethics, these are described as autonomous decisions: an individual weighs risks and benefits and consents. But anyone who has stood inside such a decision knows that this description is incomplete. The decision is not made at the point of consent. It emerges from commitments and relationships that precede it-love, obligation, responsibility, and the knowledge of what is at stake.In Choosing to Be Harmed, philosopher Mary Simmerling takes up one of the most difficult problems in contemporary bioethics: how to understand decisions in which one person knowingly accepts risk, and even harm, for the sake of another. Using living organ donor transplantation as a case study, she shows that the dominant frameworks used to evaluate these decisions are not only incomplete, but structurally misaligned with the reality they are meant to describe.Modern bioethics has centered autonomy as the foundation of decision-making. Within this model, individuals are understood to act independently, weighing risks and benefits and choosing freely. But in the context of living donation, this model begins to break down. Risks and benefits are distributed across persons. Decisions are made within relationships defined by attachment, obligation, and urgency. Emotion is treated as a distortion, even as it clarifies what matters most.Simmerling argues that this framework fails in several critical ways. It excludes the risks of inaction-what is borne when one does not act. It collapses meaningful distinctions between coercion and commitment. It mischaracterizes emotion as a threat to rationality rather than a condition of it. And it overlooks the ways structural inequalities-race, class, gender, and access to care-shape who is able to give, and at what cost.Those who present as donors do not arrive as isolated decision-makers. They arrive embedded in relationships, histories, and material conditions that shape both what they can choose and what those choices mean. To treat their decisions as if they were made in isolation is not to protect them. It is to misunderstand them.Originally written as a doctoral dissertation and returned to twenty years later, Choosing to Be Harmed brings together rigorous philosophical analysis and lived experience. It offers a relational account of autonomy that takes seriously the realities of love, obligation, and loss, and calls for a rethinking of how ethical decision-making in medicine is understood when it cannot be reduced to a model.This is a book for clinicians, ethicists, and philosophers. It is also a book for anyone who has faced a decision that could not be made on a worksheet-and knew it.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Architecture of Impunity is a forensic audit of the systems that normalize violence against women and girls. Moving from language through culture and into law, medicine, media, and the highest courts, Mary Simmerling examines how predation is softened, disguised, administratively absorbed, and made to appear ordinary.Blending case files, cultural criticism, poetry, and visual documentation, this book traces the structures that protect perpetrators and the institutions that enable them: the grammar of objectification, the laundering power of prestige, the politics of disbelief, governmental immunity, and the systems of silencing and erasure that make violence harder to name and easier to excuse.This is not a book about isolated incidents or individual bad actors. It is about architecture. It is about how harm is normalized before it is recognized, how credibility is dismantled before accountability begins, and how women and girls are too often left to carry both the original violence and the punishment of not being believed.Drawing on her work as a philosopher, poet, curator of survivor-centred public installations, and survivor, Mary Simmerling pioneers what she calls investigative moral philosophy: a hybrid method that brings together documentary record, cultural analysis, poetic witness, and curated visual evidence to examine how impunity is built and sustained in plain sight.At once literary, philosophical, and investigative, The Architecture of Impunity offers a new lexicon for understanding modern predation and the mechanisms that scaffold, normalize, and sustain it. …
