Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In this new collection of essays about living in the Northwest, Sanelli gives voice to the exquisite nuances of day-to-day life, as well as larger struggles we face, while always managing to leave us feeling less worried, certainly less alone, and much more hopeful. These relevant and frequently funny essays remind us that the simple act of paying attention to what happens around us (maybe put your phone down and look up?) can make a profound difference in how we view the world and ourselves. Sanelli has spent much of her writing career emphasizing what she believes -- that the most personal is the most universal. She writes on the basis of that. But even at her most serious, she never takes herself too seriously and what remains for the reader are insightful gems that shine light into the dark, as touching as they are wise.__________________________________________________________________________________"Sanelli writes with a voice that resonates with readers and neighbors. I hear often about how her topics seem to echo what's on someone's mind, telling stories with wit and charm that resonate in people's lives." -David Nelson, Editor, The Kitsap Sun "Sanelli's writing is warm and engaging. It's easy to relate our own relationships with hers." -Sno-Isle Libraries, Washington"Sanelli is an exceptional observer. Her writing is at once intellectually inviting and deeply personal." -The Seattle Weekly"Sanelli brings a welcome sense of the very human. Her essays are communal moments of grace and connection." -Rick Simonson, Elliott Bay Book Company "Sanelli's essays offer a sensitive look at life's tug-of-wars like those between age and time, male and female, place and belonging.'" -Knute Berger, Editor-at-large, Crosscut"Sanelli's writing is a fine mixture of literary nonfiction and memoir that often, and honestly, examines the act of writing itself." -The Stranger, Seattle. …

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. I know from my own experience that an evening spent tending my garden, after another incomprehensible day, brings a strength and calmness that no other activity can match. Is it the qualities associated with gardening, such as nurturing and the hard work of hands and heart, that are deficient in our culture? Much good writing has been done about the garden as a special place.Madeleine Wilde's woodland garden on the south slope of Seattle's Queen Anne Hill was more than a "special place." It was her Sanctuary, her prism through which she explored the world and accomplished "much good writing."For two decades, starting in the early 1990s, Madeleine's "Notes from the Garden" delighted readers of the Queen Anne & Magnolia News in Seattle. Here, in luminous prose, is the best of her work from those years, ranging from hands-on advice for gardeners and would-be gardeners to poetically charged, often wry, insights into life in the tradition of Thoreau.Madeleine, who died in 2018, has left us a book to savor from solstice to solstice. This is a book that gardeners and lovers of cooking, food and life well-lived will savor. It will also inspire fans of the personal essay and those interested in the cycle of the seasons and intentional living. The book is edited by her former publisher, Mike Dillon, illustrated with charming drawings by noted American architect and author Mark Hinshaw, and a foreword by Madeleine's husband David Streatfield, professor emeritus in the department of Landscape Architecture at the University of Washington. Hinshaw, Mark (illustrator).…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A fine-tuned, beautiful book that looks with a sharp eye and a generous spirit at one's sense of place as it was in the five years leading up to 2021. And as it is. Now.So much more than a collection of essays, this is a writer's soul laid bare. Filled with universal experience, every page reveals Sanelli's profound understanding of the strength and resilience of the human spirit.In Every Little Thing: Small Breakthroughs, Big Mistakes, Endless Lessons, Sanelli proves that a narrative essay can be wise and vulnerable and nail what matters most in our lives, all in the same breath. No one tells-truth with more heart, humor, and accountability. With a voice that speaks of life as it is everyday lived-with joy, calm, worry, and alarm-Sanelli manages to write lyrically in warm, accessible language. One can learn so much from a writer who, wherever she goes she takes her readers along with her, her experiences becoming theirs, as well. These writings will make you miss the Northwest even if you've never been there. Gliding on sentences smooth as stone with the brightness of the author's enthusiasm, this book will delight, challenge, reassure, and steer any reader toward a higher capacity to expand life's smallest moments into our grandest triumphs.…
