The Moment: Wild, Poignant, Life-Changing Stories from 125 Writers and Artists Famous & Obscure

The turning points, revelations, epiphanies, dramatic changes, the opening or closing of a door—in a life, a career, a love—can occur in a single glorious, terrible, unpredictable, serendipitous, crucial, calamitous, chaotic, amazing . . . Moment. The creators of the enormously popular Not Quite What I Was Planning and Six-Word Memoir series now offer stories of the Moment—the one-time chances, unexpected coincidences, and sudden catastrophes that made all the difference in the story of one life. The results are triumphant, outrageous, heartwarming, heartbreaking, embarrassing, illuminating, and inspiring—life-changing moments from contributors Dave Eggers, Diane Ackerman, Elizabeth Gilbert, Bill Ayers, Jennifer Egan, A. J. Jacobs, Judy Collins, and many more.

Neil Shepard
(T)ravel/Un(t)ravel: Poems

As the title implies, this fourth collection of poetry by Neil Shepard is about travel and stasis, journeying to and sojourning in such far-flung places as French Polynesia, Indonesia, and China, as well as in more familiar environs such as England, France, and Spain. As the parentheses of the title suggest, it’s also about the unraveling of identity as a traveler crosses boundaries, tries to make sense of new languages and lifestyles, and loses his cultural bearings, Finally, it’s about the reintegration (or raveling) of identity, as the traveler stops long enough in some foreign place to regain his bearings, integrate new cultural information, and make it feel like some semblance of ‘home.’
