Authors are routinely advised to write about that which they know, and so, accordingly, my first toe dip into the world of poetry, "Songs from the Heartland," focused on family stories, absurdities to which the response "you think too much" could be understood and forgiven, and frustration with the world around me - topics with which I am intimately familiar. (Maybe I'll someday write a poem about run-on sentences.) This second collection focuses the mind in a way that "Songs" never did (although there are still elements of lore, tangential thoughts, and irksome behavior).The prologue recognizes the duality of the Midwest, with each section expanding on that duality by exploring the temptation and temperance; the depravity and discipline; the passion and patience; the bluster and balance that tenuously coexist.The first section delves into the world of bad decisions, their consequences, and the sometimes understandable resentment that develops as a reaction to those consequences. The second section meditates on the enlightenment available to those willing to seek it in themselves and in those around them.Together, these two themes - let's call them Solipsism and Stoicism - combine to inform the fatalism that comes from necessarily relying on the inherently unreliable whims of nature, forging a dichotomy of attitude that maintains sanity in an always unpredictable world.The epilogue memorializes the social contract between the individual and the community regarding that relationship.

The story "Thief" begins: "When my mother removed her shirt in front of third-period honors English, I was in the classroom next door taking a test." Her reason --her students were reading The Awakening and she had stopped taking her medication. The battle against self-destruction, the struggle to transform loss into meaning, and the difficulty of connecting with others, especially those closest to our hearts, are part of what make up these beautifully crafted and, in turns, incisively humorous and deeply wrenching stories. In the title story, a man who transports organs for transplants breaks in a trainee and ruminates on his sometimes futile life-and-death existence. In "Dog Lover," a son has a quiet but smoldering battle of wills with his blind Vietnam-vet father over the fate of their dying dog. In "Sadness of the Body," an adolescent boy spends a deliriously hot summer with his alcoholic uncle and the uncle's young girlfriend, and observes the sometimes surreal schism between the body and the mind. Brown plumbs the hearts and minds of characters trying to make sense of their lives. He is a new and exquisitely talented voice in American fiction.

This superbly written and finery argued philosophical essay has potentially revolutionary importance for understanding "human consciousness, " and its author has accordingly been celebrated by the likes of Oliver Sachs and Karl Pribram. Showing the relevance of neuropathology for understanding the unifying processes behind perception, memory, and language, Jason Brown offers an exciting new approach to the mind/brain problem, freely crossing the boundaries of neurophysiology, psychology, and philosophy of mind. Hard science and the study of the nature of mind (including Buddhist perspectives) come together in new ways, and without advocating the reductionist "computational model" for the mind/brain relation which dominates cognitive science today.Brown finds that every event in conscious life passes through highly determinate stages in a fraction of a second. These repeat both the stages of individual growth and of the evolution of the species: Not only does ontogeny recapitulate phylogeny, but the emergence of every moment of awareness recapitulates them both. This process begins deep in the brain stem with the mere awareness of duration, proceeds through concept-formation and image selection, and terminates with the apprehension of an object in the external world. The external object acts as a realistic constraint on consciousness. But in conditions such as brain damage, dream, meditation, as well as creativity, the preconscious stages enter into direct awareness, giving us explicit glimpses of developmental and evolutionary process and presenting a startling reversal of common ideas about the development of mind. Concept and image do not derive from perception and sensation, theycome first. And the principle of consciousness, rather than being a latecomer on the evolutionary and developmental scene, is a potentiality throughout.This lucidly written book will not disappoint the many readers concerned with the great frontier of scientific exploration -- the nature of consciousness.

Divided into two parts, the book provides a structural understanding of the context in which cross-cultural counseling takes place, and a model, informed by intersectional analysis, to support counselors in playing a more activist role in helping to change that context.
