Bøker utgitt av David W. Berner

This newly revised edition of the five-star reviewed The Consequence of Stars includes a new introduction and two new essays from award-winning author David W. Berner.The Consequence of Stars is a memoir-in-essays--a mosaic of the experience of searching for one's place in the world. Writer David W. Berner recalls a solo and revealing cross-country train ride, a spiritual awakening in the Navajo Nation, performs music with Jack Kerouac groupies at the writer's former Florida home, and hunts for the ghost of Hemingway in the attic of the famous writer's birthplace home. He revisits his parent's lifelong love affair with their hometown and one another despite life-threatening odds and sets out to build a Thoreau-like writer's shed, hoping to discover an artistic space and an artist's home. In the book's newest essays, he explores how a new life resurrects the spirit, and how creative longing produces a spiritual awakening.
