In the spring of 2019, I embarked on my inaugural journey to Nepal, having been invited by a photojournalist friend following the last-minute withdrawal of one of his fellow photographers. Eagerly seizing the opportunity, I found myself captivated by Nepal's allure the moment I touched down in Kathmandu. As an artist, I was enthralled by the ancient culture's profound reverence for the arts and how deeply intertwined the artwork was with their spiritual beliefs.After spending several weeks immersing myself in the rich tapestry of Nepal, I returned home with the aspiration to revisit and document the remarkable things I had encountered. A subsequent conversation with friends and filmmakers Daniel Driensky and Sarah Reyesof Exploredinary in Dallas resulted in an agreement to collaboratively return and produce a documentary highlighting the traditional artists of Nepal.Fate played its part, swiftly aligning the pieces, and in early 2020, My wife Jennifer, Daniel and Sarah found ourselves back in Nepal, filming our recently completed feature-length documentary titled "Art Is Love: Nepal." Throughout our travels, we documented the stories of artists and the sacred art of Nepal.Our journey took us through the bustling streets of Kathmandu, the ancient city of Bhaktapur, Pashupatinath Temple, the iconic Boudhanath and Swayambhunath Stupas, the lakeside city of Pokhara, and some of the remote villages of the Himalayas. We sincerely hope you enjoy this collection of photos, captured by Jennifer and me during breaks between filming sessions and interviews with other artists. It seemed only fitting to complement these images with some of our favorite quotes from Eastern teachers, some of whom undoubtedly inspired the very artists responsible for the masterpieces adorning this beautiful country.

The Vampyre, a possessor of many names and collector of many lives, has been fretting over the phenomenon for some time. A laughable fear, for he is one of those canny cadaverous few who made a deal for perpetual resurrection. The bitten may crumble, but the bargainer can rise from death after death. So he reminds himself. So he worries is no longer the case. Not when the boyar in the Carpathians was one of the first to vanish. Still, the monster from the mountains may simply be in hiding, just as the rest of the bargainers must be. The Vampyre convinces himself of this for a single night...before the monster called Quinn Morse makes itself known.

How can seasonal gardening, landscape maintenance, and growing more than a few berry bushes simultaneously be a psychological bane and balm? The contrast seems especially odd for someone who has dabbled extensively in horticulture for decades. Yet it's so true. Much like that addictive and daft sport called pickleball, a leisurely and seemingly healthy "putter in the garden" can become an all-consuming lifestyle. However, I'm not talking about authentic farmers or Amish folk, for whom toiling in the soil is both vocation and sustenance. No, I'm speaking of the white-collar professional who, although ambivalent toward self-grown edible plants as a youth, now fancies himself a fervent grower of fruits and veggies. One who becomes frequently frustrated and obsessed with results instead of appreciating the physical and mental benefits of "the growing process." Fresh berries and vegetables are fine, but it's the body and mind that benefit the most from digging in the dirt! Anyway, let's dig in and explore these plant-based, juxtapositional tales. And as always, most names and places have been altered so as not to overtly embarrass anyone, plants included. Hopefully you will find the stories within the following pages to be humorous and you will laugh along with me. Maybe at me as well!

Danny Shaw's This is Genocide! Forty-eight poems for Gaza is a cry of indignation against the extermination campaign the world is watching play out in what is left of Palestine. The poet asks why are we - the underdog, the oppressed, the occupied, the colonized, the Global Palestinian Family and the vast global majority - on the defensive when recent history and the truth is clearly anti-Zionist? The poetry book begins with an extensive introduction "Palestine vs. The Capitalist World" which uses the Marxist method to evaluate the powerful forces which have contracted since 1948 in an attempt to exterminate the indigenous Arab nation. Part II., "October 7th The Children of the Craters," is an epic poem composed of forty-eight stanzas which offers a different historical and spiritual view of what happened on that Saturday and what it means for humanity. The forty-eight poems that follow are kryptonite to the Zionist and capitalist apologists for this ongoing genocide. Shaw takes on the liberals and conservatives and their main pundits for their hypocrisy and silence over the past four months as the children of Palestine are disappeared by the thousands. The final section is a syllabus which the professor and the Midwestern Marx Institute have used to teach the anti-colonial history of Palestine since October 7th. Endorsements: "Danny Shaw knows resistance to imperialism when he sees it, Haiti to Angola, Louisiana to Gaza. And he knows liberalism when he sees it, New York to London to Tel Aviv. His is the tradition of Robeson, Brecht, Gary Hicks."Wadi'h Halabi, Communist Party USA, Palestinian refugee, former Gaza resident, student of the material basis for revolutionary optimism today "Was October 7th a 'terrorist attack' or a prison break?" With this simple yet profound question, Danny Shaw, in his brilliant book of poetry and prose, This is Genocide! Forty-eight Poems for Gaza, lands the issue of Palestinian liberation on its proper dialectical/historical ground. This book is a must read for anyone who not only wants to know more about the crimes committed by imperialism against the heroic people of Palestine, but also wants to see more vividly the human side of this ongoing tragedy."Bahman Azad, President, United States Peace Council "A masterful exposition of revolutionary art that serves and enlightens humanity on the most consequential affair of our era." -Carlos L. Garrido, Director Midwestern Marx Institute "Danny Shaw gives a voice to the anger and despair that so many of us in the West have felt while witnessing Israel's genocide in Gaza through our phones."Edward Liger Smith, Director Midwestern Marx Institute "Authored by seasoned political organizer, journalist and scholar Danny Shaw, 'This is Genocide!', provides a poignant and historically rooted reflection on the ongoing imperialist-zionist genocide in Gaza. This powerful book of original poetry represents a lyrical rebellion against the imperialist-zionist genocide in Gaza and the ruling class propaganda that justifies and normalizes it. Shaw unveils the stark realities of zionist settler colonial violence and dispossession in Palestine, drawing parallel threads with historical anti-colonial struggles. With verses that echo the spirit of resistance, this book serves as an urgent call to readers, encouraging them to question, resist, and stand against the normalization of oppression, envisioning a world liberated from the shackles of zionism and imperialism." - Dr. Corinna Mullin, lecturer and an ESRC Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Politics and International Studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS).

The Lost Trimester is... a book for every woman who has felt alone, in a time she should have felt surrounded. Created in hopes that these words can help them navigate their grief by guiding them to lean into the parts that brought them to their healing voyage, so that one day they'll know sorrow and happiness can coexist in a bruised heart. Purposely curated in a linear narrative, The Lost Trimester takes the reader on an empathetic journey through the emotional roller coaster of conceiving and pregnancy loss, for a raw inside look at the physical and mental pain it causes. These poems are just as vulnerably ugly as they are beautiful and alleviating. Page by page, Williams is exposing society for stigmatizing an inevitable part of life while creating a space for an open dialogue about pregnancy loss. Her diary-like writing style adds a relatable touch, shedding light on the feelings of others during an unwanted but shared female experience.

Based on a guideline for spiritual growth from a poet of the Spanish-Jewish diaspora a thousand years ago, Fountain is a fanciful contemporary commentary on Sources. The book is divided into six phases: Silence, Listening, Remembering, Practicing, Teaching, and Gratitude. The writer is a poet and rabbi playing with voices and languages that reflect a movement toward inter-culturalism and creativity based on antecedents -- our teachers, influences, and inspirations -- what they have left us, how we might honor them, how they have taught us.
