In this inspiring book of divine discovery, poet and seeker Arundhathi Subramaniam gives us a glimpse into the lives of four self-contained, unapologetic female spiritual travelers. “among the finest pieces of spiritual truth-telling literature I have ever read…a book to savor and celebrate”—Mirabai Starr, author of Wild Mercy and Ordinary Mysticism“As the pages turn one feels a growing sense of shared humanity, even kinship with these extraordinary practitioners of the sacred”—Tim Parks, author of&nbsp;Teach Us to Sit Still: A Skeptic’s Search for Health and HealingIn life, spiritual paths are often as unique as we are. Bringing together the voices of four women mystics walking very different spiritual paths, poet Arundhathi Subramaniam reveals the expansive potential of forging an intimate, personal connection with the divine. We'll meet these four travelers:<ul><li>Sri Annapurani Amma, who left the safety of home to follow the summons of a long-dead saint and chooses to live naked,</li><li>Balarishi Vishwashirasini, a nada yoga teacher who became a guru as a child and admits she's missed out on a real childhood,</li><li>Maa Karpoori, who needed to resist pressure to marry, and found her calling in a local yoga class and now radiates fierce independence and the contagious joy of living, and</li><li>Lata Mani, who discovered tantra after a major accident left her with a brain injury and today talks of how the spiritual life is deeply anchored in the wisdom of the body—not unlike the redwood trees of her adopted home.</li></ul>Sensitive, insightful, and lyrical, Women Who Wear Only Themselves bathes us in divine love and invites us to connect with all that sparks our spiritual fire.

Four Travelers on Their Sacred Journeys

Women Who Wear Only Themselves

How is a person changed by commitment to their passion, and how does their commitment change over time? These are questions that esteemed climber Sonnie Trotter asks as he reflects on the most thrilling adventures of his sport and his life.2025 is Sonnie Trotter’s 30th year climbing. He’s been at the forefront of the sport for most of that time, specializing in first ascents on rock faces most people cannot imagine scaling. In Uplifted, Sonnie recounts the most memorable moments of his career, also describing the rich relationships that are the spine of the sport. In addition, he investigates the psyche that draws one to and then evolves during years of engaging with this uniquely challenging endeavor.&nbsp; From learning to climb in an ancient grain silo in southern Ontario, to mastering some of the hardest, tallest rock climbs on Earth, Sonnie shares entertaining but candid tales about life on the road, living in the dirt, overcoming obstacles, and changing within his sport. He writes as if he is sharing stories around the campfire at the end of a great day, evoking that feeling of being bone-tired but loving the camaraderie so much so that you don’t want to retire to your tent. He embodies a “humble masculinity” in what is perceived as a high-adrenaline, hard-charging sport, but reveals that climbing is very much about careful consideration, insightful reflection, and balancing challenge and risk.&nbsp;Sonnie speaks openly about how his attitude towards the risks climbing demands has shifted as he has aged and his life’s circumstances have altered. Now married with two young children, he describes how he has reconciled these parts of his life and his identity. This is a crossroads that many – whether from commitment to a sport or through other circumstances of life – have faced and will relate to.

Stories of Climbing with Friends in High Places

Uplifted

Nemonte's writing is as provocative as it is inspiring' EMMA THOMPSON 'One of the most effective leaders for indigenous rights and environmental justice' LAURENE POWELL JOBS 'I'm here to tell you my story, which is also the story of my people and the story of this forest.' Born into the Waorani tribe of Ecuador's Amazon rainforest, Nemonte Nenquimo was taught about plant medicines, foraging, oral storytelling, and shamanism by her elders. Age 14, she left the forest for the first time to study with an evangelical missionary group in the city. Eventually, her ancestors began appearing in her dreams, pleading with her to return and embrace her own culture. She listened. Two decades later, Nemonte has emerged as one of the most forceful voices in climate-change activism. She has spearheaded the alliance of indigenous nations across the Upper Amazon and led her people to a landmark victory against Big Oil, protecting over a half million acres of primary rainforest. Her message is as sharp as the spears that her ancestors wielded - honed by her experiences battling loggers, miners, oil companies and missionaries. In this astonishing memoir, she partners with her husband Mitch Anderson, founder of Amazon Frontlines, digging into generations of oral history, uprooting centuries of conquest, hacking away at racist notions of Indigenous peoples, and ultimately revealing a life story as rich, harsh and vital as the Amazon rainforest herself. More praise for We Will Not Be Saved: 'A radical manifesto for our times' VANESSA KIRBY 'An act of storytelling generosity' NATHALIE KELLY 'Inspiring, moving and unforgettable' ROWAN HOOPER 'Truly Inspiring and humbling' CAROLINE SANDERSON ** Publishing in the US as WE WILL BE JAGUARS**

The first memoir by an indigenous tribal leader in the Amazon, who fought Big Oil to preserve her tribe's territories, and thousands of acres of pristine rainforest.

The Storyteller

'This is a book about struggling to live as you are when there is no narrative for that person, no role to suit, no story for your story - and discovering that all along there was such a narrative, just never one you knew' Far from being a recent phenomenon, there have been countless brilliant lives and diverse cultures who have 'transed' gender all along, from the Wild West to Vichy France, to myriad non-Western cultures. In BOTH AND NEITHER Alex Marzano-Lesnevich rewrites into history those who've transed gender in a series of indelible portraits, that run alongside their own personal journey of identity, from living as a woman to eschewing the binary entirely. By bringing to life characters from the past and creating, on the page, an eclectic cross-historical community of gender defiance, Alex writes into existence the very community - the very history - that they themselves need. As they discover, the way we are seen is as crucial to identity as our own expression of it. In a contemporary expansion of gender, in a relentlessly binary culture like ours, how do you truly see and live beyond the binary? In BOTH AND NEITHER Alex proves the gender binary, which appears so concrete to us, to actually be a relatively recent construction. Alex's own testosterone-aided transition brings them to a place between - a new space of possibility - in a brilliantly interwoven text that, in interrogating the past, illuminates the future.
