✨NEW RELEASE✨

Happy pub day to our last 2024 title, AMBIGUITY & BELONGING: ESSAYS ON PLACE, EDUCATION, AND POETRY by Benjamin P. Myers. The second in our new Lookouts nonfiction series, this thought-provoking collection rooted to place is both timely and timeless--great for gifting or for keeping through the year.

In a new compilation of essays, Benjamin P. Myers articulates a well-rounded vision of a rooted life. Gathering critical observations about localism, liberal arts education, and contemporary poetics, Ambiguity and Belonging lays out the work necessary to live intentionally in one’s home, career, and vocation. With a unique perspective as a former state poet laureate, Myers intertwines personal reflections with close readings, poetry reviews, and cultural analysis, making these essays accessible to writers and educators interested in creating their own expressions of authentic community. Ideal for readers of Wendell Berry, Ambiguity and Belonging offers a stable way forward in an often-precarious time.

Happy pub day to LEAVES OF HEALING, the first book in our new Lookouts nonfiction series! Oriented around the liturgical year, Matt Miller's thoughtful essay collection is ideal reading as Advent approaches.

About the book: Matt Miller’s debut essay collection, Leaves of Healing: A Year in the Garden, journeys through the garden year and the church year together to uncover how life in both realms can help us rediscover our bodies and our sense of time, thereby helping us reach toward the sense of wholeness we all seek. Following the cycles of physical and liturgical seasons from a residential permaculture garden in the Ozarks, each meditation combines reflections on labor in the soil with investigations of spiritual insights into the paradoxically timeless yet time-rooted realities of our eternal souls.

✨COVER REVEAL✨

Introducing SECRET KEEPERS, the next book by Belle Point author Teresa Tumminello Brader: coming your way in March! Pre-orders are open now.

In Teresa Tumminello Brader’s follow-up to her New Orleans memoir, LETTING IN AIR AND LIGHT, SECRET KEEPERS expands the question of whether we can ever truly know our loved ones. This collection of character-driven short stories delves intimately into romantic and family relationships—some fractured, some fragile, all troubled by mysteries for which there may be no clear answers. One woman convinces herself of a husband’s affair that may or may not be imagined; other families struggle to rebuild amidst the wreckage of hurricanes and severed family ties. Compelling stories of betrayal and regret intertwine with thoughtful depictions of strong women seeking more authentic lives. Within the familiar world of South Louisiana, Brader’s characters navigate obsession, loss, and a tentative hope that some connections are still worth trying to keep.
