Brendan Walsh’s Make Anything Whole is crafted from the best facets of both travel writing and the poetry of place. Among these pages, readers find the estranged familiarity of coming back to one's home and country after traveling abroad. Taking us on the road as he experiences Laos, Korea, and then re-experiences the United States, Walsh chronicles the characters he meets along the way and ultimately discovers that you can take home with you wherever you go. His life-affirming experiences are set against a backdrop of interactions told through the sociological poetic eye.

"The Boy and the Crow" is the gripping, fast-paced story of 16-year-old big city gang member, Daniel Cagney. Convicted of a crime in juvenile court, he is sentenced to spend a year’s probation on the Vermont farm of his grandparents, whom he has not seen for many years. From the moment he arrives at the farm, Danny struggles to adjust to his new life on foreign turf. He continues to believe that it is only a matter of time before he escapes to the city, but a young crow, which he almost kills one day, “conspires” to change his mind. Under his grandparents’ watchful eyes, Danny begins to resist the pull of the ghetto that he has left behind. He meets a beautiful girl who accepts him for who he is, but her zealous father wants him out of his daughter’s life for good. To make matters worse, Danny soon becomes the target of local bullies and the county sheriff. Then, his fellow gang members come calling.

For Those Who Can't: The Story of the First U.S. North-South Bicycle Record

A NEW WORLD RECORD FOR MENTAL HEALTH. 
On September 30th, 2019, I left on a journey down the Atlantic Coast of the United States. From Madawaska, Maine, on the border of Canada to the southernmost point Key West, Florida, I rode for 11 days, 9 hours, and 33 minutes, covering 2,288 miles and set a new Guinness World Record for the Fastest Crossing of America by Bicycle (North to South). A month before the original start date I was hit by a car, totaling my bike and leaving me with a long list of injuries including a torn meniscus and concussion. 
While cycling 17+ hours a day my epic adventure had me facing extreme weather, multiple attempted robberies and dark suppressed memories. This story tells of massive triumphs in both body and mind, all for a very important cause: The National Alliance on Mental Illness. 
I’ve lost multiple friends to the terrible disease called depression, all while being anxiety ridden and suffering with it myself. Through endurance sports like cycling, I have found a better version of myself. This is my attempt to give back to the ultra-endurance community I have gained so much from. My hope is to inspire others to ride, run, swim, ski, and hike their ways to a clearer, happier life. You are not alone in life’s journey!
