In this enriching collection of eleven interrelated essays, A Way of Working explores the ancient relationship of art, order, and craft. Craft is considered as a "sort of ark" for the transmission of real knowledge about being, and about our deep creative aspirations. The book includes contributions from D. M. Dooling, Joseph Cary, Paul Jordan-Smith, Michael Donner, Harry Remde, Jean Kinkead Martine, Jean Sulzberger, Chanit Roston, and P. L. Travers. This group of authors write not as individuals but as members of a community — a guild effort. As one chapter heading put it: the alchemy of craft.

Leaning on the Moment: Interviews from Parabola

In the first twenty years of hs life Jacques Lusseyran was faced with two of the darkest of all human fates: he was physically blinded at the age of eight and ten years later suffered ll the worst horrors of human evil in a Nazi concentration camp. From each of these experiences was born an intensity of light and joy that took him beyond the darkness while never rejecting the outer facts. We who have eyes and yet are blind in so many other ways may read and rejoice in his vision. - Helen M. Luke

In this provocative study, Helen M. Luke takes the reader on an intense spiritual and symbolic journey. Beginning with the "dark wood," which the pilgrim must go through to find his path, Luke explores each of Dante's poetic images, down to the "white rose," the final emblem of joy and regeneration. This new edition is richly illustrated with reproductions in black and white of medieval manuscript paintings inspired by Dante's masterpiece.
