THE MORE WE GET TOGETHER is a blueprint for communication, whether we're looking to speak more gently to our friends, more compassionately to our coworkers, or more romantically to our lovers, the writing and speaking goals we learn throughout this book bring us closer, more in tune with our fellow travelers in a complicated world. Just as Robert McDowell's POETRY AS SPIRITUAL PRACTICE has become a beloved inspirational companion, THE MORE WE GET TOGETHER offers an original practice of poetry, journaling, and storytelling that makes all of the connections between sex, language, love, and spirituality. By discovering our own unique stories through each other, spiritual practice, and the heroic act of writing, we can take our relationships and the work we do to new levels of evolved and healing consciousness. "This treasure of a book--the culled wisdom of a lifetime gathered and lovingly offered to us-- should be required reading in high schools and everywhere else. Why aren't we taught how to be loving partners and listeners? I wanted to absorb this book into my skin. Memorize it. Take notes on every nugget of wisdom folded into the pages. McDowell believes that today's awake man wants what today's awake woman wants, and that language--especially poetry--is the key to relationships that are vibrant with divine spiritual practice, inventive playfulness and abiding love. The writing prompts (McDowell calls them writing play) that end each chapter are designed to inspire poetry, journaling, love, and connections. McDowell's references are intriguing and wide-ranging (Temple Grandin and cows, modern movies, Sappho, Pablo Neruda, baseball, mythology, Dr. Jean Houston, and so much more), and all are combined and distilled with the ear and insight of a poet. Reading this brilliant, honest and inspiring book may be a lifesaving experience." ---Susan Wooldridge, author of poemcrazy: freeing your life with words. "Poetry exposes me to a different way of experiencing the world. I instantly translate the poems into pictures. I can see fields of grain or rain in Autumn. It is fascinating to see all the patterns and rhythms that can be woven into language. I always enjoy learning about the different ways that other people think of and experience the world." --Temple Grandin, author of Thinking in Pictures "McDowell weaves you and the Beloved into a wise song that lifts us all. It's about waking up and looking into the eyes you desire. It's about waking up, but not alone." --Jean Gendreau

In this her second collection of poetry, Galer writes from the shadow of illness but also from the perspective of spiritual empowerment. As shaman and survivor she shares her awareness of the larger conditions of the earth, asks us as caretakers of not only ourselves but of the planet, to tread gently and always in the steps of truth as the ancestors would have wanted. Generous, forgiving, and thoughtful, her poems call us to assess our position in the universe and move forward. Spellbinding and demanding, Galer explores healing and destiny with a clear eye.

What the Raven Said

Two women met over a decade ago online in a writing class. They have never met in person, never spoken on the phone, by zoom or Facetime, but always kept in touch via email. They found themselves deepening their writerly friendship with a shared sense of humor, and respect for one another's work, daily confidences-during times of stress, times of joy, the mundane and the ridiculous-recounting every aspect of their very different lives. The singular yet powerful element of the pandemic shifted what was a general back and forth email friendship into a serious consideration of the narrowed world outside two writer's windows. As the letter-writers watched their own small world, they also began to wonder, taking more careful note of the daily habits of the wildlife around their homes. Questions arose, theories put forth; but always present was a sense of wonder and delight in learning the cycle of life offered before them. Whether as mundane as the canny squirrel on the wire, or as breathtaking and heartening as a new fawn being presented to the house, there was always something to write about. These moments soothed human fears and frustrations- the pandemic, the politics, the responsibility and guilt that burdens the human mind; but also gave space for humor, for deepening friendship, and the profound thoughtfulness and reflection that comes from observing the natural world. The singular yet powerful element of the pandemic shutdown shifted what was a general back and forth email friendship into a serious consideration of nature just outside two writers' windows. This is the natural history of a year of friendship in letters.
