Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In eight short stories, travelers and locals become entangled in situations that send their moral compasses spinning. A grieving American father visits Dharamsala to investigate the murder of the son he's never understood and finds himself delving into the mystery of the young man's life. A Turkish-Cypriot teacher is tasked with making an inventory of household goods in an occupied tourist resort the inhabitants have fled. A Greek sculptor whose marriage is failing covers for a student from the US who, instead of learning the art, engages in an affair. A Buddhist nun enlists the help of a Peace Corps worker to kill a suffering dog. A wannabe eco-activist in Kentucky writes confessional letters to Boyan Slat, the young CEO of The Ocean Cleanup. A woman in a Rajasthan tourist caravan bears helpless witness to a dire culture clash. As Closson Buck's characters encounter circumstances that challenge their understanding of themselves and the world around them, they are forced to negotiate fallout stemming from religious dogma, environmental crisis, and political violence. Ranging from fabulism to realism, the stories in The Dalai Lama's Smile invite us to explore the perils and the possibilities that come from engaging the unknown.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Infused with Mediterranean landscapes, the poems of Litanies Near Water, Paula Closson Buck's second collection, probe the world through language that acts sometimes like a divining rod and sometimes like a lightning rod. Elegant meditative lyrics such as ""You Cannot Love the Wind"" and ""Theory of an Impersonal God"" answer to politically alert poems like ""Monk Killed by Tractor in Bid to Dodge Police."" Ultimately, in Buck's deft hand, the lyrical quest for understanding becomes a form of diplomacy between the physical and the metaphysical, between instances of beauty and the violence that threatens daily. From Last Days: ""The waiter unbuttonshis white shirt briskly, // pulls until it billowsand the tails fly free, // then wipes the tables clean. // I am driving the mountain road // behind a farmer's pickup. // One cow rides supine in the back; // from the two who straddle her, // thrown on the curves, a rearleg splays out over the bed. // I lay on the horn, follow at a distance. // I weep, I linger these last days, // knowing what I know. // On a jag of sadness // for things that happen once // or not at all, or that never should, // I am eating with the lights off, // the crush of jasmine // so sweet I can't think straight. Infused with Mediterranean landscapes, the poems of Litanies Near Water, Paula Closson Buck's second collection, probe the world through language that acts sometimes like a divining rod and sometimes like a lightning rod.
