Later Life Letter
'A really remarkable, deeply moving book' RICHARD CURTIS'Utterly direct . . . The poems are passionate yet controlled, simple in form and sparing of imagery' FINANCIAL TIMES'Luke wright and this time it's personal. But seriously, a highly original idea, expertly carried out' JOHN COOPER CLARKE'I was bawling from the first page and gulped it down in one swift swallow' HOLLIE MCNISHWhat is a later life letter? Written by a child's social worker to be opened at an appropriate age, it details their journey from birth to adoption. When Luke Wright received his as a teenager, he didn't think much of it. But now, married to a social worker and seeing the care she takes with these letters, he re-examines his own past - and the life he might have had. Should he feel close to the biological brothers he knows only through social media? Do his beginnings in a notorious tower-block estate counteract the privilege of a sheltered suburban upbringing? How grateful should he be to adopted parents who are - in the end - simply parent? n this memoir in poetry, no emotion is simple or expected. Wright writes with pinpoint honesty, teasing out the nuances of family, memory and belonging, and illuminating the gaps in the familiar beats of an adoption story. 'When it comes to poetry, performing and family Luke Wright is a lifer. Read this book' LEMN SISSAY'Made me laugh, cry, think and shudder' PETE DOHERTY'Intimate and universal, epic and singular. Beautifully written' JOELLE TAYLOR'A genius poet - funny, profound, life-changing' JOHANN HARI

Living in Wonder
In 2018, at the end of a speech Rod Dreher gave in Genoa, an artist gave him an engraving by his own hand. In broken English, the artist explained that he was in his studio that afternoon when the Holy Spirit told him that he should come hear Rod Dreher, and give him a particular drawing of an obscure medieval saint. None of this made sense to Dreher until two years later, lost in depression and confusion, the saint - a Tuscan hermit named Galgano - appeared in Dreher's life again under circumstances that did not at all seem coincidental, sending Dreher on a search for God's will for his life. A lifetime of experiencing mystical events and collecting stories from others has solidified Dreher's Christian faith, and convinced him that God reveals himself to us all the time - but we in the modern West have lost our capacity to sense God's presence. How did this happen to us, but not to other peoples in the world? Can it be reversed? If so, ho? IVING IN WONDER tells the story of how the West became "disenchanted", and gives practical advice - based on history, cultural anthropology, and neuroscience, as well as the testimonies of monks of the ancient Church - on how to regain one's sense of wonder and awareness of the divine. Told through real-life stories of people who experienced miracles, visitations by saints and angels, and in some cases wrestled with demons, this book will open your mind to the reality that the material world is not all there is, and that God is not as silent and as elusive as you might think. You just need to learn how to see with clear eyes. Join Rod Dreher as he explores why 'contemporary' Christianity seems so empty, and why so many young people are walking away from it. He argues that the enchanted sacramental vision of the church of the first millennium is still true, only hidden, and that the experience of God is something that can happen to anyone - if they are willing to take the risk.

Játékgyűjtemény - a gyermekek érzelmi és társas fejlődéséhez
Az óvodapedagógusoknak és tanítóknak készült gyűjteményben olyan csoportos játékok találhatók, amelyekkel megkönnyíthetik a gyerekek számára a különféle érzelmek felismerését, megnevezését és kifejezését, valamint hozzájárulhatnak a harmonikus személyiségfejlődés és társas kapcsolódás alakításához.
A sokéves pedagógiai és pszichológiai tapasztalatokon és a gyerekek reakcióinak megfigyelésén alapuló játékos feladatok igazodnak a gyerekek életkori sajátosságaihoz, és egyaránt alkalmazhatók otthon, valamint az óvodában, iskolában is. Az érzelmekről szóló beszélgetések ,,mellékhatásai" - az együtt nevetés, a másik elfogadása, meghallgatása, megértése - szintén erősíthetők a kötetben található gyakorlatokkal. A gyerekek játékos formában tanulhatják meg, hogy milyen érzelmek léteznek, hogyan lehet ezeket az arckifejezések alapján azonosítani, megnevezni. A különböző szituációs játékokban személyes történetek is előkerülhetnek, ezek révén a gyerekek gyakorolhatják, hogy a másik szemével is ránézzenek egy-egy helyzetre, elfogadják a másik érzelmeit, érzéseit. A feladatok szem előtt tartják a differenciálást, és tippeket adnak arra is, hogyan tudjuk a gátlásos vagy kevesebbet beszélő gyerekeket is bevonni a közös tevékenységbe anélkül, hogy rosszul éreznék magukat. A szerzők az egyes játékoknál leírják, hogyan alkalmazhatók otthoni környezetben, testvérekkel akár, vagy kétszemélyes, szülő-gyerek helyzetben.
Az egyes játékok alkalmasak a szókincsbővítésre, a szövegértés, a kommunikáció, a mozgáskordináció, a kooperáció fejlesztésére; iskolai környezetben kapcsolódnak például a magyar nyelv és irodalom, ének-zene és az etikaórához is, valamint a tanórán kívüli szabadidős tevékenységekhez. A játékokhoz tartozó kellékek egy része (szituációs kártyák, érzelemkártyák) megtalálható a kötet mellékletében, de az otthon található plüssállatok, kesztyűbábok is bevonhatók.
