Introducing: Shivers and Signposts: The journey continues, by Len Richman, 14 September 2015

Author: Christina - Published 2015-08-22 11:20 - (9914 Reads)
In June 2008, the Thomas More Institute launched Len Richman’s Raindrops Glimpses Moments: An Unconventional Memoir Of An Unplanned Journey. Seven years later, the Institute will be launching Len’s subsequent memoir, Shivers & Signposts: The Journey Continues. Resuming his exploration of ‘life’ in the passing, he shows that he still has much to do, and much to say.

Len Richman is a longstanding member of Invisible Cities. As a teacher, scholar, traveler, writer and actor, he’s an exemplar of the many creatively engaged people we have been fortunate to connect with over the years: our independent publishers, in particular, who have successfully brought their literary works into the public realm.

A word of thanks, also, to Thomas More Institute, a unique and much loved Montreal institution of culture and learning. http://www.thomasmore.qc.ca

Introducing Len Richman and RAINDROPS GLIMPSES MOMENTS, a Memoir

Author: Christina - Published 2015-08-22 11:19 - (18312 Reads)

Raindrops Glimpses Moments

An Unconventional Memoir of an Unplanned Journey

If, according to Socrates, the unexamined life is not worth living, is the converse always true? When a person has actively embraced life, living it to the fullest, is there time for philosophical musings, looking backward, contemplating the meaning, and sharing with generations to come? The answer is yes, as the new memoir, Raindrops Glimpses Moments clearly demonstrates. With the same exuberant energy that supported Len Richman in his worldwide travels, academic pursuits, friendships, and family life, the author reflects and shares his personal examination of his life and the lives that have touched his...

INSECTUAL by Barbara Sala

Published by BOOKLOCKER http://www.booklocker.com/books/7890.html

“That’s where they burn red-haired girls as witches,” Maya’s mother said as they stood staring at the heavy metal door of an ominous bunker on their way to kindergarten.

THE SANDS OF TIME

by Barbara Silverman

Readings, Discussions, Stories on Mythology, History, Astronomy, Wildlife

Time is like grains of sand. It obscures the past, confusing the history that we try to unravel. Presenting puzzles and forming mysteries that may or may not be solved. Sometimes the sand is visible, covering and hiding that which lies beneath. Sometimes the sand cannot be seen – it is simply the passage of time, forever carrying away pieces that we search for. And when the sands of time flow into the future, past that hidden veil preventing us from seeing beyond this moment, what will they carry with them. What from our time will remain? And what will be gone forever? That question is still to be answered.

Twelfth Night: Or What You Will

Known to many as one of Shakespeare’s most perfect comedies, Twelfth Night is a wild and touching story of a set of separate twins desperate to find their other half. Shakespeare’s stirring and memorable language is masterfully paired with hilarious physical and visual comedy, inciting tears and laughter in equal measure and sometimes simultaneously. This play deals with the nature of love and loss, asking intriguing questions about gender roles, identity and attraction. Timeless and thought provoking, Twelfth Night is the perfect play for inspiring dialogue amongst our contemporary audience.

Directed by Amanda Kellock

A Birthday Wish-list for ICN

Our ‘Indie’ Movement
The ‘big bang’ that sparked our existence occurred on April first—April Fool’s Day—2001. We were a ‘gang of four’ enthusiasts who got together at the (now disappeared) Café ‘Porté Disparu’ on the Plateau. Our mission was a bit vague, but we did agree on one thing: to reach out to emerging and actual self-publishers in Montreal. Back then, we had no idea how much our nascent venture was destined to grow...
