This week’s list comes from Issue 1 contributor Maria Allocco, who writes that the three titles she’s most excited about this summer, “in order of digestion,” are:
Shamanism As A Spiritual Practice for Daily Life
By Tom Cowan (Random House)In my quest to meet my Guides and power animals, I plan on using this as a guide. As I have been in San Francisco now for almost a decade, I may fully initiate myself by buying a bongo.
Beneath The Lion’s Gaze
By Maaza Mengiste (Norton)Maaza read an excerpt at a VONA reading in Berkeley last week, and I started her book over a badass organic burrito that night.
A Course in Astral Travel and Dreams
By BeelzebubLucid dreaming was one of my favorite nighttime activities in college. Now I hope to journey again, sans the 25 page paper interruptions.
Many thanks to Maria for sharing her list with us!
