Wenn anfängliche Zuneigung und Bindungslust nach und nach toxisch werden?In dieser mitreißenden Erzählung nimmt André Schneider die Leser mit auf eine wort- und bildgewaltige halbautobiografische Reise quer durch Europa, lässt sie hautnah teilhaben an den Höhen, Tiefen und intimsten Momenten einer außergewöhnlichen Beziehung und gewährt tiefe Einblicke in eine Künstlerseele.Über viele Jahre sollten der sich sammelnde und der sich verschwendende Mann sich im Wechsel annähern und abstoßen.

Walker Clark did not set out to be an acting coach, life coach, business coach, or any other type of coach for that matter. He discovered what being an actor could do for individuals. Not the acting you already know about; Walker's way of being an actor has given him and others permission to create new ways of being and acting in life-unencumbered by the past. Permission to act is the freedom and the possibility to be someone new: to be an actor-one who lives as the possibility of being anything. This discovery has left him free to be and free to engage and interact with life in the present, which allows for enormous power and impact with the people he coaches. Permission to Act is a memoir of sorts. It started out as a means of answering a seemingly simple question posed by his father. You may be entertained. Coaches may discover coaching, parents may discover parenting, and athletes may discover their sport. As you take this journey with Walker you may discover what permission to act is for you...or maybe you'll just laugh.

Die Abendsonne kotzt Melancholie auf den Asphalt, als wir uns zum letzten Mal treffen.Abschied, kein Neuanfang in Sicht. Wir allein auf einer Welt voller verlorener Seelen.Herzschmerz in unseren Jackentaschen, neben zerknülltem Kaugummi-Papier und zerrissenen Mahnungen.Träume, ertrunken in Sektgläsern aus Plastik, und Momente, die zerfließen wie unsere heruntergeschluckten Schmerzen."Mary Lee Wagner schreibt von Träumen und Sehnsüchten, die mal meine waren. Als die Welt groß und abenteuerlich war, bevor ich glaubte, schon alles gesehen zu haben. Sie zeigt die Schönheit des was-wäre-wenn und den Schmerz des was-niemals-wurde." - Wendy NikolaizikDer Band enthält acht Kurzgeschichten.

Ben Berman's Writing While Parenting explores what it means to pursue a creative passion alongside raising a family, how having children can make a parent both more vulnerable and more adventurous as an artist. Given how hectic parenting is, is it possible to balance a career and family, let alone find two minutes to pee without someone tugging your leg and asking to watch you "make bubbles"? How does one possibly find the time or energy to be creative?Spanning five years, these essays range from humorous moments (the seven-year-old daughter complaining that she "just got kicked in the weenie") to the more serious ones (finding two swastikas etched into the slide at the neighborhood playground). No matter its genesis, each piece thoughtfully examines the overlaps and the dissonance between the creative life and the procreative one. This is a witty, inspired, and illuminating collection for the writer, the parent, or both.PRAISE FOR WRITING WHILE PARENTING:Ben Berman's witty, brainy, soulful look at writing-while-parenting will speak to every parent-and every writer-committed to understanding the way that having kids raises the stakes for-and loosens the reins of-how we speak and write. What we blurt out, what we write down, the letters we help our children form, and those we hold ourselves back from forming for them-all matter. Every writer speaks to posterity, but Berman shows how parenthood brings that message-literally-home.-Elisa New, director and host of Poetry in AmericaWriting While Parenting, Ben Berman's wonderful new collection, is a striking work of wit, wisdom, and authenticity. His narratives read like micro-memoirs: deep meditations on marriage and family in dramatic structures "between song and thought." In addressing daily routines, dinner dates, and making M&M pancakes, these essays, like poetry, intertwine "imprecise meanings and [a] tangling of tones." This collection is as much about parenthood as it is process. For the writer, it is a reminder to see opportunity in every moment. I am enamored with Berman's care and precision with language and meaning. These essays are full of surprises, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary at every turn.-January O'Neil, author of RewildingBen Berman's collection reveals a writer who is an astute reader, one situated within the community of literature, referencing other texts in ways dialogic and fruitful to us, readers of his text. Here Berman knits a kinship of the poetic, the philosophical, the etymological, and the revelatory in essays remarkable for their scope, surprises, and sheer delights. The fundamental kinship of family and its metaphors is the beautiful beating heart of this book, and Berman's skill as a storyteller gives that heart amazing life.-Danielle Legros Georges, Boston Poet Laureate, 2015-2019ABOUT THE AUTHOR:Ben Berman is the author of Writing While Parenting, Figuring in the Figure, and Strange Borderlands, all from Able Muse Press in 2022, 2017, 2012 respectively; and Then Again (Vine Leaves Press, 2018).
