Yes Life It Is

Find hope even in these dark times with this rediscovered masterpiece, a companion to his international bestseller Man’s Search for Meaning. Eleven months after he was liberated from the Nazi concentration camps, Viktor E. Frankl held a series of public lectures in Vienna. The psychiatrist, who would soon become world famous, explained his central thoughts on meaning, resilience, and the importance of embracing life even in the face of great adversity. Published here for the very first time in English, Frankl’s words resonate as strongly today—as the world faces a coronavirus pandemic, social isolation, and great economic uncertainty—as they did in 1946. He offers an insightful exploration of the maxim “Live as if you were living for the second time,” and he unfolds his basic conviction that every crisis contains opportunity. Despite the unspeakable horrors of the camps, Frankl learned from the strength of his fellow inmates that it is always possible to “say yes to life”—a profound and timeless lesson for us all.

This book of poems is all about love, in all its flavors. Love for the sweetheart, love for spouse, love for parents, love for siblings, love for friends, love for God, love for nature, love for country and above all, love for life. The poems of Bhupati Das depict various visuals of life and carry soft notes of love-waves. His stark simplicity, fluidity in tone and felicity with words come out vividly in these poems. After a long journey of mythically exploring the love and beauty of life, Bhupati has reached a point where his writings reveal a profound understanding of life and human relationships. They reflect everything from the way a waterfall breaks up on the rocks to the sensation of drawing one’s hand through a cluster of damp marigolds. Love has always been a blessing to him, even at the moment when it extinguishes its flame. Combining passion and sensitivity, the poems in this collection once again make people think that the innermost beauty of poetry is to be found not only in its imagery but also in its syntax and rhythms. His poetry is written in a language of excitement. The heightened pitch adds to the individual quality of that excitement. The poems in Yes! Life It Is also deal with his reflection on love, spirituality and openness to hope which readers can instantly trust and identify with. Bhupati writes his poems in small case only and without using full stop, comma or semi-colon so as not to break the flow.

“Fahmy uses humor to work through stereotypes and tell stories about nuanced hijabi characters.” —The Washington Post Popular Instagram cartoonist and Muslim-American Huda Fahmy presents a hilarious, relatable, and painfully honest new collection of comics that break down barriers and show how universal our everyday problems, worries, and joys actually are. At some point in our lives, we’ve all felt a little out of place. Huda Fahmy has found it’s a little more difficult to fade into the crowd when wearing a hijab. In Yes, I’m Hot in This, Huda navigates the sometimes-rocky waters of life from the unique perspective of a Muslim-American woman, breaking down misconceptions of her culture one comic at a time. From recounting the many questions she gets about her hijab every day (yes, she does have hair) and explaining how she runs in an abaya (just fine, thank you) to dealing with misconceptions about Muslims, Yes, I’m Hot in This tackles universal feelings from an point of view we don’t hear from nearly enough. Every one of us have experienced love, misunderstanding, anger, and a deep desire for pizza. In Yes, I’m Hot in This, Huda’s clever comics demonstrate humor’s ability to bring us together, no matter how different we may appear on the surface.
