WHEN F.A.L.L. COMES, What Do You Do? What is your favorite season of the year? WHEN F.A.L.L. COMES by Andre L. Williams Sr is a book that will graciously show you the seasons of F.ailure A.nger L.oneliness L.imits in a way that will help you appreciate choices, challenges and changes.Although we can't always avoid what happens in our lives, WHEN F.A.L.L. COMES was written to help settle the anxiety of burdens that are carried with no final destination or place of release. We all have choices to make in our lives, why make a choice that will grieve you or leave you worse off than when you first set out?I can't tell you that seasons of F.A.L.L. won't happen in your life, but I can tell you that even though you F.A.L.L. it doesn't mean that you have failed. A. L. Williams Sr brings the reader to a place of understanding without being too deep. For example, he consistently affirms his readers that every attempt of falling is in actuality a lesson on how to win. He writes, "We often hold ourselves to the standards of others that were never meant to be a permanent fixture in our lives." One of the greatest challenges that he points out is that we have choices, but the choices that we make shouldn't have us. We all will go through seasons in our lives, but every season will run its course. It has never been God's desire that we stay in just one season of our life. He constantly reminds us that He came to the earth that we might live and have an abundant life. Perhaps, you've been in the season of F.A.L.L. too long. It's time for a change. You're ready and with the Lord on your side, your best is yet to come.

In her fifth book, Janet Sutherland explores journals written by her great-great-grandfather, George Davies, as he travelled to Serbia with his Queen's Messenger friend, Mr Gutch, in 1846 and 1847. She writes her own journals during a trip to Hungary and Serbia in 2018 and after her cancer diagnosis and treatment during the first Covid lockdowns of 2020. Poems, journals, letters, messenger regulations and other testimony, both imaginary and actual, question, answer and echo each other in a radical collage. All the writers are grappling with uncertainties. Sutherland is intrigued by what these testimonies reveal and hide. Part history, part poetry, part travelogue - these journals, poems and other writings interweave the then and now, the observed and imagined. What do we know about these messages and their messengers? What secrets and possibilities might these words carry? What can they tell us about ourselves? Andrew McMillan writes: "A poetic, kaleidoscopic compendium of diary, letters, photographs, facts, and poetry, as is said within the book "the text unhinges from story, fragments link and unlink". This is a space where 'everything's in motion' - the tectonic plates of varied forms and lives moving deftly across each other."

Contains poems that are lyrical, weaving images of loss and of love, of grief and light, of language and nature.
