This collection of 28 poems by Tatiana Rebecca Shrayer won second place in Stone Soup Magazines 2019 Book Contest. Shrayer's Searching for Bow and Arrows is about the weight of history-one's own personal, familial history as well as the history of politics and nations-and a nostalgic longing for a homeland that both is and isn't home. In her spare, formal poems, Shrayer probes the thin veil between the past and present, focusing on the natural world as a bridge between the two: "Drops / of saltwater / arranged / like letters / on an ancient scroll."

The Way of Archery provides a detailed introduction to practicing archery in the traditional Chinese military style. It explains the basics of how to shoot using the Asian thumb ring: proper posture, training regimen, equipment, and avoiding pitfalls in shooting. The thorough translation and commentary (with original and new illustrations) provide a fresh and practical perspective on Gao Ying's 1637 archery treatise (which, itself, influenced generations of archers in East Asia). The authors themselves are active practitioners of Chinese archery, having spent an endless amount of time and effort vetting their understanding of this old manual and putting its ideas into practice. Through this process, the authors have been able to make this archery text accessible to modern readers. Not only will the reader come to understand the technical side of the Way of Archery, but will connect with the philosophy and spirit of the ancient Chinese warriors.

A warrior chief waited on a sacred mountain in the highlands of Papua New Guinea, seeking dreams and revelations from the spirit world. In the night he heard a voice, unlike any voice he had heard before. The voice called just one word, “Tiki!” It was the name of the chief’s young son. Three times the call came, then there was silence. This book is the true story of Tiki. It is a story of chiefs, of gangs, of colonization, and of politics. It is also a story of how faith can shape the lives of individuals, communities, and nations.
