From acclaimed author, actor, and singer-songwriter David Duchovny, a deeply personal, existential, and insightful debut poetry collection.

Love: A Celebration in Art and Literature is a collection of the most eloquent and artistic expressions of romantic love created since ancient times. This lavishly illustrated volume progresses from young love and courtship to passion, commitment, and the celebration of enduring, mature love. Each of the more than 140 literary selections and works of art has been chosen because it explores the affirmative, devotional, and nurturing aspects of love. For this special 20th anniversary edition, the editors have selected a dozen new images and as many new literary excerpts, as well as a revised cover design that puts a fresh face on love. For those in love, in love with love, or in search of love, this book is a moving, beautiful, often surprising cause for reflection, renewal, and rejoicing.

A provocative collection of essays by one of the foremost thinkers of second-wave feminism In a career spanning four decades, Alix Kates Shulman has written on issues ranging from marriage, sex, and divorce to religious identity, age, and family devotion. Throughout her diverse body of work runs a staunch advocacy of equal rights and social justice. Beginning with her provocative essay "A Marriage Agreement," written in 1969, and continuing through to the heartrending "Caring for an Ill Spouse, and Other Caregivers," written in 2011, this collection provides a window into the social movements that defined an era. Witty, stirring, and poignant, A Marriage Agreement and Other Essays illustrates how each generation, in Shulman's words, "can do no more than add its bit to the endless river of consciousness and change."
