Nobody teaches you how to grieve. This is the strange truth at the center of an experience so common it touches every person who has ever lived long enough to lose someone. A hybrid cultural investigation and memoir that asks what grief is, where it comes from, who controls it, and what happens when the structures designed to support it are broken. From the neuroscience of loss to the mourning rituals of the Torajan highlands, the burning ghats of Varanasi, and the jazz funerals of New Orleans, this book traces grief across biology, history, culture, economics, and the deeply personal.

Ten acres of rotting floorboards, a collapsed roof, and fields the wild took back a decade ago. They'd been talking about burning it down.

Abandoned in Place is a work of cultural criticism that traces the pattern of institutional abandonment from the personal to the political. Beginning with the author's own childhood, the book identifies the grammar by which abandonment is disguised: the passive voice that removes the actor, the euphemism that renames the departure, the appeal to inevitability that converts a decision into a condition, and the therapeutic instruction that recruits the abandoned into the management of their own forgetting.

If golf is the unforgiving game… then these twelve players, in Three Angry Foursomes, are the unforgiven. Rooted in humor, irony, and truth-based fiction, Three Angry Foursomes follows a dozen men chasing a two-inch ball across a four-hundred-yard obstacle course toward an impossibly small five-inch hole — partially blocked by a flagstick. It’s a story about the search for meaning, redemption, relevance, and the elusive par, all played out on a desert course as merciless as the game itself.

What is God like? A punishing judge? A doting grandfather? A deadbeat dad? A vengeful warrior?

How do such 'good cop/bad cop' distortions of the divine arise and come to dominate churches and cultures?
