SEEDS UNDER THE TONGUE
In this second collection, Timothy P. McLaughlin wields a boldly ecstatic voice to explore a confluence of themes: wanderings on the wild earth, relations with more-than-human presences, engagement with indigenous ceremony, reckoning with Catholicism, the swirl of young family life. These heart scores are delivered in a euphonic, incantatory brand of storytelling that delights and provokes at the depths.

ROOTED & RISEN
This début poetry collection from Timothy P. McLaughlin chronicles an inspired intimacy with the still wild places and presences of the Earth. The musical, iridescent language delights the senses and draws the reader/listener back into an essential creatureliness and basic loving kinship with the natural world.

RETURN TO THE RIVER
Two months prior to the devastating March 11th earthquake and tsunami in Japan, Madi Sato recorded an album of Japanese music in a meditation temple at the Crestone Colorado Mountain Zen Center.
The album, Madi’s third, includes traditional music from her late father’s homeland of Sendai as well as her original compositions. It moves like a river through the turns and movements of Madi’s life, both in America and Japan, from childhood to motherhood and features voice, koto, shakuhachi, taiko drums, piano, bass and sounds of nature.
Musicians: John Rangel, Kenny Endo, Koji Nakamura, Yukiko Matsuyama, David Wheeler
