Down on All Fours is a presentation of a new and unique genre called the photo-poem: original poetry further enhanced with beautiful photography. Poet G. L. Bass (the Ghostbear) ventures into the wilds of Africa, through the forest and woodlands of Wisconsin, and across the wilds of British Columbia. Explore the place where the heart and soul connect to nature and the spirits; through pictures and poetry discover the way into the hearts and souls of wild animals. Equally at home on the Serengeti plains and in the wilds of British Columbia, Bass has experienced five expeditions in Africa. Each work in this collection offers a study of the relationship between nature and man presented in the exceptional combination of words and photographs that comprise a photo-poem. The Craft The craft is of the spirit, Carved in the bone, Fashioned in the magic Of a Botswana midnight dream, An overwhelming Delta morning sunrise, A seed planted Somewhere in your heart, Yet behind your eyes, It grows its long roots Deep down beyond the door- Where your soul hides, A bloom you know That comes alive, In each and every African Sunrise.

Beau has never met anyone he doesn't want to lick. Ben is wary of love. Beau finds opportunity around every corner. Ben hides in the shadows of shame. Life on All Fours is a love story framed by loss and narrated by one whose four paws are firmly on the ground. Ben Walker lives in San Francisco. It's 1997, and after nearly two decades of AIDS devastation, finally, there may be reasons to hope. Ben, his ex-wife, Judy, and their mutual best friend, Anthony, struggle in a complicated triangle of love and personal history to create family. Into the mix tumbles Beau, an eight-week-old Field Spaniel who bears witness to the human drama that swirls around him. From down here anything is possible. Life on All Fours is two stories but one shared journey-a dog and a man, and the hearts they touch along the way.

FINALIST FOR THE 2024 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD IN FICTION AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The New York Times bestselling author returns with an irreverently sexy, tender, hilarious and surprising novel about a woman upending her life “A frank novel about a midlife awakening, which is funnier and more boldly human than you ever quite expect . . . nothing short of riveting.” —Vogue “All Fours has spurred a whisper network of women fantasizing about desire and freedom. . . . It’s the talk of every group text."—The New York Times “All Fours possessed me. I picked it up and neglected my life until the last page, and then I started begging every woman I know to read it as soon as possible.” —The Cut “A novel that presses into that tender bruise about the anxiety of aging, of what it means to have a female body that is aging, and wanting the freedom to live a fuller life . . . Deeply funny and achingly true.” —LA Times “July’s novel is hot and weird and captivating and one of the most entertaining, deranged, and moving depictions of lust and romantic mania I’ve ever read.” —New York Magazine A semi-famous artist announces her plan to drive cross-country, from LA to NY. Thirty minutes after leaving her husband and child at home, she spontaneously exits the freeway, checks into a nondescript motel, and immerses herself in an entirely different journey. Miranda July’s second novel confirms the brilliance of her unique approach to fiction. With July’s wry voice, perfect comic timing, unabashed curiosity about human intimacy, and palpable delight in pushing boundaries, All Fours tells the story of one woman’s quest for a new kind of freedom. Part absurd entertainment, part tender reinvention of the sexual, romantic, and domestic life of a forty-five-year-old female artist, All Fours transcends expectation while excavating our beliefs about life lived as a woman. Once again, July hijacks the familiar and turns it into something new and thrillingly, profoundly alive.
