From the passenger seat of Sean Singer’s taxicab, we witness New York’s streets livid and languid with story and contemplation that give us awareness and aliveness with each trip across the asphalt and pavement. Laced within each fare is an illumination of humanity’s intimate music, of the poet’s inner journey—a signaling at each crossroad of our frailty and effervescence. This is a guidebook toward a soundscape of higher meaning, with the gridded Manhattan streets as a scoring field. Jump in the back and dig the silence between the notes that count the most in each unique moment this poet brings to the page. “Sean Singer’s radiant and challenging body of work involves, much like Whitman’s, nothing less than the ongoing interrogation of what a poem is. In this way his books are startlingly alive... I love in this work the sense that I am the grateful recipient of Singer’s jazzy curation as I move from page to page. Today in the Taxi is threaded through with quotes from Kafka, facts about jazz musicians, musings from various thinkers, from a Cathar fragment to Martin Buber to Arthur Eddington to an anonymous comedian. The taxi is at once a real taxi and the microcosm of a world—at times the speaker seems almost like Charon ferrying his passengers, as the nameless from all walks and stages of life step in and out his taxi. I am reminded of Calvino’s Invisible Cities, of Sebald’s The Rings of Saturn... Today in the Taxi is intricate, plain, suggestive, deeply respectful of the reader, and utterly absorbing. Like Honey and Smoke before it, which was one of the best poetry books of the last decade, this is work of the highest order.” —Laurie Sheck

Have you ever tried to navigate through life without God? When you go to an unfamiliar place, the navigation system gives you step-by-step instructions on how to get there; even after getting lost several times, the sweet navigating voice, will always recalculate your position, and with the same soft tone tell you where to go. This book shows you that God does the same for all His children. After reading this book, you will be able to give thanks to God despite all your circumstances. We should be thankful to God for those "normal," smooth-sailing times. However, most of our growth and learning comes during times of pressure as this book will vividly show. Never underestimate the power of prayer, because all things are possible through God. Isolate yourself from the world for a minute. Focus on communicating with Him. Open up your heart and mind to the Lord. Whatever you desire in life, God will guide your thoughts and show you the way.

Leaving her home in Seattle in mid-summer to drive 'the long way round' to the Detroit auto show, Lesley Hazleton embarks on a journey to visit the holy places for cars - where they are raced, displayed, crashed, tested and made - as she seeks to understand our deep fascination with automobiles. Her quest takes her on a road trip that teaches her not only about cars and the peculiar passions of car lovers but also about herself. Halfway through this extraordinary adventure, Hazleton's father, the man who taught her to drive, dies suddenly, and her trip becomes a journey of grief and memory.
