The deceptions : a novel / by Bialosky, Jill,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."A middle-aged poet finds herself adrift in her marriage and life now that her child has moved away to college. Her job teaching Greek myth to high school boys at a prestigious New York City academy has its small pleasures-her students offer surprising insights to stories she's studied for decades-but as her debut poetry collection approaches publication she starts to notice the seams of her life becoming unloosed. The chorus of voices in her life -- a mysterious neighbor in a potentially dangerous situation, a visiting poet at the academy struggling with writer's block, the word-starved dialogue with her distant husband --start to become overwhelming. She finds solace only at the Met, its history and sculptures beckon as a comfort and a warning for what happens to people who love wrongly, who love ambitions. The collapse of her life reaches a fever pitch just as betrayals are revealed all around her, and she must confront the realities of her life or be lost to its mythology forever. Suffused with the motifs of classic Greek mythology, especially the story of Leda and the Swan, The Deceptions is a seductively told, deeply moving exploration of female sexuality and ambition and a celebration of beauty and the invisible yet powerful ties that bind together a marriage, a life, work of art and its beholder"--

Out of the woods : a memoir of wayfinding / by Darling, Lynn.;
"Combining the soul-baring insight of Wild, the profound wisdom of Shop Class as Soulcraft, and the adventurous spirit of Eat, Pray, Love, Lynn Darling's powerful, lyrical memoir of self-discovery, full of warmth and wry humor, Out of the Woods. When her college-bound daughter leaves home, Lynn Darling, widowed over a decade earlier, finds herself alone--and utterly lost, with no idea of what she wants or even who she is. Searching for answers, she leaves New York for the solitary woods of Vermont. Removed from the familiar, cocooned in the natural world, her only companions a new dog and a compass, she hopes to develop a sense of direction--both in the woods and in her life. Hiking unmapped trails, Darling meditates on the milestones of her past; as she adapts to her new surroundings, she uses the knowledge she's gained to chart her future. And when an unexpected setback nearly derails her newfound balance, she is able to draw upon her newfound skills to find her bearings and stay the course. In revealing how one woman learned to navigate--literally and metaphorically--the uneven course of life, Out of the Woods is, in the words of Pulitzer-prize winning author Geraldine Brooks, 'a marvelous book; both a compass and a manifesto for navigating the often-treacherous switchbacks of the second half of life'"--Provided by publisher.
