Cosmosophia:

Cosmology, Mysticism, and the Birth of a New Myth

by: Theodore Richards 

Forthcoming February 25, 2011 / Hiraeth Press
In my capacity as a partner in Hiraeth Press I am presented with the opportunity to read many manuscripts, some good, some not so good. This past Autumn I was given Cosmosophia to read (A non-fiction title written by Theodore Richards, author of Handprints on the Womb) and I was utterly blown away by the rich insight found within its pages. 

In Cosmosophia Richards beautifully weaves together a tapestry of mythology, religion and philosophy, recording humanity's contemplative history; while at the same time, underlining the need for change if we are to secure a soul-healthy future for ourselves and the Earth. Delicately balancing an appreciation for the past as he lays out the imperative need for reevaluation, Richards brings together the religions of each of the world's cultures, inviting us to pull from the mosaic a new cosmology in which the best parts of us are carried on and our past shortcoming are overcome.

Needless to say, we immediately accepted the manuscript for publication. It is being released February 25th 2011 but you can preview the title now on the Hiraeth Press Homepage or read the full preview as featured in the latest issue of Written River: A Journal of Eco-Poetics (Hiraeth Press' biannual e-publication.)
