Vive La Résistance: Books & Tote for Challenging Times

This thoughtfully curated bundle is a gift for the reader who believes books can carry you through. Assembled by ROCS parent and Columbus therapist Lisa Gillispie of Columbus Mind Body Counseling, this Vive La Résistance collection is designed to help you hold on, rest, and keep going. It includes Begin Where You Are, the Colorado Poets Laureate Anthology with an introduction by Khadijah Queen and new poems by beloved poet Andrea Gibson; In the Absence of the Ordinary by psychologist Francis Weller, essays on grief, change, and sacred transitions; and No Less Strange or Wonderful by A. Kendra Greene, essays in curiosity. Rounding out the bundle: a canvas "The Library Is for Everyone" tote from Out of Print - a brand that supports global literacy initiatives - a Frederick Douglass bookmark, and two art cards with messages worth keeping on your desk.
