Diane Ackerman & Daniel Siegel celebrate the life and works of poet and philosopher, John O’Donohue.  He is the beloved author who won hundreds of thousands of admirers with his now classic work on Celtic spirituality Anam Cara and the bestsellers To Bless the Space Between Us, Beauty, and Eternal Echoes, as well as two collections of poetry, Echoes of Memory and Conamara Blues. Unfortunately he died suddenly at age fifty-two in 2008 and the loss of his powerfully wise and lyrical voice has been profoundly missed.  O’Donohue’s readers know him as both a spiritual guide and a poet, and in his work he exhibits both qualities, sharing his Celtic heritage and his love for his native landscape in the west of Ireland. He frequently traveled to the United States to give lectures and conduct workshops.

“I was married to a crime fighter for a decade,” writes Patton Oswalt in describing his late wife, Michelle McNamara. “She was born with a true cop’s heart and mind… She made everything about me and everyone around her better. And she did it by being quietly, effortlessly original.”  I’ll Be Gone in the Dark—the book McNamara was writing at the time of her sudden death—offers an atmospheric snapshot of a moment in American history and a chilling account of a criminal mastermind and the wreckage he left behind. It is also a portrait of a woman’s obsession and her unflagging pursuit of the truth. Framed by an introduction by Gillian Flynn and an afterword by her husband, Patton Oswalt, the book was completed by Michelle’s lead researcher and a close colleague. It is destined to become a true crime classic—and may at last help unmask the Golden State Killer.
