Just Accepted for Publication: Forthcoming Books for 2022

TiLu Press, LLC is proud to announce the forthcoming publication of HEARTLAND: POEMS FROM THE HEART, a collection of poems by Lura Newland. In the works for some time, our resident poet Tim Kavi, has often told us that there were other poets in his family. (We believed him, even before we saw this evidence!) Kavi states that his mother, his grandmother, great grandfather, and great-great-grandfather all wrote poetry as a pastime and means of creative expression. In particular, he has noted on his blog that his grandmother was a huge inspiration to the poet when he was just a wee lad. Tim Kavi has selected 35 poems to be part of this collection, which we think is very readable. Lura Newland, (born in 1900), wrote poetry from the time she was a little girl on a Missouri homestead, along the trail in Nebraska (Chimney Rock), and finally, after settling in the Pacific Northwest in 1942. During the war years in particular, she wrote moving poems about loss, and later, she wrote poems about home, hearth, the simple life of gardening and farming, and of her deep love for family. We are proud to publish this collection by Tim Kavi's grandmother, along with front matter by her grandson, and other family members paying homage to this wonderful woman who passed away in 1986.  Scheduled publication date: February 2022.

Coming in April 2023 !

TiLu Press, LLC is proud to announce the forthcoming publication of HOW TO F**K THINGS UP, an erratic and irreverent satire of life's entanglements and "needless dramas" by Brother X. The book discusses various annoyng and difficult situations from the world of social relations, relationships, and dealings marked by failure. This is followed by vignettes about how to do the opposite through remedies, reparations, or, how to avoid the situations to begin with! The book is actually positive when it points out that it really takes a lot of work to actually "mess" things up beyond any sense of repair. The book is a humorous and good-hearted work that will make you laugh while giving you advice for self-improvement, and while such skills would negate the title of the book, it encourages those who think they have failed, to get up, shake the dust off, and keep on trying. Brother X is a world traveler who tries to look at life with a sense of humor, self-acceptance, and laughter. (We can't wait to see his forthcoming novel: THE BURNING BUSH, which we made him promise we've got first dibs at!)  Scheduled publication date: April 2023. (Rescheduled publication date at the author's request).

 Recently Published and Updated for 2021: Paperbound Edition of On the World as Misrepresentation

TiLu Press has recently upgraded and revised Tim Kellebrew's book on Philosophy, Philosophy of Mind and Dialogue! Upgraded and revised from the 2012 eBook version, this title has been reworked and formatted for a paper edition. Footnotes are replaced by helpful endnotes, and the book has been edited for new content. The chapter headings have been revised for clarity and conciseness. This work should be of interest to philosophy students and those interested in the social domains of mind. As a unique perspective, some of Kellebrew's comments are based upon his over 35 years of clinical practice as a practicing psychotherapist. Although psychotherapy is not the primary focus of this work, there are interesting comments about mind and consciousness that only a dialogical therapist would make! Readers interested in Martin Buber's philosophy of I-Thou and how Buber's ideas could be used to overcome divisiveness and promote inclusion will discover a useful book to read! ~~ND  You can order the book by clicking here or by clicking on the book cover above.

Here is what author, Tim Kellebrew stated: "I am happy to announce that my philosophy book has just been published in paperback! This work looks at the philosophy of mind and epistemology concerns in light of mind, other minds, consciousness, and how dialogue can be a pathway to the resolution of conflicts, divisiveness, or misunderstandings in social and even international domains of relating."

 Also, an interesting quote from Einstein (discovered after this book was written), seems to have a similar theme: “A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
