Healing the World One Book at a Time It was founded by Peggy Elam, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist and former Emotional Health expert for iVillage.com.

Pearlsong Press is an independent publishing company dedicated to providing books and other products to entertain and enliven — while quite possibly also expanding your perspective on yourself and the world around you. What, you may ask, does the name "Pearlsong" mean? Pearls are formed when a piece of grit or sand or other abrasive, annoying, or even dangerous substance enters an oyster and trigg

ers its protective response. The substance is coated with shimmering, opalescent nacre ("mother of pearl"), the coats eventually building up to produce a beautiful gem. The self-healing response of the oyster transforms suffering into a thing of beauty. Something to sing about, hmmmm? The pearl-creating process reflects Dr. Elam's desire to move outside a pathological or "disease" based model of mental or physical "health" and "illness" into a more integrative and transcendant perspective of life, health, and well-being. Out of suffering into joy. Want to join us?

Pride Month may be nearly over, but Pearlsong Press supports and celebrates the LGBTQ+ community throughout the year. We are proud to publish Félix Garmendía's three books of poetry: Fire Island and Their Sister, Poems of Reckoning and Hope, and Flying on Invisible Wings.

Félix is a poet, HIV+ survivor, and disabled due to Inclusion Body Myositis. He has been married to his husband and caregiver, Denis, since 2012. He spent his early years in conservative Catholic Puerto Rico of the '60s, '70s, & '80s, arriving in Manhattan, NYC, in 1988. His poems narrate his life as a gay activist, a poet, and a storyteller in the face of illness and intolerance.

You can purchase his books in original trade paperback from your favorite online retailers (including Bookshop.org, which supports independent booksellers) or as ebooks from those online retailers as well as directly from Pearlsong Press. See comments for the books' Pearlsong website pages with links to several retail listings, as well as ability to purchase the ebooks from the Pearlsong retail shop.)
