 niversal Table/Wising Up Press is an organization dedicated to exploring t
 he complex challenges and lasting rewards of living up close and personal 
 with pluralism in social\, family\, religious\, and civic life\, or\, more
  simply\, Finding the 'We' in 'Them'\, the 'Us' in 'You'. Wising Up Anthol
 ogies use literature by contemporary writers to explore various dimensions
  of pluralism because of the power of narrative to help us identify safely
  with others who may at first seem\, by appearance or circumstances or cul
 ture\, very different from us. The anthologies serve as an invitation to s
 tand in that richer relation&mdash\;empathic\, musing\, open to new meanin
 g&mdash\;with ourselves and with our neighbors. The subjects the press foc
 uses on are families and resilience\, illness and meaning\, creative aging
 \, listening across faiths\, and immigration and belonging. The seven publ
 ished Wising Up Anthologies are Illness & Grace: Terror & Transformation\;
  Families: The Frontline of Pluralism\; Love After 70\; Double Lives\, Rei
 nvention & Those We Leave Behind\; Shifting Balance Sheets: Women's Storie
 s of Natural Citizenship & Cultural Attachment\; Complex Allegiances: Cons
 tellations of Immigration\, Citizenship & Belonging. Daring to Repair: Wha
 t is it\, who does it\, and why? is scheduled for publication later this y
 ear.  For more information about Wising Up Press: Visit www.universaltable
