“The satirical singer/songwriter ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic and his entourage goof up a storm in this album of behind- the- scenes photographs. The sense of exuberant creativity and fun that comes through in these photos will appeal to Yankovic’s many fans.” — Kirkus Reviews

“Weird Al” Yankovic is one of music’s most beloved figures. A skilled accordion player and songwriter, the California native is known for his meticulous parodies of popular songs, hilarious originals, and, of course, for upbeat polkas!

For much of Al’s career, one man has been by his side, photographing and docu menting the fun and weirdness: longtime drummer Jon “Bermuda” Schwartz. Since meeting Al in 1980, Jon has taken more than 20,000 images of Al in his element: on tour, in the studio, and on video sets.

Black & White & Weird All Over presents hundreds of images of Al, culled from Jon’s personal collection of black- and- white photography. These pho-tos only existed on contact sheets— out of mind and out of sight— until now! From behind- the- scenes shots taken on the sets of Al’s iconic videos for “Ricky,” “I Love Rocky Road,” “Eat It,” and “Living With A Hernia,” to studio sessions for Al’s IN 3- D and Polka Party! LPs, Black & White & Weird All Over is the ultimate photographic essay of Weird Al’s undisputed comedic genius.

Jon “Bermuda Schwartz has been the drummer with “Weird Al” Yankovic since 1980 and is seen and heard on all of Weird Al’s albums, videos, and concert and television performances. He is also the group’s archivist, with an unmatched collection of memorabilia, audio & video releases from around the world, and photos.

“Weird Al” Yankovic is an American musician, comedian and actor who is known for his music parodies and original songs that make light of popular cul-ture. He has sold more than 12 million albums, performed more than 1,700 live shows, and earned five Grammy Awards. His last LP, Mandatory Fun, debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, the first comedy album ever to do so.

The followup to 2019’s bestselling Blood on Black Wax: Horror Soundtracks on Vinyl.

“A painstakingly compiled catalog packed with meticulous details that will prove a fun nostalgia trip for fans of the genres. An eye- catching, enjoyable, and infor-mative celebration of iconic sci- fi and fantasy movie scores.” — Kirkus Reviews

Do you crank up your stereo and conduct air symphonies to John Williams’ Star Wars? Know all of the lyrics to “The NeverEnding Story” or “Xanadu?” Have a burgeoning collection of space disco albums? Well, pluck those Ceti Alpha eels out of your ears and open this book— we’ve got you covered.

From the orchestral bombast of Jerry Goldsmith’s Star Trek: The Motion Picture score, to the muscle- flexing might of Basil Poledouris’ Conan the Barbarian, to the dreamy electronic soundscapes of Vangelis’ Blade Runner and the pop styl-ing of the Flash Gordon soundtrack, science fiction and fantasy films have in-spired some of the most beloved and memorable soundtracks in film history.

Planet Wax covers the best, as well as the most unique and underrated scores the sci- fi and fantasy genres have to offer, while showcasing their original vinyl LP artwork over 240 pages. Franchises like Mad Max, The Terminator, and even the Indiana Jones films are spotlighted, along with television classics such as Doctor Who and Star Trek, making Planet Wax the definitive discography of soundtracks from the films and shows of the 1960s, ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s that shaped multiple generations.

Featuring over twenty interviews, including composers Stu Phillips (Battlestar Galactica), Laurence Rosenthal (Clash of the Titans), and directors Richard Donner (Superman) and Nicholas Meyer (Star Trek II), Planet Wax chronicles an era in film and music when the sounds were given as much prominence as the interstellar imagery.

Aaron Lupton and Jeff Szpirglas, co- authors of Blood on Black Wax: Horror Soundtracks on Vinyl, will take you on the ultimate trip to the far reaches of both the cosmos and their record collections.

Following the success of the established titles in this popular series, Sketching

from the Imagination: Storytelling brings to life the characters, worlds, and tales of traditional stories and modern tales alike.

Fifty professional storybook artists from around the globe take inspiration from folklore and fairytales, myths and legends, and modern books and novels. Many of these artists create their own narratives, exploring their storytelling skills through an extraordinary talent for transforming words into compelling visual concepts. Children eagerly turn the pages of illustrated storybooks— some of those illustrations would be enchanting and dream- like, others were menacing and ugly (but no less intriguing). Those images often linger into adulthood, when graphic novels and illustrated books take over to feed our adult curiosity and childlike sense of adventure. Each artist not only shares several pages of their original art, but also the story behind it— the narrative of the art itself, and their fascinating account of the artistic process. From traditional children’s charac-ters to the fantastical, surreal, and terrifying worlds, every genre imaginable is covered.

Whether you’re a beginner or experienced artist, no matter what your style and medium, this book will have you telling tales in no time.

Life skills for liberation.

In our complex world, facilitation and mediation skills are as important for indi-viduals as they are for organizations. How do we practice them in ways that align with nature, with pleasure, with our best imagining of our future? How do we attend to generating the ease necessary to help us move through the inevitable struggles of life? How do we practice the art of holding others without losing our-selves? Black feminists have answers to those questions that can serve anyone working to create changes in our world, changes great and small; individually, inter personally, and within our organizations.

Holding Change is about attending to coordination, to conflict, to being humans in right relationship with each other, not as a constant ongoing state, but rather as a magnificent, mysterious, ever- evolving dynamic in which we must involve our-selves, shape ourselves and each other. The majority of the book is sourced from brown’s twenty- plus years of facilitation and mediation work with groups includ-ing Black Lives Matter and The Movement for Black Lives. It includes additional wisdom from a selection of Black feminist facilitators and mediators.

adrienne maree brown is the author of Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds; Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good; We Will Not Cancel Us: And Other Dreams of Transformative Justice; coeditor of Octavia’s Brood: Science Fiction from Social Justice Movements; cohost of the podcasts How to Survive the End of the World and Octavia’s Parables; and founder of the Emergent Strategy Ideation Institute.

Cancel culture addresses real harm— and sometimes causes more. It’s time to think this through.

Cancel or call- out culture is a fraught topic in American society. The infamous “Harper’s Letter,” signed by a range of public figures, sought to settle the matter but only caused greater division. Originating as a way for marginalized and dis-empowered people to address inequities and take down powerful abusers, often with the help of social media, cancel culture is seen by some as having gone too far. But what is “too far” when you’re talking about imbalances of power and the harm they enable? And what happens when people within social movements direct their anger inward at one another?

In We Will Not Cancel Us, professional mediator adrienne maree brown re-frames the discussion for us, in a way that points to possible ways beyond our impasse. Most critiques of cancel culture come from outside the milieus that produce it, sometimes even from its targets. Brown explores the question from a Black, queer, and feminist viewpoint that gently asks, how well does this practice serve us? Does it prefigure the sort of world we want to live in? And, if it doesn’t, how do we seek accountability and redress for harm in a way that reflects our values?

adrienne maree brown is the author of Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds; Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good; coeditor of Octavia’s Brood: Science Fiction from Social Justice Movements; cohost of the pod-casts How to Survive the End of the World and Octavia’s Parables; and founder of the Emergent Strategy Ideation Institute.

On the obsolescence of the State.

One of the most unique aspects of anarchism as a political philosophy is that it seeks to abolish the state. But what exactly is “the state”? The State is like a vast operating system for ordering and controlling relations among human society, the economy, and the natural world, analogous to a digital operating system like Windows or MacOS. Like a state, an operating system “governs” the programs and applications under it and networked with it, as well as, to some extent, the individuals who avail themselves of these tools and resources. No matter how different states seem on the surface they share core similarities, namely:

• The State is a relatively new thing in world history• The State is European in origin and outlook• States are “individuals” in the eyes of the law• The State claims the right to determine who is a person• The State is an instrument of violence and war• The State is above the law• The State is first and foremost an economic endeavor

Anyone concerned with entrenched power, income inequality, lack of digital pri-vacy, climate change, the amateurish response to COVID- 19, or military- style policing will find eye- opening insights into how states operate and build more power for themselves— at our expense. The state won’t solve our most press-ing problems, so why do we obey? It’s time to think outside the state.

Eric Laursen is an independent journalist, historian, and activist.

A $50 billion dollar industry that cages one out of three Black men? End it now!

The Abolition of Prison provides a reflection from a longtime prison abolition-ist on the ideas, actions, and writings of anti- prison activism over the last fifty years. This book powerfully makes the case for the end of prisons, punishment, and guilt and, instead, suggests we work towards social change, care, collectiv-ity, and ending regimes of repression and violence.

The book weaves together Lesage de la Haye’s own experience in prison, as a psychiatrist, and as an abolitionist, with arguments and proposals from abolition-ist writings, and countless examples of prisoner actions, prison alternatives, and attempts to create a more just world. Lesage de la Haye argues simply that, if we take the justifications for prison and punishment at their word, we must evaluate the system as a complete failure and stop supporting and funneling money into it. There is a long history of alternative ways to address problems in society, both inside the Western systems of law and from Indigenous communities. Lesage de la Haye starkly portrays the effects of punishment, concluding that prison is simply a slow death. The move toward abolition is achievable today and necessary for a society free from systematized oppression.

Jacques Lesage de la Haye is a formerly incarcerated psychoanalyst, and the au-thor of La Guillotine du sexe (Gender’s Execution), among other books. He broad-casts the radio show, “Ras les murs” (“Tear down the walls”) on Radio Libertaire and has been fighting prisons for more than fifty years.

That which damages can make us stronger, smarter, more compassionate, and ready to build something better.

“Kimberly Dark has forever transformed the way I understand sex, gender, and the notion of ‘damage.’ The patriarchy should be terrified of this book. The rest of us can stick it in our hearts— emboldenment for the revolution.” — Ariel Gore, author of Hexing the Patriarchy

Social hierarchies cause damage. At the same time, people who have been dam-aged by this world— thrown away, marginalized, traumatized, oppressed— are more capable of apprehending harmful social patterns, precisely because they’ve needed to be vigilant about how the world works. For too long, though, those with long- held rights and entitlements have claimed that survivors are biased about the very topics on which they have the greatest expertise.

This powerful collection of essays reveals a complex social landscape— a liv-ing map of pain, survival, and compassion. A mix of personal memoir and socio-logical acumen, each piece seeks to build roads to a more equitable and loving collective culture of body sovereignty, racial justice, and gender liberation. They demonstrate the humane insights, approaches, and knowledge of those on the re-ceiving end of inequity and violence, those whose “objectivity” on issues of op-pression has been consistently maligned despite their having the most to teach us.

Kimberly Dark has written award- winning plays and taught and performed for a wide range of audiences in various countries over the past two decades. She is the author of Fat, Pretty, and Soon to be Old; The Daddies; Love and Errors; and coeditor of the anthology Ways of Being in Teaching.

A collection of essays that clarify the murky world of fascism and the far- right.

“A must- read for anyone interested in the far- right’s evolution during the Trump era, and its opposition. A collection that delves into the howling abyss and emerges with aplomb.” — Talia Lavin, Culture Warlords: My Journey Into the Dark Web of White Supremacy

“[Burley’s] reporting is thorough and imbued with critical nuance as well as deep compassion for the people whose stories he illuminates and a principled com-mitment to the greater struggle for liberation.” — Kim Kelly, labor journalist at Teen Vogue

“No writer is more knowledgeable about the recent politics and culture of fascism and antifascism in the US than Shane Burley. As a journalist, Burley has closely followed local and national struggles against white supremacy. As a theorist, he has helped us to situate the alt- right and antifascism within broader concep-tual dynamics. Finally the broad range of his work . . . has been gathered together in Why We Fight— an invaluable resource for . . . imagining a new world in the 21st century.” — Mark Bray, author of Antifa: The Anti- Fascist Handbook

These essays, many published here for the first time, cover the shifts in rheto-ric and tactics of the Alt Right after their disastrous Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville in 2017. For those observing and opposing hate groups, the book deals with the emotional space of living in a moment of crisis.

The courtroom is always political. How lawyers can best represent radical

defendants and their movements.

“Representing Radicals is a critical, timely resource for movement lawyers and legal workers to understand and center shared litigation strategies of those navi-gating the criminal legal system in their struggle for liberation.” — Pooja Gehi, executive director of the National Lawyers Guild

This book is an essential toolkit for lawyers aiming to better accommodate the goals of defendants charged with political crimes. Responding positively to these needs can strengthen social movements coming into contact with the criminal justice system.

How to think about sex, class, and race at the same time.

“This rich and vivid exploration of many forms of popular struggle, based on an intersectional understanding of class and consciousness, teaches the lesson that ‘liberation is infectious,’ and inspires us to join in carrying it forward.” — Noam Chomsky

What is class and how does it relate to other social identities? Michael Beyea Reagan shows how our movements can be diverse and particularistic— with a complex mix of culture, economics, ideology, and consciousness— as well as united by the elements of the universal experience shared by all workers.

Did you ever hear the story about 1,186 men kidnapped in Arizona and dumped in a desert 200 miles away?

On July 12, 1917, the sheriff of Bisbee, Arizona, conspired with the owners of the Phelps Dodge copper mine to break a strike initiated by the Industrial Workers of the World. Two thousand citizens were deputized to physically deport striking miners out of state— with no legal authority. The heartbreaking saga is told here in its entirety for the first time.

Mitchell Abidor is a translator and writer on history, ideas, and culture. His work has appeared in the New York Times, Foreign Affairs, and New York Review of Books. He is the author of May Made Me, among other works.

A monumental speculative fiction story of love, loyalty, politics, and conscience, set in parallel Londons.

“A masterful reimagining of the African diaspora’s influence on England, and on the world. It’s a grand tale and still an intimate portrait of loss and love . . . No other way to put it, this book is true Black magic.” —Victor LaValle, author of The Changeling

The Ark was built to save the lives of the many, but rapidly became a refuge for the elite, the entrance closed without warning.

Years after the Ark was cut off from the world— a world much like our own, but in which slavery has never existed— a chance of survival within the Ark’s confines is granted to a select few who can prove their worth. Among their num-ber is Markriss Denny, whose path to future excellence is marred only by a closely guarded secret: without warning, his spirit leaves his body, allowing him to see and experience a world far beyond his physical limitations.

Once inside the Ark, Denny learns of another with the same power, whose existence could spell catastrophe for humanity. He is forced into a desperate race to understand his abilities, and in doing so uncovers the truth about the Ark, himself, and the people he thought he once knew.

Writer/director/producer Justine Bateman examines the aggressive ways that society reacts to the aging of women’s faces.

“Brave, brilliant, and unflinchingly honest, Justine is that writer you trust be-cause she goes after every subject with a warrior’s focus, and throws herself to the lions while she’s at it.” —Mary-Louise Parker, actress, author of Dear Mr. You

“These honest, no- flinch vignettes about womanhood, beauty, and meaning will make you mad, break your heart, will have you longing for a better world, have you rooting for her, yourself, for all women.” — Deb Olin Unferth, author of Barn 8

Face: One Square Foot of Skin is a book of fictional vignettes that examines the fear and vestigial evolutionary habits that have caused women and men to cultivate the imagined reality that older women’s faces are unattractive, undesirable, and something to be “fixed.”

Based on “older face” experiences of the author, Justine Bateman, and those of dozens of women and men she interviewed, the book presents the reader with the many root causes for society’s often negative attitudes toward women’s older faces. In doing so, Bateman rejects those ingrained assumptions about the necessity of fixing older women’s faces, suggesting that we move on from judging a woman’s worth based on the condition of her face.

With impassioned prose and a laser- sharp eye, Bateman argues that a woman’s confidence should grow as she ages, not be destroyed by society’s misled attitude about that one square foot of skin.

Justine Bateman is a writer/director/producer/author with an impressive acting résumé that includes Family Ties, Satisfaction, Arrested Development, and many more. She has earned a Golden Globe nomination and two Emmy nominations. Violet, Bateman’s directorial feature film debut of her own script, stars Olivia Munn, Luke Bracey, and Justin Theroux, and was an official selection at the 2020 SXSW Film Festival. Her bestselling first book, Fame: The Hijacking of Reality, was published in 2018 by Akashic.

Iconoclastic guitar player Marc Ribot offers up essays and stories in this darkly funny and subversive debut collection.

“Like Monk, Marlon Brando, Bob Dylan, and other skilled practitioners of bro-ken American poetry, Ribot is a deceptively articulate artist . . .” —New York Times

Throughout his genre- defying career as one of the most innovative musicians of our time, iconoclastic guitar player Marc Ribot has consistently defied expecta-tion at every turn. Here, in his first collection of writing, we see that same un-compromising sensibility at work . . . Through essays, short stories, and the occasional unfilmable film “mistreatment” that showcase the sheer range of his voice, Unstrung captures an artist whose versatility on the page rivals his dexter-ity onstage.

In the first section of the book, “Lies and Distortion,” Ribot turns his attention to his instrument, while reflecting on his myriad influences. He captures both the monotony of touring as well as small moments of beauty and despair on the road. In the heart of the collection, “Sorry, We’re Experiencing Technical Difficulties,” Ribot offers wickedly humorous short stories that synthesize the best elements of the Russian absurdist tradition with the imaginative heft of George Saunders. Taken together, these stories and essays cement Ribot’s position as one of the most dynamic and creative voices of our time.

Marc Ribot has released twenty- five albums over a forty- year career, exploring everything from the pioneering jazz of Albert Ayler to the Cuban son of Arsenio Rodríguez. Rolling Stone points out that “Ribot helped Tom Waits refine a new, weird Americana on 1985’s Rain Dogs, and since then he’s become the go- to guitar guy for all kinds of roots- music adventurers.” Additional recording cred-its include Neko Case, Elton John/Leon Russell’s The Union, Allen Ginsberg, Norah Jones, the Black Keys, and many others. Ribot has also composed and performed on numerous film scores such as Walk the Line, The Kids Are All Right, and The Departed.

Palm Springs joins Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange County, San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley in the Noir Series arena.

Brand- new stories by: T. Jefferson Parker, Janet Fitch, Eric Beetner, Kelly Shire, Tod Goldberg, Michael Craft, Barbara DeMarco- Barrett, Rob Roberge, J.D. Horn, Eduardo Santiago, Rob Bowman, Chris J. Bahnsen, Ken Layne, and Alex Espinoza.

From the introduction by Barbara DeMarco-Barrett: “The best noir writers make us feel the heat of the sun, the touch of a lover. Setting can be gritty but can also be sublime, no longer relegated to urban locales and seedy hotel rooms but also mansions and swimming pools. Hence, Palm Springs, which may seem like an odd setting for a collection of dark short stories— it’s so sunny and bright here. The quality of light is unlike anywhere else, and with an average of three hundred sunny days a year, what could go wrong? . . .

“The stories in this collection come on like the wicked dust storms common to the area. More than half are by writers who live here full- time; all have homes in Southern California. They know this place in ways visitors and out siders never will. These are not stories you’ll read in the glossy coffee- table books that feature Palm Springs’s good life. There is indeed a lush life to be found here, but for the characters in these stories, it’s often just out of reach.”

Barbara DeMarco- Barrett hosts Writers on Writing on KUCI- FM, and her book Pen on Fire was a Los Angeles Times bestseller. She has also published in the Los Angeles Times, the Los Angeles Review of Books, Inlandia, Shotgun Honey, Partners in Crime, and Paradigm Shifts.

Antislavery agitation is rocking Utica in 1835 when a young bride discovers an enslaved family hiding in her shed, setting in motion

the exhumation of long- buried family secrets.

“Deirdre Sinnott is an extraordinary writer whose eye misses nothing. This com-pelling story is a must read— and it couldn’t be more timely.” — David Black, award- winning journalist, novelist, screenwriter, and producer

“The Third Mrs. Galway captures the true- life antiabolition riots against the New York Anti- Slavery Society . . . Sinnott brings the story of emancipation alive.” — Paul Stewart, cofounder of the Underground Railroad History Project

It’s 1835 in Utica, New York, and newlywed Helen Galway discovers that two people who have escaped enslavement are hiding in the shack behind her house. Suddenly, she is at the center of the era’s greatest moral dilemma. Should she be a good wife and report the fugitives to her husband?

Within her home, Helen is haunted by the previous Mrs. Galway, recently deceased but still an oppressive presence. Her husband, injured by a drunken tumble off his horse, is assisted by a doctor of questionable ambitions. In charge of all things domestic is Maggie— formerly enslaved by the Galway family and freed when emancipation came to New York eight years earlier.

At the same time, Utica is at the center of emancipation efforts as abolition-ists arrive for the founding meeting of the New York Anti- Slavery Society. Those who plead for an immediate end to enslavement are attacked by newspapers ac-cusing them of being insurrectionists and traitors to the Constitution. Everyone faces dangerous choices as they navigate this intensely heated personal and politi-cal landscape.

Deirdre Sinnott was the originator of Utica’s Abolition History Day Celebration and has directed two award- winning documentaries on mass incarceration/prison issues. She facilitated the program “Resisting the New Jim Crow” at the National Abolition Hall of Fame and Museum.

“An ambitious, vital project that delivers exactly what it promises . . . As a group, the chapbooks dispel stereotypes about African writing. They also illustrate what editors Dawes and Abani note about the many ways poets can understand or re-define their ties to Africa. These insights are poignant and valuable, especially at a time when millions around the globe find themselves somewhere between new countries and ancestral lands they’ve left behind.” — Washington Post

“Dawes and Abani have taken on the vital project of publishing short collections by contemporary poets from Africa, packaged together in beautiful boxed sets.” — New York Times Magazine

The series seeks to identify the best poetry written by African poets working today, and it is especially interested in featuring poets who have not yet published their first full-length book of poetry. The thirteen poets included in this box set are: Selina Nwulu, Ayan M. Omar, Jeremy Teddy Karn, Ajibola Tolase, Hauwa Shaffii Nuhu, Sara Elkamel, Precious Arinze, Lameese Badr, Qutouf Yahia, Edil Hassan, Kolawole Adebayo, Cynthia Amoah, and Saradha Soobrayen.

Extremely relevant takes on the so many inequalities in America and social unrest sweeping the nation.

Last Days is a practice of radical imagination for our current political and environ-mental crises. It excavates the conditions that have brought us here— white suprem-acy, heteropatriarchy, corporate power, capitalism— and calls ancestors, birds, organizers, and lovers to conjure a new world. It explores how to transform our fu-ture to be more beautiful, more just, and more compassionate than we can imagine.

What it Means to Be Human

Remember when we were very young,we could disappearand then reappear in the next room?

Our animal muscles have gallopedalong in spite of our flawed sense of time.I am the magic of a clenched fist.

We break so easily: rib, shoulder,psyche. Suddenly,or over the drag of decades.

Then a beloved lights a match.A stranger brings a candle.One by one we touch our fingers to our wings.

And then the steady thrum—

Growing older and losing memories are a very real part of life that is explored in these classically- style poems.

White Campion attempts a libretto to the music of aphasia and forgetting. The dis-appearance of memory can break hearts, but may open into something wonder-ful, on the clean far side of memory. Poems explore the idea that identity proves to be simply flashpoints of intervals, and at the end of all, humanity hopes to find a hymn to oblivion.

From “When I Die”:

Rebirth is an idiot. IsolatedEach into its own eternity,Like every pain, birth continues out of mindDeeper into the hill. Earth riotsWith levity. Darkness swims into light.Flowers begin to imagine the life of flowers.Heaven signals to me, pouring down shadeOut of the canopy of trees, pryingThe sunlight apart from itself. DarknessAnd light are the same thing. Music movesEffortlessly between the two, made of nothingBut wings, wings with eyes, no end in sight.

The Vault is a quiet and vulnerable sequence of ethereal fragments, letters, and poems that trace a narrative of love and healing in the afterlife of a parent’s death. Seasons turn and a life is built despite the ruin. Each poem is a music box of prayer, of the decisions made and yet to be made.

I have tamped down the earth & prayed for the vault to open

all my psychological shit untouched

when I imagine myself

I am always leaving

No Ruined Stone is a verse sequence rooted in the life of eighteenth- century Scottish poet Robert Burns. In 1786, Burns arranged to migrate to Jamaica to work on a slave plantation, a plan he ultimately abandoned. Voiced by a fictive Burns and his fictional granddaughter, a “mulatta” passing for white, the book asks: what would have happened had he gone?

From “No Ruined Stone”:

In this world, I am unloosed, belongingto no country, no tribe, no clan.Not African. Not Scotland.And you, voice that stalksmy waking and dreaming,you more myth than man,cannot unmake history.So why am I hereresurrecting you to speakwhen your silence gulfs centuries?Why do I find myselfon your doorstep, knocking,when I know the deadwill never answer?

From Jamaica, Shara McCallum is the author of five books of poetry, published in the US and UK, most recently Madwoman, winner of the 2018 OCM Bocas Poetry Prize for Caribbean Literature and the 2018 Sheila Margaret Motton Book Prize. Her work has been widely published in the US, the Caribbean, and Europe, has been translated into several languages, and has received such recog-nition as a Witter Bynner Fellowship from the Library of Congress and a Poetry Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts. From 2003–17 she di-rected the Stadler Center for Poetry and is now a Liberal Arts Professor of English at Penn State University.

From the author of People in the Room, a literary memoir of an

extraordinary childhood.

“One of the most beautiful and luminous childhood memoirs ever written.” — César Aira

A series of intimate vignettes capture the childhood of Argentina’s rediscovered modernist writer as she searches her past for clues on womanhood and her own identity. Lange makes her domestic setting into a laboratory where strangeness and eroticism combine in delicate, daring flashes of literary brilliance.

Norah Lange (1905–1972) was a key figure in the twentieth century Argentine avant- garde, and a friend of Borges, Neruda and Lorca.

Charlotte Whittle’s translation of Lange’s People in the Room was a finalist for three prizes. She lives in New York.

Mario Levrero’s touching and funny magnum opus about domestic life,

the writing process, love, the fear of death, pets, and a funereal pigeon.

A writer attempts to finish the novel for which he has been awarded a big fat grant, though for a long time he succeeds mainly in procrastinating. Insomniacs, romantics, and anyone who’s ever written will fall in love with this compelling masterpiece told by a true original, with all his infuriating faults, charming wit, and intriguing musings.

Mario Levrero (1940–2004) has inspired Latin American writers such as Juan Pablo Villalobos, César Aira, and Alejandro Zambra. In 2000 he was awarded the Guggenheim grant that allowed him to complete work on The Luminous Novel, which was published posthumously.

A gorgeously wrought and deeply moving international bestseller: the story of a son and his father brought closer by Alzheimer’s.

When his father develops Alzheimer’s, Arno Geiger must finally get to know him properly. His father was conscripted from his Alpine village into World War II as a “schoolboy soldier”— an experience that marked him. This intelligent, moving, and often funny account shows us that whatever happens in old age, human char-acter shines through.

Arno Geiger’s fiction has won the prestigious German Book Prize, while his auto biographical The Old King in His Exile has been translated into twenty- eight languages and has won multiple prestigious literary awards. He lives in Vienna.

Stefan Tobler is the publisher of And Other Stories and, whenever time permits, a translator. His translation of Arno Geiger’s The Old King in His Exile was short-listed for the Helen and Kurt Wolff Prize and Schlegel- Tieck Prize.

A wildly disarming memoir by comedian Alex Wood on how he overcame his multiple addictions.

As an alcoholic, drug- addicted comedian with tendencies to over- indulge and under- achieve, Alex Wood was on track for to achieve his greatest goals: to die young and drunk. At the age of twenty- eight, feeling desperate in the face of addiction and associated health problems, he decided to do something he’d ac-tually been doing all his life: fight.

Alex concocted a plan to quit not only alcohol and drugs, but everything else that he felt was holding him back: cigarettes, caffeine, red meat, dairy, sugar, social media, smartphones, porn, credit cards, nail- biting, social media, and gos-sip. His biggest weapons? A pair of boxing gloves and plenty of peppermint tea. But as Alex soon learned, people don’t change overnight, and sobriety isn’t a linear journey; there’s heartbreak, relapses, and abuse along the way, but there’s also love, support, and lots of laughter. In this memoir, Alex wants to prove that people really can change, or go on a withdrawal- inspired murder spree, which-ever comes first.

With plenty of self- effacing wit and grace, Float like a Butterfly, Drink Mint Tea tears down the walls of shame surrounding addiction, providing an honest and open portrait of the stakes involved when one is willing to quit everything in order to survive.

Alex Wood is a comedian, writer, and podcaster who has been featured on NBC’s Today Show, Kevin Hart’s LOL, Vice, and Sirius XM Radio. His podcast How Alex Wood Quit Everything takes listeners on a journey through his addiction and subsequent recovery.

A visually stunning collection of illustrated narratives on queer and trans resistance.

Over the past ten years, we have witnessed the rise of queer and trans communi-ties that have defied and challenged those who have historically opposed them. Through bold, symbolic imagery and surrealist, overlapping landscapes, queer illustrator and curator Syan Rose shines a light on the faces and voices of these diverse, amorphous, messy, real and imagined queer and trans communities.

In their own words, queer and trans organizers, artists, healers, comrades, and leaders speak honestly and authentically about their own experiences with power, love, pain, and magic to create a textured and nuanced portrait of queer and trans realities in America. The many themes include Black femme mental health, Pacific Islander authorship, fat queer performance art, disability and healthcare practice, sex worker activism, and much more, including a three- part piece on the impact of the COVID- 19 pandemic on Black, Latinx, and Indigenous communities. Accompanying the narratives are Rose’s startling and sinuous images that brings these leaders’ words to visual life.

Our Work Is Everywhere is a graphic nonfiction book that underscores the bril-liance and passion of queer and trans resistance.

Includes a foreword by Lambda Literary Award- winning author and activ-ist Leah Lakshmi Piepzna- Samarasinha, author of the bestselling Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice.

Syan Rose is an illustrator and comic artist whose work plays with both surreal-ist and representational imagery to approach topics of personal history, politics, accountability, and healing. She’s been published in Bitch, Slate, Gay Magazine, Truthout, and Autostraddle, and has self- produced many comics and zines.

Ghosts, doppelgängers, and a man who turns into a tree: a startling fiction debut that strives to articulate the Asian immigrant body.

In the beltline of a run- of- the- mill metropolis, an apartment complex called Cambrian Court has become the focal point of an outlandish unfurling, where even the laws of physics are becoming questioned. Embroiled within this psy-chic plot are three neighbors who are strangers to one another— Nohlan Buckles, Hachiko Yoshitoshi, and Zadie Chan— and whose ordinary lives have become rife with bizarre antagonists: an ogreish landlord, an ominous hooded group called the selfies, and a donkey- faced Saint Peter.

The deeper they are drawn into this otherworld the more reality becomes sus-pect: Nohlan is convinced he’s turning into a tree, Hachiko’s staging of a kabuki shockingly comes to life, and Zadie unwittingly begins to produce doppelgän-gers. Without even knowing each other, they come to realize just how dependent and intertwined their lives truly are.

In Marc Herman Lynch’s debut novel, some people explode, and others come back to life, but at the heart of it all are the fleeting yet indelible connections we make with one another. Darkly funny, lyrically charged, and gothically absurd, Arborescent is a raw and brilliantly imagined depiction of our disconnected con-temporary world.

Marc Herman Lynch is a first generation, French- Chinese immigrant. He has an MA from the University of Calgary and is the president of filling Station maga-zine. Arborescent is his first novel.

From Lambda Literary Award winner Larissa Lai: a long poem full of rage, love, and despair seeking justice,

seeking roots, seeking a “po- ethics” by which to live.

Lambda Literary Award winner Larissa Lai’s Iron Goddess of Mercy is a long poem that captures the vengeful yet hopeful movement of the Furies mid- whirl and dance with them through the horror of the long now. Inspired by the tumultuous history of Hong Kong, from the Japanese and British occupations to the ongoing pro- democracy protests, the poem interrogates the complicated notion of iden-tity, offering a prism through which the term “Asian” can be understood to make sense of a complex set of relations.

Presented in sixty- four fragments to honor the sixty- four hexagrams of the I Ching, Iron Goddess of Mercy also borrows from haibun, a traditional Japanese form of travel writing in which each diary entry closes with a haiku. The poem rants, it curses, it writes love letters, but as the Iron Goddess is ever changing, so is the object of her address: a maenad, Kool- Aid, Chiang Kai- shek, the economy, a clown, freedom of speech, a monster, a machine, Iris Chang, Hannah Arendt, the Greek warrior Achilles, or a deer caught in the headlights.

Summoning the ghosts of history and politics, Iron Goddess of Mercy explores the complexities of identity through the lens of rage and empowerment.

Larissa Lai’s previous books include the novels The Tiger Flu and When Fox Is a Thousand and the poetry book Automaton Biographies. Winner of the 2020 Jim Duggins Outstanding Mid- Career Novelists’ Prize from Lambda Literary, she holds a Canada Research Chair in Creative Writing at the University of Calgary.

A beautiful and in-depth book which presents the nspirational ideas behind the iconic designs of the

internationally renowned architects O’Donnell + Tuomey.

Based in Dublin, Cork and London, O’Donnell + Tuomey Architects are revered for their work with urban design, public and private housing, and key educational and cultural buildings in Ireland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, such as the iconic London School of Economics Student Centre.

This book is somewhere between a monograph and a memoir, a studio portfolio and a personal scrapbook and describes some of the motivating ideas behind the architects’ iconic designs. Nine short essays, alternately written by Sheila O’Donnell and John Tuomey, set the theoretical background for thirteen projects carried out between 1999–2014. Illustrations range from early stage concept sketches to specific photography that has been especially commissioned for the book, to evocatively capture the essence of O’Donnell and Tuomey’s buildings.

Sheila O’Donnell and John Tuomey, who have worked together for more than thirty years, constantly look at the way in which different geographical, social and political influences have shaped their iconic works and approach to architecture generally. They pride themselves on being a studiobased practice, committed to the craft and culture of architecture, and approach each project with a fresh and open mind.

O’Donnell + Tuomey were both Professors at University College Dublin where they taught for forty years. They still regularly teach and examine in schools in the US, UK, and Europe, including Harvard, Princeton, Cambridge, and the Architectural Association.

Artemisia Gentileschi painted women with agency—and she was the

hero of her own story, too.

Artemisia Gentileschi was a painter of passions; of rich colors and fraught mo-ments; of women taking command of their own stories. She reversed the classi-cal depictions of female characters in mythology, presenting them with agency, as the protagonists of their own narratives.

And she was the hero of her own story, too. � is beautifully illustrated graphic biography follows her rise to fame and fortune as an artist of unparalleled vision, in the face of horrifying sexual abuse and systemic misogyny, during an era when woman could not legally buy painting supplies. Artemisia is an artist for our time, and for all time. Her story, as told in these pages, is as gorgeous, mov-ing and redemptive as her astonishing images.

Nathaniel Hawthorne pens a new tale to exact revenge on his ancestor, a notorious judge of the Salem witch trials.

“[Norman Lock’s fiction] shimmers with glorious language, fluid rhythms, and complex insights.” ―NPR

“Our national history and literature are Norman Lock’s playground in his dazzling series, The American Novels. . . . [His] supple, elegantly plain- spoken prose cap-tures the generosity of the American spirit in addition to its moral failures, and his passionate engagement with our literary heritage evinces pride in its unique character.” — Washington Post

“[The American Novels] bore deep into the accumulated meaning of U.S. history— think Ragtime in a fever dream.” — Library Journal

Best known for his novel The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne was bur-dened by familial shame, which began with his great- great- grandfather John Hathorne, the infamously unrepentant Salem witch trial judge. In this, the eighth standalone book in The American Novels series, we witness Hawthorne writ-ing a tale entitled Tooth of the Covenant, in which he sends his fictional surrogate, Isaac Page, back to the year 1692 to save Bridget Bishop, the first person executed for witchcraft, and rescue the other victims from execution. But when Page puts on Hathorne’s spectacles, his worldview is transformed and he loses his resolve. As he battles his conscience, he finds that it is his own life hanging in the balance.

An ingenious and profound investigation into the very notion of universal truth and morality, Tooth of the Covenant probes storytelling’s depths to raise his-tory’s dead and assuage the persistent ghost of guilt.

Norman Lock lives in Aberdeen, New Jersey, where he is at work on the next books of The American Novels series.

Comedy and tragedy collide in stories of family life in Soviet Russia and the complexities of the immigrant experience.

“Love Like Water, Love Like Fire is an extraordinary book: funny and profound, moving and provocative. Rarely has life in the former USSR (or anywhere, for that matter) been portrayed with such a rich admixture of soaring observation and finely rendered detail. This is a gorgeously constructed collection by one of our wittiest and most insightful writers.” — Molly Antopol

“[Iossel’s] point of view [is] a needed cocktail of rage, knowledge, unique personal experience, and hard- won humor.” — Aimee Bender

“Iossel is a genius, a comic visionary in the tradition of Gogol, Keret, Barthelme, and Saunders.” — Brian Morton

“Iossel is an intense and thoughtful force for decency in the world.” — George Saunders

From the moment of its founding, the USSR was reviled and admired, demon-ized and idealized. Many Jews saw the new society ushered in by the Russian Revolution as their salvation from shtetl life with its deprivations and deadly pogroms. But Soviet Russia was rife with antisemitism, and a Jewish boy growing up in Leningrad learned early, harsh, and enduring lessons.

Unsparing and poignant, Mikhail Iossel’s twenty stories of Soviet childhood and adulthood, dissidence and subsequent immigration, are filled with wit and humor even as they describe the daily absurdities of a fickle and often perilous reality.

Mikhail Iossel immigrated to the United States in 1986 from the former USSR and is an associate professor of English at Concordia University in Montreal. His stories and essays have appeared in the New Yorker, New York Times Magazine, Best American Short Stories, and elsewhere.

Four seasons of immersion in New England’s Great Marsh.

“There is nothing quite so wonderful as slipping into a creek and letting it carry you upstream. . . . It is doubly wonderful to discover someone who describes this experience with such love, lyricism, and scientific curiosity.” — William Sargent, author of The House on Ipswich Marsh

“In clear, spare prose and fine- tuned observation, [Hanlon] takes you on a jour-ney you won’t soon forget.” — Tim Traver, author of Sippewissett: Or, Life on a Salt Marsh

The Great Marsh is the largest continuous stretch of salt marsh in New England, extending from Cape Ann to New Hampshire. Patricia Hanlon and her husband built their home and raised their children alongside it. But it is not until the chil-dren are grown that they begin to swim the tidal estuary daily. Immersing herself, she experiences, with all her senses in all seasons, the vigor of a place where the two ecosystems of fresh and salt water mix, merge, and create new life.

In Swimming to the Top of the Tide, Hanlon lyrically charts her explorations, at once intimate and scientific. Noting the disruptions caused by human inter-vention, she bears witness to the vitality of the watersheds, their essential role in the natural world, and the responsibility of those who love them to contribute to their sustainability.

Patricia Hanlon is a visual artist who paints the beautiful ecosystem of New England’s Great Marsh and is involved in the watershed organizations of Greater Boston. Swimming to the Top of the Tide is her first book.

It tells of love and loss and the struggle for existence on a rough- hewn island where simple joys flash in brief moments between endless travail. It is a masterpiece and may be just the book needed for these days of social distance and uncertainty.” — Stephen Sparks, Point Reyes Books

“On nearly every page are sentences so heartbreakingly beautiful that you will want to stop and read them again. The Unseen is a quiet, understated masterpiece.” — Lori Feathers, Interabang Books

No- one can be alone on an island. But Ingrid is alone on Barrøy, the island that bears her name, and the war of her childhood has been replaced by a new, more terrible present: Norway is under the Nazi boot. When bodies from a bombed battleship begin to wash up on the shore, Ingrid can’t know that one will be alive, and warm enough to erase a lifetime of loneliness— nor can she imagine what suf-fering she will endure in protecting her lover, and the subsequent journey she will face, wrenched from her island once more, to return home. Or that, in the midst of the horrors of battle, among refugees fleeing famine and scorched earth, she’ll be given a gift, the value of which is beyond measure. Brilliantly translated by Don Bartlett and Don Shaw, White Shadow is a vividly observed exploration of conflict, love, and human endurance.

When we first met, I was a child, and she had been dead for centuries.

“One of the best books of this dreadful year . . . an extraordinary feat of ventrilo-quism delivered in a lush, lyrical prose that dazzles readers from the get-go. When you write like this there is almost nothing a writer cannot get away with.” —Sunday Times

“A book like this comes along once every few years and obliterates every clear def-inition of genre and form. I mean no exaggeration here: A Ghost in the Throat is as-tounding and utterly fresh.” —Irish Independent

“With luminous language and candid details, this book shimmers with honesty and scholarship. A truly original read.” —Sunday Independent

In the eighteenth century, on discovering her husband has been murdered, an Irish noblewoman drinks handfuls of his blood and composes an extraordinary lament that reaches across centuries to the young Doireann Ni Ghri ofa, whose fascination with it is later rekindled when she narrowly avoids fatal tragedy in her own life and becomes obsessed with learning everything she can about the poem Peter Levi has famously called “the greatest poem written in either Ireland or Britain” during its era. A kaleidoscopic blend of memoir, autofiction, and literary studies, A Ghost in the Throat moves fluidly between past and present, quest and elegy, poems and the people who make them.

Doireann Ní Ghríofa is a bilingual writer whose books explore birth, death, de-sire, and domesticity. Her awards include a Lannan Literary Fellowship, a Seamus Heaney Fellowship, the Ostana Prize, and the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature, among others. This is her prose debut.

From plantation rebellion and Indigenous land theft to prison labor’s super-

exploitation, Walcott examines the relationship between policing and property.

That a man can lose his life for passing a fake $20 bill, when we know our econo-mies are flush with fake money, says something damning about the way we’ve organized society. In On Property, Rinaldo Walcott contextualizes the signifi-cance of riots as part of social change by outlining a history of property damage as located in plantation rebellion, arguing that at the nexus of the current discourse on policing and violence is the unavoidable fact that criminal codes value prop-erty more than human life— and thus change isn’t possible until we rethink the very idea of private property itself.

An argument against the liberal paradigm of allyship in favor of movements based

on Black self- determination.

Blackout Tuesday was the pivotal moment, Andray Domise argues, when street- level protests were uploaded to corporate boardrooms and the grassroots protest movement begun after the murder of George Floyd turned from rebellion against white supremacist state violence to a corporatized love- in— what Malcom X dubbed “the circus.” In On Killing a Revolution, Domise analyzes the co- opting by liberal interests of Black liberation movements ranging from Haiti to Burkina Faso to Canada and the United States and argues for a new kind of revolution based on Black self- determination instead of assimilation into bourgeois white liberal politics.

The story of a prison in crisis at a pivotal time in history— when the disenfranchised began rebelling

against institutional discrimination.

On April 14, 1971, prisoners attacked the guards at Kingston Penitentiary and seized control, making headlines around the world and drawing international at-tention to the dehumanizing realities of incarceration. Like the uprising at the Attica Correctional Facility in upstate New York that occurred later that year, a watershed moment for American civil rights, the Kingston rebellion was a pivotal moment in Canadian thinking. Until now, few have known the story— yet the tense prison drama chronicled in this book is as relevant today as it was fifty years ago, as North America’s correctional systems remain mired in crisis.

The people who created today’s world order may now have left public office, but they have not retired. What are they doing,

and how does it affect the rest of us?

“In Giles Edwards the ancients of the world’s political tribes have found their number one anthropologist. With insight and humanity, he analyses both their characters and their efforts to move the global influence markets in this fascinat-ing study.” — Peter Hennessy

The men and women who created today’s liberal, democratic, globalised world order may now have left public office, but they have not retired. So, what are they doing, and how does it affect the rest of us?

In The Ex Men, Giles Edwards sets out to answer that question, uncovering the many ways in which former Presidents and Prime Ministers continue to af-fect global public life.

From running international organisations to monitoring elections, advising companies and charities and giving hundred- thousand- dollar speeches, Giles takes us inside this often- hidden world. He has interviewed more than twenty former leaders, from Presidents overthrown in coups to winners of Nobel Prizes. He has spent time at their clubs and resorts, spoken to the people who work with them, and to the organisations and individuals who hire them.

But how much do they really achieve? And does all this frantic activity amount to anything more than money- making or legacy- burnishing?

Giles Edwards is a producer and documentary maker for the BBC.

It is now a commonplace argument that capitalism is under threat. But what is the underlying problem?

“Bernard Connolly is one of the five most prescient global financial strate-gists in the world today. Everything he writes is light years ahead of the pack.” — David Smick, The International Economy

“There are plenty of books already out on the subject. Few are written or likely to be written by an economist with the depth of understanding of both the politi-cal and economic drivers of the shifting sands of the west as Bernard Connolly.” — MoneyWeek

This brilliant book by the bestselling author of The Rotten Heart of Europe argues that both capitalism’s defenders and its detractors are wrong. The principal cul-prit is not the moral failure of individuals, nor structural failures in politics and society—glaring though failures of both sorts have been. Instead, there has been a catastrophic intellectual failure. The academic macroeconomics industry and the central banks who are both patron and client of that industry are themselves in the process of destroying capitalism.

In this epoch- defining book, internationally acclaimed economist Bernard Connolly argues that getting off the conveyor belt to destruction is possible, but it will require a profound reorientation of social structures and a whole new under-standing of economics.

Bernard Connolly is an internationally acclaimed economist and author with experience both of policy- making and policymakers and of financial markets.

The royal family: the quintessential British institution or an antiquated, overindulged drain on the taxpayer?

“Filled with fascinating detail and insight, . . . And What Do You Do? is an essential primer for understanding the myth of modern royalty.” — Daily Mail

For all their foibles and idiosyncrasies, the royal family wield considerable influence— and yet rather than facing the scrutiny their position merits, they enjoy sickeningly obsequious coverage which reports their activities with breath-less awe.

. . . And What Do You Do? is a provocative and hard- hitting analysis, expos-ing the royals’ extravagant use of public money and the highly dubious behav-iour of some among their number. Former Minister of State and current Privy Counsellor Norman Baker breaks ranks to explore the wider role the royals play in society, including the link with House of Lords reform and the constitutional position of the monarch.

Now fully updated to include new material on Prince Andrew, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, this irreverent and uncompromising account asks urgent questions about the future of the world’s most famous royal family.

Norman Baker was the Liberal Democrat Member of Parliament for Lewes from 1997 to 2015 and was a British government minister from 2010 to 2015.

The Inspector Hunkeler Series5⅛ x 7⁶⁄₇ | 268 pp


eBook available

It all begins with two murders, an old man found dead on a street bench in Basel and a prostitute pulled out of a nearby lake. Both strangled and both found with their left earlobes slit. Inspector Hunkeler of the Basel police investigates and is soon faced with the consequences of certain

recent events in Swiss history that everyone wants to keep buried.

The first novel available in English from a highly acclaimed series featuring Police Inspector Peter Hunkeler, a character who has acquired legendary status in crime fiction written in German. The Basel Killings won the prestigious Friedrich Glauser Mystery Prize.

It is the end of October and the northern Swiss city of Basel is grey and wet. It could be December. It is just after midnight when Hunkeler, on his way home and slightly worse for wear, spots old man Hardy sitting on a bench under a streetlight. He wants to smoke a cigarette with him, but the usually very lo-quacious Hardy is silent— his throat a gaping wound. Turns out he was first strangled, then his left earlobe slit, his diamond stud stolen. The media and the police come quickly to the same conclusion: Hardy’s murder was the work of a gang of Albanian drug smugglers.

But for Hunkeler that seems too obvious. Hardy’s murder has much in com-mon with the case of Barbara Amsler, a prostitute also found killed with an ear slit, and her pearl stud missing. He follows his own intuition and the trail leads him deep into a dark world of bars, bordellos and strip clubs, but also into the corrupt core of some of Basel’s political and industrial elite. More ominously, he will soon discover the consequences of certain events in recent Swiss history that those in power would prefer to keep far from the public eye.

Guido Guerrieri Series5⅛ x 7⁶⁄₇ | 288 pp


eBook available

A taught legal thriller and a meditation about the ravages of time.

The latest in the highly successful Guido Guerrieri series, shortlisted for the 2020 STREGA prize, Italy’s most prestigious literary award. It is a tense court-room drama set in Southern Italy, but also a tale about passion and about the passage of time. Guerrieri had fallen in love decades earlier with Lorenza, a beautiful older woman who was in his eyes sophisticated and intellectual. She made wonderful love and opened his mind to high literature, but ultimately treated him as a plaything and discarded him.

One spring afternoon Lorenza shows up in Guerrieri’s office. Her son Jacopo, a small- time delinquent, stands convicted of the first- degree murder of a local drug dealer. Her trial lawyer has died, so for the appeal, she turns to Guerrieri. Guido is not convinced of the innocence of Lorenza’s son, nor does he have fond memories of how their relationship ended two decades earlier. Nevertheless, he accepts the case; perhaps to pay a melancholy homage to the ghosts of his youth.

The veracity of Carofiglio’s work is rooted in his past as an anti- Mafia prose-cutor in southern Italy. He has prosecuted cases of corruption, organized crime and human trafficking. From John Mortimer to Scott Turow, quite a few court-room stars have also shone in mystery fiction. Hardly any can have worked closer to the cutting- edge of organized thuggery than Carofiglio who used to serve as an anti- gang prosecutor in Bari, where the series is set.

Disgraced British spy August Drummond is on his way to Istanbul when he sees a passenger throw away directions to a cemetery

just moments before being arrested. August can’t resist the temptation to go in his place. But when he comes face to face with a terrifying

figure from Islamic State, he realizes he’s about to confront the greatest challenge of his career . . .

Following on from the acclaimed debut novel Beside the Syrian Sea, this is the second title in a planned trilogy about loyalty and betrayal in the modern world. How to Betray Your Country is an authentic thriller about the thin line between following your conscience and following orders. James Wolff is the pseudonym of a young English novelist who “has been working for the British government for the last ten years.”

Things are looking bad for disgraced spy August Drummond. In emotional free fall after the death of his wife, fired for a series of security breaches— and now his neighbor on the flight to Istanbul won’t stop talking. The only thing keeping August sane is the hunch that there’s something not quite right about the nervous young man several rows ahead— a hunch confirmed when August watches him throw away directions to a European cemetery seconds before being detained by Turkish police. A reckless August decides to go to the ceme-tery, where he meets a mysterious figure from the dark heart of the Islamic State and quickly finds himself drawn into a shadowy plot to murder an Iranian scien-tist in Istanbul.

But nothing is what it seems, and before long August realizes he has gone too far to turn back. As he struggles to break free from the clutches of Islamic State and play off British intelligence against their Turkish counterparts, he will find his resourcefulness, ingenuity and courage tested to the very limit of what he can endure.

Explore the fascinating world of artist Morgan Howell— a must for all vinyl junkies, music heads and art lovers.

When artist Morgan Howell paints classic 7" singles, he takes into account every crease, every tear, every imperfection— producing a one- off, truly unique art-work, almost identical to the owner’s original copy, but blown up, supersize, to twelve by twelve inches, and three dimensional, with the spindle in the center, as if the record is ready to play.

This completely original approach has resulted in Howell attracting a cult following amongst art collectors and musicians alike— with paintings commis-sioned by the likes of Neil Diamond, Jude Law, Edgar Wright, The Stone Roses’ Ian Brown, and major music labels selecting the artist’s work for display in their headquarters, like Yesterday by The Beatles in the Capitol Building in L.A.

Morgan Howell at 45 RPM beautifully documents ninety-five of Howell’s crea-tions, from Tutti Frutti by Little Richard, to Heart of Glass by Blondie, to Gimme Shelter by The Rolling Stones, to Waterloo Sunset by The Kinks. The artworks are shown in full, alongside evocative commentaries from fans of Howell’s work, in-cluding The Smiths’ Johnny Marr, Spandau Ballet’s Gary Kemp, comedian Al Murray, journalist Tony Parsons, actress Kay Mellor, Happy Mondays’ Shaun Ryder, producer William Orbit, and composer Andrew Lloyd Webber.

The book features an in- depth interview with Morgan Howell, exploring his process as an artist and why, for him, music and art are intrinsically linked. With a format perfectly designed to fit on record shelves, this book is a must for vinyl junkies, music heads and art lovers everywhere.

This book conveys the power of Johnnie Cooper’s most recent body of work, which was painted at night

and brings a darker and more abstract emotion to the fore.

Following on from Johnnie Cooper’s two other publications from Black Dog Press, Sunset Strip (2019) and Fractured Light (2020), The Listener centers on the most recent major body of work by the British Abstract artist.

Inspired by Walter de la Mare’s brooding poem “The Listeners” (1912), this beautifully- presented book brilliantly conveys the power of Cooper’s monochro-matic collection of paintings. These works serve as a meditation on the lived ex-perience and the rich atmosphere of the artist’s rural surroundings.

The Listener documents an important shift in Cooper’s practice, in tone— texture and also material, with the introduction of industrial bitumen paint. Overall, the paintings, which were executed at nighttime, bring a darker and more abstract emotion to the fore, confirming Johnnie Cooper’s current status as one of the most diverse and important British artists working in the United Kingdom today.

But only a host of phantom listenersThat dwelt in the lone house thenStood listening in the quiet of the moonlightTo that voice from the world of men:Stood thronging the faint moonbeams on the dark stair,That goes down to the empty hall,Hearkening in an air stirred and shakenBy the lonely Traveller’s call.

Black artists of the avant- garde have always defined the future.

Blackspace: On the Poetics of an Afrofuture is the culmination of six years of multi-disciplinary research by trans poet and curator Anaïs Duplan about the aesthetic strategies used by experimental artists of color since the 1960s to pursue libera-tory possibility. Through a series of lyric essays, interviews with contemporary artists and writers of color, and ekphrastic poetry, Duplan deconstructs how crea-tive people frame their relationships to the word, “liberation.” With a focus on creatives who use digital media and language- as- technology— luminaries like Actress, Juliana Huxtable, Lawrence Andrews, Tony Cokes, Sondra Perry, and Nathaniel Mackey— Duplan offers three lenses for thinking about liberation: the personal, the social, and the existential. Arguing that true freedom is impossible without considering all three, the book culminates with a personal essay meditat-ing on the author’s own journey of gender transition while writing the book.

Anaïs Duplan is a trans* poet, curator, and artist. He is the founding curator for the Center for Afrofuturist Studies, an artist residency program for artists of color, based in Iowa City. He has worked as an adjunct poetry professor at the University of Iowa, Columbia University, Sarah Lawrence, and St. Joseph’s College. He was a 2017– 2019 joint Public Programs Fellow at the Museum of Modern Art and the Studio Museum in Harlem.

These funny, sensitive, and wonderfully weird poems weave the familial with the

surreal, and the airy with the erudite.

Nests in Air is constructed around the proposition that a poem is a verbal nest, a weave of various scraps and strands inside of which something incubates. The book blends research of animals’ nest making habits with poetic forms that use refrain and repetition to create imaginative spaces, at once personal and political, social and ecological, marked by conflict, contradiction, and uncertainty. Sets of four poems are followed by suites of four images that reroute each other, opening new milieus.

Nathan Hoks is the author of Reveilles and The Narrow Circle, as well as the chap-book Moony Days of Being. He teaches at the University of Chicago and at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and is an editor and printer for Convulsive Editions, a micro- press that publishes handmade poetry chapbooks.

In this first full- length English- language translation of the work of Helena Boberg, we are powerfully confronted with “a creative testimony that points out patterns of injustice, sexism, and violence.” A book- length poem that hinges on the dichotomy of a masculine will to power and a call to action for a feminine collective to confront it on all corners— from mythologies to cultural tropes and ingrained hierarchies.

A hybrid collection of poetry and prose, The New World follows the attempts, failures, and re- attempts at understanding and articulating an era of immense social upheaval, political corruption, and environmental consequence. In five dis-tinct sections, the book refracts, explores, and investigates these global themes through the realm of the personal and private. Escapism and arrival, growth and decay, and despair and optimism as they occur, often simultaneously, within the mind of our narrator.

Kim Min Jeong exposes the often funny and contradictory rifts that appear in the language of everyday circumstance. She uses slang, puns, cultural referents, and “naughty, unwomanly” language in order to challenge readers to expand their ideas of not only what a poem is, but also how women should speak. These poems reveal the illogical systems of power behind the apparent structures that govern the logic of everyday life.

Part hiking guide, part photography collection, this book details the history of the lookout towers, a guide to the trails, and the views at their summits.

Peter J. Barr is an accomplished hiker and preservationist. He served as Conserving Carolina’s Trails Director for a decade.

Kevin Adams is a naturalist, teacher, photographer, and author of nine books, including the bestselling North Carolina Waterfalls.

The ultimate reader’s companion to poetry: 100 classic poems from five centuries with lively

“companion” commentaries to go with and illuminate each poem.

As well as journeying with the reader through some of the greatest poems in the English language, The Heavy Bear encounters many modern American poets, not least Delmore Schwartz, whose sense of conflict between self and society gave birth to this anthology’s title- poem, “The Heavy Bear Who Goes with Me.”

The “heavy bear” can be many things which go with the bearer: another self or alter ego, the burden of poetry or art, what weighs us down and makes us do what we don’t really want to do as well as what pulls us back to our selves, the animal side which makes us bearable or human.

The editors’ highly original compilation ranges from Wyatt, Ralegh, and Shakespeare in the sixteenth century, to Donne, Milton and Marvell in the seventeenth, to Swift, Pope, and Johnson in the eighteenth. It embraces the Romantic visions of Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, and Keats, as well as the later, darker outlook of Browning, Tennyson, and Hardy, and seeks enlighten-ment in the shadowlands of Emily Dickinson, Wilde, and Yeats.

Both editors are renowned communicators of poetry: Brendan Kennelly as one of Ireland’s best- loved poets, as Professor of Modern Literature at Trinity College Dublin, and as a popular cultural commentator on Irish television; Neil Astley as founder and editor of Bloodaxe Books and editor of the Staying Alive anthology series. Publication marks Brendan Kennelly’s eighty- fifth birthday.

Neo- confessional poems about moving back to the suburbs, raising a family, sustaining a marriage, and facing

the humility that comes with growing older.

Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize- winning poet and nationally recognized literary critic Craig Morgan Teicher’s Welcome to Sonnetville, NJ is a poetry collection about entering middle- age, raising a young family, sustaining a marriage, and taking care of a severely disabled child. Built around two sequences of sonnets, and interrupted by two sets of lyric poems, a set of prose poems, and a long poem about death, the book narrates a family’s move to the suburbs and their coming to terms with ghosts of the past and with hard- to- hold hopes for the future.

From “I Am a Father Now”:

I have never been as mortal as now. I bend low,my back aching and breaking under grateful weight.No matter— I’ll grow another. I have my childrento thank for my bending body, which is borna hundred times each day, dying every breath.

Craig Morgan Teicher is the author of three previous books of poems: The Trembling Answers (BOA, 2017), which won the 2015 Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize; To Keep Love Blurry (BOA, 2012); and Brenda Is in the Room and Other Poems, (CLP, 2007), winner of the Colorado Prize for Poetry. He also wrote Cradle Book: Stories and Fables (BOA, 2010) and the chapbook Ambivalence and Other Conundrums (Omnidawn, 2014). His first collection of essays, We Begin in Gladness: How Poets Progress, was published by Graywolf in November 2018.

exploring motherhood, pop culture, and resistance with a spirit of defiance,

Kendra DeColo reaffirms the action of mothering as heroic, brutal, and hardcore. These poems interrogate patriarchal narratives about childbirth, postpartum healing, and motherhood through the lens of pop culture and the political zeit-geist. With a nod to Courtney Love and a wink at Nicholas Cage, DeColo pushes the boundaries of what mothers are allowed to be and desire.

In the year 2514, the only thing more dangerous than the seas is those who sail them.

“I don’t remember reading anything quite like this in the sci- fi fantasy genre; defi-nitely a new voice and a unique style.” — Curve Magazine

For Compass Rose, life aboard the mercenary ship Man o’ War is rarely dull as hurricanes, swarms of jellyfish, and man- eating squid pose daily doses of danger. As intrigue and subterfuge from enemies old and new begin to surround its cap-tain, the infamous Miranda Stillwater, even an uncanny sense of direction won’t be enough to help Rose navigate these dangerous straits. As dark secrets bubble to the surface and everything she’s fought so hard for begins to crumble, Rose learns the hard way that she’ll have to rely on the only person who can save her from certain disaster.

Unfortunately, that person is Compass Rose herself.This swashbuckling twenty- sixth- century high- seas adventure novel is fast-

paced, whip- smart, and quirky, yet it manages to deliver a healthy dose of heart, humor, and humility on every single page.

Anna Burke graduated from Smith College with degrees in English Literature and Studio Art, and she is currently pursuing an MFA in Creative Writing at Emerson College. Her queer feminist novel, Thorn, was named 2019 LGBT+ Fiction Book of the Year by Foreword Reviews.

“Cheryl Head delivers Motor City details that ring true, characters that swag-ger off the page, and a story that should surprise even the savviest readers.” — Elizabeth Sims, author of the Lambda Literary Award- winning Lillian Byrd Mysteries

“Lively, intelligent, and emotionally compelling. This crime drama does not dis-appoint.” — Ellen Hart, Mystery Writers of America Grand Master

A hate group operating in Michigan has claimed responsibility for a string of arson fires and robberies at mosques, temples, and black churches around Detroit, eluding police and federal agencies. The most recent fire at a mosque kills a respected imam. His children— suspicious of law enforcement’s treatment of Muslims, and afraid of reprisal— hires Charlie Mack and her team of investi-gators to find their father’s murderers. The Mack team begins to hunt down the clues in this local hate crime, but they aren’t prepared when they realize that those clues are pointing to a widespread conspiracy that runs through elected state officials and up to the highest levels of national leadership. FBI agent James Saleh returns to help the Mack Agency take down a homegrown militia hell- bent on starting a race war in America.

A Detroit native, Cheryl A. Head now lives on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. Her debut novel, Bury Me When I’m Dead was a Lambda Literary Award final-ist and included in the Detroit Public Library’s African American Booklist.

After two acquaintances are murdered, dapper dyke Cantor Gold struggles to prove her innocence while grappling to understand

her place among the changing tides of society.

“Cantor Gold is one in a million and it is a pleasure getting to know the strutting butch art thief.” — Valden Bush, The Lesbian Review

New York City, 1954.Two women are found murdered. One is Lorraine Quinn, Cantor Gold’s fa-

vorite one- night- stand. The other, is prominent New York socialite Eve Garraway, a regular client of Cantor’s stolen art trade.

Police nemesis, Lieutenant Norm Huber, wants to pin the murders on Cantor, send her to prison, and put her in the electric chair. He’ll get evidence on her any way he can. Into this cauldron of danger and death come two other women, each with ties to Cantor’s past. One hates her until passion intervenes; the other har-bors darkly hidden feelings.

Set during the earliest stirrings of the Homosexual Rights Movement, Cantor Gold, dapper butch art thief and smuggler for whom survival is everything, must now navigate two fronts: surviving the shifting sands of the criminal underworld, and navigating the changing tides of the world around her.

Native New Yorker Ann Aptaker’s Cantor Gold Crime series has been the recipi-ent of the Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Mystery. Culminating a career as a curator for museums and galleries, Ann is currently an art writer for various New York clients and is an adjunct professor of art history at the New York Institute of Technology.

This sizzling story collection introduces readers to complicated characters, male and female, who find themselves at the crossroads of Black Life in America, illustrating the challenges

they face, and the price they pay, to live authentic lives.

“Okonkwo mashes up essences of Hurston and Hughes and Fitzgerald into a heady mixtape of a romance: driving and rhythmic as an Armstrong Hot Five record, sensuous as the small of a Cotton Club chorus girl’s back.” — Larry Duplechan, author of Blackbird

The eclectic stories in this sizzling collection offer a visceral magic that is thrum-ming with raw grit and contemporary twists.

A young Black woman defies her community, and a gay man’s concept of beauty is rocked. A ménage à trois becomes uncomfortable for unexpected rea-sons, and a sixteen- year- old embarks upon a dangerous seduction that could destroy numerous lives. An unemployed, pot- smoking technophobe stumbles into a job that blows up his resistance to change, and two opera- loving Black men, opposites in every way, launch into a contentious love affair.

Joe Okonkwo’s brilliant, viscerally drawn characters in Kiss the Scars on the Back of My Neck vibrate with raw energy and power as they brave (and resist) the damaging emotional effects of negative body image and loneliness, black- on- black racism, the changing nature of romantic relationships, and the complica-tions of living in a relentlessly digital world.

Joe Okonkwo is an award- winning novelist, short story writer, and editor. His debut novel Jazz Moon won the Publishing Triangle’s prestigious 2016 Edmund White Award for Debut Fiction and was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award for Best Gay Fiction. He lives in New York, New York.

This searing debut novel chronicles a challenging and disruptive year in the life of a young, gay teacher in the waning years of Obama’s America.

Thomas McGurrin, a fourth- grade teacher and openly gay man at a private pri-mary school serving Portland, Oregon’s wealthy progressive elite, is falsely ac-cused inappropriately touching a male student. The accusation comes just as Thomas is being thrust back into the center of his unusual family by his younger brother’s battle with cancer. Although cleared of the accusation, Thomas is forced to resign from a job he loves and, while his brother’s battles continue, Thomas finds himself entangled in another, potentially life- changing family drama.

Davison’s novel explores the discrepancy between the progressive ideals and persistent negative stereotypes among the privileged regarding social status, race, and sexual orientation and the impact of that discrepancy on friendships and family relations.

By turn rueful, humorous, angry, and wise, Doubting Thomas marks the debut of an important writer.

Matthew Clark Davison is a writer and educator living in San Francisco. His prose has been recently anthologized in Empty The Pews and 580- Split, and pub-lished in Guernica, The Atlantic Monthly, Foglifter, Lumina Magazine, Fourteen Hills, Per Contra, Educe, and others; and has been recognized with a Creative Work Grant from San Francisco State University), Cultural Equities Grant from the San Francisco Arts Commission, the Clark Gross Award for a Novel- in- Progress, and a Stonewall Alumni Award.

The fascinating untold story of the birth of Africa’s most populous nation.

Formation tracks the unlikely series of events and characters that led to the crea-tion of the modern Nigerian nation: from 1804 when the first jihadists began their attack on a collection of independent nations to 1914 when the current shape of Nigeria was completed as a British colony through amalgamation.

Formation sheds light on an increasingly forgotten and largely mythologized period of Nigeria’s history; revealing an incredibly complicated portrait of a na-tion with a tangled history, where violence was and remains a primary organizing principle for elite competition and political negotiations. Influential figures loom large over the narrative including: Usman dan Fodio, Modibbo Adama, Frederick Lugard, Samuel Ajayi- Crowther, Funmilayo Ransome- Kuti, Flora Shaw, Joseph Chamberlain, alongside other well- known and many less familiar names.

Sixty years on from independence, Formation arrives at a critical time when the world is reawakening to the struggles of Black people, exploring the histories behind them.

Fola Fagbule was born in Lagos, Nigeria. A banker and investment profes-sional for the best part of the last two decades, he has previously made a living as a writer, working as a securities analyst developing and publishing research on companies listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange.

Feyi Fawehinmi was born in Lagos, Nigeria and has spent the last fifteen years working in the financial services industry. Feyi has been writing publicly for over a decade on his popular personal blog and in traditional media outlets in Nigeria, Britain and the United States.

An evocative novel that taps into the soul of Tizita music.

In the seedy ABC boxing club in Nairobi, four musicians— The Diva, The Corporal, the Taliban Man, and Miriam— gather for a competition to see who can perform the best Tizita. Listening from the audience is Kenyan tabloid journalist John Thandi Manfredi, whose own life makes him vulnerable to the Tizita. Desperate to learn more, he follows the musicians back to Ethiopia, hoping to learn the secret to the music from their personal lives and histories. Unbury Our Dead With Song captures what it means to have an encounter with the sublime, and the complicated language of music, profound melancholia, and yearning.

Mũkoma Wa Ngũgĩ is an Associate Professor of English at Cornell University and the son of writer Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o. He is the author of The Rise of the African Novel: Politics of Language, Identity and Ownership; the novels Mrs. Shaw, Black Star Nairobi, and Nairobi Heat; and two books of poetry, Logotherapy and Hurling Words at Consciousness.

“Patriarchy does not respect national boundaries. It is unabashedly promiscuous

in its influences and tethers. Yet, it does use nationalism very productively.”

Female Fear Factory traces the construction and machinations of one of patriar-chy’s most potent weapons, fear. Drawing on examples from around the world, Pumla Dineo Gqola exposes the lies, myths and seductions of the female fear factory, which uses terror as a tool of patriarchal subjugation and punishment. This is a sobering account of patriarchal violence in the world, and a hopeful vision for the work of unapologetic feminist imaginative strategies across the globe.

Pumla Dineo Gqola is an award- winning feminist author and Research Professor at the Centre for Women and Gender Studies at the Nelson Mandela University in South Africa. Her books include Rape: A South African Nightmare (2015), which won the 2016 Sunday Times Alan Paton Award for Non- Fiction, and Reflecting Rogue: Inside the Mind of a Feminist (2017). Her short stories have been published in literary journals and anthologies on three continents.

A gritty coming- of- age story set in the Umlazi Township near Durban, South Africa, where seventeen- year- old Sipho discovers the thrills and consequences of a car theft life.

Winner of the 2011 Herman Charles Bosman Award, the Sunday Times Fiction Prize, and the Wole Soyinka Prize for Literature in Africa.

“A thrilling, action- packed diamond in the rough.” — Tshepo Tshabalala, Tonight (South Africa)

Cars, money, girls: this is what you need to get ahead in Umlazi, a township on the outskirts of Durban, South Africa. Sipho, a seventeen- year- old from Umlazi, drops out of high school and joins a carjacking syndicate to make a name for himself and escape his family’s low- income life. Along with hijacking partners Musa and Vusi, Sipho learns the tricks of the dangerous trade and pushes deeper into the underbelly of Umlazi under the guidance of gang leader Sibani, while partying heavily and chasing women nightly despite loving his longtime girl-friend Nana.

Candid and unapologetic, Young Blood is the story of the intricate balance of circumstance and choice, swift gain and incredible loss, as Sipho finds out how far he can push his luck before the damage is irrevocable— and the consequences deadly. Both a red- hot crime novel of car heists, sex, and rival gangs and a coming-of-age story of a teenager navigating the costs of the fast life, Young Blood reveals the devastating violence and raw beauty of life in South Africa’s townships.

Sifiso Mzobe was born and raised in the Durban township of Umlazi, where he still resides and works for a community newspaper as a journalist. He studied Journalism at Durban’s Damelin Business Campus. Young Blood is Mzobe’s debut novel.

A stunning graphic novel set in Lake Tanganyika, Congo in 1915, based on the true story of two vastly different men who take on a virtually impossible military mission: to sink the German warship, the Graf Von Götzen.

Madame Livingstone is based on the true story of the unlikely partnership be-tween a Belgian and an African responsible for sinking a critical German battle-ship during World War I. Aviator Gaston Mercier of the Royal Belgian Army arrives at Lake Tanganyika, Congo on orders to sink the Graf Von Götzen. To find out the ship’s position, he is assigned a guide—an enigmatic, mixed- race African and the supposed son of famous explorer David Livingstone who is nicknamed “Madame Livingstone” for the Scottish kilt he wears. Little by little, while the war between colonial powers rages on and the pair hunt down the warship, the young pilot learns about the land around him from Madame Livingstone and discovers the irrevocable effects of colonialism on the local people.

Madame Livingstone is translated from its original French and accompanied by full- color illustrations displaying Congo’s unique beauty.

In his exceptionally thought- provoking and moving memoir, neurosurgeon Joseph D. Stern explores how personal loss

influences the way physicians relate to patients and their families.

How does a doctor who deals with the death of patients on a regular basis con-front his own loss when his beloved family member is living out her last days?

Despite a career as a neurosurgeon, Joseph Stern learned more about the na-ture of illness and death after his younger sister Victoria developed leukemia than his formal medical training ever taught him. Her death broke down the self- protective barriers he had built to perform his job and led to a profound shift in his approach to medicine.

During the year of her illness, Dr. Stern developed a greater awareness of the needs of patients and their families; of the burdens they carry; of the im-portance of connection, communication, and gratitude; and of what it means to ask the right questions. Grief Connects Us intimately explores the impact of per-sonal loss on physicians and the ways in which they integrate it into their pro-fessional lives, providing a blueprint for change that places compassion and empathy at the center of the practice of medicine.

Joseph Stern, MD is a partner in the country’s largest neurosurgical group prac-tice, Carolina Neurosurgery and Spine Associates, and practices neurosurgery in Greensboro, North Carolina. He is Director of Neurosciences at Cone Health, co- director of the Cone Health brain tumor program, and president of the Cone Health spine co- management program.

From the authors of the Irrelationship series comes an insightful guidebook for enhancing the most vital relationship

in every person’s life— the one they have with themselves.

Making Your Crazy Work for You adopts the irrelationship model to present a step- by- step program for self- understanding and catalyzing change. Our “crazy” refers to our unique reaction to our own pain, fear, and anxiety brought on by isolation from others and ourself. This unrecognized isolation can occur even when we are surrounded by other people in our daily lives. However, by learning to listen to our craziness, we can use it as a tool for ending isolation and opening up to love.

Drawn from the authors’ experience in clinical practice, each chapter features new case studies, exercises, and tools to help readers to reverse unhealthy behav-ior patterns; learn to access their genuine emotions, needs, and ideas; and create better relationships.

Mark B. Borg, Jr., PhD is a community psychologist and psychoanalyst, found-ing partner of The Community Consulting Group, and a supervisor of psycho-therapy at the William Alanson White Institute.

The definitive history of how the “Big Book” of Alcoholics Anonymous was written, edited, and finally brought to press—now in paperback.

It has been over forty years since Ernie Kurtz wrote Not- God, the last truly professional treatment of the history of Alcoholics Anonymous. While many books about A.A. history have been written since then, Writing the Big Book is the first to bring that same kind of exhaustive research and informed insight to the subject.

William H. Schaberg’s book is based primarily on the wealth of 1930s docu-ments currently preserved in several A.A. archives. Woven together into an ex-citing narrative, these real- time documents provide an almost week- by- week account of how the book was put together. It is a story that unfolds with many unexpected turns and revealing departures from the hallowed stories so widely circulated by A.A. members in the past.

Fast paced, engaging, and contrary, Writing the Big Book will decisively change whatever you think you know about early A.A. history and the ways in which this book— so central to the worldwide growth of this important twentieth century movement of spiritual recovery— actually came into being.

William H. Schaberg is a rare book dealer based in Fairfield, Connecticut. His interest in the history of ideas inspired his first scholarly work, The Nietzsche Canon (University of Chicago Press, 1995). Schaberg’s investigation into the authorship of Alcoholics Anonymous was an eleven- year project that began with bibliographical confusion over the text’s prepublication history and culminated in an unprecedented chronology of the “Big Book” origins.

An “ideal notebook” records the Proustian, allusive wanderings of a young writer in Mexico City awaiting her lover’s return.

“A glorious tapestry of ideas.” — The Guardian

“A meditation on writing itself.” — 3:AM Magazine

“Experimental, witty and disruptive.” — Splice

Recovering from an unspecified accident, our narrator finds herself in airport departure lounges, doctors’ surgeries, and above all at home, awaiting the return of her boyfriend, who has travelled to Spain following the death of his mother. Loop is a love story told from the perspective of a contemporary Penelope who, instead of weaving and unravelling her shroud, writes and erases her thoughts in her ‘ideal’ notebook. At once funny and thought- provoking, the novel ranges from stationery preferences to the different scales on which life is lived, with a cast of unlikely characters who cross the page: a mysterious neighborhood dwarf, a dreamy cat, David Bowie singing “Wild is the Wind”. Loop is the jour-nal of an absence, one in which the most minute or whimsical observations open universes. Combining aphoristic fragments with introspective narrative, this original reflection on relationships, solitude and the purpose of writing offers a glimpse of contemporary life in Mexico City, while asking what it really means to find our place in the world.

Brenda Lozano studied literature in Mexico and the United States. In 2015, she was recognised by the Hay Festival and the British Council as one of the leading Mexican authors and she was selected by the Hay Festival in 2017 as one of the Bogotá39, a list of the most outstanding new authors from Latin America.

Alternating between refugees occupying a building, a father’s sickness, and a wife’s pregnancy, Occupation

examines the fragility of life and the brutality of not belonging.

Praise for Julián Fuks:

“Fuks’s skill lies in his quiet exploration of how exclusion—willed or imposed—shapes experience within families.” —New York Times

Fuks impeccably builds associations that go beyond the obvious, glimpsing life’s beginning and end while exposing the frailty of life, the risk of solitude and the brutality of not belonging.

Julián Fuks was born in São Paulo in 1981 and is the son of Argentinian par-ents. His novel Resistance was the winner of the Jabuti Award for Book of the Year (2016), the Oceanos Prize (2016), the José Saramago Literary Prize (2017) and the Anna Seghers Prize (2018). Helives in São Paulo.

The mountains of Argentina pulse with life in these disarming stories of people radically reinventing themselves.

Childhood does not last long in the mountains of Córdoba, and adult lives fall apart quickly. In a blizzard, a widow watches the ruin of her late husband’s gar-den.

When his family’s home is lost, a father des-perately offers his daughter’s hand in marriage to anyone who will take them in. And a town’s mayor tries to fulfill his father’s dying wish—to design the perfect cemetery.

Federico Falco is an Argentinian writer and poet. He holds an MFA in Creative Writing in Spanish from New York University and in 2010 Granta selected him as one of The Best of Young Spanish Language Novelists.

Praise for Claudia Piñeiro:

“Not for nothing is Claudia Piñeiro Argentina’s most popular crime writer.” —the Times

“Piñeiro (All Yours) keeps the reader hooked.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

“Those willing to take the time to enjoy the style and the unusual denouement will find themselves wondering why more crime authors don’t take the kinds of risks Piñeiro does.” —Booklist

“Piñeiro is AWESOME. Her books are dark, have buckets of atmosphere, and they all feel entirely different.” —Book Riot

In a single day, a journey across Buenos Aires reveals a daughter to her mother, a mother to herself, and the oppressive weight of received ideas to women con-nected by a fleeting encounter, twenty years before.

Claudia Piñeiro is best known for her crime novels which are bestsellers in Argentina, Latin American and around the world. More recently, Piñeiro has be-come a very active figure in the fight for the legalization of abortion in Argentina and for the legal recognition of writers as workers.

A lyric essay that examines grief and transformation through the lens of mystical animal appearances

following the death of the narrator’s young partner.

“Annie Connole is the real deal. A writer of uncommon nuance, she goes her own way, mixing text and image, poetry (or poetic intention) and starkly vivid prose to trace a landscape where the inner and the outer, the human and the elemental, merge into the landscape of the mythic, which is, of course, the landscape we all traverse each day. Her writing is fierce, her perspective sharp but also open―to both the differences and affinities between her and what she sees. Call it an en-gagement, art as the pursuit of deep connection, both to ourselves and the natural world. This is writing that enlarges us as we read.” ―David Ulin, critic and author

This book- length lyric essay with photographs traverses the wild landscapes of the American West to create a lucid, dream- like vision of visitations and allegori-cal animal encounters with Snake, Owl, and Dragonfly, among others. The Spring tells a stirring, elegiac tale of death, love, rebirth, survival, and resilience.

Annie Connole is an essayist, photographer. and playwright living in Southern California. She was born and raised in the rocky highlands of Helena, Montana. Annie received a BA from The New School where she studied art and philosophy and an MFA in Creative Writing from University of California Riverside―Palm Desert. Her essays have appeared in Writers Resist, zimzum, and The Rumpus.

A memoir by a Mexican American woman that doubles as a love letter to the tough grandmother who raised her.

Yasmín has dark skin which shows her Mexican heritage, so her grandmother calls her Prieta. While it can be an insult, when it comes from her Ita’s mouth Prieta means love. This love helps Yasmín accept herself and her history, which is inextricably linked to the strong grandmother that helped raised her while Yasmín’s mother worked as a Customs and Border Protection officer. Yasmín ad-mires the scars that showed who Ita was— scars from breast cancer, scars from breaking up fights, even scars she’s painted on husbands who thought they were stronger than her. An exploration of Ita takes Prieta on a journey of her own past, full of ups and downs. Bars that felt like home, rebel teenage years, trying on different dreams and career paths that eventually lead her to writing. Set in El Paso, Yasmín shares her experience in the border and how that shaped her as a person.

Yasmín Ramírez is a 2020 recipient of the Woody and Gayle Hunt- Aspen Institute Fellowship Award as well as a 2018 Dickinson House Fellow. Her fic-tion and creative non fiction works have appeared in Cream City Review and Huizache among others. She is an Associate Professor of English and Creative Writing at El Paso Community College. She stays active in the literary commu-nity and serves on the board of BorderSenses, a literary nonprofit. Her mem-oir, Andale, Prieta is slated for release in Spring 2021 by Cinco Puntos Press.

The Spanish edition of award- winning When a Woman Rises.

“The book’s originality, and its boldness, makes it impossible to turn away. Ambitious and demanding; one of a kind.” — Kirkus Reviews

Two Zapatista women, bound by cultural expectations, struggle to express the truth of their lives in the highlands of Chiapas. Magdalena summons the soul of her friend, Lucia, who migrated north to find work and disappeared. She tells daughter Veronica how they yearned to be teachers. How poverty and gender roles stole away their dreams. Yet, each woman remained true to herself, Lucia as a Zapatista leader and curandera; Magdalena as a weaver and community or-ganizer. But poverty is cruel. The English edition of the novel was the recipi-ent of various accolades, including International Latino Book Award finalist, a New Mexico- Arizona Book Award, and a starred review from School Library Journal.

In 1987, Christine Eber lived for a year with a family in San Pedro Chenalhó, doing fieldwork for her PhD in Anthropology. She shared daily life with women and their families, witnessing the difficulties they faced. It changed her life. Now, as a respected anthropologist, she continues to work with the indigenous women of Chiapas, visiting communities on a regular basis and supporting the woman- organized weaving collectives. Her nonfiction work includes The Journey of a Tzotzil- Maya Woman: Pass Well Over the Earth, which she coauthored with Antonia. She lives in Las Cruces, New Mexico, with her husband, Mike, and dog Sami.

A breathtaking free fall into the long- buried (and fictional) history of a utopian era in American lighter- than- air travel,

as told by its death- defying, aero- acrobatic heroes.

“A superb and loving phantasmagoria that gobbles up real histories for break-fast and spits out the seeds. It has everything you could wish for, academic satire, crazy sculpture in the desert, sex, violence, falafel, graffiti, and zeppelin chase scenes.”— Jonathan Lethem, author of Motherless Brooklyn

In the early years of the twentieth century, the use of airships known as dirigibles— some as large as 1,000 feet long— was being promulgated in South-ern California by a semi- clandestine lighter- than- air movement. Groups like the East LA Balloon Club and the Bessie Coleman Aero Club were hard at work to revolutionize travel, with an aim to literally lift oppressed people out of racism and poverty.

ELADATL tells the story of this little- known period of American air travel in a series of overlapping narratives told by key figures, accompanied by a number of historic photographs and recently discovered artifacts, with appendices pro-vided to fill in the missing links. The story of the rise and fall of this ill- fated air-ship movement investigates its long- buried history, replete with heroes, villains, and moments of astonishing derring- do and terrifying disaster.

Written and presented as an “actual history of a fictional company,” this sur-realist, experimental novel is a tour de force of politicized fantastic fiction, a work of hybrid art- making distilled into a truly original literary form. Developed over a ten- year period of collaborations, community interventions, and staged performances, ELADATL is a hilarious send- up of academic histories, main-stream narratives, and any traditional notions of the time- space continuum.

The final book of poems from a Beat Generation legend, Mule Kick Blues finds McClure restlessly innovating until the end.

“Without McClure’s roar there would have been no Sixties.” — Dennis Hopper

Mule Kick Blues is the final book of poems by Beat Generation legend Michael McClure. A powerful collection of new work written during the last years of McClure’s life, Mule Kick Blues was readied for publication before the poet’s death in May 2020. Its opening section gives us a rare view into his thoughts about his own mortality, particularly in the moving sequence “Death Poems.” The book takes its title from an innovative series of homages to blues musicians like Leadbelly and Howlin’ Wolf, and evoking Kerouac’s concept of “blues” poems. Featuring shout- outs to lifelong friends like Philip Whalen, Diane di Prima, and Gary Snyder, the long poem “Fragments of Narcissus,” and the eco-logical and zen- infused themes for which he is known, Mule Kick Blues is a de-finitive statement by one of the most significant American poets of the last sixty years. Introduction by poet Garrett Caples, McClure’s editor at City Lights.

After moving to San Francisco in the mid- 1950s, Michael McClure (1932–2020) was one of the five poets who participated in the Six Gallery reading that featured the public debut of Allen Ginsberg’s landmark poem, “Howl.” Immortalized as Pat McLear in Jack Kerouac’s novels The Dharma Bums and Big Sur, McClure would go on to become a major figure in the late ’60s counterculture alongside musicians like Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison. He had a long and distinguished ca-reer as an award- winning American poet, playwright, songwriter, and novelist.

Kicking ass and taking notes— what it’s like to be a woman in the ring.

Alison Dean teaches English literature. She also kicks people. Hard.Despite having several amateur fights under her belt, she struggles to be taken

as seriously as a male kickboxer would. “You punch hard for a girl” is still an insult— women aren’t supposed to participate in violence.

Her unique perspective as a thirty- something PhD turned fighter allows Dean to expose and explain the inner world of combat sports. She articulates ways fighting changes a person’s— and particularly a woman’s— relationship to their body and to the world around them, and considers how women shift boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, and MMA’s male- dominated cultures in turn.

Combining research, anecdotes, and interviews with coaches and fighters, Seconds Out looks at the history of women in the ring, the challenges of train-ing, and the nuances of fighting while female. She shares her own experiences, good and bad, as she takes on her first few amateur fights. With the literary acu-men and panache of fighting’s greatest writers, like A. J. Liebling, Joyce Carol Oates, and Katherine Dunn, but from the perspective of someone who has been in the ring, Seconds Out brilliantly explores our culture’s relationship with vio-lence, particularly when it is practiced by women.

Alison Dean lives in Vancouver and lectures in English literature and histories of photography. She has a PhD from Simon Fraser University and is an alumna of the School for Criticism and Theory at Cornell and the Whitney ISP. Alison trains and competes in kickboxing and boxing. She has a bad habit of dropping her left hand.

Four writers, four different perspectives on the problematic notion of purity.

What happens when four writers invent novellas on the same theme?

“All purity is created by resemblance and disavowal.” From this sentence emerges a quartet of novellas troubling the concept of purity. Jean Marc Ah- Sen writes about love blooming between two writers who belong to feuding literary move-ments. Emily Anglin explores an architect’s search for her missing twin in a na-ture reserve. Devon Code documents the Wittgensteinian upheavals of the last days of an elderly woman. And Lee Henderson imagines Dada artist Kurt Schwitters finding unlikely inspiration in a Nazi internment camp in northern Norway.

Wildly different in style and subject matter, these four virtuoso pieces give us a 360- degree view of a philosophical notion that has never felt so urgent.

Away From Her meets Strangers on a Train in this followup to cult bestseller And the Birds Rained Down.

“A journey as geographical as it is interior . . . a bumpy route, but one punctu-ated by contemplative pleasures, by small, lost joys. . . Simultaneously introspec-tive and captivating, [And Miles to Go Before I Sleep] reconnects us to what is essential.” —Les Libraires

“Nostalgic and beautifully grotesque, this novel is delightfully baroque and, although short, so striking it simply will never leave you.” — The Coast, on And the Birds Rained Down

After And The Birds Rained Down, a stunning meditation on aging and freedom (with more than 3,000 Goodreads ratings), Jocelyne Saucier is back with this unsettling story about a woman’s disappearance.

Gladys might look old and frail, but she is determined to finish her life on her own terms. And so, one September morning, she leaves Swastika, her home of the past fifty years, and hops on the Northlander train, eager to put thousands of miles of northern Quebec between her and the improbably named village, and leaving behind her perennially tormented daughter, Lisana.

Our mysterious narrator, who is documenting these disappearing northern trains, is on a quest to uncover the truth of Gladys’s voyage, tracking down fel-low passengers and train employees to learn what happened to Gladys and her daughter, and why.

Jocelyne Saucier lives in Abitibi, Quebec. Two of her previous novels were final-ists for Canada’s Governor General’s Award. Il pleuvait des oiseaux (And the Birds Rained Down) garnered her the Prix des Cinq continents de la Francophonie, making her the first Canadian to win the award. The book was adapted into a feature- length film that debuted at TIFF.

Rhonda Mullins received the 2015 Governor General’s Literary Award for trans-lating Jocelyne Saucier’s Twenty- One Cardinals. Rhonda currently lives in Montreal.

Camus’s Meursault and Thelma and Louise meet up under the blazing sun.

Because the Sun is obsessed with the blinding sun in both L’étranger and Thelma and Louise, and the shootings that happen under it. Burgoyne considers the gen-dered violence of Meursault’s murder of a man on the beach and Louise pulling the trigger on Thelma’s assailant as she thinks about the sun, that “unremarkable star” that is a material symbol of pain, an affective backlog we’re slung under, pushing through desert after desert.

Sarah Burgoyne’s first collection, Saint Twin, was a finalist for the A. M. Klein Prize in Poetry, awarded a prize from l’Académie de la vie littéraire, and short-listed for the ReLit Award. She lives in Montreal.

Smart, raunchy poems that are sorry- not- sorry.

“Sticky, sad, and sultry, Exhibitionist is a merry-go-round circling back to the ten-der, awkward parts of ourselves.” —Mallory Tater, author of The Birth Yard and This Will Be Good

One minute she’s drying her underwear on the corner of your mirror, the next she’s asking the sky to swallow her up: the narrator of Exhibitionist oscillates be-tween a complete rejection of shame and the consuming heaviness of it. Painfully funny, brutally honest, and alarmingly perceptive, Molly Cross- Blanchard’s poems use humor and pop culture as vehicles for empathy and sorry- not- sorry confession-alism. What this speaker wants more than anything is to be seen, to tell you the worst things about herself in hopes that you’ll still like her by the end.

Molly Cross- Blanchard is a Métis writer who lives on the unceded territory that is Vancouver, BC. She is the Publisher of Room Magazine. This is her first book.

“Here is how monstrous humans are.”

“Evenson is one of our best living writers— regardless of genre.” — NPR

“Evenson’s fiction is equal parts obsessive, experimental, and violent. It can be soul- shaking.” — The New Yorker

“You’ve heard of ‘postmodern’ stories— well, Evenson’s stories are post- everything. They are post- human, post- reason, postapocalyptic. . . . In an Evenson story, there are two horrible things that can happen to you. You can either fail to sur-vive, or survive.” — The New York Times

“Enigmatic, superbly rendered slices of fear, uncertainty, and paranoia.” — Washington Post

“Evenson’s little nightmares are deftly crafted, stylistically daring, and surpris-ingly emotional.” — Kirkus

“A master of literary horror.” — GQ

A sentient, murderous prosthetic leg; shadowy creatures lurking behind a shim-mering wall; brutal barrow men—of all the terrors that populate The Glassy, Burning Floor of Hell, perhaps the most alarming are the beings who decimated the habitable Earth: humans. In this new short story collection, Brian Evenson envisions a chilling future beyond the Anthropocene that forces excruciating decisions about survival and self- sacrifice in the face of toxic air and a natural world torn between revenge and regeneration. Combining psychological and eco-logical horror, each tale thrums with Evenson’s award- winning literary crafts-manship, dark humor, and thrilling suspense.

Brian Evenson is the author of over a dozen works of fiction. His most recent book, Song for the Unraveling of the World, won a Shirley Jackson Award and was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Ray Bradbury Prize for Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Speculative Fiction, and the Balcones Fiction Prize. He lives in Los Angeles and teaches at CalArts.

Gothic romance, ghost story, parable, psychological thriller, inner- space fiction— Henry Dumas’s stories form a vivid,

expansive portrait of Black life in America.

“Dumas had completed work, the quality and quantity of which are almost never achieved in several lifetimes. . . . He was brilliant.” — Toni Morrison

“Each sentence a revelation of experience. . . . Actual black art, real, man, and stunning.” — Amiri Baraka

“Henry Dumas’s stories are imaginative forays into allegorical fables and other-worldly realms.” — NPR

Henry Dumas’s fabulist fiction is a masterful synthesis of myth and religion, culture and nature, mask and identity. From the Deep South to the simmering streets of Harlem, his characters embark on real, magical, and mythic quests. Humming with life, Dumas’s stories create a collage of midcentury Black expe-riences, interweaving religious metaphor, African cosmologies, diasporic folklore, and America’s history of slavery and systemic racism.

Henry Dumas was born in Sweet Home, Arkansas, in 1934 and moved to Harlem at the age of ten. He joined the air force in 1953 and spent a year on the Arabian Peninsula. After returning, Dumas became active in the civil rights movement, married, had two sons, attended Rutgers University, worked for IBM, and taught at Hiram College in Ohio and at Southern Illinois University. In 1968, at the age of thirty- three, he was shot and killed by a New York City Transit Authority police officer.

John Keene is the author of Counternarratives. He chairs the department of African American and African Studies and teaches English and creative writing at Rutgers University–Newark.

Eugene Redmond taught alongside Henry Dumas at Southern Illinois University, where he is currently an emeritus professor of English. He has helped publish much of Dumas’s poetry and fiction.

A constellation of short stories illustrates the complex, interrelated lives of women in and around Bogotá, Colombia.

In six subtly connected vignettes, Variations on the Body explores the obsessions, desires, and idiosyncrasies of women and girls from every level of Colombian society. A former FARC guerilla fighter adjusts to urban life and faces the new violence of an editor co- opting her experiences. A woman documents a flea in-festation with a catalog of the marks on her body. A child copes with anxiety about the adult world by concocting— and drinking— “dirt juice” every day in the garden. Combining humor, heartbreak, and unsettling violence, Ospina weaves a multifaceted picture of contemporary Bogotá in vibrant, gleaming prose.

María Ospina was born in Bogotá, Colombia, and teaches Latin American cul-ture at Wesleyan University. She has written about memory, violence, and cul-ture in contemporary Colombia. Her stories have appeared in anthologies in Colombia and Italy. Azares del cuerpo, her first book of fiction, has been published in Colombia, Chile, Spain, and Italy.

Heather Cleary’s translations include Betina González’s American Delirium, Roque Larraquy’s Comemadre (nominee, National Book Award for Translated Literature 2018), and Sergio Chejfec’s The Planets (finalist, Best Translated Book Award 2013) and The Dark (nominee, National Translation Award 2014).

Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior: HOMES. Moheb Soliman traces the coasts of the Great Lakes region with poems, exploring the nature of belonging in relation to land and the formation of identity along borders.

Moheb Soliman’s HOMES maps the shoreline of the Great Lakes from the rocky cliffs of Duluth, Minnesota, to the spray of Niagara Falls and back again. This poetic travelogue offers an intimate perspective on an immigrant experience as Soliman drives his Corolla past exquisite vistas and abandoned mines, through tourist towns and midwestern suburbs, searching for a place to claim as home. Against the backdrop of environmental destruction and a history of colonial op-pression, the vitality of Soliman’s language brings a bold ecopoetic lens to bear on the relationship between transience and belonging in the world’s largest, most porous borderland.

“Put down your roots like you know em, own em / Wherever home is, Moheb, lay down your full head / of leaves or losing needles, as is, dig up your flowerless bed / and move

There go the elms to ashes galore / in fungus, emerald borers / from city bends to river corners / down with trees, up with borders, tell me”

Moheb Soliman is an interdisciplinary poet from Egypt and the Midwest. He has presented writing and performance, installation, and video work at diverse literary, art, and public spaces in the US and Canada with support from the Banff Centre, Pillsbury House, the Joyce Foundation, and Tulsa Artist Fellowship. Moheb has degrees from The New School and the University of Toronto and lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where he was program director for the Arab American literary journal and arts organization Mizna.

In A Complex Sentence, Marjorie Welish builds immersive intertextual environments as she questions the canon of

modernist poetry and the ways we talk about poetics.

In her sixth collection, Welish continues to explore critical practices such as di-agramming, inscription, and quotation, extending her unflinching gaze to lit-erary acts, from finding the right desk, to logic gates, to the possibilities for dis mantling and augmenting the logics of language. Expertly manipulating the space of the page, her poems dissolve the boundaries between visual art and the written word. With her signature precision, musicality, and structural rigor, Welish simultaneously dismantles and rebuilds what we understand as language.

“Reading otherwise.Reading sometimes.Not reading.

Reading otherwise provided that lampReading sometimes provided with two approachesDirectives extant Reading otherwise provided thatangles jiving give orant- splayed protocols some panache.”

A Complex Sentence is Marjorie Welish’s sixth book of poems with Coffee House Press, for which she received fellowship support from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation and St. Edmund’s College, University of Cambridge. For her arts and critical practice, she has received a Fulbright Senior Scholarship, which has taken her to the University of Frankfurt and to the Edinburgh College of Art. Papers delivered on her arts practices at a conference at the University of Pennsylvania are compiled in Of the Diagram: The Work of Marjorie Welish. Signifying Art: Essays on Art after 1960 is a book of her art criticism. A Work, and . . . , in which she is interviewed by Lilly Wei, is the most extensive catalogue of her art.

“A brutal but also beautiful meditation on death that combines family archives and a chorus of literary voices, and with them composes an indelible ode to life.” — Valeria Luiselli, GQ

In March 2015, Naja Marie Aidt’s twenty- five- year- old son, Carl, died in a tragic accident. This book chronicles the few first years after that devastating phone call.

Intensely moving, When Death Takes Something from You Give It Back explores what it is to be a family, what it is to love and lose, and what it is to treasure life in spite of death’s indomitable resolve.

Naja Marie Aidt was born in Greenland and raised in Copenhagen. She is the author of eleven collections of poetry, a novel, and three short story collections, including Baboon, which won the 2008 Nordic Council Literature Prize. Her work has been translated into sixteen languages.

A powerful guide to Indigenous liberation and environmental justice.

“The Red Deal asserts that the fight for climate justice must center Native people when it comes to the issues that disproportionately impact Native communities, but it also communicates what the Green New Deal does not . . .” — Teen Vogue

As the Red Nation proclaims, it is time to reclaim the life and destiny that has been stolen, come together to confront climate disaster, and build a world where all life can thrive. The Red Deal is a political program for the liberation that emerges from the oldest class struggle in the Americas— the fight by Native people to win sovereignty, autonomy, and dignity. One- part visionary platform, one- part practical toolkit, The Red Deal is a call for action to everyone, includ-ing non- Indigenous comrades and relatives, who live on Indigenous land.

Offering a profound vision for a decolonial society, The Red Deal is not simply a response to the Green New Deal, or a “bargain” with the elite and powerful. It is a deal with the humble people of the earth; an affirmation that colonialism and capitalism must be overturned for this planet to be habitable for human and other- than- human relatives to live dignified lives; and a pact with movements for liberation, life, and land for a new world of peace and justice that must come from below and to the left.

The Red Nation is dedicated to the liberation of Native peoples from capitalism and colonialism and centers Native political agendas and struggles through di-rect action, advocacy, and education.

Frontline reports from the Black and Indigenous women and trans communities leading a global movement against

interpersonal, state-sanctioned, and economic violence.

“Who mourns our dead? We want to bring them here, to our memory, at this moment, in order to remember them and make them visible.”

The struggles against racism, capitalism, and patriarchy detailed in Femicide and Global Accumulation reveal linked forms of violence that enable land, water, and other resource extraction projects essential to a global economy dependent on devalued labor and nature. Among those hardest hit by this violence, Black, Indigenous, mestiza women and trans communities in the Global South are cen-tral to building dignified inter national resistance based on defense of the land and ecology, as well as of their selves.

In response to the mounting crisis of femicide worldwide, Femicide and Global Accumulation weaves together a collective fabric of stories, memories, and expe-riences of struggles against the murder of women and violence in all its forms. These communal and engaged struggles detail the transformations afoot in much of the world, where communities are challenging the worst forms of racism, patri-archy, colonial violence, and capitalism.

Silvia Federici is a critically acclaimed feminist, Marxist theorist, and author of Caliban and the Witch; Revolution at Point Zero; and Witches, Witch- Hunting, and Women, among others.

“The richness of George Ciccariello- Maher’s work lies in generating, for its readers questions that are pivotal to the work of imagining alternative futures.” — Kris Sealey, Hypatia Reviews Online

Spirals of Revolt is a study guide for revolution. Emerging from a virtual pan-demic seminar attended by hundreds of students, activists, and workers from across the world, Geo Maher probes the moments and movements of libera-tion in our in herited history— from Haiti, France, Russia to Turtle Island and Palestine— so that we may renew their spirit into a whirl of struggles against capitalism, imperial ism, and their frontline defenders— the police.

Maher discusses revolutions through the historical movements and theories that animate them and the people that lead them, offering penetrating insight into the connected nature of resistance to colonialism, white supremacy, class exploitation, and imperialism. The result is a book of public secrets spilled from the annals of revolt that sharpens the weapon of history and the weapon of the-ory for aspiring revolutionaries everywhere.

Spirals of Revolt asks you to dive into the worldwide discussion of how revo-lutionary history can guide us today. On your own or with comrades, this is a handbook for learning while doing and doing while learning, a study guide for letting a thousand study groups— and acts of revolt— bloom.

Geo Maher (George Ciccariello- Maher) is a writer, educator, and organizer based in Philadelphia. His books include A World Without Police, Decolonizing Dialectics, and Building the Commune. His media appearances include Al Jazeera, Democracy Now, and the New York Times.

Slice of life graphic stories that are equal parts comedy, tragedy, and queer narrative.

“I love Sami Alwani’s style, his tender flat hysteria, and his naked honesty. And the way he depicts queerness is so removed from cuddly rainbow- tinged pop culture— it’s beautiful and raw, and very very real.” — Roman Murdov

Sami Alwani weaves together themes of art induced dissociation, queer inter-generational polyamory, racial capitalism and esoteric mystical experiences into twenty stories that question society and individual identity, in the Simon Hanselmann vein.

A talking baby philosophizes away his own emotions. A half- man, half- dog cartoonist’s spirit burns too bright when he alienates the entire alternative comics industry, drunk on his own power. A friendly ghost survives COVID quarantine with the help of CBD pot cookies and essential oil diffusers. There’s something for everyone in this volume collecting all of award- winning Alwani’s previous work to date (Vice, NOW) with plenty of never- before- seen material.

“Even more twisted and weird than me.” — R. Crumb

Schoolyard scuffles. Seedy matinees. Run- ins with inept riot cops. Represented Immobilized is an unflinching look through the smudged lenses of Rick Trembles’ glasses at his early years. Montreal punk legend and underground cartoonist Trembles was roommates with the editor of the influential zine Fish Piss, where these strips first appeared. Moving his childhood possessions into the apart-ment triggered childhood memories. Worried about them fading from his memory he documented them before they could vanish forever. This collection also contains bonus autobiographical comics from forty years of activity.

A punk rock celebration of pizza in all its gooey glory.

“Intentional without being didactic or overbearing, this is an excellent addition to the growing Indigenous futurism movement.” — Booklist (on Dakwäkãda Warriors)

In Pizza Punks, Pauls pushes the limits of pizza devotion by exploring just how far an extremely dedicated punk might go to attain the cheesiest of pies. Backpack pizza? Sure. Couch pizza? Absolutely. Even mosh pizza isn’t off- limits. Pineapple pizza, though? That’s a little more controversial. This quirky graphic novel is served up by the author of Dakwäkãda Warriors, winner of the 2020 Indigenous Voices Award and nominated for two Doug Wright Awards and an Aurora Award.

Unparalleled in range, grace, or courage, June Jordan unflinchingly captures the many intersections of identity and political engagement.

“Wherever people were silenced, cruelties concealed, or lies promoted, Jordan shouted out, exposing what needed to be seen.” — Booklist

“Always urgent, inspiring and demanding, Jordan’s work has left its indelible mark everywhere from Essence to The Norton Anthology of Poetry, and from theater stages to the floors of the United Nations and the United States Congress.” — BOMB Magazine

The Essential June Jordan advances the legacy of a poet and public intellectual fiercely dedicated to building a better world. Introduced by Pulitzer Prize winner Jericho Brown, Jordan’s generous body of work is distilled and curated to reveal an impassioned and irrepressible genius. Jordan’s poems are tragically current, with subject matter including racist police brutality, violence against women, and the opportunity for global solidarity among people who are marginalized. In these poems of profound immediacy and radical kindness, humor and candor, readers will (re)discover a voice to nourish their lives and strengthen their resolve.

And who will join this standing upand the ones who stood without sweet companywill sing and singback into the mountains andif necessaryeven under the sea

we are the ones we have been waiting for

June Jordan (1936– 2002) was a multi- genre writer, professor, and activist who be-came one of the most admired public intellectuals of the late twentieth century. As a professor at UC Berkeley, Jordan established Poetry for the People, a program to train student teachers to teach the power of poetry from a multi cultural worldview.

National Book Award winner Arthur Sze presents The Glass Constellation, a masterwork of his signature poetics of notice.

“Inside these poems of billowing consciousness, we too are alive to a spectrum of wonders.” — The New York Times

“The wonders and realities of the world as seen through travel, nature walks, and daily routine.” — Library Journal

“Dazzling poems of connectivity and multiplicity.” — Vulture

National Book Award winner Arthur Sze is a master poet, and The Glass Constellation is a triumph spanning five decades, including work from ten poetry collections as well as new poems. Sze began his career writing compressed, lyri-cal poems influenced by classical Chinese poetry and later made a leap into powerful sequences, honing a distinct stylistic signature that harnesses lumi-nous particulars, and is sharply focused, emotionally resonant, and structurally complex. Fusing elements of Chinese, Japanese, Native American, and various Western experimental traditions, Arthur Sze presents experience in all its multi-plicities. This collection is an invitation to immerse in a visionary body of work, mapping the evolution of one of our finest American poets.

—Sunrise: I fill my rubber bucket with water and come to this patch of blue-gray sidewalk—I’ve made a sponge-tipped brush at the end of a waist-high plastic stick; and, as I dip it,I know water is my ink, memory my blood—

Arthur Sze’s Sight Lines (2019) won the National Book Award and Compass Rose (2014) was a Pulitzer Prize finalist. Sze is a professor emeritus at the Institute of American Indian Arts and was the first poet laureate of Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he lives.

Kayleb Rae Candrilli’s third book imagines trans bodies as amorphous and ever- evolving landscapes, free to revel in their shapeshifting beauty.

“Through vivid language and subtle insights, Candrilli offers a sensitive, beautiful exploration of the body’s transformations.” — Publishers Weekly

“Kayleb Rae Candrilli’s verse memoir unfolds with savage grace as it lays bare the violence and isolation of a trans person’s coming of age. It is a dazzling addition to literature about rural childhoods.” — Whiting Selection Committee

Radically tender and desperate for change, Water I Won’t Touch is a life raft and self- portrait, concerned with the vitality of trans people living in a dangerous and inhospitable landscape. Through the brambles of the Pennsylvania forest to the Jersey Shore, in quiet moments and violent memories, Kayleb Rae Candrilli touches the broken earth and examines the whole in its parts. Written during the body’s healing from a double mastectomy— in the wake of addiction and fam-ily dysfunction— these ambitious poems put new form to what’s been lost and gained. Candrilli ultimately imagines a joyful, queer future: a garden to harvest, lasting love, the insistent flamboyance of citrus.

When they look insideyour chest, the sonogram calls

your heart an orchid, eachpetal pulpy and abnormally

palpitating. You and Iboth imagined it would

behave this way, floweringtoo big where it shouldn’t.

Kayleb Rae Candrilli is a 2019 Whiting Award Winner in poetry and a 2017 fi-nalist for the Lambda Literary Award in transgender poetry. They have received fellowships from Lambda Literary and are published or forthcoming in Poetry, The American Poetry Review, Boston Review, and many others. They live in Philadelphia.

With her fearless and wry voice, Nikki Wallschlaeger brings humor to the exhaustion of surviving a world of overlapping oppressions.

“Permeated by animus towards racism and capitalism, Wallschlaeger’s latest col-lection is political, personal, and timely.” — Publishers Weekly

“Wallschlaeger . . . discovers the violence embedded in our most familiar struc-tures: mortgages, meals, rooms, houses, family relationships, and language itself.” — Hyperallergic

In her astounding third collection, Nikki Wallschlaeger turns to water— the natural element of grief— to trace history’s interconnected movements through family, memory, and day- to- day survival. Waterbaby is a book about Blackness, language, and motherhood in America; about the ancestral joys and sharp pains that travel together through the nervous system’s crowded riverways; about the holy sanctuary of the bathtub for a spirit that’s pushed beyond exhaustion. Waterbaby sings the blues in every key, as Wallschlaeger uses her vibrant lexicon and varied rhythms to condense and expand emotion, hurry and slow meaning, communicating the profound simultaneity of righteous dissatisfaction with an unjust world, and radical love for what’s possible.

If you keep no-lye relaxers on your hair past the suggested time frame,

the original crimple pattern becomes more defiant. Memories won’t comfort me,

perhaps it’s best not to trust the politics of people who haven’t washed their own dishes in twenty years.

Nikki Wallschlaeger’s work has been featured in The Nation, Brick, American Poetry Review, Witness, Kenyon Review, Poetry, and others. She is the author two full- length collections as well as the graphic novel I Hate Telling You How I Really Feel. She lives in the Driftless region of Wisconsin.

Dialogues with Rising Tides reminds us to tenderly explore the outward expressions of our inner lives.

“You will learn so much about looking, within the self and beyond. You will glean the wisdom of someone who has been writing her way toward a deeper knowing for a long time.” — The Rumpus

“[Agodon’s] incredible wordplay can take an ordinary idea and thrust it high into a new atmosphere.” — Being Poetry

In Kelli Russell Agodon’s fourth collection, each poem facilitates a humane and honest conversation with the forces that threaten to take us under. The anxi-eties and heartbreaks of life— including environmental collapse, cruel politics, and the persistent specter of suicide— are met with emotional vulnerability and darkly sparkling humor. Dialogues with Rising Tides does not answer, This or that? It passionately exclaims, And also! Even in the midst of great difficulty, ra-diant wonders are illuminated at every turn.

Once I believed the saint I carried could keep me safe. He lived in a rain jacket I wore to keep out the weather and by weather, I mean danger. Tell me a story where no one dies. That story begins in heaven, ends in heaven and includes chapters on heaven, heaven, and heaven.

Kelli Russell Agodon is a poet, writer, editor, and cofounder of Two Sylvias Press. She is also coauthor of the bestselling The Daily Poet: Day- By- Day Prompts For Your Writing Practice.

Wrought with emotion and vivid imagery, The Complete Stories explores a modern perspective and unravels histories both personal and public.

“[Warren’s] poems both examine and embody the nexus of joy and sorrow, of certainty and confusion, without which there’d be none of the restlessness that makes us uniquely human.” — Carl Phillips, Judge’s Citation

“The poems are lithe and fluid, rhythmic and pointed . . . Warren offers a raw and piercing vision.” — Publishers Weekly

The Complete Stories announces its desire and its lie in the title: this is a poetry of shatter and loss. In his second collection, Noah Warren— previously selected by Carl Phillips for the Yale Series of Younger Poets— unravels histories both personal and public, picking apart their ugliness, beauty, and irreducible singu-larity. Clothed in broken forms, these poems of grieving and tentative joy ask finally how we can go forward with our own mottled pasts, into the futures we can’t predict but for which we must bear responsibility.

And I felt so bored and sadthat I dropped two threads of saffronin the bowl of Cheerios I had for lunchand that was a failure, obviously, as I had been almost sure it would be, the threads unable to blush the milk,the oat flour turned soupy, the taste just sharp enough to disgust me.

Noah Warren is the author of The Destroyer in the Glass (2016), chosen by Carl Phillips for the Yale Series of Younger Poets. A former Wallace Stegner Fellow, he is pursuing a PhD in English at UC Berkeley. His poems appear in The Paris Review, Poetry, PEN America, and elsewhere. He lives in Oakland.

Ted Kooser, former Poet Laurate and winner of the Pulitzer Prize, is one of America’s most beloved and bestselling poets.

“Kooser’s greatest assets have long been his generous eye and his way with under-statement, two qualities abundantly present in this book of new and selected poems.” — The New York Times Book Review

“Kooser’s great gift [is] the way he inscribes the tiniest bit of warmth into each one of his poems.”— LitHub

Four decades of poetry— and a generous selection of new work— make up this extraordinary collection by Pulitzer Prize winner Ted Kooser. Firmly rooted in the landscapes of the Midwest, Kooser’s poetry succeeds in finding the emotional resonances within the ordinary. Kooser’s language of quiet intensity trains itself on the intricacies of human relationships, as well as the animals and objects that make up our days.

In the Basement of the Goodwill Store

In musty light, in the thin brown airof damp carpet, doll heads and rust,beneath long rows of sharp footfallslike nails in a lid, an old man standstrying on glasses, lifting each pairfrom the box like a glittering fishand holding it up to the lightof a dirty bulb. Near him, a heapof enameled pans as white as skullslooms in the catacomb shadows,and old toilets with dry red throatscough up bouquets of curtain rods.

Ted Kooser served two terms as United States Poet Laureate and won the Pulitzer Prize for Delights and Shadows. He is the Founding Editor for the weekly newspaper column “American Life in Poetry,” which reaches 4.5 million readers. He lives in Nebraska.

As The New York Times reminds us, “for all his humor and linguistic jazz, Young doesn’t shun the big questions.”

“Young has always stood out for his sharp humor, boundless poetic energy, and sheer readability.” — Boston Globe

“Solar Perplexus is a series of beautiful movements, a poet spinning like a dervish in an enclosed space.” — Adroit Journal

In Solar Perplexus, Dean Young uses the surreal as the thread which weaves in and out of complications of existence. The result is a textured, honest work that grapples with what it means to love, lose, and hang in the afterward. Suddenly the boundaries of our everyday are shaken— and yet instead of being thrown off balance, our understanding is cracked open. As Young highlighted in an inter-view, “For me the human drama, the squishy, time- limited pulse, is always at the center of the poem.”

From “Anniversary Poem”:

When you gave me a walnut,it was different than when you gave mea monarch wing which I tapedto my notebook. Other thingsI’ve taped: flattened wildflowers,a leaf that was in the tub with you,a few dead ants who were red and blacklike Mayan gods . . .

Dean Young is the author of twenty books of poetry and poetic theory. His iconic, comedic style is derived from the New York School and from contempo-rary art movements like Surrealism and Dadaism. Young served as the Texas Poet Laurate and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. He currently holds the position of William Livingston Chair of Poetry at the University of Texas, Austin.

Fauxliage documents the proliferation of disguised cell phone towers in the American West. By attempting to conceal an unsightly yet essential technology of the modern world, our landscapes now contain a quirky mosaic of masquerading palms, evergreens, flagpoles, crosses, and cacti. Technology is modifying our en-vironment with idiosyncratic results. The often- whimsical tower disguises belie the equipment’s covert ability to collect valuable personal data.

A surreal collection of photographs made inside North Korea that

showcases the extraordinary ordinary everyday life of its comrades.

Hong Kong based artist Ted Lau was always curious about North Korea having grown up seeing constant headlines about missile tests and nuclear weapons. It was after seeing Andreas Gursky’s work in North Korea that he decided one day he had to visit the country. In 2019, an opportunity arose and he embarked on an exploratory journey to see what life was really like in this mysterious place. The results of his travels are captured in a new book peering behind the veil of the secretive country of North Korea.

Ted Lau, born 1989 is an award- winning fine art photographer based in Hong Kong.

Olde Kensington, north of Center City Philadelphia, was predominantly a post- industrial area when photographer John Waller moved to town. Yet ominous signs of change were everywhere as the neighborhood was rapidly renovated and gentrified like the rest of the city. Like the classic flâneur of old, Waller wandered the streets recording the city in flux.

John Waller, born 1976, is an American photographer living in Massachusetts.

Pete Duval is a fiction writer and photographer. His short story collection, Rear View (Houghton Mifflin), won the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference Bakeless Prize, the Connecticut Book Award, and was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times’ Art Seidenbaum Award for First Fiction.

A humorous look at the obstacles facing professional women in a

male- dominated corporate culture.

Drawing upon Robin Dahlberg’s own experiences as a junior lawyer at a large corporate law firm, Billable Hours in 6 Minute Increments explores the obsta-cles facing women in the corporate workplace. With a sense of the absurd that Dahlberg only discovered in hindsight, she examines how women lawyers re-spond to the sexism, pressure to conform, tedium and stress that defined her daily life at the law firm and that continue to define the corporate work environ-ment today.

Robin Dahlberg is a visual artist and arts educator based in New York City. In 2018, she cofounded 5 Corners Collective, a teaching and exhibition col-laborative to bring photography to underserved and geographically isolated communities.

In his newest novel, widely- praised experimental novelist Peter Dimock explores literature’s capacity to re- plot America’s political trajectory

in the midst of the shuttering of empire.

On Peter Dimock’s previous works:

“Peter Dimock . . . possesses the rich, intricate, and subtle patternings of the verbal lacemaker’s craft.” — Toni Morrison

“George Anderson is indeed this ambitious, a work of great ethical force and his-torical scope . . . What a remarkable novel.” — Hilary Plum, Los Angeles Review of Books

“Bordering on narrative madness (and/or genius).” — Publishers Weekly, starred review

Daybook in Sheep Meadow returns to the breakdown of America’s imperialist his-tory of Peter Dimock’s groundbreaking previous novels, George Anderson: Notes for a Love Song in Imperial Time, and A Short Rhetoric for Leaving the Family.

Historian Tallis Martinson has grappled for years with the atrocities of the American past through meditative notebook entries. When words fail him completely, he commits himself to a psychiatric facility, suffering from severe adult mutism and unable to write. His brother and editor Christopher Rentho Martinson, tasking himself with trying to understand Tallis’ condition through reading the notebooks, slowly descends into a wormhole of their family’s implied complicity with normalized national atrocities, past and present.

An experiment in the capacity of literature to re- lay the trajectory of America’s future, Daybook stages a space wherein the reader can register— and, potentially, remedy— the criminal catastrophe of the legacies of American empire.

Peter Dimock has long worked in publishing, both at Random House and as senior executive editor for history and political science at Columbia University Press. Writers with whom he has worked include Angela Davis, Toni Morrison, and Amartya Sen. He is the author of two novels from Dalkey Archive Press.

A cross- continental Danish award- winner that splices the vast expanse of Texas with a daughter’s desire to reconnect

with her aging father.

“An all- embracing, touching, and powerful tale of a child’s love and the bond of the family.” — Danish Arts Foundation

Lone Star is about distances: the distance between a father and a daughter; the distance between Mathilde’s Danish upbringing and her American family; the separation of language; and the passage of time between Mathilde’s adulthood and the summers she spent as a child in the United States. At once a travelogue and family novel, Lone Star occupies the often- mythologized landscape of Texas to share a story of being alive and claiming the right to feel at home, even across the ocean.

In a state rife with caricatures, Benjamin Villegas’ “anti- biography” explores the history of a

Texas border- town punk band too good to be true.

In 2015, Benjamin Villegas traveled to Texas in an attempt to write the biogra-phy of a music group that could have changed the history of rock: ELPASO, a Chicano band from the US- Mexico border with a punk sensibility, a long since- defunct crew, and little left to remember it by but a suitcase of fanzines and one- off recordings.

This is the story of one of the many bands that will never appear in rock n’ roll history books, but are at the core of the scene; a band that earned its stripes from sweaty fans and self- taught rock aficionados in basements, garages, and small venues across the country. This is the story of two kids who came together to embrace the punk ethos of the 1980s and be a part of the rock n’ roll revolution sweeping the United States, a world of the Ramones, Black Flag, and, of course, ELPASO.

Explore the world of ELPASO through the backlog of promotion that remains: a documentary of the band, a full EP of the music they created, and enough con-cert posters and fanzines to cover the walls of any parent’s basement or garage.

Benjamin Villegas was born in Spain. He was named after Fantastic Four’s The Thing, and grew up in a household full of comics, music, and movies that shaped his taste for American pop culture. He is a musician, illustrator, audiovisual pro-ducer, and graphic designer. He is also the author of Huele como a espíritu posado-lescente (Smells Like Postadolescent Spirit).

A queer debut collection of poetry reckoning with the role of silence,

secrets, and gossip to survive in conservative West Texas.

Welcome to Midland is a queer coming- of- age narrative in verse set against the contested backdrop of conservative small- town Texas. These linked poems, broken into four sections that explore the cultural and natural history of West Texas (from the horned lizard to dirt storms to Laura Bush’s car accident), lasso together events and movements from across eras and spaces to create a tenuous yet strong sense of place.

A beautiful, slim book from Bogotá39 member Claudia Ulloa Donoso comprised

of magical short stories and texts that explore the strangeness of everyday life.

With a nod to the fervent self- declaration of diary entries and the hallucinatory haze of sleeplessness, the stories in Little Bird stretch reality, a sharp- shooting combination of George Saunders and Samanta Schweblin that, ultimately, defy fact and fiction.

Claudia Ulloa Donoso has been recognized by critics as one of the most original and surprising voices in Peruvian literature. She is part of the Bogata39, a list that also includes Valeria Luiselli and fellow Deep Vellum author Eduardo Rabasa. Ulloa Donoso currently lives north of the Arctic circle in Bodø, Norway.

Blending lyricism, humor, spirituality, and the history of the poet’s family and nation, the widely- acclaimed author of Tram 83 reckons with the

Congo and his homeland in his debut book of poetry in English.Praise for Tram 83:

“Vigorous, hip, and brilliant.” — James Smart, The Guardian

Award- winning Congolese author Fiston Mwanza Mujila returns to the Deep Vellum catalog with a poetry book including works both intimate and universal, seeking through metaphor and lyric to reckon with the contested nationhood of Mujila’s native country.

The title collection shows the Congo River as it runs in real life and through Mwanza Mujila’s body and mind; he contemplates the importance of the majestic, sacred Congo River and the decades of upheaval the Democratic Republic of Congo has gone through, in turns berating and serenading a home-land of the mind.

Fiston Mwanza Mujila is the recipient of many literary prizes, including, most recently, the Peter- Rosegger- Literaturpreis (Austria, 2018). He is the author of Tram 83 (Deep Vellum, 2015); winner of the German International Literature award and longlisted for the International Man Booker and the Prix du Monde.

On the 40th Anniversary of Mobile Suit Gundam, Hideki Owada pens a passionate and comical look at the people behind Japan’s most iconic robot anime franchise.

In 1978, animation director Yoshiyuki Tomino set forth to change the Japanese animation industry. In the decades prior to his move, Japanese animation indus-try had churned out numerous tales of semi- autonomous robots that would often aide humanity, but as someone who worked on those works, Tomino realized that he wanted to see a more realistic robot narrative. His vision was one where the robot was utilized as a weapon operated by people.

With renowned artist Yoshikazu Yasuhiko by his side, Tomino would change the way the whole world came to see Japanese animation and the broader toy and comics industries built around it. This evolution would be a war in its own right! Battles were fought in the offices of the animation studio! Conflicts were equally as heated in the recording booth!

Detailing the intricacies of working within the Japanese animation indus-try Owada reveals the many trials behind this international media sensation, through a comic mockumentary graphic novel featuring the people who turned a simple cartoon made to promote a toy line into a $78 million-a-year franchise.

Born in 1969, Hideki Owada is a beloved comedic manga creator. Best known in the West for his long- running mahjong political parody The Legend of Koizumi, Owada made his debut in 1999 on the baseball comedy Fun Koshien. Since then he has contributed in nearly two dozen series, mostly for Kadokawa Publishing. While Westerners know Owada for his sensational genre work, in Asia he is re-spected his contributions to the Gundam franchise. Owada has been working within the world of Gundam continuously since 2009 and has created several works that have seen multimedia adaptations.

A death in the family introduces Ichika to Aria, a family associate who also

happens to be a lovely vampire.

Ichika’s life has taken a sudden turn. Her grandmother has passed away, and she finds herself in the spotlight as many old faces have taken an interest in her youth. As a fourteen- year- old Ichika could be looking forward to college. She could be participating in extra- curricular activities. Or even dating— but she hasn’t done any of that.

All of that will change, when a young(- looking) guest visits her home. Aria seems to know quite a bit about her family history, and while she may be there to say goodbye to grandma, she may have found her way into Ichika’s heart.

Akili, also known as Show Higashiyama (1989), was born and raised in the Tokyo- suburb of Nerima. He is an almost fifteen- year veteran who is best known for the yoga manga STRETCH (Shogakukan).

One of those ninja happens to be Kudo. The seventeen- year- old is now poised to be the next line of defense against a potential surge in foreign assassins invad-ing Tokyo. With little more than a ninja hoodie and a ninja skateboard, Kudo must protect Japan from Russian spies.

Kengo Hanazawa is easily one of Japan’s most influential comic artists in the last fifteen years. His previous works Boys on the Run was one of the most popular movies in recent Japanese history. Hanazawa’s works focus on the everyday struggles of young adults in Japan; often tackling issues such as underemploy-ment, mental health and an eroding social safety net. His series sci- fi drama Ressentiment was awarded the 2005 Sense of Gender Award.

An in- depth look at Japan’s world of adult comics and their symbolism in popular culture.

While manga is now a well- known entity in the global publishing scene, the me-dium’s international success has its roots in the realm of eros. Japanese media critic Kimi Rito dives into manga’s erotic past to reveal the truths and symbols of hentai. What are its origins? How did it evolve from ukiyo- e to today’s com-ics and anime? Who are the people making and reading these works? And ulti-mately what is the medium trying to express beyond sexuality? When Anthony Bourdain uncovered hentai for CNN’s Parts Unknown he was acknowledging that manga, while at times erotic, is always artful and meaningful.

Kimi Rito is an award- winning writer and media critic. Rito is best known for his research on the proliferation of erotic symbolism within science fiction and comics. His self- published work EroManga and SF was given the 24th Dark Nebula Award at the 2014 Japan Science Fiction Festival. A member of the Japan Society for Studies in Cartoons and Comics, Rito has been a frequent guest at North American anime events such as AnimeExpo.

An illustrated survey of artist hoaxes, including impersonations, fabula, cryptoscience, and forgeries, researched and

written by an expert “fictive- art” practitioner.

The shift from the early information age to our “infocalypse” era of rampant misinformation has given rise to an art form that probes this confusion, foregrounding wild creativity as a way to reframe assumptions about both fiction and art in contemporary culture. At its center, this “fictive art” (LaFarge’s term) is secured as fact by employing the language and display methods of history and science. Using typically evidentiary objects such as documentary photographs and videos, presumptively historical artifacts and relics, didactics, lectures, events, and expert opinions in technical language, artists create a constellation of manufactured evidence attesting to the artwork’s central narrative. This dissimulation is temporary, with a clear “tell” often surprisingly revealed in a self outing moment. With all its attendant consequences of mistrust, outrage, and rejection, this genre of art with a sting in its tale is a radical form whose time has come.

Antoinette LaFarge is an internationally recognized new media artist with a special interest in speculative fiction and alternative histories. She has authored several books, including Louise Brigham and the Early History of Sustainable Furniture Design (Palgrave Macmillan 2019) and Monkey Encyclopedia W (ICI Press 2018). Her writing and artwork have appeared in Art Journal, Wired, Leonardo, Ada, Gnosis, the Southern Quarterly, the MOSF Journal of Science Fiction, and elsewhere, as well as in anthologies from MIT Press, Oxford University Press, and other international presses. She is a longtime contributor to Wikipedia, where she focuses on filling gaps in coverage of women and people of color.

Trio exemplifies how women become a clandestine conduit for life, power, and loss, particularly in the shadow of an implacable patriarchy.

Between two covers are three books: Planet Parable by Karen Donovan, Run: A Verse- History of Victoria Woodhull by Diane Raptosh, and Endless Body by Daneen Wardrop, all previous Etruscan authors. The poems in Planet Parable discover unexpected meaning in the quotidian recorded against the revelatory background hum of the world. Beginning with a woman using a backhoe to dig up a meadow, it ends with a divine purge, arriving at another beginning. The poems in between tangle with the earth’s own signifiers— sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic— written in water, fire, and pressure. Diane Raptosh’s collection brings to life one of America’s most controversial suffragists, Victoria Woodhull, giving a voice to her immediate circle. Woodhull was the first woman to address Congress and the first woman to run for United States president, with abolitionist Frederick Douglass as running mate. Daneen Wardrop’s Endless Body realizes a mother- daughter- mother lineage through music, quest, and a growing awareness of the body of the world as it traces a daughter’s loss of her mother, and the turn-ing from loss to the arrival of that daughter’s own daughter. The body may never have assented to its own stern conditions, yet has many callings: tensing, speak-ing vapor, holding anger and, sometimes, letting us go.

Trio is the second in a series of trilogies from Etruscan Press, the first of which was Triptych (2020).

Karen Donovan is the author of Aard- vark to Axolotl, a collection of illustrated short prose (Etruscan, 2018). Diane Raptosh’s fourth book of poetry, American Amnesiac (Etruscan Press, 2013), was longlisted for the 2013 National Book Award. Daneen Wardrop is the author of Silk Road (Etruscan, 2018).

Wait for God to Notice is a love letter to an adopted country with an unstable past and an undeniable endurance to heal.

In 1975, Uganda’s Finance Minister escaped to England saying, “To live in Uganda today is hell.” Idi Amin had declared himself president for life, the econ-omy had crashed, and Ugandans were disappearing. One year later, the Fordham family arrived as Seventh- day Adventist missionaries.

Fordham narrates her childhood with lush, observant prose that is also at times quite funny. She describes her family’s insular faith, her mother’s Finnish heritage, the growing conflict between her parents, the dangerous politics of Uganda, and the magic of living in a house in the jungle. Driver ants stream through their bedrooms, mambas drop out of the stove, and monkeys steal their tomatoes.

Wait for God to Notice is a memoir about growing up in Uganda. It is also a memoir about mothers and daughters and about how children both know and don’t know their parents. As teens, Fordham and her sister, Sonja, considered their mother overly cautious. After their mother dies of cancer, the author begins to wonder who her mother really was. As she recalls her childhood in Uganda— the way her mother killed snakes, sweet- talked soldiers, and sold goods on the black market— Fordham understands that the legacy her mother left her daughters is one of courage and capability.

Sari Fordam has lived in Uganda, Kenya, Thailand, South Korea, and Austria. She received an M.F.A. from the University of Minnesota, and now teaches at La Sierra University. She lives in California with her husband and daughter. This is her first book.

Iris Compiet is your guide to the Faultlines, a world filled with faeries and creatures from beyond the veil.

“Iris Compiet’s work is an astonishing and masterful revelation of the Faery Realms. She is an artist who, with stunning alacrity, reveals the fleeting person-alities of the normally unseen.” — Brian Froud

Let me tell you about Faeries— let me take you away on a journey, an adventure.The Faultlines is an ancient name given to those places where the veil between this

world and the Other is thinnest. It is the place where faeries dwell, creatures creep, and magic oozes through the cracks. Recently the Faultlines have been stirring, opening up to all who wish to see, and to all who dare to venture . . .

Faeries of the Faultlines was an instant Kickstarter success in 2017, and this edited, expanded edition includes the complete original documentation from the greenmen to mermaids, with expanded sections and many more faeries to meet!

Iris Compiet is an artist from the Netherlands who has always known exactly what she wanted to do: paint and illustrate fantastical beings and share them with the world. She draws inspiration from European folklore, mythology, fairy tales, ghost stories, Victorian photography, and tombstones. Storytelling is an essen-tial part of her artwork, and as an artist she strives to lure spectators to make them feel a connection with her work and ignite their imaginations. She has made a name for herself on Instagram, Twitter, and Kickstarter with several projects, but most noticeably with the first edition of Faeries of the Faultlines. She illustrated The Dark Crystal Bestiary: The Definitive Guide to the Creatures of Thra, released October 2020.

A retelling of the classic tale, luminously illustrated in color charcoal.

“Ashly’s haunting portraits feel like a pang of remembrance, the shudder which comes from recalling a forgotten memory at long last.” — Cory Godbey, award- winning illustrator for the Dark Crystal series

Ashly Lovett brings you an adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s 1830’s “The Little Mermaid.” The little mermaid has always yearned for the strange and exciting life of the humans. For humans have everlasting souls and mer-maids merely return to the ocean as sea foam upon their death.

After saving a human man during a sea storm, she soon desired his love and an eternal soul. Naive and desperate, the little mermaid turns to the banished sea witch among the world pools. The exchange to be human was high. Scared, but determined, she begins her journey to find love and a soul.

Lit with bioluminescence, the bottom of the ocean is a dark mystery as allur-ing as the human world above. Lovett’s little mermaid is given relevant internal thoughts and agency over her choices, which makes them at once more under-standable and heartbreaking.

Ashly Lovett is known for her ethereal and hauntingly beautiful chalk pastel work. She began her career as an illustrator in 2015 and has since worked with clients and galleries across the world. Inspired by folklore and mythology, she hopes to bewitch her viewers with a deep sense of wonder and dark nostalgia. She has worked for Jim Henson Company, Adult Swim, Netflix, Sega, and more. She and her husband live in Louisiana with their cat, Skeletor.

American and British feminist writers respond to the personal and political, in light of the coronavirus pandemic.

In the spring of 2020, a rapidly spreading global pandemic changed the contem-porary world. COVID-19 exposed dangerous fault lines in countries like the United States and the United Kingdom, which had long enjoyed the illusion that they were capable of handling large-scale crises like this. The virus has brought to the fore institutional failures concerning public health, unemployment, and government stability, and exacerbated conditions for vulnerable and marginal-ized groups. Racial disparity, domestic abuse, food insecurity, and social welfare are re considered in the wake of a startling new reality: lockdown and severe eco-nomic precarity.

In essays, short fiction, poetry, and more, writers respond to the personal and political in the time of pandemic. Marking the one- year anniversary of lockdown in the US and the UK, these pieces consider where we go from here— and remind us that, despite it all, we are not alone.

This Is How We Come Back Stronger is an essential collection for our times, fea-turing contributions from Glory Edim, Fatima Bhutto, Layla Saad, Juliet Jacques, Kate Mosse, Michelle Tea, Lisa Taddeo, Akasha Gloria Hull, Amelia Abraham, Virgie Tovar, and more.

The internationally recognized sexual assault memoir that revolutionized a feminist movement around rape, stigma, and silence in Japan.

In 2015 an aspiring young journalist named Shiori Ito charged prominent re-porter Noriyuki Yamaguchi with rape. After meeting up for drinks and net-working, Ito remembers regaining consciousness in a hotel room while being assaulted. But when she went to the police, Ito was told that her case was a “black box”— untouchable and unprosecutable.

Upon publication in 2017, Ito’s searing account foregrounded the #MeToo movement in Japan and became the center of an urgent cultural and legal shift around recognizing sexual assault and gender- based violence. As international outlets covered every step of her story— even documenting it in the BBC film Japan’s Secret Shame— this book launched a societal reckoning. At the end of 2019, Ito won a civil case against Yamaguchi.

With careful and quiet fury, Black Box recounts a broken system of repression and violence—and heralds the beginning of a new solidarity movement seeking a more equitable path toward justice.

Shiori Ito contributes news footage and documentaries to the Economist, Al Jazeera, Reuters, and other primarily non- Japanese media outlets. In 2017 she published Black Box about her own experiences as a rape survivor, making her one of the few women in Japan to speak out against sexual assault.

A powerful account of a Korean American daughter’s exploration of food and family history to understand her mother’s schizophrenia.

Grace M. Cho grew up as the daughter of a white American merchant marine and the Korean bar hostess he met abroad. They were one of the few immigrants in a xenophobic small town during the Cold War, where identity was politicized by everyday details— language, cultural references, memories, and food. When Grace was fifteen, her dynamic mother experienced the onset of schizophrenia, a condition that would continue and evolve for the rest of her life.

Part food memoir, part sociological investigation, Tastes Like War is a hybrid text about a daughter’s search through intimate and global history for the roots of her mother’s schizophrenia. In her mother’s final years, Grace learned to cook dishes from her parent’s childhood in order to invite the past into the present. And through careful listening over these shared meals, Grace discovered not only the things that broke the brilliant, complicated woman who raised her— but also the things that kept her alive.

Grace M. Cho is the author of Haunting the Korean Diaspora: Shame, Secrecy, and the Forgotten War, which received a 2010 book award from the American Sociological Association. She teaches at the College of Staten Island, CUNY.

This lyrical memoir of late motherhood reconstructs the lost history of a Black American family—defying erasure,

intergenerational trauma, and racist violence.

“In this evocative memoir, Cassandra Lane deftly uses imagination to reclaim her ancestors’ story as a backdrop for telling her own. The tradition of Black women’s storytelling leaps forward within these pages— into fresh, daring, and excitingly new territory.” — Bridgett M. Davis, author of The World According to Fannie Davis

When Cassandra Lane finds herself pregnant at thirty- seven, the knowledge sends her on a poignant exploration of memory to prepare for her “late” entry into motherhood. She moves between the twentieth- century rural South and present- day Los Angeles, reimagining the intimate life of her great-grandparents Mary and Burt Bridges, and Burt’s lynching at the hands of vengeful white men in this south-ern town.

We Are Bridges turns to creative nonfiction to reclaim a family history from violent erasure so that a mother can gift her child with an ancestral blueprint for their future. Haunting and poetic, this debut traces the strange fruit borne from the roots of personal loss in one Black family— and considers how to take back one’s American story.

Cassandra Lane’s stories have appeared in the New York Times’ Conception series, the Times- Picayune, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and elsewhere. She is managing editor of L.A. Parent magazine.

Twentysomething and restless, Skye flits between cities and stagnant relation-ships until she meets Scottie, a disarming and disheveled British traveler, and Pieces, an enigmatic artist living in New York. The three recognize each other as kindred spirits— Black, punk, whimsical, revolutionary— and fall in together, leading Skye on an unlikely adventure across the Atlantic. They live a glori-ous, subterranean existence in 1990s London: making multimedia art, throwing drug- fueled parties, and eking out a living by busking in Tube stations, until their existence is jeopardized by the rise of CCTV and policing.

In fluid and unrelenting prose, Jamika Ajalon’s debut novel explores youth, poetry, and what it means to come to terms with queerness. Skye Papers is an imaginative, episodic group portrait of a transatlantic art scene spearheaded by people of color— and of the fraught, dystopian reality of increasing state surveillance.

Jamika Ajalon is an interdisciplinary artist based in Paris.

A committed writer- activist- absurdist who walked barefoot across America to wake us up to climate change.

Mark Baumer—visionary prankster, heartfelt activist, comedic moralist, mad-cap novelist—displays all his unique talents, finally, in one collection that can be read and learned from, or perhaps in Mark style, screamed from the mountain tops or into the phone of a literary agent. What he accomplished in his writing, in his activism, is so unique, so amazing, it bucks the cliché of “like no one else” because listen up: there’s no one like Mark Baumer. —Shane Jones

In 2017 Mark Baumer was walking across America when he was struck and killed by an SUV. This selection— poems, a novel, a Tinder profile, some cover letters, an MFA application, some posts— shows the literary production of his prolific attitude of care and dedication.

From “Did the earth die in Pennsylvania”?

As I walked last night I listened to a man explain why the earth we had once known was already dead. There’s already too much carbon in the atmosphere. Too many gla-ciers have already melted. The ocean is becoming more and more acidic. We can’t reverse the damage we’ve already done.

You can glue a broken light bulb back together and it might still work but the light will never be the same.

So I guess I woke up on a dead planet. It still felt sort of alive. I still felt sort of alive.When I forget if I’m alive or not I sometimes try to write poems about my

breath.

Born and raised in Maine, Mark Baumer was a graduate of the Brown MFA program, a “web content specialist,” and a labor organizer in Providence, RI. A member of the group FANG (Fighting Against Natural Gas Convergence), his work is continued by the Mark Baumer Sustainability Fund.

Evil Readers, rejoice! The hateful sequel written by Satan has arrived.

Behold Encyclopaedia of Hell II, a disgraceful tour de force of literary Blasphemy! Herein demon scholars have curated the True Hidden History of Satan’s rogue mission— to conquer Heaven, kill his Creator, and take over the Universe. Pickled with paradoxy, puzzles, and paranoia, herein lie terrible cosmic secrets stolen from God’s Library, including the mystery of why God created Satan, mosquitoes, cellulite, and murder hornets.

After Hell’s army conquers Insignificant Earth and devours the human race in a celebratory feast, Lord Satan reveals that he will now journey deep into the universe to find the throne of the despised Creator. There Satan will depose God and take his rightful place as Emperor of Existence.

However, hellish complications quickly arise: exposed to the rays of the Celestial Sun, Satan’s horns and claws become brittle and his undercarriage breaks out in a rash. A hypnotic, ghostly nun named Debbie seduces the naïve King of Hate into taking a wrong turn. Now Lord Satan must face Oblivion when he en-ters Heaven’s labyrinthine Library, from which there is no escape.

When the Armies of Hell arrive to find Lord Satan, they find a disturbing se-cret at the core of Creation too shocking for even demons to stomach.

Martin Olson’s savage wit provides the firepower for a preposterous literary feat unaccomplished since Mark Twain and Ambrose Bierce passed— channeling the real voice of Satan.

As a satirist, Martin Olson has inflicted numerous comedy series on the popu-lace via HBO, CBS, Showtime, Comedy Central, Disney, and FX.

When does the guru go too far?

Gabriel of Urantia is the leader of a UFO religion based in the desert of south-ern Arizona. He has spent the last three decades weaving together his belief sys-tem, a tapestry of Eastern spirituality, Born Again Christianity, and New Age plati tudes. In a compound in the desert near the Mexican border, his 100- plus disciples tend the garden, take classes, and serve their guru while they wait for the end of the world.

For years, journalist and author Joseph L. Flatley has investigated Gabriel’s cult, the Global Community Communications Alliance. New Age Grifter: The True Story of Gabriel of Urantia and His Cosmic Family is the culmination of this research. Utilizing legal documents, press accounts, academic research, and untold hours of exclusive interviews, New Age Grifter gets to the heart of life in this experimental society. It also places it in the wider context among American New Religious Movements and utopian communities.

In addition to spiritual pretensions, Gabriel is a guru with an eye towards the recording charts. TaliasVan and the Bright and Morning Star Band is a twelve- piece hippie jam band that combines Gabriel’s spiritual teachings with a vocal style that would fit alongside the country’s most bizarre outsider artists.

How does this cult make its money? How does it control its followers? What is its connection to a powerful and controversial hedge fund billionaire? And why did TaliasVan and the Bright and Morning Star Band cancel its first and only tour? New Age Grifter answers these questions and many more.

Chicago’s dark history told through forgotten people and places.

Chicago— lauded as hog- butcher by poet Carl Sandburg, then damned as a can-nibal in Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle— was also a city of wanderers, truants, and delinquents. It was home to the largest tuberculosis sanitarium in the coun-try, as well as a dizzying number of public and private institutions for wayward children and the indigent, mad, and poor. Chicago’s influential, socially progres-sive institutions were respected as saviors of the immigrants and “lower classes.” Yet, events such as the race riots of 1919 laid bare the eugenic truth of an on-going, second Civil War operating as the Northern status quo.

Mother Chicago is the real story of these institutions. Organizations surveyed include the obscure experiment called the Chicago Parental School, founded to punish juvenile delinquents found in violation of compulsory school attendance laws. The book also covers the great Municipal Sanitarium that occupied the far northern boundaries of the City, a sector of quarantine and detention built on stolen lands that acted as a limiter on the production of dreams and an orphan zone for people cast adrift by societal decree.

As the City grew larger, these institutions became fissures in the streets and transport lines, odd reminders of the Gilded Age which had made them. Mother Chicago tells the story of these specters, now largely forgotten but still haunt-ing the working class in the form of real estate redlining, property speculation, racism, and collateralized debt. Like a game of snakes and ladders, the City lays her traps for the unlucky and benighted on a numbered grid.

Crises are converging to form a meta- catastrophe that challenges the very existence of modern civilization.

These are dark— and darkening— times, which challenge us to look deeper and grasp the roots of the looming civilizational crisis. Chronic illness of the planet calls for radically new thinking if there is to be any hope of renewal. When We Are Human offers insight into these dynamics at a necessary and primal level.

All previous civilizations have failed, and now there’s just one global civiliza-tion that is starkly, grandly failing. To deny or avoid this fact is to remain in the sphere of the superficial and the irrelevant. The physical environment is reach-ing the catastrophe stage as the seas warm, rise, acidify, and fill with plastics. Icebergs loom ahead, threatening us as we idly stand on the deck of the ship and watch the planet die.

There are endless interrelated failures in the technosphere of ever- greater dependence and estrangement. Social existence, now strangely isolated, is beset by mass shootings, rising suicide rates, slipping longevity, loneliness, anxiety, and a maddening stream of lies and disingenuous politics. Ranging from pre history to contemporary struggles and covering the fields of philosophy, technology, and psychology— John Zerzan’s original essays serve readers a view of possible re-newal on every level.

Zerzan trains his passionate focus on several fields of discourse: anthropol-ogy, history, philosophy, technology, psychology, and the spiritual. His vision is a point of light that functions as a kaleidoscope, refracting new insights and con-tributing a singular perception to the overall picture of late civilization.

A playful “essay for the stage” on the ills of capitalism from the

2004 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate.

2004 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate Elfriede Jelinek’s Rein Gold reconstructs the events of Wagner’s epic Ring cycle and extends them into the present day. Originally written as a libretto for the Berlin State Opera, Rein Gold is a bühnen-essay, an essay for the stage, structured in the form of a dialogue between Wotan, father of the gods, and his favourite daughter, Brünnhilde, in the third act of The Valkyrie. In stream of consciousness monologues, Brünnhilde and Wotan touch on a number of events from the days of the Nibelungen Saga to the 2008 financial crash caused by the US subprime mortgage crisis and the role of banks therein, and through Marx’s ideas as developed in Das Kapital, written almost contempo-raneously with Wagner’s Ring cycle.

Elfriede Jelinek, who was born in 1946 and grew up in Vienna, now lives in Vienna and Munich. She has received numerous awards for her literary works, which include not only novels but also plays, poetry, essays, translations, radio plays, screenplays and opera librettos. She was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2004 for her “musical flow of voices and counter- voices in novels and plays that, with extraordinary linguistic zeal, reveal the absurdity of soci-ety’s clichés and their subjugating power.”

A crystalline and poignant epistolary novel from the author of Ash before Oak.

In Bolt from the Blue, Jeremy Cooper, the winner of the 2018 Fitzcarraldo Editions Novel Prize, charts the relationship between a mother and daughter over the course of thirty- odd years. In October 1985, Lynn moves down to London to enroll at Saint Martin’s School of Art, leaving her mother behind in a suburb of Birmingham. Their relationship is complicated, and their only form of contact is through the letters, postcards and emails they send each other periodically, while Lynn slowly makes her mark on the London art scene. A novel in epistolary form, Bolt from the Blue captures the waxing and waning of the mother- daughter rela-tionship over time, achieving a rare depth of feeling with a deceptively simple literary form.

Jeremy Cooper is a writer, journalist, and broadcaster who has written and pub-lished widely on art and antiques. He has appeared regularly on BBC’s Antiques Roadshow, was co- presenter of Radio 4’s The Week’s Antiques, and is the author of five novels and several works of nonfiction on art and design. He won the 2018 Fitzcarraldo Editions Novel Prize for Ash before Oak.

A paean to the transformative powers of language- learning from the winner of

the 2019 Fitzcarraldo Editions Essay Prize.

In this dazzling debut, Polly Barton reflects on her experience of moving to the Japanese island of Sado at the age of twenty- one and on her journey to becoming a literary translator. Written in fifty semi- discrete entries, Fifty Sounds is a per-sonal dictionary of the Japanese language that draws together a variety of cul-tural reflections— from conformity and being an outsider, to the gendering of Japanese society, and attitudes towards food and the cult of “deliciousness”— alongside probing insights into the transformative powers of language- learning. Candid, humane, witty and wise, Fifty Sounds is remarkable work that takes a transparent look at language itself, lifting the lid on the quietly revolutionary act of learning, speaking, and living in another language.

Polly Barton is a translator of Japanese literature and nonfiction. Born in 1984, and raised in west London, she studied philosophy at Cambridge before travel-ling with the JET Programme to teach English in Sado Island, Japan. Her trans-lations include Spring Garden by Tomoka Shibasaki (Pushkin Press, 2017) and Where the Wild Ladies Are by Aoko Matsuda (Tilted Axis Press, 2020). She won the 2019 Fitzcarraldo Editions Essay Prize for Fifty Sounds.

An exhilarating meditation on humanity, history and violence from the author

of the Nocilla Trilogy.

Written in three parts, The Things We’ve Seen is an exhilarating and anarchic explo-ration of social relations which offers thought- provoking ideas on our perceptions of humanity, history, violence, art and science. The first part follows a writer who travels to the small, uninhabited island of San Simon, where he witnesses events which impel him on a journey across several continents, chasing the phantoms of nameless people devastated by violence. The second book is narrated by Kurt, the fourth astronaut who secretly accompanied Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins on their mythical first voyage to the moon. Now living in Miami, an ageing Kurt revisits the important chapters of his life: from serving in the Vietnam War to his memory of seeing earth from space. In the third part, a woman embarks on a walking tour of the Normandy coast. On her journey, she comes across a number of locals, but also thousands of refugees newly arrived on Europe’s shores, whose stories she follows on the TV in her lodgings.

Agustín Fernández Mallo is one of Spain’s most influential and critically ac-claimed contemporary authors. His latest novel, The Things We’ve Seen, was awarded the Biblioteca Breve Prize in 2018.

Using innovative tasks and exercises, the reader can engage in a plan designed to defeat addiction and restore lifestyle balance. This book is designed to be used as an adjunct to therapy, and works well with the twelve step programs, or other programs such as SMART recovery.

Accessing the online world provides new, exciting, and disturbing things. You probably discovered porn, gaming, social media, and endless information on any subject that interests you.

Soon you learned that with a smartphone in hand, you were granted Internet access 24/7, anytime, anywhere.

With all this saturation of digital media, it is not surprising that people get hooked so easily. When we are overexposed to anything that overstimulates the pleasure centers of the brain, there is great risk for addiction. Many people do not think about activities as being potentially addictive, but they can be.

Dr. Hilarie Cash and Cosette Rae, MSW cofounded reSTART Life, PLLC, the first residential and transition program in the USA and Canada to treat adult Internet and video game addicts.

Dr. Patrick Carnes is the founder of the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP) and Gentle Path Press. He is regarded as the foremost expert on sexual addiction in the United States.

The Treatment of Prostitution Solicitors (T.O.P.S.) Program is an innovative new treatment program for individuals who struggle

with prostitution use and it is designed for use in group therapy.

This is a cutting- edge treatment program designed to reduce the demand for sex buying. Whether it is compulsive or addictive sexual behavior, or if it is problem-atic pornography use, the innovative tools in this comprehensive treatment pro-tocol can assist in eliminating these problematic behaviors. The T.O.P.S. program contains a facilitator guide and a participant manual to make group therapy en-gaging and effective.

You do not have to be someone who uses sex compulsively or who suffers with addictions to benefit from T.O.P.S. However, it is critical to your well- being (as someone who has a history of hiring people to perform sexual favors, acts, or behaviors, or even to provide companionship) to better understand yourself and ultimately find the answers to why you thought paying for sex was a good op-tion. Spending time working with your therapist, being in a twelve- step program, and engaging with your therapy group for the T.O.P.S. program are the best ways to use the materials in this workbook— and enter a lifetime of change, a life we call recovery.

Pennie J. Carnes is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist. She is an expert on the treatment of addiction, trauma, and sexuality. Mrs. Carnes was a facilitator of a “John School Program” and she has taken that expertise and mapped it out into the T.O.P.S. program, a comprehen-sive program for treating sex buyers.

resiliency skills to restore happiness, harmony, and lifestyle balance for those recovering from all types of addictions.

Recovery Zone Volume 2 provides real answers about how to stay in the zone when traumatic events, toxic stress, and easy access to escape surrounds you. The goal must be an “Ultimate to do List” so you do not miss out on the life you want and feel a genuine call to do. Core to this platform is a resilience scale built on ten master skills and thirty operational strategies that users describe as a “defining” passage into a new life.

You have made the decision. You realize you can no longer live like this. The costs are too high. For some of us, the decision is remade over time, but inch by inch we resolved to make it different. There is the “dark passenger” in our head who argues about our choice to be better. The even greater challenge with your decision to change, is the question of how to do it? We ask “how to take the dark corners of ourselves and bring them into the light?” The commitment wavers and so does the struggle.

Patrick J. Carnes, PhD, is the founder of the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP) and Gentle Path Press. He is an inter-nationally recognized expert, presenter, and interview subject on the topic of sex addiction.

The first volume to bring the groundbreaking career of German- born modernist artist Winold Reiss (1886–1953) to light,

focusing on his work in New York, from his arrival in 1913 up to 1940.

Artist Winold Reiss (1886–1953) emigrated from Germany to New York City in 1913, the year that the Armory Show shook the American art scene to its core. The full- color images in this timely new volume bring Reiss’s prolific, influential, and under- appreciated work to the public, expanding popular understanding of both his art, his significance, and of American visual culture.

Reiss’s famous portraits of Harlem Renaissance figures— cultural icons such as Zora Neale Hurston, Langston Hughes, and Alain Locke— feature along-side a broad representation of his other work: murals, prints, magazine covers, groundbreaking graphic design, interiors and furniture. All tell the story of ar-tistic life in New York in the years 1914–1939, interweaving Reiss’s own virtuoso talent in artistic fields across the arts spectrum.

Reiss’s aesthetic modernism was more than fifty years ahead of its time in using commercial art techniques to liberate portraiture from its nineteenth- century moorings. It would not be until the portraits of Andy Warhol in the 1960s that an American artist would apply the lessons of commercial illustration to the making of portraits as Reiss did earlier.

This is a must- have book for all baseball and fashion fans, a groundbreaking, eye- popping volume that traces the design and aesthetics of the iconic baseball jersey both on and off the baseball field. Full of striking images, it covers over 170 years of development, experimentation, and dissemination of the American- style shirt in sport, on the runway, and in everyday life.

While there have been studies on the history of the baseball jersey, and the jer-sey in streetwear, this is the first volume that connects the trend from its origin to the present day and throughout different aspects of fashion. The Iconic Jersey is packed with images of forty historic and contemporary uniforms, as well as often controversial baseball- inspired fashion— flannel wool fabrics, vibrant tech-nicolor, button- up bib fronts, even ties and collars—drawn from the Baseball Hall of Fame, Cooperstown; the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, Washington, D.C.; and the Boston Red Sox, they are supplemented with other ephemera, including Terry O’Neill’s famous photos of Elton John at Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium in 1975 in a Bob Mackie designed Dodger’s uniform, and Nike’s 2020 designs for the Major Leagues.

Sportswear designers argue that baseball’s uniform is long overdue for a de-sign overhaul, but tradition, and nostalgia, still outweighs functionality. Author Erin Corrales- Diaz examines these wider sociological issues: why do we care so much about sports attire, and what do such clothes mean to the wider world.

Erin R. Corrales- Diaz, PhD is assistant curator of American Art, Worcester Art Museum.

An entirely updated and expanded new volume which explores the subject

of “lover’s eyes,” hand- painted miniatures of single human eyes set in jewelry.

Until the early 2000s, little had been written about eye miniatures or “Lover’s Eyes,” and their short- lived popularity at the end of the eighteenth- and early nineteenth- centuries, when hand- painted portraits of single human eyes were set in jewellery. This completely updated and extended volume features over 130 pieces from the Skier Collection, one of the most complete such collections of this genre of miniature painting anywhere in existence.

Six illustrated essays cover themes such as fakes and forgeries, the charming “Flower Eyes,” and the persistence of the eye image. A book for scholars, dealers, collectors as well as all those interested in antique jewelry.

An extraordinary book about one of the most comprehensive groupings of ancient

Egyptian jewelry in the United States.

This beautifully photographed book introduces the reader to the collecting ac-tivities of an early twentieth century Bostonian couple with a passion for ancient Egypt. Laura and Kingsmill Marrs were guided in their acquisitions by Howard Carter, the archaeologist who would later achieve worldwide recognition for his discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922. Under his guidance, the Marrs’ purchased an outstanding selection of scarabs, amulets, jewelry, and cosmetic- related articles, including rare blue- toned stone vessels. 250 pieces from their col-lection, as well as objects from Worcester Museum of Art’s stellar collection of Egyptian antiquities, are included in this new volume.

The first major retrospective of the work of British Pop Artist

Antony Donaldson.

Antony Donaldson’s friendships with Royal College of Art students Patrick Caulfield, Allen Jones and Peter Phillips put him firmly in the vanguard of the Pop Art movement in London in the 1960s. Born in 1939, Donaldson was cho-sen in 1964 for the landmark New Generation exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery which included David Hockney and like Hockney, Donaldson moved to California, where he painted daringly simple compositions using saturated co-lour and sensual forms. This monograph by author, critic, and curator Renaud Faroux includes an illustrated chronology, an exhibition checklist and a bibliog-raphy. Bilingual French and English.

An accessible, single- volume, highly visual history that tells the remarkable story of four centuries of Black history in Virginia.

Intended for general audiences, this publication presents a concise, highly illus-trated overview of four centuries of black history in Virginia— from the arrival of the first enslaved Africans in 1619, through slavery and emancipation, segrega-tion and the Civil Rights Movement, the election of the first Black President and present- day racial justice activism. Across these four centuries, Black Virginians have fought against various forms of oppression and, in the process have brought about meaningful changes in American society.

Determined presents a chronological survey of this history through the stories of thirty five key extraordinary individuals, both famous and obscure, who struggled for equality in diverse ways and shaped the fight for Black equity; in-cluding Angela, one of the first African slaves to reach Virginia in 1619, Ralph Henry of Gloucester who fought for the British in the American Revolution, and Barbara Johns Powell whose school strike in 1961 was instrumental in the legal ruling that began the dismantling of Jim Crow segregation. Although focused on Virginia, this is very much an American story, not only because Black people have shaped America’s economic, political, and cultural identity, but also because Virginia has played a formative and central role in national race relations.

Determined fills a great need for an accessible, responsible, comprehensive, and current publication about the history of race and racism, a need which is par-ticularly urgent given the events of 2020 which have prompted an international reckoning with systemic racism.

Describing the neuroscientific basis for effective psychotherapy, Professor Holmes draws on the Free Energy Principle, which holds that, through “active inference” the brain minimises discrepancies between incoming experience and its pre- existing picture of the world. Holmes explains it is the difficulties with these pro-cesses which underlie clients’ need for psychotherapeutic help.

An urgent call to change the story of police violence against women and girls.

Since the movement’s founding in 2014, #SayHerName has gained international attention and has served as both a rallying cry and organizing principle in the after math of police killings of Black women, including, most recently, the police killing of Breonna Taylor.

Black women, girls, and femmes as young as seven and as old as ninety- three have been killed by the police, though we rarely hear their names or learn their stories. Breonna Taylor, Alberta Spruill, Rekia Boyd, Shantel Davis, Shelly Frey, Kayla Moore, Kyam Livingston, Miriam Carey, Michelle Cusseaux, and Tanisha Anderson are among the many lives that should have been.

The #SayHerName campaign lifts up the stories of these women and girls in order to build a gender- inclusive framework for understanding, discussing, and combating police violence.

#SayHerName is a powerful story of Black feminist practice, community- building, enablement, and reckoning.

Kimberlé Crenshaw, professor of law at UCLA and Columbia Law School, is a leading authority in the areas of civil rights, Black feminist legal theory, and race, racism, and the law. Her work has been foundational in two fields of study that have come to be known by terms that she coined: critical race theory and inter-sectionality. She cofounded and serves as the executive director of the African American Policy Forum.

The African American Policy Forum is an innovative think tank that connects academics, activists, and policymakers to promote efforts to dismantle structural inequality. AAPF is dedicated to advancing and expanding racial justice, gender equality, and the indivisibility of all human rights, both in the United States and internationally.

Critical insights from artists, activists, and scholars on the frontlines of the fight against racism and Covid- 19.

Coronavirus did not create the stark social, financial, and political inequalities that define life for so many people, but it has made them more strikingly visible than any moment in recent history.

This brilliant collection of the most important insights from the Under The Blacklight livestream event series and Intersectionality Matters podcast, hosted by Kimberlé Crenshaw and the African American Policy Forum, examines the inter-sectional dimensions of capitalism, patriarchy, racism, and nationalism that have converged in the pandemic and its aftermath.

These essential thinkers shine a light on the stories and counter- stories that help us understand the past, illuminate the present, and shape the future. They also examine the historic moment of the #BlackLivesMatter rebellion, and un-pack the central role that ideological whiteness continues to play in the US re-sponse to both Covid- 19 and police violence.

The book features contributions from Keeanga- Yamahtta Taylor, Ibram X. Kendi, Arundhati Roy, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Naomi Klein, V, formerly Eve Ensler, Eddie Glaude Jr., Ai- jen Poo, Dorothy Roberts, Alicia Garza, Marc Lamont Hill, Bree Newsome, Robin D. G.

This expanded edition of Keeanga- Yamahtta Taylor’s groundbreaking book features a new chapter and a foreword by Angela Y. Davis.

“This brilliant book is the best analysis we have of the #BlackLivesMatter mo-ment of the long struggle for freedom in America. Keeanga- Yamahtta Taylor has emerged as the most sophisticated and courageous radical intellectual of her generation.” — Dr. Cornel West

“Keeanga- Yamahtta Taylor’s searching examination of the social, political, and economic dimensions of the prevailing racial order offers important context for understanding the necessity of the emerging movement for Black liberation.” — Michelle Alexander

“Ultimately, From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation is an essential read for anyone following the Movement for Black Lives. The text chronicles a portion of history we rarely ever see, while also bringing together data and deep primary source research in a way that lucidly explains the origins of the current moment.” — Los Angeles Review of Books

In this stirring and insightful analysis, activist and scholar Keeanga- Yamahtta Taylor surveys the historical and contemporary ravages of racism and persistence of structural inequality such as mass incarceration and Black unemployment. In this context, she argues that this new struggle against police violence holds the potential to reignite a broader push for Black liberation.

Keeanga- Yamahtta Taylor writes and speaks on Black politics, social move-ments, and racial inequality in the United States. She is a contributing writer at the New Yorker and assistant professor of African American studies at Princeton University.

Incisive analysis of the history and politics of Black liberation struggle by radical scholar Donna Murch.

Black Panther and Cuban exile Assata Shakur has inspired multiple generations of radical protest, including our contemporary Black Lives Matter movement. Drawing its title from one of America’s foremost revolutionaries, this collection of thought- provoking essays by award- winning Panther scholar Donna Murch explores how social protest is challenging our current system of state violence and mass incarceration.

This timely and urgent book shows how a youth- led political movement has emerged since the killing of Trayvon Martin that challenges the bi- partisan con-sensus on punishment and looks to the future through a redistributive, queer, and feminist lens. Murch frames the contemporary Black Lives Matter move-ment in relation to earlier struggles for Black liberation, while excavating the ori-gins of mass incarceration and the political economy that drives it.

Assata Taught Me offers a fresh and much- needed historical perspective on the fifty years since the founding of the Black Panther Party, in which the world’s largest police state has emerged.

Donna Murch is an associate professor of history at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, and sits on the executive council of the Rutgers AAUP- AFT. She is the author of Living for the City: Migration, Education, and the Rise of the Black Panther Party in Oakland, California.

The brutal killings of Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, and Breonna Taylor, and countless other injustices large and small, were the match that lit the spark of the largest protest movement in US history, a historic uprising against racism and the politics of disposability that the Covid- 19 pandemic lays bare.

In this urgent and incisive collection of new interviews bookended by two new essays, Marc Lamont Hill critically examines the “pre- existing conditions” that have led us to this moment of crisis and upheaval, guiding us through both the perils and possibilities, and helping us imagine an abolitionist future.

Marc Lamont Hill is the Steve Charles Professor of Media, Cities, and Solutions at Temple University. He is the author of five books, including the New York Times bestseller Nobody: Casualties of America’s War on the Vulnerable, From Ferguson to Flint and Beyond. He is the host of BET News and the Coffee & Books podcast, and the Owner of Uncle Bobbie’s Coffee & Books in Philadelphia.

A reflection on prison industrial complex abolition and a vision for collective liberation from organizer and educator Mariame Kaba.

“Organizing is both science and art. It is thinking through a vision, a strategy, and then figuring out who your targets are, always being concerned about power, always being concerned about how you’re going to actually build power in order to be able to push your issues, in order to be able to get the target to actually move in the way that you want to.”

What if social transformation and liberation isn’t about waiting for someone else to come along and save us? What if ordinary people have the power to collectively free ourselves? In this timely collection of essays and interviews, Mariame Kaba reflects on the deep work of abolition and transformative political struggle.

With chapters on seeking justice beyond punishment, transforming how we deal with harm and accountability, and finding hope in collective struggle for abolition, Kaba’s work is deeply rooted in the relentless belief that we can fun-damentally change the world. As Kaba writes, “Nothing that we do that is worth-while is done alone.”

Mariame Kaba is an organizer and educator who is active in movements for ra-cial, gender, and transformative justice. She is the founder and director of Project NIA, a grassroots organization with a vision to end youth incarceration. Mariame is currently a researcher at Interrupting Criminalization: Research in Action at the Barnard Center for Research on Women, a project she cofounded in 2018.

This revised and expanded paperback edition of the NAACP Image Award nominee features additional material from the 2020 uprising for Black Lives, and includes two new essays.

On April 18, 2015, the city of Baltimore erupted in mass protests in response to the brutal murder of Freddie Gray by police.

Devin Allen was there, and his iconic photos of the Baltimore uprising be-came a viral sensation. In these stunning photographs, Allen documents the up-rising as he strives to capture the life of his city and the people who live there. Each photo reveals the personality, beauty, and spirit of Baltimore and its people, as his camera complicates popular ideas about the “ghetto.”

Allen’s camera finds hope and beauty doing battle against a system that sows desperation and fear, and above all, resistance, to the unrelenting pressures of racism and poverty in a twenty- first- century American city.

Devin Allen was born and raised in West Baltimore. He gained national atten-tion when his photograph of the Baltimore Uprising was published on the cover of Time in May 2015— only the third time the work of an amateur photographer had been featured. His photographs have also appeared in New York Magazine, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and Aperture, and in the permanent collections of the National Museum of African American History & Culture, the Reginald F. Lewis Museum, and the Studio Museum in Harlem. He is the founder of Through Their Eyes, a youth photography educational program, and the winner of the 2017 Gordon Parks Foundation Fellowship.

Glenn Greenwald’s riveting follow up to his acclaimed international bestseller No Place to Hide.

“In 2019,” award- winning journalist Glenn Greenwald writes in this gripping new book, “a series of events commenced that once again placed me at the heart of a sustained and explosive journalistic controversy.”

New reporting by Greenwald and his team of Brazilian journalists brought to light stunning information about grave corruption, deceit, and wrongdoing by the most powerful political actors in Brazil, his home since 2005.

These stories, based on a massive trove of previously undisclosed telephone calls, audio, and text shared by an anonymous source, came to light only months after the January 2019 inauguration of Brazil’s far- right president, Jair Bolsonaro, an ally of President Trump.

Securing Democracy takes readers on a fascinating ride through Brazilian poli-tics as Greenwald, his husband, the left- wing Congressman David Miranda, and a powerful opposition movement courageously challenge political corruption, homophobia, and tyranny.

Glenn Greenwald is one of three cofounding editors of the Intercept. The NSA reporting he led for the Guardian was awarded the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for public service and the 2014 Esso Award, the Brazilian equivalent of the Pulitzer. His 2019 reporting won the Vladimir Herzog Award, named after a Jewish immigrant journalist murdered in 1977 by the Brazilian military dictatorship.

An incisive collection of essays from an author who is consistently ahead of the curve.

“Astra Taylor is a rare public intellectual, utterly committed to asking humanity’s most profound questions yet entirely devoid of pretensions and compulsively readable.” — Naomi Klein

Over the last decade, author and activist Astra Taylor has helped shift the na-tional conversation on topics including technology, inequality, indebtedness, and democracy. The essays collected here reveal the range and depth of her think-ing, with Taylor tackling the rising popularity of socialism, the problem of au-tomation, the politics of listening, the possibility of rights for the natural and nonhuman world, the future of the university, the temporal challenge of climate catastrophe, and more. Addressing some of the most pressing social problems of our day, Taylor invites us to imagine how things could be different while never losing sight of the strategic question of how change actually happens.

Curious and searching, these historically informed and hopeful essays are as engaging as they are challenging and as urgent as they are timeless. Taylor’s unique philosophical style has a political edge that speaks directly to the growing conviction that a radical transformation of our economy and society is required.

Astra Taylor is a filmmaker, author, and activist. She is the author of The People’s Platform: Taking Back Power and Culture in the Digital Age and Democracy May Not Exist, But We’ll Miss It When It’s Gone. She also wrote the foreword to Can’t Pay, Won’t Pay: The Case for Economic Disobedience and Debt Abolition by the Debt Collective.

Merging documentary poetry from the epicenter of an epidemic with the story of viruses in the evolution of humanity,

If God Is a Virus gives voice to the infected and the virus.

Based on original reporting from West Africa and the United States, and the poet’s experiences as a doctor and journalist, If God Is a Virus charts the course of the largest and deadliest Ebola epidemic in history, telling the stories of Ebola survivors, outbreak responders, journalists, and the virus itself. Documentary poems explore which human lives are valued, how editorial decisions are weighed, what role the aid- industrial complex plays in crises, and how medical myths and rumor can travel faster than microbes.

These poems also give voice to the virus. Eight percent of the human genome is inherited from viruses and the human placenta would not exist without a gene descended from a virus. If God Is a Virus reimagines viruses as givers of life and even authors of a viral- human self- help book.

Dr. Seema Yasmin is an Emmy Award- winning journalist, professor, medical doctor, and author of three books, including Muslim Women Are Everything. She teaches science journalism and global health storytelling at Stanford University, and is the director of the Stanford Health Communications Initiative. Her poetry has appeared in Foundry, The Literary Review, Ruminate, and Bateau, and in the anthology The BreakBeat Poets Vol. 4: Halal If You Hear Me.

Smoking Lovely is one of the foundational texts of anti- gentrification Nuyorican literature, inspiring a whole generation of poets in their

attempts to survive and subvert the neoliberal city.

“Willie Perdomo is an electric poet. His poems crackle with energy. The poet knows his beloved barrio, what to celebrate and what to condemn. He also has the courage to confront his own demons. There is raw pain in this voice,and much more: humor, irony, music, intelligence.” — Martín Espada

Smoking Lovely’s explores the neoliberal city at the intersection of community and commodity. In this radically revised new edition, Perdomo shifts the poem into mostly second person, thereby further accentuating its self- reflexive and complex exploration of self- and/as- other, and of the simultaneous othering, commodifica-tion, and spectacularization of Afro- diasporic bodies and cultural forms.

Willie Perdomo is the author of The Crazy Bunch, The Essential Hits of Shorty BonBon, Where a Nickel Costs a Dime, a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, winner of the International Latino Book Award, winner of the PEN Open Book Award, and a finalist for the Poetry Society of America Norma Farber First Book Award. His work has appeared in New York Times Magazine, The Norton Anthology of Latino Literature, Poetry, Bomb Magazine, and African Voices. He is currently a Lucas Arts Program Literary Fellow and teaches English at Phillips Exeter Academy.

In this updated second edition new material from the author offers critical insight for the current reparations debate.

“Franke passionately argues that the continuation of the vast disparities between Black and white people in US society— a product of slavery itself— means that the struggle for reparations remains a relevant demand in the current move-ments for racial justice.” — Keeanga- Yamahtta Taylor

“To begin the road to repair, Katherine Franke makes a persuasive case for reparations as at least a first step toward creating the conditions for genu-ine freedom and justice, not only for African Americans but for all of us.” — Robin D. G. Kelley

Katherine Franke makes a powerful case for reparations for Black Americans by amplifying the stories of formerly enslaved people and calling for repair of the damage caused by the legacy of American slavery. Repair invites readers to ex-plore the historical context for reparations, offering a detailed account of the cir-cumstances that surrounded the emancipation of enslaved Black people in two unique contexts, the Sea Islands of South Carolina and Davis Bend, Mississippi, Jefferson Davis’s former plantation. Through these two critical historical examples, Franke unpacks intergenerational, systemic racism and white privilege at the heart of American society and argues that reparations for slavery are necessary, overdue, and possible.

Katherine Franke is one of the nation’s leading scholars writing on law, racial justice, and African American history. Her first book was Wedlocked: The Perils of Marriage Equality. She is the Sulzbacher Professor of Law, Gender and Sexuality Studies at Columbia University and chair of the board of Trustees of the Center for Constitutional Rights.

A feminist reclamation of London’s hidden history, through a reimagining of the city’s iconic Tube map.

Londoners Reni Eddo- Lodge and Emma Watson are collaborating with author Rebecca Solnit and geographer Joshua Jelly- Schapiro to reimagine the city’s iconic Tube map.

A new collection of extensive interviews with the world’s greatest public intellectual on four years of an American nightmare.

“Chomsky is a global phenomenon . . . he may be the most widely read American voice on foreign policy on the planet.” — New York Times Book Review

The Precipice is a collection of interviews with the world’s leading public intellec-tual from the time of the rise of Donald Trump to power to the end of his presi-dency. Noam Chomsky sheds light into the phenomenon of Trumpism, exposes the catastrophic nature and impact of Trump’s policies for average Americans, the environment, and the planet, and captures the dynamics and contradictions operating in the United States today— from the brutal class warfare launched by the masters of capital to maintain and even enhance the features of a dog- eat dog society to the unprecedented mobilization of millions of people against neo-liberal capitalism, racism, and police violence.

Noam Chomsky is the author of numerous bestselling political works, which have been translated into scores of countries worldwide. Recent books include What Kind of Creatures Are We?, as well as Optimism Over Despair.

C. J. Polychroniou is a political economist/political scientist who has taught and worked in universities and research centers in Europe and the United States. His first book of interviews with Noam Chomsky, Optimism over Despair, was pub-lished by Haymarket Books.

A compelling argument that rebuilding unions requires solidarity with migrant workers and opening borders.

The aggressive exploitation of labor on both sides of the US–Mexico border has become a prominent feature of capitalism in North America. Kids in cages, vio-lent ICE raids, and anti- immigrant racist rhetoric have become features of politi-cal discourse in Trump’s America and are every day shaping how people intersect at the US–Mexico border.

Despite the violence of the police state dedicated to the repression of trans-border populations— the migra- state— migrant workers have been at the fore-front of class struggle in the United States. Labor and migrant solidarity movements are showing how we can fight for justice, rebuild the international union move-ment, and why we must open the border.

Justin Akers Chacón is an activist, labor unionist, and educator living in the San Diego–Tijuana border region. He is a professor of Chicana/o history at San Diego City College. His other books include No One is Illegal (with Mike Davis) and Radicals in the Barrio.

At a time when the world looks bleak and art seems small, critic Ben Davis

offers a constructive and hopeful look at what it means to make art.

We are living through a time of disorienting transformation for anyone working in the arts, as giant corporate forces, massive political shifts, and looming politi-cal, technological, and ecological crises can make art feel small at best, and like a distraction at worst.

In Making Art in Terrible Times, leading art critic Ben Davis offers a guide to navigating major debates around art, politics, and technology. In these incisive and accessible essays, Davis shows how tectonic shifts have disturbed what it means to be an artist in the twenty- first century, charts a map of the pitfalls those disruptions present, and finds hope in the opportunities that still exist for art to make a meaningful difference to a world on fire.

Ben Davis is author of 9.5 Theses on Art and Class, and essays for The Baffler, Jacobin, the New York Times, and elsewhere. A 2019 survey of art writers ranked him as the fifth most influential critic in the United States.

“One of the best pieces of graphic storytelling I have read in a while, on top of being about a topic close to my heart. Truly, it was brilliant.” — Thi Bui, author of The Best We Could Do

Based on the events of the historic 2013 California prison hunger strike, Flying Kites is a story about resilience, forgiveness, hope, and what it means to find your own voice. The story centers on Rodrigo Santiago who is sent to indefinite soli-tary confinement in the SHU. Life in the SHU is monotonous, isolating, and enraging.

Rodrigo resolves to survive. He struggles to maintain a connection to his daughter, Luz, through letters that are his only happiness. Meanwhile a bold, state- wide hunger strike in California prisons gathers force. Activists and pris-oner families organize on the outside. Finding herself increasingly politicized over this issue, Luz fears she can never help her dad. Rodrigo fears he’s lost his daughter forever. On opposite sides of the prison’s walls they fight to end the torture of endless isolation.

Violent Order explores the everyday practices of police and

policing as modes of violence in the fabrication of social order.

This book’s radical theory of police argues that the police demand for order is a class order and a racialized and patriarchal order, by arguing that the institu-tion of policing, in order to fabricate and defend capitalist order, must patrol an imaginary line between society and nature and transform nature into inert mat-ter made available for accumulation. The thin blue line doesn’t just refer to a so-cial order, rather police announce a general claim to domination— of labor and of nature.

A collection of all the resolutions adopted by Second International congresses during the movement’s revolutionary

Marxist period of 1889–1912.

Recent years have seen a massive growth of interest in socialism, but few are fully aware of socialism’s revolutionary history. For this reason, an apprecia-tion of the Second International is particularly relevant. The resolutions of the Second International helped disseminate and popularize a revolutionary aim: the overturn of capitalism and its replacement by the democratic rule of the working class, as a first step toward socialism. This book is the first English- language collection ever assembled of all the resolutions adopted by congresses of the Second International in its Marxist years.

Mike Taber has edited and prepared a number of books related to the history of revolutionary and working- class movements.

“Jim Heynen’s short stories hold an abundance of good will and human feeling. . . . They are little news items of the human spirit.”

— Raymond Carver

“Jim Heynen left his family’s Iowa farm for the wide world many years ago, but the farm never left his mind. And from that mind comes a parade of winsome stories about this mythic little hero, the youngest boy— often ignored by the elders, plucky and expendable, constantly courting trouble, curious, tirelessly indus-trious in his shenanigans, and ever alive to the unfolding creation of farm life. Readers will relish the close attention this boy brings to everything he touches as resident inspector of the intricate ordinary lives of animals, crops, customs, secrets, and treasures of enigma lost and found. He’s a kind of Huck drifting through the seasons, an unruly seed in good earth.” — Kim Stafford

Jim Heynen’s stories about unnamed farm boys first appeared many years ago. Several collections of the “boy stories” have been published since then. This is the first collection to focus on the youngest boy, a character who can be a dreamer one minute, a troublemaker the next, and a problem- solver the next. The youngest boy’s charm is in his unpredictability.

Jim Heynen grew up on an Iowa farm in one of the last areas in the state to get electricity. He is best known for his short- short stories The Man Who Kept Cigars in His Cap; You Know What is Right; The One- Room Schoolhouse; The Boys’ House; and Ordinary Sins. He lives in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

Go beyond the headlines to learn about the real Iran.

“Tara Kangarou has created a work of people- to- people diplomacy, using her words to paint pictures of a very different country than the harsh, angry land de-picted in the news.” — Anne- Marie Slaughter

“The Heartbeat of Iran gives us an illuminating and powerful portrait of a people who have been so often mischaracterized, and whose voices deserve to be heard.” — Ben Rhodes, author, The World as It Is: A Memoir of the Obama White House

“Tara Kangarlou brings to life the Iranian people— a people much mis under stood (and even maligned) in the west— and allows them their own voice in showing us what makes them who they are.” — Hooman Majd, author, The Ayatollah Begs to Differ

The Heartbeat of Iran takes us on a journey into everyday life in Iran, where we meet the diverse people who make up the country’s delicate socio- cultural, po-litical, and religious mosaic. Through intimate portraits of regular Iranians— including a blind Sunni environmental activist; Iran’s first female race car driver; a paraplegic Olympian; and a young rabbi training the future generation of Jewish rabbis in Israel’s enemy state— we meet a people whose dreams and fears mirror that of countless others worldwide, and who yearn to join an international com-munity that often views them through the blur of a hostile political fog.

Tara Kangarlou is an award- winning journalist who has produced and reported for NBC, CNN, and Al Jazeera America as well as many digital news outlets. She was the recipient of the Ted Sorensen Award from Network 20/20 for her impact journalism and humanitarian work in conflict zones. She founded ART OF HOPE, the first American nonprofit with the sole mission of supporting the psycho- social and mental health needs of war- torn refugees. Tara was born and raised in Tehran, and currently lives in London.

An exciting new voice in international literary fiction.

Coconut trees. Carnival. Rum and coke. To many outsiders, these idyllic images represent the supposed easy life in Caribbean nations such as Trinidad and Tobago. However, the reality is far different for those who live there— a society where poverty and patriarchy savagely rule, and where love and revenge often go hand in hand.

Written in a combination of English and Trinidad Creole, Pleasantview re-veals the dark side of the Caribbean dream. In this novel- in- stories about a fictional town in Trinidad, we meet a political candidate who sets out to slaugh-ter endangered turtles for fun, while his rival candidate beats his “outside- woman,” so badly she ends up losing their baby. On the night of a political rally, the abused woman exacts a very public revenge, the trajectory of which echoes through Pleasantview, ending with one boy introducing another boy to a gun and to an ideology which will help him aim the weapon.

Merging the beauty and brutality of Trinidadian culture evoked by writers such as Ingrid Persaud and Claire Adam with the linguistic experimentation of Marlon James’s A Brief History of Seven Killings, Pleasantview is a landmark work from an important new voice in international literary fiction.

Celeste Mohammed ’s work has appeared in The New England Review, Litmag, Epiphany, and The Rumpus, among other places. Several of the stories in Pleasantview have won awards, including the 2018 PEN/Robert J. Dau Short Story Prize for Emerging Writers, the 2019 Virginia Woolf Award for Short Fiction, and the 2017 John D Gardner Memorial Prize for Fiction. A native of Trinidad and Tobago, Celeste graduated from Lesley University with an MFA in Creative Writing. She currently resides in Trinidad with her family.

The first- ever comprehensive collection of the writings of the man considered the father of public relations.

Nicknamed “the father of public relations,” Edward Bernays (1891–1995) was a pioneer in the fields of propaganda and PR. Combining theories on crowd psy-chology with the psychoanalytical ideas of his uncle, Sigmund Freud, Bernays elucidated how corporations and politicians could manipulate public opinion. Bernays described the masses as irrational and subject to herd instinct and out-lined how skilled practitioners— including Bernays himself in his work for many corporations— could control them in desirable ways. His seminal 1928 book Propaganda laid out how propaganda could be used to regiment the collective mind in a variety of areas, including government, politics, art, science and edu-cation, while his 1923 classic, Crystallizing Public Opinion, set down the prin-ciples that business and government have used to influence public attitudes over the past century.

The Edward Bernays Reader: From Propaganda to the Engineering of Consent, is the first comprehensive volume of the writings of this influential and contro-versial figure. In addition to featuring extended excerpts from Crystallizing Public Opinion and Propaganda, this book also includes the full text of Bernays’ classic 1947 essay, “The Engineering of Consent,” on the application of scientific prin-ciples and practices to the task of getting people to support ideas and programs, as well as extensive selections of his other writings on subjects including edu-cation, war propaganda, and polling. Taken together, the material in this book offers the most complete look to date at the work of a man whose ideas are con-sidered the single most important influence on modern propaganda, public rela-tions, and spin.

Talking animals, flying shamans, orphans so poor they have to walk barefoot through

the snow, and men so strong they can carry a whale all on their own: you’ll meet

all of them and more in this collection.

Based primarily on explorer and anthropologist Knud Rasmussen’s transcrip-tions of oral tales, the stories in this anthology of old Greenlandic myths and legends have been passed down through generations. This collection features stories about children and young people— stories that were told in the depths of winter, that the youngest listeners would one day tell to their own children.

Gunvor Bjerre is a journalist and librarian. She is passionate about sharing old Greenlandic Inuit myths and legends, which are a part of the country’s cultural heritage.

Miki Jacobsen is one of Greenland’s best- known and most highly regarded artists.

In 1953, Inuit were relocated to establish sovereignty in the barren High Arctic. In the first memoir published about

the relocation, Larry Audlaluk shares the hardships of this journey.

When Larry Audlaluk and his family were relocated to the High Arctic, they were promised a land of plenty. They discovered an inhospitable polar desert. Juxtaposed with excerpts from official government reports, Larry leads the reader through his family’s struggle to survive and fight to return home with refreshing candour and an unbreakable sense of humour— and through a life between two worlds as southern culture begins to encroach on Inuit traditions.

Larry Audlaluk was inducted into the Order of Canada for his years working as an ambassador for the people of Grise Fiord, Canada’s northernmost civilian settle ment, and is the community’s longest- living resident.

Fifteen- year- old Corinth was just trying to clean up the beach; she never expected to meet a mermaid, let alone be nearly drowned by one.

After Skylla, the deadly fanged mermaid, mysteriously lets Corinth live, they grow closer through a cautious exchange of stories, gifts, jokes, and sign language. Mermaids, it turns out, eat people, but however terrifying Skylla may look, she’s a little younger, a little smaller, and perhaps a little too soft for all that. Bewitched by Corinth and their growing bond, she learns about all the best things in life on land: books, burgers, donuts, and this strange chattering human sound called laughter.

But a storm is brewing— both at sea and in Corinth’s increasingly dangerous relationship with her obsessively jealous boyfriend— and a magical bargain may be the only thing that can save her, at a tremendous cost.

A whimsical, dark fantasy retelling of The Little Mermaid in subject matter and reminiscent of Twilight and The Lost Boys in mood, The Sea in You upends every-thing you thought you knew about magical creatures of the deep, on a whirlwind journey to a whole new world you’ve only dreamed of before!

For 4,000 years, the Greenland Dog has been the true hero of the Arctic—today, with global warming melting his world away, his fate is uncertain.

Arctic Heroes takes a poignant look at the fate of the Greenland sled dog. In Greenland, where the melting ice sheet is irrevocably disrupting the hunters’ 4,000- year old traditional way of life, the stark reality of global warming is an im-mediate and direct threat to their everyday survival. Sled dogs, essential to Inuit settlement and survival, now face extinction as hunters are forced to adapt to the vanishing world around them. Years ago, there were 30,000 dogs in Greenland. There are now about 12,000. The species is around 9,000 years old and thus among the oldest and most courageous and fearless dogs on Earth. In over 140 images, and through hunters’ personal stories, this book bears witness to the animals’ magnificence and the deep, integral role they play in the hunters’ lives.

For over forty years, Ragnar Axelsson, Rax, (b.1958, Reykjavík), has been pho-tographing the people, animals, and landscape of the most remote regions of the Arctic, including Iceland, Siberia, and Greenland. In stark black- and- white images, he captures the elemental, human experience of nature at the edge of the liveable world, making visible the extraordinary relationships between the people of the Arctic and their extreme environment. Axelsson’s photographs have been featured in renowned international newspapers, and magazines, and have been exhibited widely. Awards for his work include numerous Icelandic Photojournalist Awards; The Leica Oskar Barnack Award 2020 (Shortlisted); The Grand Prize, Photo de Mer, Vannes; and Iceland’s highest honor, the Order of the Falcon, Knight’s Cross.

For two years they have been sending photos to each other, ping- pong- like from East Coast to West Coast. The photos themselves are beauti-ful, clever, and reveal more about them than words ever could.

Their ongoing visual conversation has blossomed into a deeper relationship.

Where Native American history and American expansion collide: A reflection

on the historical impacts of Manifest Destiny, connecting a mysterious and ancient past with the familiar present.

Vanishing Points is an ongoing project that focuses on significant sites of indig-enous American presence. The book combines beautiful analog landscape pho-tography with extensive research of historical archives, maps and contemporary satellite imagery. While the documented sites are literal and metaphorical van-ishing points, the photographer reflects on what archeological evidence of our civilization will reveal about our time on earth.

Michael Sherwin is a multimedia artist based in the Appalachian Mountains of northern West Virginia. He has won numerous grants and awards. Currently, he is an Associate Professor of Art in the School of Art and Design at West Virginia University.

First major publication about the American photographer, revealing his

diversity and images of dynamic beauty.

American photographer Peter Fink (1907–1984) started his career as a designer. He traveled the globe from the 1950s to 1970s, moving in hidden streets and in-dustrial towns of post- war Japan, France, Portugal, northern Africa, and the Middle East, photographing workers and street scenes. Arts and culture are re-curring themes, as well as the life of workers, families or children in each new place he observed, but also expressive portraits and fashion, surreal still- lives, or reflections on architecture. During his lifetime Peter Fink was honored with over fifty solo shows in institutions throughout the world. His work is held in promi-nent museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

Rehearsing war: behind the scenes of the United States military forces.

The Pretend Villages documents the inhabitants and structures of imagined, fab-ricated Iraqi and Afghan villages on the training grounds of US military bases. Situated in the deep forests of North Carolina and Louisiana and in a great ex-panse of desert near Death Valley in California, these villages serve as strange and poignant way stations for soldiers headed off to war, and for those who have fled from it: American troops encounter actors, often recent immigrants from Iraq and Afghanistan, who are paid to play a version of the lives they left behind. Christopher Sims photographed in these surprising and fantastical realms over a fifteen- year period as US wars abroad fluctuated in intensity.

Through this book, we will explore the actions that invite these blessed unseen beings to pray upon you, and carry your name and mention to the One who created us all.

Omar Suleiman is a Professor of Islamic Studies at SMU and the Founder of Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research in the United States.

FICTION / HISTORICALApril


An empathetic historical novel about unbending spirit and desire for freedom.

In the spring of 1968, the Czechoslovakian Communist Party experimented with “socialism with a human face”— known then as the “Prague Spring.” Suddenly there was freedom of the Press; an end to arbitrary wiretaps; and citizens regained the right to travel without prior authorizations and visas. The borders opened to the West, consumer goods appeared in the stores, and the winds of freedom blew over the country. Then, in late August, Soviet tanks invaded Prague to put an end to this brief liberalization experiment.

Viliam Klimacek’s historical novel describes the impact of Prague Spring and the Soviet Invasion on the lives and futures of twenty-five Czechoslovakian fami-lies. By retelling these stories of both Czech and Slovak diaspora, Klimacek re-veals how these political events would change the lives of these families forever. After briefly enjoying new freedoms they were forced to flee their homeland. Some saw their families torn apart; others lost their possessions or were dis-possessed. They all ventured on perilous journeys seeking refuge in new coun-tries; and, like all immigrants, they had to rebuild their lives and livelihoods.

The experiences that the characters endure and overcome are still repeated for untold millions again and again as people around the world flee intolerance, war, climate change, and other disasters in our contemporary age. Constructing his stories on real testimonies, Klimacek’s novel is a hymn to tolerance and the ne-cessity of supporting marginalized people.

The Hot Summer of 1968A Novel

Viliam KlimácekTranslated by Peter Petro




Dr. Alla Shapiro was a first responder at the worst nuclear disaster in history—

the explosion at Chernobyl in 1986.

Dr. Alla Shapiro was a first responder at the worst nuclear disaster in history— the explosion at Chernobyl in 1986. First responders triaged and administered first aid, extinguished fires, and cleaned up radioactive debris. No protocols were in place since no one considered the possibility of a nuclear accident. Amid an eerie and pervasive silence, Dr. Shapiro treated traumatized children and wit-nessed frightened families and civilians running barefoot across radioactive grounds to save others.

From the outset of the disaster the Soviet government worsen matters by spreading misinformation. First responders were ordered to be part of the de-ception of the public, which angered and disheartened Dr. Shapiro. This painful experience, along with the persistent discrimination and hostility that she en-dured as a Jewish citizen, led her family— like thousands of others— to leave and flee the oppressive USSR in the late 1980s.

Spurred on by her Chernobyl experiences, she rose to become one of the world’s leading expert’s in medical countermeasures against radiation exposure. For thirty years she worked for the FDA on disaster readiness and preparation— and has much to say about America’s readiness (or lack of readiness) for the cur-rent pandemic affecting the United States and the world.

A compelling appraisal of the divisive state of our world, and a bold, visionary blueprint for its transformation

through radical and all- inclusive love.

“Rabbi Dosick has written more theological books than this one, but none wiser or more courageous. While his idiom here is Jewish, my liberal Catholic heart is cheering.” — Jon M. Sweeney, Francis of Assisi in His Own Words

“This beautifully written call to love is more than an invitation; it is a lantern in the night. [It] reminds us that we belong to each other— all of us— and that this belonging is our salvation.” — Mirabai Starr, God of Love and Wild Mercy

Many of us feel as if our world is breaking apart. Unprecedented challenges are shattering our long- held beliefs. How do we heal the harsh divisions that separate us? How do we save our precious planet from threats to its very existence?

Radical Loving offers a bold, visionary, spirit- filled blueprint for the redemp-tion, transformation, and evolution of our world through open, nondiscrimi-natory loving and a day- to- day sense of the sacred. Expressing age- old wisdom using contemporary language, inspiring stories, and keen insights, Dosick gently guides us toward renewal and Oneness— showing us how Earth can be Eden once again.

Rabbi Wayne Dosick, PhD, is a spiritual guide who counsels about life trans-formations and evolving human consciousness. He is the leader of The Elijah Minyan, a retired visiting professor at the University of San Diego, and the host of the monthly online radio program SpiritTalk Live. He is the author of nine criti-cally acclaimed books, including the classic Living Judaism. He lives in La Costa, California.

A captivating and empowering true tale about aligning one’s life to a soulful calling. Perfect for

anyone drawn to spiritual love, adventure, and devotion.

“Sruti Ram is a fearless adventurer— a believer in miracles, mysticism, and magic. His wondrous life proves that for the sincere seeker, the one who cul-tivates the highest intention, all roads lead to God, eventually but inevitably.” — Sharon Gannon, founder, Jivamukti Yoga

“Sruti Ram reveals the road less travelled and the life of commitment to the jour-ney within. One feels the unfolding of life’s magic that arises not from mental planning, but from trusting one’s heart to show the way of true happiness in life.” — Stephan Rechtschaffen, MD, founder, the Omega Institute

Part Indiana Jones- style adventure story and part spiritual memoir, each chap-ter of this book is a step in Sruti Ram’s profound and surprising personal jour-ney. This entertaining story— replete with exotic places, Hindu deities, ancient temples, glittering festivals, and dangerous situations— is told with humor and warmth. Each chapter closes with a sutra (lesson) from the author himself, who offers compassion and guidance founded in his own experiences and the lessons of the ancient texts.

A book for spiritual seekers, adventure lovers, Hindu devotees or neophytes, yoga fans, and armchair travelers, or for anyone interested in personal growth and mystical experience, this book is illustrated with rare and never- before- seen pho-tos of Neem Karoli Baba, Ram Dass, Sruti Ram, and others.

Sruti Ram is a beloved figure in the community of Neem Karoli Baba. During his forty- year close association with Baba Ram Dass, Sruti Ram traveled across the United States leading kirtans and meditation retreats that have attracted thou-sands of participants. He lives in Woodstock, New York.

As states and school districts increasingly prohibit the suspension and expul-sion of young children, early childhood program leaders play a crucial role in en-abling children with challenging behavior to remain in school and learn.

This book offers ideas that leaders can actually implement— like building an environment that promotes positive behavior, reflecting on the effects of bias and expectations, and empowering staff to use guidance strategies— while maintain-ing a high- quality learning environment.

A compelling foundation for a new story of interconnectedness, showing how, as our civilization unravels, another world is possible.

As our civilization careens toward a precipice of climate breakdown, ecological destruction, and gaping inequality, people are losing their existential moorings. Our dominant worldview of disconnection— which tells us we are split between mind and body, separate from each other, and at odds with the natural world— has passed its expiration date.

Yet another world is possible.Award- winning author, Jeremy Lent, investigates humanity’s age- old

questions— Who am I? Why am I? How should I live?— from a fresh perspec-tive, weaving together findings from modern systems thinking, evolutionary bi-ology, and cognitive neuroscience with insights from Buddhism, Taoism, and Indigenous wisdom.

The result is a breathtaking accomplishment: a rich, coherent worldview based on a deep recognition of connectedness within ourselves, between each other, and with the entire natural world. It offers a compelling foundation for the new story that could enable humanity to thrive sustainably on a flourishing Earth.

The Web of Meaning is for everyone looking for deep and coherent answers to the crisis of civilization.

Education as if people and planet mattered.

In Transformative Learning, Satish Kumar reflects on the legacy of Schumacher College, a beacon of innovation that fosters an ecological- based, holistic model of higher education built around the college’s unique “learn by doing,” head, heart, and hands pedagogy.

Over fifty current and former instructors and alumni, including Vandana Shiva, David Orr, Kate Raworth, Fritjof Capra, Bill McKibben, Mary Evelyn Tucker, and Jonathon Porritt, paint a rich picture of education for human well- being and the ecological health of the planet.

Contributions delve deeply into the nature of transformational learning and holistic education, present a wealth of alumni experiences of working toward an ecological society, and detail the expansion of the Schumacher model to Belgium, Brazil, India, Japan, and beyond.

The result is a rich tapestry of ideas and educational methods packed with in-sights and experience for practitioners and activists looking to build a just, eco-logical society.

Satish Kumar is a longtime peace and environment activist and former Jain monk. Editor of Resurgence magazine from 1973 to 2016, he founded Devon’s Schumacher College and has authored several books, including Elegant Simplicity, and presented the BBC documentary Earth Pilgrim. He lives in Devon, UK.

Pavel Cenkl, PhD, is a former Dean of Sterling College, Vermont, researcher on ecologically minded curriculum development, environmental philosophy in-structor, and avid endurance runner. He is Head of Schumacher College and lives in Devon, UK.

A singular autobiography, rendered by the celebrated translator of Elena Ferrante’s bestselling novels.

“Marina Jarre is an original, powerful and incisive writer . . . Her works— true, small- scale, essential masterpieces— have found passionate readers and critics and have an indisputable place in Italian literature of the past fifty years.” — Claudio Magris, author of Danube and Blameless

This singular autobiography unfurls from author Marina Jarre’s native Latvia during the 1920s and 30s and expands southward to the Italian countryside. In distinctive writing as poetic as it is precise, Jarre depicts an exceptionally multi-national and complicated family: her elusive, handsome father— a Jew who per-ished in the Holocaust; her severe, cultured mother— an Italian Lutheran who translated Russian literature; and her sister and Latvian grandparents. Jarre tells of her passage from childhood to adolescence, first in a Baltic na-tion where she spoke and read German surrounded by the sound of many other tongues and religions, and then in traumatic exile to Italy after her parents’ di-vorce. Jarre lives with her maternal grandparents, French- speaking Waldensian Protestants in the Alpine valleys north of Turin, where she finds fascist Italy a problematic home for a Riga- born Jew. This memoir— likened to Speak, Memory by Vladimir Nabokov or Annie Ernaux’s The Years and now translated into English for the first time— probes questions of time, language, belonging and estrangement, while asking what homeland can be for those who have none, or many more than one.

Marina Jarre was born in Riga, Latvia, in 1925, and lived in Italy from 1935 until her death at the age of ninety in 2016. Cultural identity, personal character, psy-chology, and autobiographical themes are central elements of her novels and stories.

An eloquent novel about the fragmentation of human existence and the calamities of war.

“Narrates an ominous, impoverished, rough- edged, and cruel yet life- affirming reality . . . Tells the incredible story of how the city of Aleppo has been reduced to piles of rubble and blood- soaked dirt in the wake of a celebrated history, its once proud identity now lost in the shadows.” — Al- Bayan (Dubai)

“[Faysal Khartash] has always written imaginatively about the character of Aleppo, especially those relegated to the lower level, the margins. . . . He intimately chronicles Aleppo’s alleyways and secret corners, which is why most of his nov-els have faced state censorship.”— Al- Akhbar (Beirut)

Set in Aleppo in 2012, when everyday life was metronomically punctuated by steady bombing, Roundabout of Death offers powerful witness to the vio-lence that obliterated the ancient city’s rich layers of history, its neighborhoods and medieval and Ottoman landmarks. The novel is told from the perspective of an ordinary man, a schoolteacher of Arabic for whom even daily errands be-come a life- threatening task. He experiences firsthand the wide- scale destruc-tion wrought upon the monumental Syrian metropolis as it became the stage for a vicious struggle. Death hovers ever closer while the teacher roams Aleppo’s streets and byways, minutely observing the perils of urban life in an uncanny twist on Baudelaire’s flâneur. The novel, a literary edifice erected as an unflinch-ing response to the erasure of a once great city, speaks eloquently of the frag-mentation of human existence and the calamities of war.

Faysal Khartash is a leading Syrian author. He lives in his native Aleppo, has written several novels and works as a schoolteacher while contributing to Syrian newspapers.

A new collection of poems by Lambda Award winner, Rosamond S. King,

conceptualizing state violence, racism, and the persistence of Black desire,

resistance, and joy.

All the Rage addresses everyday pleasure as well as the present condition of rac-ism in the United States— a time marked both by recurring police violence and intense artistic creativity— from a variety of perspectives: being Black, an immi-grant, a woman, and queer. At its core dwells “Living in the Abattoir,” a series in which people of color live out their days as both workers and meat. All the Rage simultaneously invokes both anger at ongoing systemic violence and the frivolity of something that is, perhaps temporarily, “trending.”

Rosamond S. King is the author of Rock | Salt | Stone, which won the 2018 Lambda Award for Lesbian Poetry. She lives in Brooklyn.

Curb maps our post- 9/11 political landscape by locating the wounds of

domestic terrorism at unacknowledged sites of racial and religious conflict across

cities and suburbs of the United States.

Divya Victor documents how immigrants and Americans navigate the liminal sites of everyday living: lawns, curbs, and sidewalks undergirded by violence but also constantly repaved with new possibilities of belonging. Curb witnesses im-migrant survival, familial bonds, and interracial parenting in the context of na-tionalist and white- supremacist violence against South Asians. The book refutes the binary of the model minority and the monstrous, dark “other” by reclaiming the throbbing, many- tongued, vermillion heart of kith.

Psychologically rich, morally and ethically exhilarating, passionate and full of life, these stories reimagine central western myths—including the Book of Job and Gilgamesh—with women and queer people as central actors. In every sentence, Grahn proves how revisiting ori gin stories is a vital world- making activity.

A debut collection of love poems that resist subjection and ask how we might

live together outside of capitalism, providing for each other through

intimate acts of care and struggle.

In Permanent Volta, here are love poems about how queer intimacies invent po-litical and poetic forms, how gender devience imagines post- sovereign pre sents and futures. Full of bad grammar, strange sonnets, and truncated sestinas, these poems are for anyone motivated by the homoerotic and intimate etymology of comrade: one who shares the same room. If history sees writers as tops and muses as bottoms, these poems refuse, invert, and evade representation. Here, muses demand wages, then demand the world.

As if Marguerite Duras wrote Convenience Store Woman— a beautiful, unexpected novel from a debut French- Korean author.

“Mysterious, beguiling, and glowing with tender intelligence, Winter in Sokcho is a master class in tension and atmospherics, a study of the delicate, murky fila-ments of emotion that compose a life.” — Alexandra Kleeman

It’s winter in Sokcho, a tourist town on the border between South and North Korea. The cold slows everything down. Bodies are red and raw, the fish turn venomous, beyond the beach guns point out from the North’s watchtowers. A young French-Korean woman works as a receptionist in a tired guesthouse. One evening, an unexpected guest arrives: a French cartoonist determined to find in-spiration in this desolate landscape. The two form an uneasy relationship. When she agrees to accompany him on trips to discover an “authentic” Korea, they visit snowy mountaintops and dramatic waterfalls, and cross into North Korea. But he takes no interest in the Sokcho she knows— the gaudy neon lights, the scars of war, the fish market where her mother works. As she’s pulled into his vision and taken in by his drawings, she strikes upon a way to finally be seen. An exquisitely- crafted debut, which won the Prix Robert Walser, Winter in Sokcho is a novel about shared identities and divided selves, vision and blindness, inti-macy and alienation. Elisa Shua Dusapin’s voice is distinctive and unmistakable.

Elisa Shua Dusapin was born in France in 1992 and raised in Paris, Seoul, and Switzerland. Winter in Sokcho is her first novel. Published in 2016 to wide acclaim, it was awarded the Prix Robert Walser and the Prix Régine Desforges and has been translated into six languages.

Aneesa Abbas Higgins has translated books by Elisa Shua Dusapin, Vénus Khoury- Ghata, Tahar Ben Jelloun, Ali Zamir, and Nina Bouraoui. Seven Stones by Vénus Khoury- Ghata was shortlisted for the Scott Moncrieff Prize, and both A Girl Called Eel by Ali Zamir and What Became of the White Savage by François Garde won PEN Translates awards.

The previously untold story of the plot to kick Michel Foucault out of Poland in the 1950s.

In 1958, Michel Foucault arrived in Poland to work on his thesis— a work that eventually came to be published as The History of Madness. While he was there, he became involved with a number of members of the gay community, includ-ing a certain “Jurek,” who eventually led the secret police directly to Foucault’s hotel room, causing his subsequent exit from Poland. That boy’s motivations and true identity were hidden among secret police documents for decades, until Remigiusz Ryziński stumbled upon the right report and uncovered the truth about the whole situation.

Nominated for the Nike Literary Award, Foucault in Warsaw reconstructs a vibrant, engaging picture of gay life in Poland under communism— from the joys found in secret nightclubs, to the fears of not knowing who was a covert informant.

Remigiusz Ryziński is a philosopher, cultural critic, writer, and academic lec-turer who works on gender and queer theory; he has published three academic books. He is a graduate of the Jagiellonian University in Kraków and has also studied at the Sorbonne in Paris. He has received grants from the French gov-ernment, the Robert Schuman Polish Foundation, the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland, and the city of Warsaw. Foucault in Warsaw is his literary nonfiction debut.

Sean Gasper Bye is a translator of Polish fiction, reportage, and drama. He has published translations of Watercolours by Lidia Ostałowska, History of a Disappearance by Filip Springer, The King of Warsaw by Szczepan Twardoch, and Ellis Island: A People’s History by Małgorzata Szejnert. He’s also published shorter pieces in The Guardian, Words Without Borders, Catapult, World Literature Today, and elsewhere. He is a winner of the 2016 Asymptote Close Approximations Prize, a 2019 National Endowment for the Arts translation fellow, and former Literature and Humanities Curator at the Polish Cultural Institute New York.

New novel from the author of Four by Four exploring a single relationship existing outside of society’s norms.

“Mesa’s sentences are clear as glass, but when you look through you will be terri-fied by what you see.”—Laura van den Berg on Four by Four

Casi, who is almost fourteen years old, has been skipping school and spending her days hidden among the hedges in a local park, listening to music and read-ing women’s magazines. One day, a fifty- year- old man stumbles upon her hid-ing place, and the two strike up a friendship. He tells her about birds and Nina Simone, buys her soda and chips, and spends almost every day talking with her.

Despite their age gap, there’s something childlike about Old Man that leads Casi to believe that he’s not like the other men she’s encountered, the “dangerous ones.” But Old Man has a number of secrets in his past— all of which would be of grave concern to Casi’s parents or any other adult who witnessed one of their ren-dezvous. As these secrets rise to the surface, the clock is ticking, the weather is growing cold, and the school is untangling Casi’s set of lies, setting up a moment where something has to give.

With spare, direct prose, Sara Mesa imbues these two outcasts with a great deal of warmth, raising questions about society’s prejudices and assumptions, and creating a truly moving novel of an “inappropriate” relationship.

Sara Mesa is the author of eight works of fiction, including Scar (winner of the Ojo Critico Prize), Four by Four (a finalist for the Herralde Prize), An Invisible Fire (winner of the Premio Málaga de Novela), Among the Hedges, and Un amor. Her works have been translated into more than ten different languages, and she has been widely praised for her concise, sharp writing style.

Megan McDowell has translated many of the most important Latin American writers working today, including Samanta Schweblin and Alejandro Zambra. Her translations have won the English PEN award and the Premio Valle- Inclán, and been nominated three times for the International Booker Prize.

A blistering, expansive debut collection addressing sexual violence, #MeToo, and familial violence from

a rising star in Korean poetry.

“Kyungjin wails as if to detonate the roof of patriarchy. The destructive power of her cackling is likewise formidable. . . . Fiercely mocking herself, she tears off the clothes of falsehood and throws herself onto the sharp sword of irony.” — Kim Haengsook

Winner of the Kim Su- young Literary Award

Lee Soho’s debut collection of poems is an experimental, lyric bildungsroman that confronts dynamics of abuse as it challenges poetic form. Catcalling exposes and ridicules the violences that the speaker- protagonist Kyungjin encounters as she navigates a patriarchal world. Divided in to five formally distinct sections— ranging from lyric to prose poems to experimental mash- ups to concrete forms— the book begins in Kyungjin’s childhood home as she recounts the haunting claustrophobia of verbal and psychological abuse, and follows her into the world as an emerging female poet navigating pervasive sexism in the era of Korea’s own movement against sexual violence and the global #MeToo movement.

Lee’s poetry is reactive: reacting to a series of foils, but also initiating a kind of chemical reaction that introduces something radically new to a world that has such confining gender and artistic expectations for a young poet. Following in the footsteps of feminist Korean poets like Kim Hyesoon, Kim Yideum, and Choi Seung- ja, who have made their way to English audiences in recent years, Lee Soho emphatically heralds the arrival of the next generation.

Lee Soho (b. 1988) studied creative writing at the Seoul Arts University and earned an MA in Korean literature from Dongguk University. She made her debut winning the Newcomer Award in Modern Poetry in 2014. Her first col-lection, Catcalling, won the Kim Su- young Literary Award in 2018, the highest poetry honor in Korea. The judges deemed it, out of 237, “the only entry that dem-onstrates the intense energy of why the poem had to be written.”

So J. Lee is the translator of Lee Hyemi’s Unexpected Vanilla (Tilted Axis Press, 2020), Choi Jin- young’s To the Warm Horizon (Honford Star, 2021), and Lee Soho’s Catcalling (Open Letter Books, 2021).

Audacious, experimental, formally daring stories from a master of alternative Bengali literature.

Audacious experimentalist and self- declared anti- writer, Subimal Misra is the master of contemporary alternative Bengali literature and anti- establishment writing. This collection brings together twenty- five stories that record the dark history of violence and degeneration in the Bengal of the seventies and eight-ies. The mirror that Misra holds up to society is unfailingly precise in its icono-clasm. The stories also plot the continuous evolution of Misra’s writing as he searches for a form to do justice to the reality that confronts us. Deeply influ-enced by Godard, Misra uses montage and other cinematic techniques in his stories, which he himself calls “anti- stories,” challenging our notions of read-ing and of literature itself. Brilliantly translated by V. Ramaswamy, Wild Animals Prohibited: Stories/Anti- stories startles with its blasphemy, its provocative ideas, and its sheer formal daring.

Subimal Misra is a Bengali novelist, short story writer, and essayist. He is con-sidered by many to be one of most important, and experimental, Bengali writers of all time. Heavily influenced by Jean- Luc Godard and William S. Burroughs, Subimal Misra uses various cinematic techniques, like montage, jump- cut, etc., in his literary works. The author of more than a dozen books, Wild Animals Prohibited is only the second collection to appear in the United States.

V. Ramaswamy is a nonfiction writer and translator based in Kolkata, India. As an activist working for the rights of the laboring poor, Ramaswamy has written about workers, squatters, slums, poverty, housing, and resettlement, and has been at the forefront of efforts to envision and initiate the rebuilding of his city from the grassroots. Since 2005, he has been translating the short fiction of the Bengali anti- establishment experimental writer, Subimal Misra, whose critical eye exam-ines the society, politics and culture of his time.

A hybrid novel bringing overdue attention to the underrepresented people scarred by communism.

“Four Minutes is a novel about people on the margins of society. Different story-lines interlace in order to tell one story: about the invisibility. This is a book that grabs you by the throat, a poignant novel.” — Georgi Gospodinov, author of The Physics of Sorrow

Giving voice to people living on the periphery in post- communist Bulgaria, Four Minutes centers around Leah, an orphan who suffered daily horrors growing up, and now struggles to integrate into society as a gay woman. She confronts her trauma by trying to volunteer at the orphanage, and to adopt a young girl— a choice that is frustrated over and over by bureaucracy and the pervasive stigma against lesbians.

In addition to Leah’s story, the novel contains nine other standalone char-acter studies of other frequently ignored voices. These sections are each meant to be read in approximately four minutes, a nod to a social experiment that put forth the hypothesis that it only takes four minutes of looking someone in the eye and listening to them in order to accept and empathize with them.

A meticulously crafted social novel, Four Minutes takes a difficult, uncompro-mising look at modern life in Eastern Europe.

Nataliya Deleva is a Bulgarian- born writer living in London. Her debut novel Four Minutes won the Best Debut Novel Award (Peroto Literary Awards 2018), Second Prize for Debut Prose (Southern Spring, 2018) and was shortlisted for Novel of the Year (13 Centuries Bulgaria, 2018). Deleva recently completed her second novel, Arrival, written simultaneously in English and Bulgarian.

Izidora Angel is a Bulgarian- born writer, translator, and creative director liv-ing in Chicago. Her debut translation of Hristo Karastoyanov’s The Same Night Awaits Us All, received an English PEN grant, an ART OMI fellowship, and was shortlisted for Peroto Literary Awards in 2018.

A winningly funny look at the weird and wonderful history of common English words.

In this short and witty account of origins of many English words, Deborah Warren educates as she entertains— and entertain she does, leading her readers through the amazing labyrinth of the intricacies of related English words. “Language,” she writes, “is all about mutation.”

A former Latin teacher, a gifted poet, and a writer of such playfulness, Deborah Warren will become your friend as well as guide as you join her on her travels through the origins of words like liquor, flowers, laughter, clothes, the devil, magic, death, and onward. Strange to Say is a cornucopia of joyful learning and laughter.

The always- original Deborah Warren enchants the ear and delights

in new perspectives.

Deborah Warren’s witty and energetic poems are full of play and imagination. The title poem describes the mole, a “geonaut supreme” with his oddly enviable tun-nel vision. Other animals prompt views about humans, and not always happy ones. Alongside Charlemagne’s elephant and an intracoronary mosquito, topics in-clude a queen with an alleged tail, laughter- divination, and Neanderthal hygiene.

Deborah Warren is the author of three books of poetry— The Size of Happiness, Zero Meridian, winner of the New Criterion Poetry Prize, and Dream With Flowers and Bowl of Fruit, winner of the Richard Wilbur Award— and a transla-tion of Ausonius: The Moselle and Other Poems.

An insightful reading of the Book of Ruth by an American scholar

and his Israeli granddaughter.

Through its close reading and empathetic commentary, Reading Ruth: Birth, Redemption, and the Way of Israel vivifies this lovable Biblical text, enabling will-ing readers to vicariously experience how a widowed woman from a despised nation becomes the ancestress of the greatest Israelite king. Read in this wisdom- seeking exploration by grandfather and granddaughter, it sheds light on endur-ing questions of human life and the Hebrew Bible’s answers to these questions: the meaning of national membership and identity, the relative status of female friendship and marital love, and (especially) the redemptive powers for human life of childbirth and of loving- kindness and loyal devotion, both human and divine.

Does God have a recipe?

Holy Food explores the influence of newer and unorthodox beliefs on modern American food. Beginning with the infamous strawberry shortcake that sated visitors to the Oneida Community in the late 1800s to the celebratory cakes of the Unarius practitioners in present- day California, Christina Ward shows us a range of feasting and fasting.

Religious beliefs have been the source of food “rules” since Pythagoras told his followers not to eat beans (they contain souls), Kosher and Halal rules for-bade the shrimp cocktail (shellfish are scavengers, or maybe G- d just said “no”), and a long- ago Pope forbade Catholics to eat meat on Fridays (one should fast to atone for committed sins). In America, where the freedom to believe whatever you want and worship the god of not only of your own choice, but of your own making, people have embraced old traditions and invented new ones.

Holy Food looks at how the explosion of new religious movements since the Great Awakening birthed a cottage industry of food fads that have gained main-stream acceptance. It also examines the obscure sects and non- religious commu-nities of the twentieth century that dabbled in vague spirituality and used food to both entice and control followers. Ward skillfully navigates between archival cookbook collections, academic texts, and interviews to make sharp observations and new insights in this highly readable journey through the American kitchen.

Included are examples of rare cookbooks, interviews, and updated versions of “holy” recipes, complemented by a lively narrative that weaves it all together.

A timeless novel about complicated, conflicted, and disparate characters who are bound together by their working- class Los Angeles neighborhood.

In Shaky Town, Lou Mathews has written a timeless novel of working- class Los Angeles. A former mechanic and street racer, he tells his story in cool and panoramic style, weaving together the tragedies and glories of one of LA’s east-side neighborhoods. From a teenage girl caught in the middle of a gang war to a priest who has lost his faith and hit bottom, the characters in Shaky Town live on a dangerous faultline but remain unshakable in their connections to one another.

Like Sherwood Anderson’s Winesburg, Ohio, John Steinbeck’s Cannery Row, Katherine Ann Porter’s Ship of Fools, Gloria Naylor’s The Women of Brewster Place, and Pat Barker’s Union Street, Shaky Town is the story of complicated, con-flicted, and disparate characters bound together by place.

Lou Mathews is the author of L.A. Breakdown and a longstanding instructor at UCLA Extension’s acclaimed Creative Writing program. His stories have been published in ZZZYVYA, New England Review, Tin House, Black Clock, Paperback L.A., and many fiction anthologies. Mathews is also a journalist, playwright, for-mer restaurant critic, and passionate cook. He has received a Pushcart Prize, a Katherine Anne Porter Prize, and an NEA Fiction Fellowship, and is a recipient of the UCLA Extension Outstanding Instructor Award.

The memories, dreams and reflections of a modern lama born in the West who became heir to the traditions of Tibetan Buddhism.

River of Memory: Dharma Chronicles tells the remarkable story of the scholar and meditation master Lama Jampa Thaye— one of the first fully authorized masters of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition born and brought up in the West.

Lama Jampa recounts his beginnings as a boy born in a Catholic family in the northwest of England, from his first encounters with Buddhism and glimpses of the nature of reality, to receiving private teachings from some of the greatest Tibetan masters of the twentieth century, and ultimately becoming an autho-rized master of the Sakya and Karma Kagyu Traditions, establishing Buddhist centers and groups around the world and working tirelessly to spread the life- changing teachings of the Buddha to thousands of students worldwide.

River of Memory provides an extraordinary series of snapshots of the time for Buddhism in the West, chronicling the first visits of Tibetan masters in the late twentieth century, giving a vivid picture of the condition of Buddhism in the modern world, whether North America, Europe or Asia, and reflecting on the on-going interaction of Buddhism and Western culture.

Lama Jampa Thaye recounts the traditional education that he has received over his lifetime from his Tibetan masters— principally H.H. Sakya Gongma Trichen and Karma Thinley Rinpoche, but also from many other masters such as H.H. Karmapa. He recounts the vows that he has received and maintained, the textual teachings that he has received, the Vajrayana initiations obtained and the meditations that he has practiced.

Experience the powerful Wishing Prayer of Samantabhadra, who was deemed a role model and a Great Bodhisattva by the Buddha.

In December, 2009, at the well- known Buddhist pilgrimage location of Bodh Gaya, India, Shamar Rinpoche gave a teaching on the Noble King of Prayers of Excellent Conduct, also known as the Samantabhadra Wishing Prayer. This book is based on this teaching. In the past, Buddha Shakyamuni gave the teaching of the Samantabhadra Wishing Prayer to urge practitioners to treat the great Bodhisattva Samantabhadra as a role model to emulate so that all their wishes may be accom-plished. The Tibetan text, as well as an English- language version of the prayer it-self, translated by Pamela Gayle White under the guidance of Shamar Rinpoche, is included in the book. As the author states, “Once we accept that ‘our world’ is merely a mental experience, notions of big and small do not apply anymore, and our mind can hold any number of these manifestations. It is this capacity of our mind to extend itself beyond any limit that we have to use for our practice.”

Shamar Rinpoche, Mipham Chökyi Lodrö (1952–2014), was the 14th Shamarpa. Born in Derge, Tibet, Shamar Rinpoche was recognized by the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa in 1957 and by the 14th Dalai Lama. Shamar Rinpoche was an accom-plished Buddhist master and teacher, respected and cherished the world over. In 1996, he began organizing Bodhi Path Buddhist Centers, a network of cen-ters covering many continents, in which a non- sectarian approach to meditation is practiced. In addition, over the years, Shamar Rinpoche founded several non-profit organizations worldwide engaged in charitable activities, including proj-ects to provide schooling for children born into poverty, and an organization committed to promoting animal rights.

An impactful and experienced French Buddhist nun clarifies the Buddhist view on guilt.

The suffering of guilt takes its roots in the judgments we form about our errors. Yet, mistakes are bound to happen, be they of a cognitive or afflictive nature. They are born out of our emotional and imprecise representations that imprison us in our own version of reality. This is not really a problem as long as we are aware of it.

Clarifying our relationship to mistakes leads us to being less trapped in our own judgements, which will enable us to turn our errors into material for transformation.

Through the methods taught by the Buddha, especially meditation practice, we clarify our relationship to afflictive states of mind. This will deepen our capac-ity for reflection and broaden our discernment. Thus, our outlook on guilt will naturally change and we will find the resources necessary to adequately cope with everyday situations.

Anila Trinlé, a Buddhist nun, is a lecturer and instructor. Since the mid- 1990s, along with Lama Puntso, she has participated in the reflection on and develop-ment of a Buddhist approach to issues of modern- day society such as accompa-nying those in grief or at the end of life, ethics, professional life, and education. Furthermore, she is a member of the ethics committee of the Buddhist Union of France and helps coordinate the creation of Buddhist chaplaincies within hospi-tals. Her activity is connected to Dhagpo Kagyu Ling, the European seat of the Gyalwa Karmapa, and Dhagpo Bordeaux, a growing urban center in Aquitaine, France.

Learn the nine temperament traits that influence a child’s behavior and strategies for meeting temperament

needs that prevent or lessen challenging behaviors.

Why Temperament Matters: Guidance Strategies for Young Children addresses early childhood behavior guidance strategies related to children’s specific temperament traits. There are nine temperament traits that influence a child’s behavior: Activity Level, Distractibility, Persistence, Adaptability, Approach/Withdrawal, Intensity, Regularity, Sensory Awareness, and Mood. All nine temperament traits are grouped into three major categories of personality: easy/flexible, feisty/spirited, and slow to warm up/sensitive.

This book provides specific ideas about how a childcare provider can adjust the early childhood program and environment to meet the individual needs of each child’s temperament. There is a specific emphasis on children who fall into the feisty/spirited and the slow to warm up/sensitive categories because they are often the ones who are expelled with challenging behaviors. Why Temperament Matters explains where challenging behaviors may originate in temperament and provides strategies for meeting temperament needs that prevent or lessen challenging behaviors.

Cindy Croft, MA, is the director of the Center for Inclusive Child Care at Concordia University and has worked in the early childhood field for more than twenty five years. She provides technical assistance and training to early childhood educators on adapting their physical and emotional environments to meet children’s specific behavioral needs.

This empowering anthology is the first of its kind, featuring writing on lust and erotica by renowned Arab women writers.

It is a little- known secret that Arabic literature has a long tradition of erotic writ-ing. This groundbreaking collection celebrates these women’s voices who dare to articulate their own desires with artistry and skill.

These stories and poems of lust and erotica lay bare the most private, prohib-ited, and primitive sexual experiences and awakenings. Enter and experience tan-talising encounters in Parisian bars, stumble across dark confessions whispered in forgotten Beiruti alleyways, and be seduced by old friends learning to love again unexpectedly in later life.

Celebrating 7,000 years of Arab female writing on lust and erotica, this ex-hilarating anthology shows that there is no such thing as a typical sexual encoun-ter. Writers both classical and contemporary, including Adania Shibli, Isabella Hammad, Hanan Al Shaykh, Hoda Barakat, Leila Aboulela, Joumana Haddad and Leila Slimani, convey the complexities, intrigues and thrill of the chase, in-viting you to share their protagonists’ most private moments.

Paul Griner has culled from his research and personal experience to make an amazing, incredibly powerful, and brave novel.

“This novel has something important to teach us about our dangerous national addictions to violence, hostile projection, and political polarization and does so in that classic literary way: by making us care deeply about individual human beings.” — George Saunders, winner of the Man Booker Prize

Liam is the boy, lying in the hospital, in grave condition, a bullet lodged in his head. Otto is his father, a commercial artist whose marriage has collapsed in the wake of the disaster. Paul Griner’s brave novel taps directly into the vein of a uniquely American tragedy: the school shooting. We know these grotesque and sorrowful events too well. Thankfully, the characters in this drama are finely drawn human beings— those who gain our empathy, those who commit the un-speakable acts, and those conspiracy fanatics who launch a concerted campaign to convince the world that the shooting was a hoax. The Book of Otto and Liam is a suspenseful, edge- of- your- seat read and, at the same time, it is a meditation on the forms evil can take, from the irredeemable act of the shooter himself, to the anger and devastation it causes in the victims’ families. Griner has managed to make an amazing, incredibly powerful book, one that is like no other.

Paul Griner is the author of the novels Collectors, The German Woman, and Second Life, and the story collections Follow Me (a B&N Discover Great New Writers choice) and Hurry Please I Want to Know. He teaches at the University of Louisville.

History is a snake that eats the living. Let it swallow you. Count the ribs.

“An immediate prize- winner. A bold, brave, rare, genius, meticulous, deeper and deeper at work.” — Juan Felipe Herrera, Poet Laureate of the United States, Emeritus

Even Shorn takes its title from the Song of Solomon and that Book’s equation of pastoral feminine beauty with the plenty of harvest. Isabel Duarte- Gray argues that material bounty no longer exists in the rural spaces where she was raised. Duarte- Gray’s poetry mines local orature, family history, and folklore for the music of Western Kentucky, creating the sparse line breaks and the harsh syntax of the present. The poems describe quilt patterns with sinister shapes: “a snake’s tongue is a trigger finger/Man’s tongue pleases no one.” Animals proliferate: “One cat became five/five became nine. /Then a flood and ebb/as each moon brought its tide/below the trailer floor . . .” A grandfather plays drunk, soli tary Russian Roulette. A cousin lives in a closet. Duarte’s poetry is shocking, whip smart, and truly unique.

Isabel Duarte- Gray was born in Oakland, California and raised in Kuttawa, Kentucky. She is currently a PhD candidate at Harvard University, where she studies Latinx Literature, Poetry, and Ecocriticism. Her poems have appeared or are forthcoming in The Colorado Review, Bat City Review, The South Carolina Review, and december magazine, among others.

A guide to achieving the more joyful and interesting life that we know is within our grasp.

We all deeply crave a more exciting life. We know that many things are routine, hard, and a little boring. But we also sense that, if only we could find a way, our lives could be rendered more joyful, intense, and beautiful.

This is a guide to the more exciting life we know could be ours. It isn’t about the outward things we might do: travel, parachute out of airplanes, or learn a foreign language. This is a book of psychology, teaching us how we can nurture a sense of inner liberation, accept our desires, and have the courage to set ourselves free.

What counts as funny, and who gets to decide? Explore the serious business of stand- up with Andrew Hankinson, author of cult classic

You Could Do Something Amazing with Your Life [You Are Raoul Moat].

AMY SCHUMER. JERRY SEINFELD. CHRIS ROCK. SARAH SILVERMAN. And even Louis CK. They all worked the Comedy Cellar in Greenwich Village, honing their acts, experimenting, taking risks. It was a place for rising stars and celebrities alike to test new work, due to the principles of its first owner, Manny Dworman, then his son Noam. The only threat to freedom of expression was a lack of laughs.

But how did a New York taxi driver, born in Tel Aviv, create comedy’s most important stage? How did he influence some of the biggest names in stand- up? What are the limits of a joke? Who decides?

Andrew Hankinson speaks candidly with the Cellar’s owner, comedians, and audience members, using interviews, emails, podcasts, letters, text mes-sages, and previously private documents to create a conversation about the perils, pride, and prejudice of modern comedy. Moving backwards in time from Louis CK’s downfall to when Manny used to host folk singers including Bob Dylan, this is about a comedy club, but it’s also about the widening chasm in con-temporary culture.

Andrew Hankinson is a freelance feature writer who has contributed to many publications, including The New Yorker, Wired, Observer Magazine, and The Guardian. He also teaches at Newcastle University. His first book, You Could Do Something Amazing with Your Life [You Are Raoul Moat], won the CWA Gold Dagger for Non- Fiction in 2016. An excerpt of Don’t Applaud. Either Laugh or Don’t. originally appeared in The New Yorker.

An award- winning American debut— a ferocious and funny take on motherhood, femininity,

and trading Bohemian ideals for a kitchen remodel.

Resi is a writer in her mid- forties, married to Sven, a painter. They live, with their four children, in an apartment building in Berlin, where their lease is controlled by some of their closest friends. Those same friends live communally nearby, in a house they co-own and have built together. Only Resi and Sven, the token artists of their social circle, are renting. As the years have passed, Resi has watched her once- dear friends become more and more ensconced in the comforts and com-promises of money, success, and the nuclear family.

After Resi’s latest book openly criticizes stereotypical family life and values, she receives a letter of eviction. Incensed by the true natures and hard realities she now sees so clearly, Resi sets out to describe the world as it really is for her fourteen- year- old daughter, Bea. As Berlin, that creative mecca, crumbles under the inexorable march of privatization and commodification, taking relationships with it, Resi is determined to warn Bea about the lures, traps, and ugly truths that await her.

Written with dark humor and clarifying rage, Anke Stelling’s prize- winning novel is a ferocious and funny account of motherhood, parenthood, family, and friendship thrust into battle. Lively, rude, and wise, it throws down the gauntlet to those who fail to interrogate who they have become.

Anke Stelling was born in 1971, in Ulm, Germany. She studied at the German Literature Institute in Leipzig. Stelling is a multi- award- winning novelist whose previous works have been much acclaimed. Higher Ground is the first of her novels to be translated into English. Stelling lives and works in Berlin.

Each morning, the last humans start their day with graphic footage from the front. This is what sustains them— literally.

“A novel of rare visionary brilliance, Rise & Shine blew me away.” — Bram Presser, author of The Book of Dirt

For fans of George Saunders, Claire Vaye Watkins, Michel Faber, and anyone hungry for the next page- turning book of cli- fi and speculative fiction.

In a world where eight billion souls have perished in the wake of an ecological catastrophe, the survivors huddle together but apart, perpetually at war, in the city- states of Rise and Shine. Yet this war, far from representing their doom, is their means of survival. For their leaders have found the key to life when crops, live-stock, and the very future have been blighted— a key that turns on each citizen being moved by human suffering. Yet is this small hope, this compassion, enough to sustain them against the despair born of all the friends they’ve lost, all the ex-perience they’ll never know? Or must they succumb to, or even embrace, darker desires?

A Kafkaesque fable of hope.

Patrick Allington is a writer and editor.

It’s summer behind the Iron Curtain, and six girls begin a journey to the Olympics. But will they return?

Maybe they imagined they were stars, or angels, or insane birds. Sometimes they grabbed each other’s hands and legs and twisted them so harshly that it was a miracle nothing broke. When they all squatted in the water with just their hands above the surface, it was as if they were praying. There was something terrifying about it.

In a stateless place, on the wrong side of a river separating East from West, six girls meet each day to swim. At first, they play, splashing each other and floating languidly on the water’s surface. But as summer draws to an end, the game be-comes something more.

They hone their bodies relentlessly. Their skin shades into bruises. They barter cigarettes stolen from the factory where they work for swimsuits to stretch over their sunburned skin. They tear their legs into splits, flick them back and forth, like herons. They force themselves to stop breathing.

Then, one day, it finally happens: their visas arrive. But can what’s waiting on the other side of the river satisfy their longing for a different kind of life?

The remarkable story of how a consul and his allies helped save thousands of Jews from the Holocaust in one of

the greatest rescue operations of the twentieth century.

Jan Zwartendijk was just a businessman who worked for Philips, a manufacturer of lightbulbs and radios— until he became Dutch consul and concocted a secret plan that would ultimately save as many as 10,000 Jews from the Holocaust. An unsung hero, those he saved knew him only as “Mr. Philips Radio.” This is his story.

In the capital of Lithuania, desperate Jewish refugees faced annihilation in the Holocaust. That was when Zwartendijk— with the help of Chiune Sugihara, the consul for Japan— chose to break his country’s diplomatic rules. Together, the two officials opened a route to freedom. Zwartendijk issued thousands of visas to the Dutch colony of Curaçao on the other side of the world, and Sugihara ensured a clear path, allowing refugees to travel on the Trans- Siberian Express all through Soviet Russia to Vladivostok, further to Japan, and onwards to China.

Many of these Jewish refugees survived, but Zwartendijk and Sugihara were both shunned by their own countries after the war, their courageous actions left unheralded.

In The Just, renowned author Jan Brokken wrests this story from oblivion and traces the journeys of a number of the rescued Jews. This epic narrative shows how, even in life- threatening circumstances, some people make the right choice at the right time.

Jan Brokken is a writer of fiction, travel, and literary nonfiction. He gained inter-national fame with The Rainbird, The Blind Passengers, Baltic Souls, and others. His books have been translated into ten languages.

A leading sleep scientist on how to have the best nap you’ve ever had.

Saved by the Siesta explains how siestas work and the remarkable role they can play in overcoming the destructive effects on the brain and the body of a shortage of sleep— for a siesta is like a night’s sleep in miniature.

A daytime nap fulfills all the same functions as a night’s sleep— hormonal, purifying, curative, consolidating, and reinvigorating. It also has the same thera-peutic values: it helps us to combat sleepiness, pain, depression, weak immunity, stress, hypertension, excess weight, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

But to take advantage of all this we need to be aware of the siesta’s subtleties: its various types; the correct body position to adopt; the times that are conducive to sleeping; the most effective duration; the stages of sleep that heighten aware-ness, cognitive performance, memory, and creativity; and how to get to sleep quickly and wake up without feeling sleepy.

Saved by the Siesta provides all this information, and more. It is a lucid and ac-cessible synthesis of the science of sleep, as well as a practical guide to the taking of naps to overcome disturbed nighttime sleep.

Brice Faraut is a neuroscientist specializing in the effects of restricting sleep, leading to new discoveries in the effects of sleep deprivation and people’s capacity to recover from it. He is the author of numerous scientific publications.

Eric Rosencrantz is a freelance translator.

A revelatory, explosive new analysis of the British military today— and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. A must- read

for anyone interested in these wars.

“A must- read for every serious student of modern military history.” — Sir Sherard Cowper- Coles, former British ambassador to Afghanistan

Over the first two decades of the twenty- first century, the British Army fought two campaigns, in Iraq and Afghanistan, at enormous financial and consider-able human cost. Neither of those wars achieved their objectives. The Changing of the Guard examines how the British Army faced the challenges of twenty- first- century warfare. Necessarily, the book spends much of its time in Iraq and Afghanistan, interrogating many of the decisions, strategies, and initiatives under taken in those two asymmetrical conflicts. But its canvas is wider, from grim barracks in Germany to vast prairie training areas in Canada, to reflections of the army in popular culture, stage, and film. It is as much a book about Britain, and about the politics of failure, as it is about the military.

Composed of assiduous documentary research, field reportage, and hundreds of frank interviews with many soldiers and officers who served, the politicians who directed them, the allies who accompanied them, and the family members who loved and— on occasion— lost them, The Changing of the Guard offers a strikingly rich, nuanced portrait of the British armed forces.

Simon Akam held a commission in the British Army before attending Oxford University. He has worked for The New York Times, Reuters, and Newsweek, and his writing has appeared in The Economist, GQ , Bloomberg Businessweek, Outside, The Washington Post, the Financial Times, Paris Review, and the New Republic.

A daring, frontline account of China’s tyrannical treatment of Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang— where three million people are

incarcerated in the largest surveillance state the world has ever seen.

When the Chinese government took massive action against Uighur and Kazakh minorities, Sayragul Sauytbay’s husband and children managed to leave for Kazakhstan, but she was denied an exit visa. She was interrogated, arrested, and forced to work as an instructor in one of the over 1,200 re- education camps— modern day gulags now estimated to systematically incarcerate three million people.

The conditions at the camp were horrific: brainwashing, torture, drugs, and rape. Sauytbay was put to work teaching Chinese language, culture, and politics from morning to night, in the course of which she gained access to highly secret information that revealed Beijing’s long- term plans to undermine and subjugate not only its minorities, but democracies around the world.

In 2018, Sauytbay managed to escape to Europe, where she and her family were granted asylum. Although Beijing is trying to get Sauytbay back and she is still threatened by the Chinese secret service, she sees it as her task to bear wit-ness to China’s crimes against humanity. And she wants to warn the world about Beijing’s plans to seek the subjugation of the free world in the long term.

Sayragul Sauytbay was awarded the International Women of Courage Award by the US State Department in 2020. Her key witness accounts have already cre-ated a stir on the world stage and have been reported by The New York Times, The Washington Post, and others.

Extra! Extra! A covert, government engineered, mind- control disease infects the District of Columbia! Read all about it in Washington White!

“Griffiths has fearlessly tackled the Big Stuff— sex, politics, gender, race— through circuitous and speculative science fiction. Needless to say, Griffiths’s work is complicated and dense and us comics readers are better off for it.” — Comics Journal

In the District of Columbia, the President authorizes covert testing of a mind- control disease, a transgender drummer fights to rejoin her punk band, and a greedy developer is gentrifying the universe within the disease. Meanwhile, the black owner of a local tabloid, Washington White, threatens to expose the corruption— because his evil, white tycoon dad is the one behind it.

Adam Griffiths’s Washington White, winner of the Chicago Alternative Comics Expo’s Cupcake Award, is also the true story of Griffiths’s grandmother, Peggy Griffiths, a lawyer for the US Civil Service Commission’s Appeals Review Board, best known for winning a landmark bias lawsuit against the federal gov-ernment in 1977 for wrongful denial of promotion. The representation of insti-tutionalized racism experienced by his grandmother is, to Adam Griffiths, the most important part of this work.

All of Griffiths’s work focuses on social structures, class and imperialism— and the extremely topical Washington White is no exception. He has worked on Washington White for nine years, and has exhibited at the Flashpoint Gallery, the Fridge, Hillyer Art Space, International Studio and Curatorial Program (ISCP), Pleasant Plains Workshop, Rhizome DC, School 33 and Washington Project for the Arts (WPA). Griffiths is an artist and activist, with a conscience and an agenda, on the rise.

“You are faced with the reality of quitting or doubling down. Guess which one this is.” —Zak Sally, Recidivist

A man searches for his lost teeth to complete his masterwork. Another embraces ghosts in an act of vengeance. Children escape from a ruined house to find a reve lation. A wanderer leaves everything behind and discovers the infinite. The stories in Recidivist IV concern the life of an artist, and the art of making a life, moving through the despair of obscurity to the integrity and freedom within it.

Since leaving the legendary band, Low, Zak Sally is better known for his comic, Sammy the Mouse (Uncivilized Books), and his story collection, Like a Dog (Fantagraphics). These don’t compare to his two- time Eisner Award nomi-nated series, Recidivist. Recidivist IV, a Best American Comics Notable Comic, is his masterpiece.

Part resignation letter, part manifesto, Recidivist IV is a medium- defying ex-perience. Printed in a six- color, metallic process, some text and figures are only visible in light, some only in shadow. As CBR writes, this “a comic that forces you to engage with it but rewards you with its tightrope act, as the reading expe-rience and the content cohere into a breathtaking whole.”

In addition to his renown as an artist and musician, Zak Sally operates La Mano 21 press, publishing artists including John Porcellino. He has curated ex-hibitions, served as United States liaison to the Pierre Feuille Ciseaux, formed an experimental art school (Schoolhaus) and founded the AUTOPTIC festival in Minneapolis. He currently teaches at MCAD. Zak Sally’s reach is expansive and he will tour North America in support of Recidivist IV.

“Each one of these nine stories has the capacity to seduce and terrify you like any

of the most heavyweight horror authors out there.” — Andrew Liptak, io9

Previously published as North American Lake Monsters, Monsterland is a new an-thology TV series from Hulu based on Nathan Ballingrud’s striking, bleak, and luminous debut collection, starring Kaitlyn Dever, Kelly Marie Tran, Jonathan Tucker, and Taylor Schilling.

Ballingrud’s Shirley Jackson Award- winning collection of gothic and un-canny stories investigates the loneliest and darkest corners of contemporary American life. Ballingrud’s stories are love stories. They’re also monster stories. Sometimes the monsters collected here are vampires or werewolves. Sometimes they wear the faces of parents, lovers, brothers, ex- wives— or the faces we see in the mirror. The people in these stories are ex- cons, single parents, unemployed laborers, and kids seduced by extremism— stranded by life and driven to desper-ate acts by love and a longing for connection. Sometimes they’re ruined; some-times redeemed. They are always recognizably, wonderfully, are terrifyingly human, even at their most monstrous.

Women, Magic, Wisdom: Explore a Japanese myth through the words

and images of key scholars and artists.

Alluring, nurturing, dangerous, and vulnerable the yamamba, or Japanese moun-tain witch, has intrigued audiences for centuries. What is it about the fusion of mountains with the solitary old woman that produces such an enigmatic figure? And why does she still call to us in this modern, scientific era? This unique collec-tion represents the creative and surprising ways artists and scholars from North America and Japan have encountered the yamamba.

Rebecca Copeland is a professor of Japanese literature at Washington University.

Linda C. Ehrlich is an independent scholar who has published extensively about world cinema and traditional theater.

A breathtaking and gut- wrenchingly real graphic memoir of the struggles of an adolescent girl processing the trauma

of childhood sexual assault.

An immigrant at the age of six, she arrived in a strange new world. Karina was labeled “different” immediately, and a desire to be invisible was born. The “differ-ent” label expanded to “weird” and “freak”, terms that she fervently embraced. By taking society’s critique, owning it, and taking pride in it, she gained power over it. In a life overshadowed by fear, Karina wanted control. If something was going to ruin her life it would be her and her alone.

Karina Shor is an illustrator, a cartoonist, and a teaching artist. Karina has illus-trated many children’s books under the name Alina Gorban, but this is her debut as an author. She grew up in a small town outside of Tel Aviv, Israel, after she im-migrated from the former Soviet Union. She received her MFA from the School of Visual Arts, and now makes her home in Brooklyn, New York.

Sylvia Plath’s writing reaches across decades to teach one young woman the power of her own feelings in this part memoir, part literary biography.

Like so many thoughtful and soul- searching young women, as a teenage girl Lisa was transfixed by the writing of Sylvia Plath. In different times, in different places, and in different ways, each of them struggled because of how they presented themselves to the world. As the author explored her sexuality and discovered her identity as an LGBTQ woman, she found inspiration and solace in the poetry and prose of this famous writer.

Lisa Rosalie Eisenberg is a cartoonist and teaching artist. She is a regular con-tributor to the comics publication The Nib, and her work has appeared in the comics anthologies The Strumpet, Papercutter, and Digestate. She grew up in New Jersey, received her BA from Wesleyan University, and now makes her home in Portland, Oregon. This is her debut as an author.

Humorous and reflective letters on cultivating a literal and metaphorical garden.

One Good Thing is a charming collision of memoir with the living, exuberant, and vulnerable natural world. Written in sixty short epistolary chapters, M.A.C. Farrant’s latest offering represents a search for hope and appeasement in a rapidly changing and often perplexing society. One Good Thing is also an homage to gar-dening columnist extraordinaire Helen Chesnut of Victoria’s Times Colonist, each section of the book focusing and expanding on one of her gardening columns.

Using a familiar “Dear Helen” structure, almost every piece in One Good Thing intimately and playfully relates to the gardening article that gave rise to it while simultaneously ranging into myriad other topics, including the author’s creative practice, personal and familial details, and comic riffs on a number of close- to- the- heart themes. With a mindful persistence that’s often hi larious, the book strives to find personal “calm abidance” through the practice of gardening as mediated by the universal and personal practice of writing.

M.A.C. Farrant is the author of seventeen works of fiction, nonfiction, and memoir, two plays, and over one hundred book reviews and essays. A trilogy of her “miniature fictions”— The World Afloat, The Days, and The Great Happiness— was published by Talonbooks between 2014 and 2019 and has won a number of literary prizes, including the City of Victoria Book Butler Book Prize. BC Bookworld called Farrant “Canada’s most acerbic and intelligent humourist” and the Ottawa Citizen dubbed her “one of the best humourists in the land.”

The extraordinary story of a marriage between an Indian monarch and an English chambermaid, whose son became an Australian famer.

On 15 May 1870, a Muslim wedding ceremony took place in one of London’s most prestigious hotels. The groom was Nawab Nizam, the much feted Nawab of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa, whose Indian kingdom was three times the size of Britain. The bride was Sarah Vennell, a seventeen- year- old English hotel chambermaid.

The Nawab had been received by Queen Victoria to petition the British Government for a repayment of the money and restitution of rights that had been forfeited to the Empire. When his petition failed, the Nawab was forced by the British to abdicate, and his titles were permanently abolished. A generation later, the Nawab’s son Prince Nusrat Ali Mirza, changed his name to Norman Alan Mostyn, and travelled third class to Australia in search of a better life.

Weaving in scandals, broken marriages and political machinations to en-thralling effect, The Last King of Bengal is the extraordinary portrait of a royal family’s fall from power. Great- granddaughter of the Nawab, Lyn Innes writes with great insight as she exposes the complex prejudices regarding class, race, re-ligion and gender at the heart of recent British and Indian history.

Lyn Innes was born in Australia and moved to North America in 1963. She has a PhD from Cornell University and taught at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, where she worked with the eminent Nigerian novelist Chinua Achebe, becoming associate editor for the journal he founded, OKIKE: An African Journal of New Writing. She is currently Emeritus Professor of Postcolonial Literatures at the University of Kent, Canterbury.

An old van in the scrub, a phantom- caller, and a long- forgotten murder. A lonely cop and an inquisitive kid must make the connection . . .

Praise for The Night Whistler:

“Troubling undercurrents swirl in a seductively involving story of small- town secrets and obsessions.” — Garry Disher, author of Peace

“A haunting, tense and unforgettable debut.” — Christian White, author of The Nowhere Child

Australia, 1966.Hal and his little brother have just come to live in small- town Moorabool.

They’re exploring the creek near their new home when they find the body of a dog. Meanwhile, Constable Mick Goodenough, recently demoted from his big- city job as a detective, is also new in town— and one of his dogs has gone missing . . . just like a lot of other pets around town.

Soon, Hal’s mother starts receiving late- night phone calls— a man whistling, then hanging up. Goodenough, alone among the Moorabool cops, takes her seri-ously. But will that be enough to keep Hal’s mother and her young sons safe?

Greg Woodland’s wildly impressive debut populates the rural Australia of the 1960s with memorable characters and unbearable tension. A nostalgic look back at a time gone by, and simmering with menace, The Night Whistler is a thrilling, propulsive addition to the Outback Noir genre.

Greg Woodland is an author, screenwriter, and director. He works as a freelance script editor and consultant for film funding bodies and the Australian Writers’ Guild. The Night Whistler is his first novel.

Married to a ruthless bully, powerless in society and trapped in the brutal colony of 1780s Sydney— Grenville gives voice

to a woman silenced by history in this “secret memoir.”

Praise for A Room Made of Leaves:

“Kate Grenville is a literary alchemist, turning the leaden shadow of the his-torical Elizabeth Macarthur into a luminescent, golden woman for our times.” — Clare Wright, author of You Daughters of Freedom

What if Elizabeth Macarthur— wife of the notorious John Macarthur, wool baron in the earliest days of Sydney— had written a secret memoir? And what if novel-ist Kate Grenville had found and published it? That’s the starting point for A Room Made of Leaves, a dance of possibilities between the real and the invented.

Marriage to a ruthless bully, the impulses of her heart, the search for power in a society that gave women none: this Elizabeth Macarthur manages her com-plicated life with spirit and passion, cunning and sly wit. Her memoir lets us hear what one of those seemingly demure women from history might really have thought.

Kate Grenville’s return to the territory of The Secret River is historical fiction turned inside out, a stunning sleight of hand by one of Australia’s most original and celebrated writers.

Kate Grenville’s international bestseller The Secret River was awarded local and overseas prizes and is a much- loved classic. Her other novels include Sarah Thornhill, The Lieutenant, Dark Places, and the Orange Prize winner, The Idea of Perfection. In 2017, Grenville was awarded the Australia Council Award for Lifetime Achievement in Literature.

Former lieutenant Joshua Grayling seeks a high- seas reckoning with an enemy. His daughter deems his quest outrageous, and so must join him.

Praise for The Burning Island:

“The Burning Island is a ripping yarn of a book; sometimes while reading I’d be sunk so deep in its adventures, and in the precision of captured moments, that if interrupted I’d rise to the surface blinking, reluctant, and surprised.” — Lucy Treloar, author of Wolfe Island

Eliza Grayling has lived in the brand- new colony of Sydney all her thirty- two years. Now considered too tall, too stern, and too old for marriage, she spends her days caring for her reclusive father.

A former lieutenant, Joshua Grayling is a drunk, poisoned by regret, and lost in the shadows of a dark past.

When Joshua is offered the possibility of a reckoning with an old foe, he jumps at the chance. Eliza is horrified: a sea voyage is unthinkable for her drunkard father who also happens to be completely blind. But Joshua won’t be dissuaded. Eliza boards the Moonbird alongside her father for an unforgettable journey of vengeance and revelation. Before long, Joshua’s mission becomes Eliza’s too.

With its irresistible prose, unforgettable characters, and epic storytelling, The Burning Island is Jock Serong’s most moving, compelling novel yet.

Jock Serong is the author of several novels, including The Rules of Backyard Cricket, which was a finalist for the 2017 MWA Edgar Awards for Best Paperback Original, and for the 2017 INDIES Adult Mystery Book of the Year. On the Java Ridge was shortlisted for the 2018 Indie Awards and won the inaugural Staunch Book Prize [UK].

A radical, metafictional musical wherein a queer black writer confronts the impossibility of fully understanding the self.

Winner of the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for Drama

“To watch this show is to enter, by some urgent, bawdy magic, an ecstatic and in-finitely more colorful version of the famous surreal lithograph by M. C. Escher: the hand that lifts from the page, becoming almost real, then draws another hand, which returns the favor.” — New Yorker

Usher is a black, queer writer, working a day job he hates while writing his original musical: a piece about a black, queer writer, working a day job he hates while writing his original musical. Michael R. Jackson’s blistering, momentous new musical follows a young artist at war with a host of demons— not least of which, the punishing thoughts in his own head— in an attempt to capture and understand his own strange loop.

Michael R. Jackson holds a BFA and MFA in Playwriting and Musical Theatre Writing from the NYU Tisch School of the Arts. As a songwriter, he has seen his work performed everywhere from Joe’s Pub to the National Alliance for Musical Theatre. He wrote the book, music, and lyrics for the musical White Girl in Danger. He is an alum of the Johnny Mercer Writers Colony, the Ars Nova Uncharted Writers Group, and was a Sundance Theater Institute Composer Fellow. He has received a 2019 Whiting Award, a 2017 Jonathan Larson Grant, a 2017 Lincoln Center Emerging Artist Award, a 2017 ASCAP Foundation Harold Adamson Award, a 2016/2017 Dramatist Guild fellowship, and was the 2017 Williamstown Theatre Festival Playwright- in- Residence.

A searing new comedy from the Pulitzer Prize- winning playwright of August: Osage County.

Finalist for the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Drama

“With his new play The Minutes, a simmering satire of a small- town city coun-cil meeting that evolves— or devolves— into something of a horror tale, Pulitzer- winning playwright Tracy Letts has written what is nearly certain to be the single work of art that best represents, but will also survive, the Trump era.” — Variety

“Letts is a keen observer of the way the past oozes into the present and future.” — Chicago Sun- Times

Beneath the deadpan back- and- forth of a seemingly typical city council board meeting lies the whiff of something distinctly sinister in Tracy Letts’s new play The Minutes. Known for his keen ability to illustrate the faults and cracks under humanity’s surface, Letts delivers an acutely thrilling new work that pulls you in with laughter before grabbing you by the throat.

Tracy Letts was awarded the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and Tony Award for Best Play for August: Osage County, which premiered at Steppenwolf Theatre in 2007 and later played on Broadway, at London’s National Theatre, and at theatres around the United States and internationally. In 2013, August: Osage County be-came a feature film starring Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts. Other writing cred-its include Mary Page Marlowe, Man from Nebraska, Killer Joe, Bug, and Superior Donuts. He has been an ensemble member at Steppenwolf Theatre Company since 2002. As an actor, he was awarded a 2013 Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play for his performance in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?. His screen acting credits include a starring role on Homeland.

A collection of sharp, innovative plays by the Pulitzer Prize- winning playwright of Fairview.

“[A] stylishly contemplative new play . . . it asks provocative questions about the value of what is seen in pictures that freeze fleeting moments for posterity.” — New York Times on Really

“90 minutes of original, enlightening, pulse- pounding theater. . . . It’s absolutely thrilling.” — Backstage on We Are Proud to Present . . .

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for her play Fairview, Jackie Sibblies Drury has established herself as a bold and formally innovative writer whose work up-ends expectations of what theater can be and should do. Her layered, complex plays deftly explore the ways in which the white gaze works to reduce and margin-alize Black lives. This new collection gathers together three of her plays: Really, Social Creatures, and We Are Proud to Present a Presentation About the Herero of Namibia, Formerly Known as Southwest Africa, From the German Sudwestafrika, Between the Years 1884–1915. In these works, comedy and tragedy hover side by side as the personal meets the political and the past meets the present. Each work is a reckoning, both with the looming spectre of history, but also with the perfor-mative and fractured self.

A twenty- fifth anniversary edition of August Wilson’s seminal speech calling for the funding and support of

Black theatres and theatermakers in America.

“What we do now becomes history by which our grandchildren will judge us.” August Wilson’s words, delivered in a speech at Theatre Communications Group’s conference in June 1996, remain as vital and relevant today as they did 25 years ago.

Fierce and passionate, The Ground on Which I Stand is Wilson’s eloquent, per-sonal call for African American artists to seize the power over their own cultural identity and to establish permanent institutions that celebrate and preserve the singular achievements of African American dramatic art and reaffirm its equal importance in contemporary American culture. It is an urgent appeal for an over-haul to the established system in order to provide equitable access and influence throughout the field.

Delivered as the keynote address at TCG’s conference, this speech refocused the agenda of the entire convening and spurred months of debate about cultural diversity in the American theatre, culminating in a standing- room- only public debate at New York City’s Town Hall. This 25th anniversary edition celebrates Wilson’s legacy and acts as an essential reminder of the work that still needs to be done.

August Wilson was the most iconic African American playwright of the late- twentieth century, most known for the Century Cycle, a series of ten plays set in the Hill District of Pittsburgh. Of these, Fences earned him a Pulitzer Prize and a Tony Award in 1987, and another Pulitzer Prize in 1990, for The Piano Lesson. In 1996, Seven Guitars premiered on the Broadway stage, followed by King Hedley II in 2001 and Gem of the Ocean in 2004.

An electrifying, incisive portrait of women living on the margins of society from a Pulitzer Prize- winning playwright.

“A vibrant and expansive comic drama. . . . Guirgis makes sure that every person onstage is filled with the contradictions that are part and parcel of being human.” — New York Times

“The funniest, saddest play of the year, with at least a dozen characters who go straight to your heart. . . . A female Iceman Cometh for this century.” — The Wrap

Stephen Adly Guirgis brings his prodigious gifts for exploring the lives of social outcasts to new heights in this play about the inner workings of a women’s half-way house in New York City. In a shelter on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, the unmoored residents struggle with addiction, abuse, mental illness, and ne-glect. Between daily therapy sessions, they clash with the staff and each other, form alliances, and fall in love. All the while, they live under constant threat that the place they call home may soon be shuttered at the behest of their wealthy neighbors. By turns harrowing, humorous, and heartbreaking, Halfway Bitches Go Straight to Heaven roaringly brings to life the experiences of women who soci-ety has tried to shuffle out of sight and out of mind.

Stephen Adly Guirgis is a member and former co- artistic director of LAByrinth Theater Company. His play Between Riverside and Crazy was awarded the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Other plays include The Motherfucker with the Hat, Our Lady of 121st Street, and Jesus Hopped the A Train. He co- created Netflix’s The Get Down with Baz Luhrmann.

A resourceful guide for new and emerging directors that explores the fundamental elements for navigating the stage.

In this new guide, two veteran theater directors steer away from providing a how- to recipe for staging a production and instead share the advice and tools that emerging directors need in order to nourish their skills and develop their own staging process. As Bob Moss, founder of notable New York theater Playwrights Horizons, notes in the introduction: “One doesn’t learn directing from a book. One acquires experience.” But by focusing on five crucial elements for staging a play— Story, Intention, Character, Space, and Theme— Moss, in collaboration with Wendy Dann, helps novice directors learn how to build their own practice and begin to master the daunting task of telling a story on stage.

Bob Moss is an American director and the founder of Playwrights Horizons. He helped develop Theater Row on West 42nd Street and has been the Artistic Director at both the Hangar Theatre and Syracuse Stage. He has been a Board Member of the SDC Foundation, TCG, and the Drama League Directors Project. Moss has extensive directing credits around the country, and his teaching credits include initiating the undergraduate directing program at Playwrights Horizons Theatre School and The Lab Company at the Hangar.

Wendy Dann is the coauthor of the one- man musical, Sammy & Me with Eric Jordan Young. Her play, The Strangest Thing was a finalist at the National Playwrights Conference. Dann served as associate artistic director under Kevin Moriarty at the Hangar Theatre for seven seasons, and her regional directing work also includes Dallas Theatre Center, Alliance Theatre, Geva Theatre, and Syracuse Stage.

For sixty years, Nashville’s three integration- era bombings have remained unsolved— until now.

Sixty years ago, someone tried to assassinate Tennessee’s most prominent Civil Rights attorney, Z. Alexander Looby by blowing up his house. Public histo-rian Betsy Phillips assumed this would be like so many other racially- motivated crimes of that era— officially unsolved. But when Phillips went looking for the police files on the Looby bombing, she discovered all police files from before 1963, were thrown away decades ago. She also requested the FBI’s files only to be told the FBI had destroyed their files on the case.

What? Destroyed files? Wait a minute.Z. Alexander Looby was a Nashville city councilman. Someone tried to as-

sassinate a sitting US politician and the FBI not only left that crime unsolved, they destroyed their files? What’s going on here? Suddenly, Phillips wasn’t just investigating racist violence in Nashville in the late 1950s, she was investigat-ing the investigation itself. What she uncovered was a vast network of violent racists who used Nashville as their training ground before launching a series of deadly attacks throughout the South, and the troubling reason the FBI failed to stop them.

Betsy Phillips has written for the Nashville Scene and the Washington Post. Her fiction has appeared in the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction and Apex Magazine, among others. She was named 2019 Best Historian in the Best of Nashville edition of the Nashville Scene and serves on the board of Historic Nashville, Inc. She lives in Whites Creek, Tennessee.

Award- winning journalist Jonathan P. Thompson delves into the spectacular land, rich history, and twisted politics of a remote Utah county.

“Thompson’s investigative chops are impressive.” — Sierra Magazine

San Juan County, Utah, contains some of the most spectacular landscapes in the world, rich in culture and history. But it’s also long been plagued with racism, bitter ness, and politics as twisted as its iconic slot canyons. In April 2017, outdoor- loving Coloradoans Mark Franklin and Rose Chilcoat went camping in the Valley of the Gods. On the way in, Franklin closed the gate on a corral they passed. Two weeks later, the semi- retired graphic designer and environmental activist were facing felony charges. Award- winning journalist Jonathan P. Thompson explores what the case can tell us about this corner of the western United States, which for five decades has been at the center of the America’s public land wars.

Jonathan P. Thompson has been an environmental journalist focusing on the American West since signing on as reporter and photographer at the Silverton Standard & the Miner newspaper in 1996. He has worked and written for High Country News for over a decade. Thompson holds a BA in Philosophy and Mathematics from St. Johns College in Santa Fe, was a Ted Scripps Fellow at the Center for Environmental Journalism at University of Colorado, Boulder, and has worked as an artisan baker, bike mechanic, janitor, and seed- germination technician. He splits his time between Colorado and Bulgaria.

When the pandemic struck, David Gessner turned to Thoreau, the original social distancer, for lessons on how to live. Those lessons— of re- wilding, loving nature, self- reliance, and civil disobedience— hold a secret that could help us face the cli-mate crisis.

David Gessner is the author of Leave it As it Is: A Journey Through Theodore Roosevelt ’s American Wilderness and All the Wild That Remains.

Alienation, belonging, and a woman’s 1,000-mile journey across the Andes to visit her dying uncle in Argentina.

“Alejandra Costamagna’s characters embody that semblance of truth that pro-vokes that famous and pleasant confusion; the genuine miracle of literature.” — Alejandro Zambra

Ania receives a request from her father: to visit her dying uncle Agustín in Argentina. In order to fulfill her father’s wish, she will undertake a 1,000- mile journey across the Andes from her home in Chile, a journey that will also be an escape from the present and a visit to the borders of memory. Ania’s story unfolds alongside encyclopedia entries, etiquette guides, dictations from a typing class, half- faded photos, and letters between continents. An ambitious portrait emerges of alienation and belonging, and of two families and coun-tries separated by a range of mountains. The Touch System introduces Alejandra Costamagna as one of the most powerful and subtle writers in contemporary Latin American literature.

Alejandra Costamagna was born in Santiago, Chile, in 1970. She is the author of four novels, four collections of short stories, and an anthology of newspaper columns. Her work has been translated into four languages. This is her first novel be translated into English.

Lisa Dillman translates from Spanish and Catalan and teaches in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at Emory University. Her recent translations include Such Small Hands by Andrés Barba and Signs Preceding the End of the World by Yuri Herrera. She lives in Decatur, GA.

Undelivered Lectures5 x 7 | 136 pp

A sensitive, stunning debut on movement, migration, and memory, in the vein of Valeria Luiselli’s Sidewalks.

In her prize- winning debut, Mexican essayist Mariana Oliver trains her gaze on migration in its many forms, moving between real cities and other more in-accessible territories: language, memory, pain, desire, and the body. With an abiding curiosity and poetic ease, Oliver leads us through the underground city of Cappadocia, explores the vicissitudes of a Berlin marked by historical frac-ture, recalls a shocking childhood exodus, and recreates the intimacy of the spaces we inhabit. Blending criticism, reportage, and a travel writing all her own, Oliver presents a brilliant collection of essays that asks us what it means to leave the familiar behind and make the unfamiliar our own.

Migratory Birds is part of Transit’s Undelivered Lectures, a narrative non-fiction series featuring book- length essays in slim, handsome editions.

We should adopt words across languages into our everyday vernacular. Pronounce them as confidently as we do those of our childhood, mark them with our accents, vocal modulations, and necessary pauses. Speak them as though they were ours, find a con-text for them in which their meanings explode.

Mariana Oliver was born in Mexico City in 1986. She received her master’s in comparative literature from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) and is the recipient of a Fundacíon de Letras Mexicanas grant for essay writing. In 2016, she was awarded the José Vasconcelos National Essay Prize for Migratory Birds.

Award- winning poet and Episcopal priest Spencer Reece pairs his watercolors with quotes from a range of

inspiring voices for all spirits and seasons.

“Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.” — Anne Frank

For centuries, the illuminated medieval manuscripts known as Books of Hours were used to guide contemplation and prayer. Devotional poet, priest, and National Book Award nominee Spencer Reece has revived the tradition with a collection of vibrant watercolors inspired by his life journeys and his reflections on faith. His brushstrokes guide us from the bustling restaurants of Madrid, to the expansive seas of Morocco, to the coastal tranquillity of Connecticut. Each painting is artfully paired with quotes from acclaimed poets and writers, and other inspirational figures, among them James Baldwin, Emily Dickinson, Elizabeth Bishop, Thomas Merton, Katharine Hepburn, Toni Morrison, Janis Joplin, and many more. The perfect gift for Easter, Mother’s Day, and other occa-sions, All the Beauty Still Left is a commonplace book offering readers of all faiths memorable texts and images for contemplation and reflection.

Spencer Reece’s debut poetry collection, The Clerk’s Tale, received the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference Bakeless Poetry Prize and was adapted into a short film by James Franco; his second collection, The Road to Emmaus, was longlisted for the National Book Award and shortlisted for the Griffin Poetry Prize. He is the recipient of a Pushcart Prize, a Whiting Award for poetry, a Guggenheim Fellowship, a National Endowment for the Arts Poetry Fellowship, and a Witter Bynner Prize administered by the Library of Congress. He lives in Jackson Heights, New York, and is the Priest in Charge at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church.

Margo Tamez unites her father’s story and Indigenous history in this stunning poetic documentation of violence on the American border.

On the night before he “walked on,” Margo Tamez’s father recorded two ques-tions onto a cassette tape: “Where did all the good men go? Where did they go?” Two decades later, Tamez reconstructs her father’s struggle to “be a man” under American domination, tracing the settler erasure, denial, and genocide that he and preceding generations experienced. She reclaims stolen territory in the felt and known history of colonial Texas through Ndé Dene [Lipan Apache] place, memory, and poetics of resistance.

“I was raised up in American violence,” Tamez writes, “and I have to explore all of its possibilities . . .” Her poetry brings out those possibilities by “timebend-ing,” with a poetic form Tamez calls “Indigenous fusionism-Indigenous futur-ism,” a union of pastpresent, body knowing, intertext, bent tradition, landguage, and familial blood- knowing. Father | Genocide reveals why impunity on the Texas border is the key to understanding American identity violence. Her lightning poetry strikes the nested seeds and unburies the truth of “these bitter lands.”

From “Push”:

broken words broken family broken clan broken memorybroken history broken land broken spirit broken heart.

Where does science meet poetry? Where does the street become the canyon in the window? Katharine Coles explores the links between

the poetry, people, and places she loves.

“Katharine Coles creates an arresting simultaneity between the past and present, a woman’s need for freedom and belonging, adventure and love.” — Alison Hawthorne Deming

Part memoir, part meditation on poetry, part conversation with her husband, friends, and the many animals that live with and around her, Katharine Coles’s The Stranger I Become probes the permeable boundary between inner life and outer, thought and action, science and experience.

Coles begins her lyric essays with a meditation on “the urge to move beyond, to understand myself as a stranger, estranged.” The essays travel, always on foot, from Coles’s home, with its indoor and outdoor birds, into the canyon her home overlooks, itself populated with creatures ranging from voles to owls, moose, bob-cats, and coyotes. From there, always looking, always walking, often in company, they move into her own neighborhood and through other cities, domestic and foreign, which, alongside the poems that inhabit her, make up what Lance Olsen calls “a poetics of the vivid.”

Katharine Coles is the author of two novels, seven collections of poems, and the memoir Look Both Ways. The recipient of grants from the NEA, the NEH, and the Guggenheim Foundation, she has served as Poet Laureate of Utah and was inaugural director of the Poetry Foundation’s Harriet Monroe Poetry Institute. She is a Distinguished Professor of English at the University of Utah.

Journalist Erica Buist travels to seven death festivals around the world— Mexico, Nepal, Sicily, Thailand, Madagascar, Japan, and Indonesia, with a stopover in New Orleans— in search of better attitudes towards death.

After the death of her father- in- law, journalist Erica Buist decided to travel to seven death festivals around the world, in an attempt to understand how different societies deal with grief, and how people are able to move past the knowledge that they’re going to die in order to live happily day- to- day.

In the course of her journey, Erica explores both fundamental and unexpected questions around death anxiety, including:

• How does knowledge of our mortality make us act like jerks?• Do you need to be religious to reduce mortal terror?• Why is this New Orleans voodoo priestess talking to a doll thirty seconds

into our interview?• Why did a man keep his wife’s corpse in the bedroom?• Does death anxiety really make us more racist, and men more amenable to

violence against women?• Is it OK to take a selfie with a skull?• Do older people in California really believe an $8,000 injection of

teenagers’ plasma will re- colour their grey hair?

Erica Buist is a freelance journalist. She writes mostly for the Guardian but her words have also been featured in The Times, the Mirror, the Debrief, and on BBC Radio. @ericabuist

A beautifully illustrated new edition of the definitive masterpiece of medieval alliterative poetry.

It is New Year at Camelot and a mysterious green knight appears at King Arthur’s court. Challenging the knights of the Round Table to a Christmas game, he offers his splendid axe as a prize to whoever is brave enough to behead him with just one strike. The condition is that his challenger must seek him out in a year and a day to have the deed returned. Sir Gawain accepts and decapitates the stranger, only to see him pick up his head, walk out of the hall and ride away on his horse. Now Gawain must complete his part of the bargain, search for his foe, and confront what seems his doom . . .

Beautifully illustrated throughout with the illuminated lettering of the original manuscript and the author’s own linocut prints, Michael Smith’s trans-lation of this classic Arthurian romance draws on his intimate knowledge of the North West of England and medieval history, culture, and architecture. Smith takes readers back to the original poetic form of the manuscript and brings it alive for a contemporary audience, while revealing the poem’s historic and literary context. This is an exciting new edition that will appeal both to students of the Gawain- poet and the general reader alike.

Michael Smith is from Cheshire. He studied history at the University of York and printmaking at the Curwen Print Study Centre near Cambridge. This is his first book. @mythicalbritain

You fell in love with Pasta Grannies during the pandemic— now a cookbook of recipes and stories from wise and witty

grandmothers across the globe.

Grand Dishes is not a book about being old, it’s a book about what it’s like to have lived. It’s a cookbook that preserves, an interaction between generations, a shar-ing of stories most powerfully told through the recipes that have seasoned these grandmothers’ lives.

Grand Dishes is inspired by the authors’ own grandmothers: Iska’s is German and Anastasia’s is Greek. Both are equally strong and stoic. Their love is shared through the food they serve. Iska and Anastasia believe that there’s no food quite like the time- perfected dish of a grandmother.

Rich with stories and elegant portraiture, Grand Dishes contains diverse recipes from over forty of these inspiring women. Each recipe is easily recreated at home and there’s room for your own grandmother’s dish and story at the back of the book.

This is not just a compendium of dishes; it’s a selection of stories and tech-niques that are completely unique to a region, a grandmother, and her family.

Anastasia Miari is a freelance writer whose work spans fashion magazine edi-torials, copy for brands, and travel features for a range of publications from the Telegraph to easyJet Traveller magazine. @Anastasia_Miari

From an acclaimed architecture and design critic, a journey through the most iconic houses in English literature.

“A lively tour of fictional property.” — The Times, Books of the Year

We encounter Jane Austen drinking “too much wine” in the lavish ballroom of a Hampshire manor, discover how Virginia Woolf ’s love of Talland House at St. Ives is palpable in To the Lighthouse, and find Evelyn Waugh remembering Madresfield Court as he plots Charles Ryder’s return to Brideshead.

From the gothic fantasies of Walpole’s Otranto to postmodern takes on the country house by Kazuo Ishiguro and Ian McEwan, DWELL writer Phyllis Richardson guides us on a tour through buildings real and imagined to examine how authors’ personal experiences helped to shape the homes that have become icons of English literature.

Drawing on historical sources, biographies, letters, diaries, and the novels themselves, House of Fiction opens the doors to these celebrated houses while offering candid— even gossipy— glimpses of the writers who brought them to life. A Times Book of the Year.

Phyllis Richardson has written several books on architecture and design, in-cluding the highly successful XS series, Nano House, and Superlight. She has written on architecture, urban development, and travel for the Financial Times, the Observer, and DWELL magazine. She is currently the coordinator of the Foundation Year in English and Comparative Literature at Goldsmiths, University of London.

One of England’s best- kept secrets, a writer’s writer debuts in the United States.

“A rigorously researched, lyrical tour de force.” — Guardian

If you tell a story oft enoughSo it become true

As the nineteenth century draws towards a close, Mary Ann Sate, an elderly maidservant, sets out to write her truth. She writes of the Valleys that she loves, of the poisonous rivalry between her employer’s two sons and of a terrible choice which tore her world apart. Her haunting and poignant story brings to life a period of strife and rapid social change, and evokes the struggles of those who lived in poverty and have been forgotten by history.

In this Folio Prize- shortlisted novel, Alice Jolly uses the wholly original voice of Mary Ann to recreate history as seen from a woman’s perspective and to give joyful, poetic voice to the silenced women of the past. For fans of Elizabeth Strout and Alice Sebold.

Alice Jolly is a novelist and playwright. Her memoir Dead Babies and Seaside Towns won the 2016 PEN Ackerley Prize. She is the author of three previous novels, What the Eye Doesn’t See, If Only You Knew, and Between the Regions of Kindness. She has written for the Guardian, Mail on Sunday, and the Independent, and she has broadcast for the BBC. She lives in the Cotswolds. @JollyAlice

We love Alice Jolly, the writer’s writer, so much that we’re debuting two books in one season.

“So beautifully written that you can’t stop reading.” — Woman and Home

This award- winning memoir is a savagely personal yet undeniably hopeful story of stillbirth, surrogacy and finding solace in seaside towns.

When Alice Jolly’s second child was stillborn and all subsequent attempts to have another baby failed, she began to consider every possible option, no matter how unorthodox.

Shot through with humor and full of hope, Dead Babies and Seaside Towns is an intensely personal account of the search for an alternative way to create a family. As she battles through miscarriage, IVF, and failed adoption attempts, Alice finds comfort in the faded charm of Britain’s crumbling seaside towns. The journey ultimately leads her and her husband to a small town in Minnesota, and to two remarkable women who offer to make the impossible possible.

Described with a novelist’s skill, Jolly’s decision not to hide but to share her story without a trace of self- pity turns Dead Babies and Seaside Towns into a uni-versal story: one that begins in tragedy but ends in joy.

Alice Jolly is a novelist and playwright. She won the V. S. Pritchett Memorial Prize awarded by the Royal Society of Literature in 2014 for one of her short sto-ries, “Ray the Rottweiler.” Her third novel, Mary Ann Sate, Imbecile, was short-listed for the Rathbones Folio Prize and longlisted for the RSL Ondaatje Prize in 2019. She has written for the Guardian, Mail on Sunday, and the Independent, and she has broadcast for the BBC. @JollyAlice

A new collection from one of the most provocative and entertaining prose stylists of our time, author of

the now legendary Peter Knows What Dick Likes.

“Richly entertaining, invigorating and provoking.” — Literary Review

Thirty years ago, Jonathan Meades published a hefty collection of reportorial journalism, essays, criticism, squibs, and fictions called Peter Knows What Dick Likes. It quickly acquired cult status. The critic James Wood was moved to write: “When journalism is like this, journalism and literature become one.”

This new collection is every bit as rich and every bit as catholic. Hence its title: Pedro and Ricky Come Again. Thirty years older, so no longer boys, but no wiser, and still impervious to good taste and good manners.

From the inexcusability of nationalism and the ubiquitous abuse of the word “iconic,” to John Lennon’s shopping lists and the wine they call Black Tower, the work assembled here demonstrates Meades’s unparalleled range and erudition, with pieces on cities, artists, sex, England, concrete, politics, and much, much more.

Jonathan Meades is a writer, journalist, essayist, and filmmaker. He is the au-thor of Filthy English, Peter Knows What Dick Likes, The Fowler Family Business, Museum Without Walls, and Pompey. In 2014, he published the first volume of his autobiography, An Encyclopaedia of Myself. His many films for the BBC in-clude Abroad in Britain, Meades Eats, Meades on France, The Joy of Essex, Bunkers, Brutalism and Bloodymindedness, and most recently Franco Building.

A sweeping historical epic following one boy’s long journey from rags to riches, by the award- winning journalist and travel editor of Vanity Fair.

“A wonderfully lush and atmospheric odyssey of survival against all odds” — Bernardine Evaristo, author of Girl, Woman, Other

Song is just a boy when he sets out from Lishui village in China. Brimming with courage and ambition, he leaves behind his family, hoping he’ll make his for-tune and return home. Chasing tales of sugarcane, rubber, and gold, Song em-barks upon a perilous voyage across the oceans to the British colony of Guiana, but once there he discovers riches are not so easy to come by and he is forced into labouring as an indentured plantation worker.

This is only the beginning of Song’s remarkable life, but as he finds himself between places and between peoples, and increasingly aware that the circum-stances of birth carry more weight than accomplishments or good deeds, Song fears he may live as an outsider forever.

This beautifully written and evocative story spans nearly half a century and half the globe, and though it is set in another century, Song’s story of emigration and the quest for an opportunity to improve his life is timeless.

Michelle Jana Chan is an award-winning journalist and travel editor of Vanity Fair in the UK, where she presents the magazine’s digital Future Series.

From an occasional bookseller at Point Reyes Books— a beautifully illustrated novel rooted in fantasy

and folklore, set in a postapocalyptic California.

“Exquisite . . . Angela Carter goes feral with Ursula K. Le Guin.” — Jay Griffiths

Poppy, who speaks the languages of wild things, travels east to the mountains with the wheeled and elephantine beast Lyoobov. He’s seeking answers to the mysteries of his birth, and the origins of the fallen world in which he lives.

Up in the glacial peaks, among a strange, mountainous people, a Juniper Tree takes Poppy deep into her roots and shows him the true stories of the people who made his world, people he thought were only myths. Their tales span centuries, from three hundred years in the future all the way back to our present day.

Tatterdemalion is a stunning collaboration between writer Sylvia V. Linsteadt and artist Rima Staines, featuring the fourteen original paintings that inspired the narrative.

Sylvia V. Linsteadt is a writer and artist who occasionally works as a bookseller at Point Reyes Books. Her collection of stories, The Gray Fox Epistles, won the James D. Phelan Literary Award from the San Francisco Foundation in 2014. Her other books include The Wild Folk, The Wild Folk Rising, and Our Lady of the Dark Country. From 2013 to 2016, she ran a stories- in- the- mail business called Wild Talewort, in which she sent folktales rooted in the landscapes of California to the post- boxes of hundreds of subscribers around the world. @WildTalewort

Nin Szubur is no one. Why does everything depend on her?

I Nina is a graphic novel adaptation of Nobel Prize Laureate Olga Tokarczuk’s book Anna in the Tombs of the World, based on the ancient Sumerian myth of Goddess Innana’s journey into the Underworld. Daniel Chmielewski deftly transports the narrative into a postapocalyptic near- future dystopia where hu-manity survives in a hermetically sealed multi- level world. Nina— a nobody— navigates the multi- caste world based on intricate social currency system to find her missing lover. Her investigation threatens to upset the delicate balance of the society. A parable about the importance of the most insignificant among us. Daniel’s “must be seen to be believed” art was awarded the Polish Comics Society Prize for Best Artist. Evoking classic works of Enki Bilal and Moebius, I Nina, is one of the most inventive science- fiction graphic novels in recent memory.

Daniel Chmielewski is cartoonist, and children’s book author, was awarded the Polish Comics Society Prize for Best Artist for I Nina. He lives in Warsaw.

Olga Tokarczuk is one of Poland’s most celebrated writers, winner of many awards, and translated into more than thirty languages. In 2019 she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Antonia Lloyd- Jones is a full- time translator of Polish literature. She translated Tokarczuk’s Primeval and Other Stories among many others. She won the Found in Translation Award 2008.

Multilayered, plaintive, and provocative, the poems in A Thousand Times You Lose Your Treasure are alive with archive, inhabit histories, and commune with past and future ghosts.

An experiment and experience in language, surveying the junction of violence, entertainment, race, and folklore.

“[Kearney] is at the other end of the century, using a multicultural voice inflected with the concerns of what it means to be a young black man at this time and at this place.” — Los Angeles Times

Navigating the complex penetrability of language, the poems in Douglas Kearney’s Sho are sonic in their espousal of Black vernacular traditions, while examining histories, pop culture, myth, and folklore. Both dazzling and dev-astating, Sho is a genius work of literary precision, wordplay, farce, and critical irony. In his “stove- like imagination,” Kearney has concocted poems that de-stabilize the spectacle, leaving looky- loos with an important uncertainty about the intersection between violence and entertainment.

Better go no no no.O so hole and hole so maw, what maw gives body, what that body sing.O cordon!O cuff!O camera lens!How being placed take you.And I was saying about myself that this is— O— such a country!Hunting, country’s all: more! more!

Douglas Kearney has published six collections, including Buck Studies (Fence Books, 2016), winner of the Theodore Roethke Memorial Poetry Award, the CLMP Firecracker Award for Poetry, and the California Book Award silver medal (Poetry). He has received a Whiting Writer’s Award, a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Cy Twombly Award for Poetry, residencies and fellowships from Cave Canem, The Rauschenberg Foundation, and others. Kearney teaches Creative Writing at the University of Minnesota–Twin Cities and lives in St. Paul.

Hoarders is an exploration into personal and cultural attachments, inspired by the reality television show.

“Instead of using [these stories] to make us feel better about ourselves for not being hoarders, [Durbin] indicts aspects of American culture we all participate in— religion, capitalism— and reveals our complicity.” — Rich Smith, The Stranger

In Hoarders, Kate Durbin deftly traces the associations between hoarding and the collective traumas of American consumerism and environmental devasta-tion. Using reality television as a medium, wherein each poem is a portrait of a person and the objects they hoard, Durbin explores an uncanny space of attach-ments and ultimately embraces with sympathy the difficulty and complexity of the human condition.

I want to be a spectacle— Muhammad Ali was a spectacle, Jesuswas blue and yellow butterflies ascending in a glass wall

I want to become a collectible John Wayne mannequin withworry lines wearing a Las Vegas t- shirt

I’ll be pickled, so I don’t spoil Ronnie, an old man, wearingsmudgy glasses and an American flag t- shirt

Kate Durbin is a Los Angeles- based writer and artist. Her books of poetry in-clude E! Entertainment, The Ravenous Audience, and ABRA, which won the 2017 international Turn On Literature Prize. Durbin was the Arts Queensland Poet- in- Residence in Brisbane, Australia in 2015. Her art and writing have been fea-tured in The New York Times, Art in America, Art Forum, The Believer, BOMB, poets.org, The American Poetry Review, and elsewhere.

A resplendent collection that reshapes the landscape of the imagination.

“For years now, Nutter has been quietly writing some of the most beautiful poems in America.” — John Ebersole, Kenyon Review

With exquisite detail and humble sensibilities, Geoffrey Nutter’s sixth col-lection of poetry offers myriad delights in language and the imagination. In cityscapes, nature, books, and color, we find respite in the complexities of the commonplace— from clocks to teardrops to moths. The poems in Giant Moth Perishes teach us how to live in the world with curious attention. And at the heart of this daydreaming is a spectacular earnestness, firmly embedded in the idea that the landscape of poetry is limitless and wild.

Will you then lay spent on the coolmushroom bed when you are down againby the mill- track and the fernery?Will you contemplate the stupid grapefruit,the tedious eggplant, the intellectual thorn?And will you wake up fresh and confusedin a place you have been borne to for asylumlike a chick just hatched from a fire- colored egg?

The fourth book in Wave’s Bagley Wright Lecture Series presents the poetic investigations and musings of poet Cedar Sigo.

Retracing the ways in which he first encountered the realm of poetry, Sigo plumbs the particulars of modern critique, identity politics, early influences, and poetic form to produce a singular ‘autobiography of voice.’ Simultaneously timeless and extremely timely, the lectures in Guard the Mysteries ponder the presences that California Buddhism, LGBTQ+ experiences, and Native Nations occupy in the poetic world and the world at large.

When I find myself slipping into writing poetry, a certain tonality seems present and beckoning as a portal, a handful of dead silver tinsel is tacked above the rusted door-frame, waving in a slight wind. The stray isolation chamber would be another apt de-scription, but it can start in such a hurry, dependent on reaching toward scraps of paper when dead ink pens and broken pencils surround you, scribbling frantically on the backs of bills, or speaking jumbled notes into your nearly dead phone, hoping that later on these notes will trigger a certain manner of address that might carry you through to the end of a new piece.

Cedar Sigo was raised on the Suquamish Reservation in the Pacific Northwest and studied at The Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at the Naropa Institute. He is the author of eight books and pamphlets of poetry, including Royals and Language Arts (Wave Books). He is currently a mentor in the low- residency MFA program at The Institute of American Indian Arts and lives in Lofall, Washington.

A master of the prose poem, that hybrid form born at the

crossroads of story and poem, a place where sacred meets profane.

“Alexander is nothing short of a master of the prose poem. Without a need for grandiosity or excess, he takes his reader on a journey through the pages of his life, offering everyday insights and epiphanies as casually as one might offer tea to a guest. I am so happy he is here now, writing for all of us, in these dark times.” — Nin Andrews

“It makes sense that Alexander chose the word “Writing” over “Prose Poetry” because many of the prose poems here often seem like autobiographical nature studies that someone like John McPhee might have written if he was in a height-ened poetic mood.” — Peter Johnson, author of Old Man Howling at the Moon

Robert Alexander is the author of three collections of poetry and two books of literary history. He divides his time between southern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Tran Le Khan is a deeply devoted Buddhist who has found a way to

offer true expression of the Dharma in short, powerful poems.

It is not difficult to be swept up into the finely focused beauty, and the way each short poem offers a different lesson for our contemplation. The powerful and imaginative diction of the poems combined with their dramatic contexts forces the reader to enter their own contemplation of those things we carry deep inside of who we are. Tran Le Khanh’s poems seem to come more and more alive as you read and reread them. A rare thing in poetry.

Tran Le Khanh, a contemporary Vietnamese poet, has brought fresh air to Vietnamese poetry.

The richly imagined fables, vignettes, and prose poems of Flares reveal the elementary strangeness of this world.

“Merrill is one of the most gifted, audacious, and accomplished poets of an ex-traordinary rich generation. His range of sympathy, subject, and tone has always been prodigious.” — W. S. Merwin

The richly imagined fables, vignettes, and prose poems of Flares reveal the ele-mentary strangeness of this world. Here is the improvised travel record of a poet haunted by history, who documents what he discovers in foreign lands with an exacting and hallucinatory eye. Composed in transit, on diplomatic missions to scores of countries, Flares will endure in the reader’s imagination as a series of signals in the night, illuminating the hidden corners of our time here on earth.

Christopher Merrill has published six collections of poetry, many edited vol-umes and translations, and six books of nonfiction. He is the director of the International Writing Program at the University of Iowa.

wondrous relations between world and imagination, body and mind.

“Gail Wronsky is an astonishing poet whose work I’ve turned to for more than twenty- five years to find the most deeply compassionate, artistically complex and intellectually astute poetry being written in this country. She is a literary re visionist of the most exquisite order, reconstructing the poetic canon, chal-lenging the historical conventions of poetry and striking urgent, lyric chords of female empowerment. Wronsky is a poet of lasting beauty and relentless inven-tion. With this book she takes her rightful place among the most celebrated of American poets.” — David St. John

“A master of the lyric, a visionary never far from the complicated, wondrous re-lations between world and imagination, body and mind.” — Gillian Conoley

A deep dive into the practice of exploring our experience as it happens.

Uncontrived Mindfulness is a fresh and comprehensive look at how we can use mindfulness to look at the mind and how it works. The Buddha emphasized that happiness is found through understanding the mind rather than getting caught up in what we experience through the senses. This simple yet radical shift from our usual focus is key to a relaxed and natural— uncontrived— way of observing the creations of our minds. The emphasis throughout is on cultivating wisdom, using the tools of attention and curiosity to recognize and see through the delu-sion that is causing our suffering.

Vajradevi is a warm and insightful guide to this exploration, drawing on her intensive and wide- ranging practice of Satipatthana meditation. The clear expla-nations and instructions are amplified by Vajradevi’s personal accounts, charting her uncompromising voyage into self- discovery.

An introduction to gender studies in Buddhism and the history of women in the tradition.

Is there gender equality in Buddhist traditions? What do Buddhist texts say about women? How have Buddhist women responded to misogyny?

Alice Collett is well placed to review both recent scholarship and original writing by and about women in Buddhism. She shows that core Buddhist doc-trines provide no justification for the notion that women are inferior to men. However, Buddhism was born and took root in societies that held traditional views of women, and social norms positioning women as inferior to men have found their way into Buddhist tradition.

This book tells the stories of many inspiring Buddhist women who overcame attempted constraint to gain liberation and become esteemed teachers. Not only do we hear about them in this book, but we also hear from them in their own words. An ideal introduction to gender studies in Buddhism and the history of women in the tradition.

A recovering heroin addict returns to Hong Kong’s last shanty town

and tries to salvage what’s left of a place he hoped to forget.

“A hugely impressive first novel.” — David Nicholls, bestselling author of One Day and Us

It is 1987 and three years since Britain agreed to hand over its last colony, Hong Kong, to China in 1997. Upheaval is already happening in Diamond Hill. Buddha, a recovering heroin addict, finds the shabby neighborhood being bulldozed to make room for gleaming towers. As powerless residents are displaced, Buddhist nuns, drug gangs, property developers, and the government struggle for control.

Kit Fan, an award- winning poet and novelist, was born and educated in Hong Kong. He now lives in the UK where he won a Northern Writers’ Award for his debut novel Diamond Hill.

From 2013 to 2017, Linda Boström Knausgård was periodically interned in a psy-chiatric ward where she was subjected to electroconvulsive therapy. As the treat-ments progressed, the writer’s memories began to disappear. In October Child the author relives moments from her childhood, marriage, and divorce, resulting in a raw testimony chronicling her desperate attempt to hold on to her past.

Linda Boström Knausgård is a Swedish author and poet. Her first two novels, The Helios Disaster, and Welcome to America were published in English translation by World Editions to critical acclaim.

“If our analogue understanding of photography is ‘drawing with light,’ our digital notion should be ‘drawing with

pixels.’” —Mirjam Kooiman

All the images in this work derive from wallpapers and screenshots taken by dif-ferent users while playing Grand Theft Auto V— a videogame set in Los Santos, an “open world” scenario that closely resembles Los Angeles and its surround-ings. Thus, the city of the Studios, of Hollywood and film industry, becomes it-self a staged set and a virtual replica, a duplicate of its original. This work explores whether is it possible to photograph a virtual place, what it means to do so, and the question of authorship.

You Are Eternity, You Are the Mirror is an exploration of beauty as an antidote to personal and political crisis. In times of heartache, disaster, and impasse, many turn to beauty found in the natural world for solace and refuge. Pairing these im-ages with the writings of Kahlil Gibran underscores the significance and multi-plicity of the notion of beauty in our lives.

“My grandfather’s work spanned eternity. My work is a pilgrimage to an origin story that reaches beyond traceable

generations.” —Sarah Wilson

Before he died, Wilson’s grandfather gave her boxes of faded Kodachromes— his teaching slides from when he was a Paleontology professor at UT. Holding them up to the light, Wilson realized that she and her grandfather photographed some of the same desert landscapes, from the same vantage points, fifty years apart. This shared connection ignited a long- term project and a pilgrimage to an origin story that reaches beyond traceable generations. But her work is not just an homage to her grandfather. She has created conceptual self- portraits in the style of geology and anatomy charts, combining the personal and the scientific.

Looking at HRT as a process without a fixed end goal, Puberty challenges viewers to consider identity beyond binaries.

Front Towards Enemy is a deconstructed photobook showcasing the distinctly different ways award- winning photographer Louie Palu documented the war in Afghanistan over five years. Palu’s images extend beyond one specific conflict to make a statement about the chaos of war and the ways media influences our perception of armed conflicts.

Arrangements of old objects in dilapidated spaces serve as metaphors for human emotions and psychological states. The term “psychometry” refers to the pseudo- science of “object reading,” a purported psychic ability to divine the history of objects through physical contact. The objects in these pictures seem haunted. They are designed to transcend their material nature and evoke the mysterious presence of past.

The poet confronts a wired, technological world, often in the mirror, in these

inventive, daring and subversive poems.

A successor to Korean feminist poets like Kim Hyesoon, Yi Won writes about the perilousness of maintaining one’s human identity in a high- tech, digital envi-ronment. In this debut book in English, her poems range from avant- garde prose poems to more lyrical, if dark, free verse, as she examines isolation, death, and the passage of time— and in so doing, upends polite society and Korean literary culture.

From “For the Mirror”:

The things that drift have a valley hidden inside. There is darkness inside darkness, cloud inside cloud, sand inside sand, seed inside seed, void inside void, mirror inside mirror, face inside face.

Andra Schwarz’s probing, unpunctuated poems take us into her native Lusatia, a region in Eastern Germany near the Polish and Czech borders that has under-gone drastic changes from coal mining, politics, and demographic shifts. Her work addresses loss, nature, displacement, marginalization, and memory from personal and collective perspectives. In the forests and hillsides, she explores her roots in exquisite language, even as she mourns that “no one comes back this way.”
