Hardback. Etat : Very Good. It's 1939 and Easy and Mouse are young men just setting out in life--Easy has yet to develop his skill for unraveling the secrets of others, and Mouse has yet to kill his first man. But all that will soon change. In the beginning there was Ezekiel Easy Rawlins and Raymond Mouse Alexander, two young me…n setting out in life, hitting the road in a borrowed '36 Ford headed for Pariah, Texas. The volatile Mouse wants to retrieve money from his stepfather so he can marry his Etta Mae. But on their steamy bayou excursion, Mouse will choose murder as a way out, while Easy's past liaison with Etta Mae floats precariously in his memory. Easy and Mouse are coming of age and everything they ever knew about friendship and about themselves is coming apart at the seams. As Mosley takes Easy and Mouse on this journey to manhood, he weaves together a remarkable cast of friends and foes, who are introduced here for the first time and will later appear in Easy Rawlins mysteries. This is the chance to unravel the mystery behind the souls of every character.

Paperback. Etat : New. 31st Annual Lambda Literary Award Finalist (Lesbian Poetry)In her debut short collection, poet Kristin Chang bursts onto the page and into our consciousness like a dazzling, dizzying uproar: " I suck / until my teeth riot / with rot and I have nothing / left in my mouth to keep / quiet." Quiet Chang' s spe…akers are not. In these nineteen poems, the body is personal and communal, hunter and hunted: " My mother says / women who sleep with women / are redundant: the body symmetrical / to its crime. Between your knees / I mistake need for belief / in a father figure: once, we renamed / our fathers by burning them / out of our bodies, smoking the sky / into meat." Past Lives, Future Bodies is a knife-sharp and nimble examination of migration, motherhood, and the malignant legacies of racism. In this collection, family forms both a unit of survival and a framework for history, agency, and recovery. Chang undertakes a visceral exploration of the historical and unfolding paths of lineage and what it means to haunt body and country. These poems traverse not only the circularity of trauma but the promise of regeneration-what grows from violence and hatches from healing-as Chang embodies each of her ghosts and invites the specter to speak. PRAISE Kristin Chang wields the line break like a sword cutting through dimensions of reality and language. Each break offers another surprise gut-punch or gutting grace on the other side as these fiercely sharp poems turn and turn, Chang never faltering to rise to the occasion of these blood-filled verses. Chang, quite simply, can write her ass off. I read these poems and I feel like I' m discovering poetry all over again. Chang makes a spell rise from every wound, and I' m caught all the way up in this magic. Kristin Chang is one of the best emerging writers out there, and this chapbook is one step into a career we will all be transformed by. PAST LIVES, FUTURE BODIES couldn' t be a better way to be introduced to your new favorite poet. It' s Kristin' s world, thank God we' re reading in it. -Danez Smith, author of DON' T CALL US DEAD, Kristin Chang' s PAST LIVES, FUTURE BODIES is full of mouths swallowing food, language, home, memory, and bodily desires to finally arrive at explosive demonstrations of what happens when the unspeakable is uttered and shouted. Each poem shows the process of turning a painful reflection on history, sexuality, race, family, and nation into a prismatic object of beauty. We are lucky to witness Chang' s use of silence as a productive narrative frame. -Emily Jungmin Yoon, author of A CRUELTY SPECIAL TO OUR SPECIES,In PAST LIVES, FUTURE BODIES, Kristin Chang' s knotty examination into the complexities of intergenerational relationships, we come to understand the fraught nature of both the known and the unknown.

Paperback. Etat : New. Winner of the Fall 2020 Black River Chapbook Competition Dominant Genes, the new hybrid collection from Stonewall Honor author and Lambda Literary Award finalist SJ Sindu, is equal parts power and astonishing beauty, tenderness and shimmering anger, poetry and lyric essays interwoven in a gorgeous explorat…ion of family, heritage, and the construction of nonbinary and queer identities. " We learn our anger through osmosis," Sindu writes of the inherited rage of South Asian women, " or maybe it' s in the breast milk, spreading through our veins long before we learn how to look only at the floor and walk without showing our ankles." There is hope in this collection, and the lead weight of expectation, and warm moments of empathy too. Thematically linked and stylistically nimble, Sindu' s pieces play with the fragmentary nature of memory and identity, her speakers traversing with intelligence and compassion the complexities of mental health, love, and pressurized relationships with the people closest to us- those who love us intensely, even when they understand us the least.

Paperback. Etat : New. Inspired by Virgie Townsend' s own experiences growing up in an independent fundamental Baptist church, the seven stories in Because We Were Christian Girls examine religious and gender oppression through an unforgettable cast of Christian fundamentalist girls. In the titular story, Townsend writes, " All…Christian girls know what happens when they disobey, even if it' s by accident. We end up pregnant, kicked out of our churches, and used as examples in sermons about what happens to disobedient Christian girls. Eventually we go to hell, where we fall for eternity in a dark, fiery pit, bound in rough chains that tear and burn our flesh, deprived of any human contact except for listening to the eternal screams of other Christian girls who are also bound, falling, and should have listened to their elders.".

Paperback. Etat : New. Notes on the End of the World is a quiet apocalypse. You won't find explosions or sudden extinctions in Privitello's poems. Here, the days are marked instead by quiet disappearances, abandoned objects, details that might be otherwise overlooked. Objects double as warning signs: "The asbestos siding is a ho…logram in the leftover sun. / At once, it is a dollhouse made of bones." Animals speak in prophetic visionsThese poems hold a microscope to life's mundane details, but they are also poems of agency- when the apocalypse comes, what use is a "good life?" Privitello asks us to be honest, unflinching. With each passing day, Notes on the End of the World gets louder and quieter, lonelier and lovelier. The end of the world does not look so different from an ordinary day, so pay attention. In the end, Privitello's poems leave room for regret and the hope of redemption- but not much.

Paperback. Etat : New. In a text that doubles back on itself, revising and reinventing its own trajectory several times over, The Muddy Season is an excavation into narrative form and political oppression. Set in the steaming jungle of a colonial dystopia somewhere in the developing world, The Muddy Season depicts the struggle o…f an indigenous village to maintain its freedom and dignity in the face of the repressive policies of a racialized bureaucratic state. The villagers alternately press back and stand by as armed forces arrive to impose their tyrannical will: removing newborn babies from their mothers for indoctrination in the capital. Against the backdrop of poverty and overt political conflict, Matthew Raymond presents us with the complex inner struggle of the government agent tasked with overseeing the removal of the infants. As he carries out his duty on behalf of the state, the agent finds himself caught between bureaucratic obligation and his own burgeoning desires. At once enthralling and unflinching, brutal and impassioned, The Muddy Season is a sophisticated, narratively complex story that is as alluring as it is dark." Pulling her blue and wet from her mother and saying quietly, Life is suffering, the midwife smacked her" -and, thus, the reader finds herself thrust into the damp murk of afterbirth and the muddy season: into an absolutely captivating story that is as unflinching as it is bewitching. Told in four parts, The Muddy Season is a sophisticated, scorching story whose narrative choreography unfurls in an electrifying dance between soldiers and villagers, a girl and an agent. With a literary nod to the great innovative novelists Julio Cortá zar and John Fowles, Raymond upends conventional fiction, while maintaining the brutal realism of the world' s bureaucracies and oppressions. Analogous to the two central characters in section IV, in which one character leads and the other trails " into the dark of the jungle beyond" when this author beckons, I too must follow.-Simone Muench, author of Wolf Centos, Trace, and Orange CrushMatthew Raymond' s The Muddy Season is a beguiling and prismatic gem of short fiction, yet bursting with a novel' s share of action, drama, pathos, and idea. In it, Raymond has precision-extracted the best of Cormac McCarthy and Graham Greene and injected the resulting mixture into a universe out of Kafka. Painterly, structurally inventive and darkly moving.-Adrian Van Young, author of Shadows in Summerland and The Man Who Noticed Everything.

Paperback. Etat : New. A young Au Pair living in Germany reads Goethe' s famous tragedy, The Sorrows of Young Werther, for the first time. Years later, she crafts an answer as she considers the storm of early love in her own life, the drudgery of work, and even Goethe' s later response to his own text. In this exquisite cycle of… prose poems, Jenny Drai' s language twists around corners and bends at odd angles, delivering a voice at once deft and aching, sharp and hungry: " passion-trigger-passion. someone, somewhere, worships in a grotto at a shrine to suicide. the pain of. the remittance of. love." The New Sorrow Is Less Than the Old Sorrow navigates the sturm und drang of early love, loss, and distance, and the timeless perplexity of heartbreak.

Paperback. Etat : New. Jane Morton' s debut chapbook Snake Lore explores the intimacy and violence born of a particular place, weaving a broken narrative fraught with the tangled dynamics of individuals and their environment. This collection is steeped in dirt and framed within the politics of disgust concerning sexuality and th…e gendered body in the often-fantastical world of the American South. Morton uses formal play to hold contradictions together- a contrapuntal poem to tell two versions of a story, or a string of sonnets, which queer the form from poem to poem, invoking both familiarity and mutation. In these poems, spiritual and religious concerns- the beauty and the harm that they potentiate- converge and haunt.

In thirteen slick, innovative, and gut-wrenching flashes, the young women and girls in Breaking Points, the debut chapbook from Chelsea Stickle, hit the walls around them- walls constructed by family, friends, significant others, and insidious cultural perils. " Stranger danger doesn' t disappear when you…start wearing a push-up bra," notes one of Stickle' s pre-teen narrators when confronted by a leering threat that will forever sever her path from that of her best friend. In " How to Make Stock with Thanksgiving Leftovers," a queer young woman takes us through a wry recipe for boiling turkey stock and raging against small-minded relatives and the traumas they inflict.

Paperback. Etat : New. Winner of the 2018 CHAUTAUQUA JANUS PRIZE, celebrating an emerging writer' s single work of short fiction or nonfiction for daring formal and aesthetic innovations that upset and reorder literary conventions, historical narratives and readers' imaginations. Growing up in poverty in the American south, Maya… yearns to escape and find something better than anything she' s known. " She is so hungry. It is not food, but everything else, the world . What she needs is not on her street with the one-eyed houses. It is not in the patch of trees she once thought was a forest. It is beyond, somewhere she can' t quite imagine." Brought to vivid and visceral life through Nicole Cuffy' s aching, lyrical prose, Maya' s childhood fascination with anatomy and her adult pursuit of a career in medicine leads her to discover what it means to lose-and what it means to break free. At times raw and at others melodic and tender, Atlas of the Body is a deeply resonant meditation on hunger and the costs of realizing a dream.

Paperback. Etat : New. In Reddy' s south Louisiana, gods, saints, and sibyls walk among us. Set against the approach and aftermath of a hurricane, Acadiana' s swamps and bayous are liminal spaces where the boundaries between this world and the next, between comfort and catastrophe, are porous. In this sometimes lyrical and somet…imes sinister polyvocal collection, the sibyls' oracular voices foretell the approach of the storm and the disaster it leaves in its wake; before her death, the folk-saint Saint Charlene whispers her last invocation to the Lord she can no longer hear; a girl tells the story of being momentarily possessed by the Holy Spirit; and Saint Catherine sits in a lawn chair before a storm, reading the sky for signs: " The sky' s a still and cloudless blue / and tells us nothing. Only certain birds // can guide us. They do not appear." By placing the rituals of Catholic faith alongside ancient practices like augury and divination, these poems ask about the role of ritual and faith in warding off and making sense of disasters, both natural and man-made. The collection closes with the stark, oracular pronouncement of the sibyls, after the storm: " Saved and spared are different / and you will learn that now.".

Paperback. Etat : New. Winner of the Spring 2018 Black River Chapbook Competition In his debut short collection, poet Alan Chazaro takes us from the moonlit Bay Bridge to dark Oakland bars to tire shops to backyards to the fireworks and dirt paths of Mexico City. Chazaro' s speakers battle to find internal truths in a world defi…ned by external opposition. Here, we glide from Frank Ocean to 80s synthpop, from Half Moon Bay to Athens, from Oscar De La Hoya to Wolverine. This is a collection about navigating multiple worlds, about traversing from boyhood into manhood. In poems that crackle with " scorpions in the dark" and " Lauryn Hill' s voodoo" and " fat / Adidas laces and barbershop fades$$ Chazaro explores what it means to curate a sense of self as a millennial first-generation California Chicanx writer. His speakers are driven by a desire to control their identity in a world where they haven' t been able to control much else-as the children of immigrants, as the occupants of ever-shifting spaces, as bodies that belong and don' t belong. Structured like a rap mixtape, each poem on the " track list" is an ode to some vibration of memory, sound, or Chazaro' s native Bay Area landscape. This Is Not a Frank Ocean Cover Album, just as we are not ever actually ourselves-but a collection of fragments from our component influences and cultures, a reflection of the choices we make in search of a more genuine self.
