Paperback. Etat : Good. H.L. Hix's newest poetry book, Chromatic, bears as its epigraph the philosopher Baruch de Spinoza's assertion that desire is the very nature or essence of every single individual. The three sequences of poems in Chromatic test that claim. Each has a borrowed title: Remarks on Color from Ludwig Wittgenstein, Eighteen Maniacs from Duke Ellington, and The Well-Tempered Clavier from J.S. Bach. Exploiting those predecessors, the poems in Chromatic explore the full range of effects caused by human desire, from ecstasy to suffering.

Paperback. Etat : Good. Surrendering Oz is a memoir in essays that charts the emotional awakening of a bookish Bronx girl. From her early job as a proofreader at The Guinness Book of World Records through a series of dominating and liberating friendships and secret connections, the author takes charge of her life as a Texas professor, writer and wise student of her own soul. Reader?s Digest says reading Surrendering Oz ?is like having a conversation with a bracingly honest but fundamentally kind friend. In 15 pitch-perfect essays, she chronicles her hard-earned rejection of the cultural fairytales of womanhood as she comes fully into possession of her life..…

Paperback. Etat : Good. 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 economy 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.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. One Turn Around The Sun is a panorama of poems that attempt to define the twilight during which a person becomes caretaker of parents and begins to grind against that old saying, ?Life is too short. The book also studies the intricacies of being a self, a particular personality shaped by forces seen and unseen, both knowable and not. At times, the various voices might be considered characters that agree and sustain one perspective. In other cases, contending sensibilities imply an underlying argument. This is especially true of the book within the book, which is entitled ?The Hilt? Several questions drive this collection, the most central being how can a person stay sane when so often socio-political circumstances mock all efforts to create a liveable world. This is a book intended to bolster an ongoing engagement with life at a time when running away is a great temptation.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. In a memoir that Lance Olsen calls ?fascinating, horrifying, unfalteringly honest?, award-winning writer Renée D?Aoust draws from her experiences as a modern dancer in New York City during the nineties. Trained at the prestigious Martha Graham Center, D?Aoust intertwines accounts of her own and other dancers? lives with essays on modern dance history. Her luminous prose spotlights this passionate, often brutal world. Scarred, strained, and tough, bearing witness to the discipline demanded by the art form, Body of a Dancer provides a powerful, acidly comic record of what it is to love, and eventually leave, a life centred on dance.…
