Paperback. Etat : Very Good. As a child, Joanna Manning briefly believed that God was trying to kill her by poisoning her saliva, and her anxieties only escalated from there. In a mix of formal essays and slice-of-life vignettes, Now I Understand You delves into the anxieties underlying everyday life, including the universal fear that we may never truly be understood. With tenderness and humor, Manning examines the ups and downs and absurdities of her own life and shows that, through it all, laughter has been some of the best medicine-second only, perhaps, to CBD.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Poetry. VALEYSPEAK is both exorcism and re-enchantment. It's also a collection of mesmerizing coming-of- age visions that emerge from the world of L.A. daughters, 'Sweet Valley / Ophelias, who haven't quite / drowned.' In this world of cars, swimming pools, porn, pills, and beautiful parents distracted by their own desires, Cait Orcutt unravels secrets of addiction and abandonment that are personal, familial, and cultural. A re-angler of the 'mind's film, ' she unravels and detoxifies the Valley's intoxicating spells as she magically re-makes them.--Mary Szybist Cait Weiss Orcutt's VALEYSPEAK takes place in the suburbs of 1990s Los Angeles, and in the sociopolitical chaos of that time and place: the Rodney King beating, the L.A.riots, the O.J. Simpson trial. VALEYSPEAK follows a family of four in deftly crafted poems that privilege hard truths and take the narrative and formal risks required to reveal them. This collection--part tenderness, part bared teeth--is as much about growing up as it is about breaking down. It is peak and valley. VALEYSPEAK is an electric debut.--Maggie Smith LA, money, and addiction serve as the coordinates within which the 'girls' of these virtuosic poems harrowingly grow up, discovering their genealogical pasts and predilections, and setting a course for their bodies and minds that will, with luck, keep them alive to the richness of their own humanity. I love the feminism of this book and I am in awe of its craft. Cait Weiss Orcutt is a seeker and a seer, and her work is the intensely lyrical performance of a ruthless narrative investigation of self in all its nakedness, permutations, and personae. The poems in VALEYSPEAK are made of incredible muscularity, musicality, humor, intellect, and courage, and to my mind rank among the most horrific personal trauma poems around.--Kathy Fagan. …

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Literary Nonfiction. Essays. Sarah Kasbeer's vivid descriptions of growing up in Illinois recall the coming-of-age memoirs of Mary Karr, but written for the #MeToo era. As an adult living in New York during this clarifying cultural moment, she has no choice but to fully reckon with the aftermath of her own trauma. Artful and entertaining, this debut collection explores sexuality, desire, privilege, shame, and the ways we find to heal. "In A WOMAN, A PLAN, AN OUTLINE OF A MAN one woman picks up the pieces of a typical all-American girlhood: the abusive boyfriends, the sexual assaults, and the pervasive feelings of isolation and shame. I emerged from this collection oddly hopeful about the process of healing, especially if it can bring us a book like this."--Alice Bolin "Kasbeer is a born raconteur whose stories name some of the loneliest parts of growing up female and turn them joyful with insight and levity."--Melissa Febos "This book is a god damn treasure; it is a dagger and an emancipation, a slice and a stitch, as devastating as it is darkly funny."--Mira Ptacin "An astonishing collection not for the faint of heart. Kasbeer speaks the unspoken and dares to be vulnerable in a world of facades."--Chloe Caldwell "A book every woman will relate to and every man should understand."--Tyrese Coleman.…
