Fire Is Not a Country
Poems
by Cynthia Dewi Oka
“These poems are intimate worlds of political possibility. Cynthia Dewi Oka is directing these cinematic lifeworlds, but she is also the grip holding us so we can see, she is also the set designer taking everything apart and putting it back together so we know, so we know that this world is not given, it is made. And we can remake it.” —Alexis Pauline Gumbs, author of M Archive: After the End of the World
Plato and Aristophanes
Comedy, Politics, and the Pursuit of a Just Life
by Marina Marren
“A fresh and original reading that brings to light some unnoticed aspects of Plato’s Republic. By exploring the political potentialities of Aristophanic comedy, Marina Marren shows how Plato exploits the comic tradition to destabilize the apparent solidity and straightforwardness of the text.” —Mauro Bonazzi, author of The Sophists
The Philosopher’s Toothache
Embodied Stoicism in Early Modern English Drama
by Donovan Sherman
“. . . an ambitious and often ingenious bid to reopen the boundaries of a long-established field of study.” —Adam Rzepka, contributor to Knowing Shakespeare: Senses, Embodiment and Cognition
From the Jewish Provinces
Selected Stories
by Fradl Shtok
“From the heart-stopping music of a flute played by a handsome stranger balanced on a tightrope, to the scene of village women eating fresh bread after swimming, smelling of water, talking, and feeling ‘bighearted toward the whole world,’ this collection is overflowing with moments, images, and lines that I will not soon forget. I loved reading it.” —Moriel Rothman-Zecher, author of Sadness Is a White Bird: A Novel
