The twelve stories in Direct Sunlight, award-winning author Christine Sneed’s latest, are inspired by the memorable strangeness of everyday life. The characters in these topically diverse tales experience events that bring the terms of their day-to-day lives and their relationships into focus in a way hitherto foreign to them.
The characters in the twelve stories in The Archivists are everyday people, but when private losses or the shocks of history set their worlds reeling, they find connection and liberation in surprising, buoyant ways.
The latest collection from award-winning poet Vievee Francis, The Shared World imagines motherhood—with and without children—and the common space between families, lovers, and strangers.
Patricia Smith's unrivaled dexterity with dramatic monologue and poetic form reanimates these countenances, staring back from such yesterdays, and the stories they may have told. This is one of American literature’s finest wordsmiths doing what she does best—unreeling history to find its fierce and formidable lyric.
The Way of the Earth is the fourth collection from award-winning poet Matthew Shenoda. In this, his most personal collection to date, he explores the temporal and fleeting nature of both human life and the earth we inhabit.
In Colonies of Paradise, acclaimed poet and translator Mary Jo Bang introduces the poems of contemporary German novelist, poet, and translator Matthias Göritz.
C. Russell Price's debut collection is a somatic grimoire exploring desire, gender, and sexuality. It asks: What is radical vengeance? Does true survivorship from sexual trauma exist only in fantasy, or is it an attainable reality?
All Roads explores childhood trauma, addiction, and the reckless materialism of mainstream American culture. Set mostly in Chicago, the stories depict the idiosyncratic forms of refuge we take in a culture that demands our self-objectification.
