Mary, Georgia, 1851 'My Momma always told me that, one day, remarkable things would happen to me. No, Mary, I hear her say, voice dripping like treacle, not happen to you; you will do remarkable things. Not now though, trapped and with no room to properly breathe nowhere to look even but the sky above and the earth under my feet pressed flat on the ground from working and walking from dawn until the sun sets low in a stretched wide sky of cerise and crimson. For now, my space to breathe is inside. In that little pocket deep deep within my chest or heart or something the bit they cant touch.' Clover has felt so alone since her mother passed away - there was only ever Mum and Clover and they were a team. That is until Clover discovers a box of old letters, dating back to 1851, where the voice of a young woman will tell Clover about her true heritage and the dark secrets that Mum hid from her.

In Jugoslovenska Kinoteka, Shira Wolfe moves between cinematic poetry, dream sequences and memoir to describe a period of her life spent in Belgrade and traversing the Balkans - from Sarajevo to the Bay of Kotor, from Stara Planina to Mount Avala. Most of all, it is an ode to the Belgrade of her past and the relationships she formed there, constellating around that city and continuously reappearing elsewhere in encounters fuelled by synchronicity. In her world, cities become smells; statues can be read; and the boundaries between art and life, between self and other, are always blurred. Jugoslovenska Kinoteka will be published as a bilingual edition in English and Serbian. Autorid: Shira Wolfe, Marko Mladenovi

“Tamara's life story is fascinating.” -Taika Waititi For readers of Samantha Irby and Jennette McCurdy, a hilarious, moving memoir by Argentine-American comedian Tamara Yajia about growing up between two worlds. From the day she was born, Tamara Yajia entered the world on a wave of absurdity. She was the newest member of a family no one would call normal, from her grandfather the salami obsessed poppers salesman, to her mother, the OnlyFans model. Not only will her family try anything once, like moving to the United States and opening a food stand named Sexy Chicken; they'll try anything multiple times, like moving back to Argentina, then back to the United States, all while Tamara manages to achieve some success as a preteen child actress after a jaw-dropping performance where she strips down to a garter belt in front of a crowd of rabbis. The road doesn't get easier for a twelve-year-old Argentinian Jew trying to make it big in Orange County. The disappointment of giving up her childhood career as a performer makes for a rather tumultuous coming of age. But through grit, hustle, and a series of creative endeavors like joining a girl band, and performing her own one-woman show, Cumming of Age, Tam has made it through, and she's ready to spill some shit-figuratively and literally. Featuring an unlikely combination of comedy and tragedy, generational struggle, and filthy sex jokes, Tamara Yajia's debut memoir is the messy, blazing story of a young Argentine trying to survive while holding on to her confidence, ambition, and sense of humor. For readers of Samantha Irby and Jennette McCurdy, a hilarious, moving memoir by Argentine-American comedian Tamara Yajia about growing up between two worlds. Autorid: Tamara Yajia

For many, riding "bitless"-without a bit in the horse's mouth-can feel like a leap of faith because of a perceived lack of control. But, Kermeen argues, most of the time, the control a rider has over a horse (who is a thousand pounds of muscle and reaction) has more to dowith training and partnership, and less to do with equipment. Kermeen is not lobbying for all horses to be ridden bitless-as she notes in her book, there are bitless bridles that are just as severe as those with bits, and plenty of horses have the mouth shape, understanding, and rider to happily carry a bit. Ultimately, however, she feels the decision as to whether a horse should be wearing a bit or going bitless should be up to the horse. In addition, Kermeen writes, "Learning to ride and train horses bitless has made me a better rider with the bit." To be successful at transitioning a horse from bitted riding to bitless riding, you can't just "trade out the equipment and hope for the best." Over years of working with horses and competing them without abit, Kermeen has developed a series of exercises that she uses for all horses, regardless of their likely sport or activity.

In this book, a physicist losing his eyesight shows birders what they haven’t been seeing all along. Focusing on the underlying tapestry of nature, The Physics of Birds and Birding explores the science behind the colors, sounds, and behaviors of birds, the tools we use to enjoy them, and the deeper principles that make it all possible. Birding has become one of the world’s most popular pastimes for good reason. The vibrant colors, aerial finesse, and vocal talents of birds draw us to nature, stimulate our admiration and pique our curiosity. We cannot help but have questions as we encounter these elegant creatures. How do iridescent feathers seemingly glow? What must a hummingbird do to hover? How does a tiny animal produce all that music? By what means do some birds sense Earth’s magnetic field and use it for navigation? Why is it that peering through a few pieces of glass can make a distant bird seem so close? Such enquiry brings us to the realm of physics.The Physics of Birds and Birding sets out to blaze the best possible trail through this landscape. It steers clear complex technical specialization, while avoiding overused paths that lead to unsatisfying, facile explanations. It is a guide not just to the fascinating science of birds and birding, but to the deeper connections that tie all of nature together. Birders and naturalists from all backgrounds will find much of interest here – both in terms of mysteries they’ve long wondered about, as well as some surprising linkages among what is seemingly unrelated. This unique and remarkable book is an invitation to appreciate what you might not have been seeing all along. Autorid: Michael Hurben

Our Human Shores explores living in the Anthropocene, the ecological disasters life faces, and the barriers and inequality society faces in trying to create a better and livable world.Our Human Shores is an exploration into how language is rooted within the Anthropocene — and how poetry shapes meaning-making, faith in people and institutions, and death through lyricism, experiment, and ecopoetics. Using a phrase from John Keats’ “Bright Star” sonnet, Our Human Shores explores a tautology of thresholds and shores to remake our world, our experience of nature, and our relationship with climate, creation, and humankind’s existential place in a world staring down the apocalypse.Our Human Shores is a speculative work that will guide humanity through extinction.

A lively, sharp and thought-provoking exploration of the enduring stereotype of the dangerous single woman in popular culture. From the obsessive 'bunny boiler' of Fatal Attraction to the tabloid frenzy over Taylor Swifts relationship status, Caroline Young explores how single women have so often been portrayed as unstable, dangerous, or incomplete. Blending cultural criticism with her own personal experience, Young examines how these stereotypes have been shaped by broader social trends, including the antifeminist backlash of the 1980s and the current renaissance of the trad-wife. Through her analysis of books, movies, and TV shows, she reveals how these narratives reflect deeper anxieties about womens independence. Engaging, witty, fun and feminist, Single and Psycho is a timely critique of how society views single women and a celebration of their complexity and resilience. Autorid: Caroline Young

Dear Diaspora is an unapologetic reckoning with history, memory, and grief. Parting the weeds on a small American town, this collection sheds light on the intersections of girlhood and diaspora. The poems introduce us to Suzi: ripping her leg hairs out with duct tape, praying for ecstasy during Sunday mass, dreaming up a language for buried familial trauma and discovering that such a language may not exist. Through a collage of lyric, documentary, and epistolary poems, we follow Suzi as she untangles intergenerational grief and her fathers disappearance while climbing trees to stare at the color green and wishing that she wore Lucy Lius freckles. Winner of the Raz/Shumaker Prairie Schooner Book Prize in Poetry, Dear Diaspora scrutinizes our turning away from the trauma of our past and our complicity in its erasure. Suzi, caught between enjoying a rundown American adolescence and living with the inheritances of war, attempts to unravel her own inherited grief as she explores the multiplicities of identity and selfhood against the backdrop of the Vietnamese diaspora. In its deliberate interweaving of voices, Dear Diaspora explores Suzis journey while bringing to light other incarnations of the refugee experience. Autorid: Susan Nguyen

"A major fabulist, a marvelous magical realist. Ursula K. LeGuin Carol Emshwillers pioneering stories have been praised by and influenced a wide variety writers including Ursula K. Le Guin, Grace Paley, Samuel R. Delany, Harlan Ellison, Karen Joy Fowler, China Miéville, Connie Willis, and numerous others. Moon Songs is the first one-volume selection from Emshwillers entire career, with stories from 1958 to 2012. Another admirer, Kelly Link, wrote the collection's foreword. It is unsurprising that Emshwiller, a winner of the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement, two Nebula Awards, a Philip K. Dick Award, and a Pushcart Prize, is so respected by her fellow writers and avid fans. What is surprising is that her work has not enjoyed more widespread success and notoriety. There are so many who still have not experienced the joy of her engrossingly odd narrators, hyper-original imagery, and unguessable plot twists in stories such as "Moon Songs," "Creature", "Mrs. Jones," "I Live with You and You Dont Know It,"and "The Bird Painter in Time of War." Moon Songs selects a representative sample of stories from every era of Emshwiller's work, providing readers new and old with a guidebook to a unique vision and feminist voice. Wry and ironic, hilarious and heartbreaking, poignant and poetic, these tales stand as testament to the vivid imagination of an original and uncompromising writer.

Today, trust seems harder to find than ever before.It’s hardly surprising we feel that way. Our politics is polarised, our online world is awash with misinformation, and we’ve lost faith in our bedrock institutions. Yet, without trust, we cannot work together to solve the big problems we face. But there is a way back. A way to rediscover trust in our leaders and institutions. A way to tackle the doubt. This insightful collection of essays brings together top thinkers from across the globe in media, science, government, academia and business to examine how and why trust is disappearing, and how we might navigate these confusing times. It explores the origins of our misinformation culture and its impact on democracy. It looks at the moral and ethical foundations our institutions are built on, and shines a light on the media and its role in sorting fact from fiction. Expert minds in business, science and law enforcement explain how to maintain trust and how easily it can be broken, and leaders on the front line of technological development describe the influence of bots, conspiracy theories and generative AI. If we are to address the big issues facing our world, then, as observed by Maria Ressa, we must have trust, because without it we have no sense of shared reality. Alone, we can’t do it. Together, we might. Autorid: Tracey Kirkland, Gavin Fang

A long-awaited, comprehensive collection of renowned poet and performance artist Jayne Cortez’s poetry.Like the jazz rhythms that inspired and punctuated her practice, Jayne Cortez improvised her way through and across disciplines, bridging poetry and performance with music and the visual arts to create a unique body of work. Consciously rupturing the boundaries between art and politics, Cortez’s practice uneasily fits within literary movements of the 20th century, residing everywhere and nowhere between the Black Arts Movement, Surrealism, feminism, and early performance art. As intersectional as it is interdisciplinary, her work is consistently visceral and fearless, acting as a powerful expression of collective rage on behalf of the disenfranchised and dispossessed. In the words of historian Robin D.G. Kelley, “her poetry was never ‘protest’ but a complete revolt, a clarion call for a new way of life.” Autorid: Jayne Cortez, Margaret Busby, Sapphire

"Susan Pitchford examines the ways in which followers of Christ have understood "poverty of spirit," and the traditions that have formed around their attempts to follow Jesus on this radical path. "Blessed are the poor in spirit," Jesus said, "for theirsis the kingdom of heaven." And we smile, nod, and think: "Lovely thought." But if we're paying attention, it's a shocking, almost offensive thought. The grieving, the brokenhearted, the marginalized, the stigmatized-all blessed, all happy? In The Paradoxof Poverty, Susan Pitchford examines the ways in which followers of Christ have understood "poverty of spirit," and the traditions that have formed around their attempts to follow Jesus on this radical path. Over the centuries, those who have heard Jesushave learned the truth of his promise that we will find the greatest happiness, our deepest fulfillment-the kingdom of heaven, in fact, our blessedness and our belovedness-in the things that seem to impoverish our souls. The Paradox of Poverty looks at some of the wisdom traditions that have formed this understanding: the scriptures, the desert mothers and fathers, the Franciscans, Liberation theologians, the 12 Step movement, and more. At both individual and collective levels, these traditions help us understand that varied kinds of poverty can become a "blessing" by bringing us to know our belovedness in God"-- Provided by publisher.
