How Importing Jobs Impacts the Healthcare Crisis Here and Abroad dr. kate tulenko
foreword by laurie garrett Dramatically recounts the causes and cascading effects of American insourcing of foreign healthcare workers
Insourced
For years, opponents of outsourcing have argued that offshoring American jobs destroys our local industries and gives foreigners the good jobs that would otherwise remain on our shores. Yet, few Americans realize that a parallel dynamic is occurring in the healthcare sectorpreviously one of the most consistent sources of dependable livingwage jobs in the entire nation. Instead of outsourcing high-paying jobs overseasas the manufacturing and service sectors dohospitals and other healthcare companies insource healthcare labor from developing countries. This insourcing has caused tens of thousands of high-paying local jobs in the healthcare sector to effectively vanish from the reach of US citizens, weakened the healthcare systems of developing nations, and constricted the US health professional education system. Tulenko reveals this undisclosed aspect of the current healthcare crisis, and offers ways to create better American health professional education, more high-paying healthcare jobs, and improved health for the poor in the developing world. This compelling book is a must read for all those who work in or care about global health.

New England in the World
Francis J. Bremer has spent his entire career broadening our understanding of Americas colonial founders. Now, in this eminently readable collection of biographies, Bremer brings us a surprisingly varied and dynamic group of characters who continue to guide and influence America today. With its cast of magistrates, women, clergy, merchants, and Native Americans, First Founders underscores the breadth of early American experience and the profound transatlantic roots of our countrys forebears. Bremer succeeds in bringing little-known figures out of the shadows, while allowing us to appreciate better known figures in an entirely new light. This is a truly fascinating look at the Puritans with keenly drawn portraits and the insight that only a lifetime of scholarship can achieve. It should become the standard introduction to the field. Written in the mold of Joseph Elliss Founding Brothers and Gordon Woods Revolutionary Characters, the book will appeal to general readers, students, and scholars alike.

Double Lives, Troubled Times, and the Massachusetts Murder Case That Shook the World susan tejada
In Search of Sacco and Vanzetti
An in-depth reexamination with startling new insights into the controversial case
It was a bold and brutal crimerobbery and murder in broad daylight on the streets of South Braintree, Massachusetts, in 1920. Tried for the crime and convicted, two Italian-born laborers, anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, went to the electric chair in 1927, professing their innocence. Journalist Susan Tejada has spent years investigating the case, sifting through diaries and police reports and interviewing descendants of major figures. She discovers little-known facts about Sacco, Vanzetti, and their supporters, and develops a tantalizing theory about how a doomed insider may have been coerced into helping professional criminals plan the heist. The author takes a panoramic view of the case, allowing the reader to see the personalities as individuals. She also paints a fascinating portrait of a bygone era: Providence gangsters and Boston Brahmins; nighttime raids and midnight bombings; and immigration, unionism, draft dodging, and violent anarchism in the turbulent early years of the twentieth century. In many ways this is as much a cultural history as a true-crime mystery or courtroom drama. Because the case played out against a background of domestic terrorism, in a time that echoes our own, we have a new appreciation of the potential connection between fear and the erosion of civil liberties and miscarriages of justice.

How Evolution Has Shaped the Modern World rob brooks
An evolutionary biologist looks at diverse environmental and social problems to show how the basic evolutionary imperative of survival and adaptation shapes our world

Why are we all getting fatter? Why are we fascinated by pop music and celebrities? Is there any hope of curbing population growth, rampant consumerism, and the environmental devastation they wreak? Evolutionary scientist Rob Brooks argues that the origins of these twenty-first-century problems can be found where the ancient forces of evolution collide with modern culture and economics. Natural selection might be the most important idea anybody ever had, but evolution remains the poor relation of economics and social theory when it comes to understanding human affairs. Drawing on fascinating illustrations from the natural world and from human prehistory and history, Brooks shows how evolution can help us understand our contemporary selves and our radically changing environment. A dazzling tour of the hidden logic behind modern life. Baba Brinkman, creator of The Rap Guide to Evolution This is a startling insight into the relevance of evolutionary biology to our society and cultures. COSMOS Magazine

Granny Ds American Century
doris haddock and dennis michael burke
The life of Doris Haddock, known to millions as Granny D, from her young adulthood in Boston during the Great Depression, to her last decade as a galvanizing figure of populist politics
With her walk across America at the age of 90, New Hampshire native Doris Haddock entered the national consciousness as Granny D, a candid and feisty champion of commonsense populist politics. Four years later she ran for the U.S. Senate against the usual entrenched big-party interestsand lost. In the meantime, she became a cause clbre, and an example of the kind of politics that puts people first. Granny Ds American Century is the story of Doris Haddock both before and after these events: as a young woman whose bedrock New England values were tested during the Great Depression, and as a no-nonsense nonagenarian putting those values to work in the causes of voters rights, womens rights, and campaign finance reform. Written in a clear, unsparing prose, Granny Ds American Century is a warm reflection on a life well lived, and a clear and spirited call for virtue in American civic life. A lifelong resident of New Hampshire, doris granny d haddock is the subject of the documentary film, Run, Granny, Run! and the author, with Dennis Michael Burke, of Walking Across America in My Ninetieth Year. She died in 2010. dennis michael burke , the former director of Arizona Common Cause, is a writer living in Phoenix, Arizona.

Sports-related concussions, also known as mild traumatic brain injuries, have become a national epidemic. As many as 63 percent of high school students have already had at least one concussion, while another 500,000 children between the ages of ten and fourteen visit ERs for concussion annually. New research has shown that sending a child back on the field too soon puts his or her physical and emotional health at risk, yet coaches and parents continue to miss the warning signs of concussion, and encourage kids to go back to the field, court, diamond, or rink. Describing the basics of identification, management, and treatment of concussion in kids, Ahead of the Game is the first book to give parents of school-aged athletes the tools they need to protect their most vital organthe brainbefore an injury occurs. This thoroughly readable book brilliantly provides parents, coaches, and others with the most important lessons and information needed to protect young minds.

The Changing Nature of the Maine Woods is both a fascinating introduction to the forests of Maine and a detailed but accessible narrative of the dynamism of these ecosystems. This is natural history with a long view, starting with an overview of the states geological history, the reemergence of the forest after glacial retreat, and the surprising changes right up to European arrival. The authors create a vivid picture of Maine forests just before the impact of Euro-Americans and trace the profound transformations since settlement. The book is ambitious in its geographic range, conveying a clear sense of how and why Maine forests differ across the length and breadth of the state, from the top of Mount Katahdin to the coast. Deploying groundbreaking research as well as engaging narratives, the authors assess key ecological forces such as climate change, insects and disease, nonnative organisms, natural disturbance, and changing land use to create a dramatic portrait of Maine forestspast, present, and future. This book both synthesizes the latest scientific discoveries regarding the changing forest and relates the findings to an educated lay and academic audience.

Porches of North America

thomas durant visser
A complete architectural guide to this well-loved building feature
The porch, whether simple or grand, evokes feelings of welcome, comfort, and nostalgia in all of us, yet there has been little published on the history of this omnipresent architectural feature. This book examines how porches in their many forms have evolved in the United States and Canada through innovations, adaptations, and revivals. Covering formal porches and verandas, as well as the many informal vernacular types, this book proffers insights into broad cultural customs and patterns, as well as regional preferences and usage. Lavishly illustrated with contemporary and historic photographs, Porches of North America provides a chronological and typological framework for identifying historic porches. All those who love to while away their afternoons on a favorite porch will find this architectural history delightful as well as informative. This is a valuable book covering an important, but understudied subject. It makes a significant contribution to the field by presenting a careful and considered analysis of both the social/cultural significance and stylistic details of porches. Steven J.

In many ways, this is the story of the birth of the American style in classical music. George Whitefield Chadwick (18541931) was one of the most significant and influential American composers at the turn of the twentieth century and a leading light of the Boston cultural scene. Bill F. Faucett offers a detailed exploration of Chadwicks life and art utilizing archival material only recently made available. These crucial primary sources, including letters, diaries, and memoirs, enable a deeper and more nuanced understanding of Chadwicks music and aesthetic perspective, and provide a clearer lens through which to view his life, career, and times. The book traces Chadwicks story from his earliest musical education to his surging career in Bostons nascent musical culture of the 1880s, to his fruitful middle years, and finally to his later life and towering legacy. In addition to bringing newfound appreciation of Chadwicks life, Faucetts book offers penetrating examinations of his major compositions and a vivid re-creation of Bostons rich and influential musical and cultural scene. This book will appeal to a broad audience of music lovers, scholars, and anyone interested in nineteenthcentury American music and the Boston cultural scene.
bill f. faucett is a widely respected Chadwick scholar and the former classical music critic and columnist at the Palm Beach Post and American Record Guide. He is currently an arts administrator at Tampas Straz Center for the Performing Arts.

Jazz and European Sources, Dynamics, and Contexts edited by luca cerchiari, laurent cugny, and franz kerschbaumer
The critical role of Europe in the music, personalities, and analysis of jazz
Eurojazzland
It is often said that jazz is Americas great gift to the world, and while true, this belies the surprising, often crucial role that Europe has played in the development and popularity of jazz throughout the world. Based on a series of symposia attracting leading scholars, critics, and musicians from throughout Europe and the United States, the volume first addresses the impact of European musical traditions and instruments on the formation and development of American jazz. Part two details the vital experiences of American musicians on European soil, from black minstrels to such jazz greats as Benny Carter and Duke Ellington, and deals with European jazzmen and their developments of American jazz styles. The final part chronicles the importance of European critics and musicologists in jazz criticism and offers essays on European contributions to jazz musicianship and production. Eurojazzland proves that jazz is simply too rich and varied for one country to claim, define, or contain. This groundbreaking collection will appeal to jazz aficionados, scholars, musicologists, and musicians.

In recent years, international medicine has become a growth industry. International aid organizations, religious organizations, and medical schools all provide opportunities for health care workers to travel to developing countries to provide needed medical care to the worlds poorest citizens. Medical aid workers from the West encounter many challenges. They serve in settings with limited medical supplies, facilities, and personnel. Their patients speak different languages, have different cultures, and may even have different interpretations of disease. With limited time in which to provide medical care to hundreds of people or more, ethical dilemmas abound, and many health care practitioners, both novice and expert, are unprepared to manage them. This volume uses a series of case studies to provide medical aid workers with a method for identifying, analyzing, and resolving ethical issues within the context of international medicine. It is an invaluable tool for individuals and health organizations seeking to serve in the developing countries throughout the world.

Media, Gender, and Politics in Mormon Fundamentalism janet bennion

A provocative look at the costs and benefits of polygamy among western fundamentalist Mormon women
Polygamy in Primetime
Recently, polygamy has become a primetime phenomenon. Television shows like Big Love and Sister Wives demonstrate the progressive side of polygamy while horror stories from victims of abusive marriages offer less upbeat experiences among the adherents of the fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS Church). In general, the American public views fundamentalist Mormons, and polygamy in particular, with salacious interest or disgust. Bennion, herself a product of Mormon polygamy, seeks to dispel the myths and misinformation that surround this topic. This study, based on 17 years of ethnographic research among the Allred Group (Apostolic United Brethren) and an analysis of recent blog journal entries written by a range of polygamous women, examines the variability and complexity of contemporary Mormon fundamentalist life in the Intermountain West. Although Bennion highlights problems associated with polygamy, including evidence that some forms are at high risk for father-child incest, she challenges the media-driven depiction of plural marriage as uniformly abusive and harmful to women. She shows how polygamist families can provide both economic security and social sustenance for some women, and how the authority of the husband can be undermined by the stresses of providing for multiple wives and children. Going beyond the medias obsession with the sexual aspects of polygamist marriage, Bennion offers a rich description of familial, social, and legal contexts. Throughout, she makes the case for legalizing polygamy in order to allow greater visibility and regulation of the practice.

Essays on Nineteenth-Century American Women Writers and Great Britain edited by beth l. lueck, brigitte bailey, and lucinda l. damon-bach
Highlights the social and textual complexity of the transatlantic world for American women writers
In this volume, fifteen scholars from diverse backgrounds analyze American women writers transatlantic exchanges in the nineteenth century. They show how women writers (and often their publications) traveled to create or reinforce professional networks and identities, to escape strictures on women and African Americans, to promote reform, to improve their health, to understand the workings of other nations, and to pursue cultural and aesthetic education. Presenting new material about women writers literary friendships, travels, reception and readership, and influences, the volume offers new frameworks for thinking about transatlantic literary studies.

Unearths the roots of a national awakening among Soviet Jews during World War II and its aftermath
Jews Welcome Coffee
Tradition and Innovation in Early Modern Germany robert liberles

A lively look at how coffee affected Jewish life in early modern Germany
This illuminating study explores the role of religious institutions in the makeup of Jewish identity in the former Soviet Union, against the backdrop of the governments antireligion policies from the 1940s to the 1960s. Foregrounding instances of Jewish public and private activities centered on synagogues and prayer groupsparadoxically the only Jewish institutions sanctioned by the governmentAltshuler dispels the commonly held perception of Soviet Jewry as The Jews of Silence and reveals the earliest stirrings of Jewish national sentiment that anticipated the liberation movement of the 1960s and 1970s.
mordechai altshuler is professor emeritus in The Avraham Harman Institute of Contemporary Jewry, Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Tracing the introduction of coffee into Europe, Robert Liberles challenges long-held assumptions about early modern Jewish history and shows how the Jews harnessed an innovation that enriched their personal, religious, social, and economic lives. Focusing on Jewish society in Germany in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and using coffee as a key to understanding social change, Liberles analyzes German rabbinic rulings on coffee, Jewish consumption patterns, the commercial importance of coffee for various social strata, differences based on gender, and the efforts of German authorities to restrict Jewish trade in coffee, as well as the integration of Jews into society.
robert liberles holds the David Berg and Family Chair in European History at Ben Gurion University in Beersheva.

Paul de Lagarde and the Origins of Modern Antisemitism ulrich sieg

Shuva
The Future of the Jewish Past yehuda kurtzer

Offers a roadmap for revitalizing the connection between the Jewish people and the Jewish past
Recognized in his own time and also today as a leading scholar of the origins and development of the Septuagint and its sources, Paul de Lagarde (18271892) was a vituperative German nationalist and an antisemite whose writings inspired the National Socialist (Nazi) ideology. An influential and controversial public thinker, he invoked an authentic Germanness that encompassed religion and a national ethos to counter the threat posed by the Jews and liberalism. His appeals to a secret Germany eventually resonated with modern conservative revolutionaries and notable antisemites from Julius Langbehn and Houston Stewart Chamberlain to Alfred Rosenberg and Adolf Hitler himself.
Modern Jews tend to relate to the past through history, which relies on empirical demonstration and rational thought, rather than through memory, which relies on the nonrational architectures of mythology. By now history has surpassed memory as a means of relating to the past, a development that falls short in building identity and creates disconnection between Jews and their collective history. Kurtzer seeks to mend this breach. Drawing on key classical texts, he shows that history and memory are not exclusive and that the perceived dissonance between them can be healed by a selective reclamation of the past and a translation of that past into purposefulness.
ulrich sieg is professor of philosophy at the Philipps-Universitt Marburg, Germany.

now in paperback
An enlightening look at a unique and remarkable Jewish community
Founded in Eastern Europe in the eighteenth century, the Hasidic movement and its religious thinking have dramatically transformed modern Judaism. Baal Shem Tov (or the BeSHT)the purported founder of the Hasidic movementhas fascinated scholars, Jewish philosophers, and laypeople interested in popular Jewish mysticism in general and the contemporary Hasidic movement in all its variety. Etkes sheds light on Baal Shem Tov, on his mysticism, and on his close circle of followers, examining him not only from the vantage point of a social historian, but as a religious figure. The Besht who emerges in these pages is much more down to earth, much more a man of his times.
In 1796, the Jews of St. Thomas founded the first Jewish congregation on the Caribbean island. Through the Sands of Time is a beautifully researched historical portrait of this unusual and tenacious group of Jews. Beset with frequent fires, hurricanes, earthquakes, epidemics, economic depressions, and political upheavals, the Jews of St. Thomas have survived into the twenty-first century, with their synagoguethe oldest synagogue in continuous use under the American flagbeing host to a Jewish religious service every week.

Fertility and Jewish Law
Feminist Perspectives on Orthodox Responsa Literature ronit irshai

A comprehensive comparative study of Jewish law on contemporary reproductive issues from a gender perspective
Self-Determination and Womens Rights in Muslim Societies

edited by chitra raghavan and james p. levine
An interdisciplinary anthology on the intersections of gender, Islam, and law
This book presents, from the perspective of feminist jurisprudence and feminist and liberal bioethics, a complete study of Jewish law (halakhah) on contemporary reproductive issues such as birth control, abortion, and assisted fertility. Irshai examines these issues to probe gender-based values that underlie the interpretations and determinations reached by modern practitioners of halakhah. Her primary goal is to tell, through common halakhic tools, a different halakhic story, one that takes account of the female narrative and its missing perspective.
ronit irshai is an assistant professor in the gender studies program at Bar Ilan University and a lecturer in the Faculty of Law of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She is also a research fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem.

Contradicting the views commonly held by westerners, many Muslim countries in fact engage in a wide spectrum of reform, with the status of women as a central dimension. This anthology counters the myth that Islam and feminism are always or necessarily in opposition. A multidisciplinary group of scholars examine ideology, practice, and reform efforts in the areas of marriage, divorce, abortion, violence against women, inheritance, and female circumcision across the Islamic world, illuminating how religious and cultural prescriptions interact with legal norms, affecting change in sometimes surprising ways.

Identity Thieves

The first book to examine identity theft from the offenders perspective
The Future of Batterer Programs
Reassessing Evidence-Based Practice edward w. gondolf

A critical assessment of the research related to batterer programs with recommendations for heightened engagement of men, ongoing risk management, and better coordination of courts and services
Although identity theft is one of the fastest growing economic crimes in the United States, researchers have devoted little attention to understanding identity thieves. Basing their work on interviews with 59 inmates in federal prison for a variety of identity theft crimes, Copes and Vieraitis use criminological and sociological theories to gain insight into the cognitive, behavioral, and organizational aspects of identity theft. They also offer policy recommendations to reduce the everincreasing threat of this crime.
heith copes is an associate professor in the department of justice sciences, University of Alabama, Birmingham. lynne m. vieraitis is an associate professor in the criminology program at the University of Texas, Dallas.
Batterer programs are at a critical juncture: A handful of experimental program evaluations show little or no effect from the prevailing program approach, a finding that has prompted calls to overhaul or replace such programs. Gondolf examines batterer research in light of the push for evidence-based practice and advocates a progressive evolution of batterer intervention as it currently stands. Cautioning against the call for programs based on a new psychology, he argues that current cognitive-behavioral approaches are appropriate for most cases, with the addition of ongoing risk management for severely violent men. Overall, he promotes a broader picture of batterer intervention and advocates better implementation of the basic principles established in the criminal justice field.

The Death of the American Death Penalty
States Still Leading the Way larry w. koch, colin wark, and john f. galliher
An up-to-date study of state-level developments regarding the death penalty
The death penalty has largely disappeared as a national legislative issue and the Supreme Court has mainly bowed out, leaving the states at the cutting edge of abolition politics. As with their previous volume, America Without the Death Penalty (Northeastern, 2002), the authors of this completely new volume concentrate on the local and regional relationships between death penalty abolition and numerous empirical factors, such as economic conditions; public sentiment; the roles of social, political, and economic elites; the mass media; and population diversity. They highlight the recent abolition of the practice in New York, New Jersey, New Mexico, and Illinois; the near misses in New Hampshire, Connecticut, Maryland, and Nebraska; the Kansas rollercoaster rides; and the surprising recent decline of the death penalty even in the deep South. Abolition of the death penalty in the United States is a piecemeal process, with one state after another peeling off from the pack until the tragic institution finally fades away. This book tells you how, and why, it will likely happen. Its an essential guide to understanding the changing political and cultural challenges to capital punishment at the state level.

ReBlurring the Boundaries edited by bernd herzogenrath

The cooperation and collaboration between media, art forms, and cultural studies
Framed Spaces
Photography and Memory in Contemporary Installation Art monica e. m ctighe

A study of the relationship between photography and installation art
How do fiction, film, music, the Internet, and plastic, performative, and fine arts negotiate their shapes, formats, and contents in our contemporary world? More important, how does their interaction shape their techniques of representation, strategies of communication, and forms of reception? In the light of these ongoing interactive (and intermedial) processes, the fields of cultural studies and American studies are challenged to restructure and reorganize themselves. Less interested in the mere fact of traditional art forms meeting new media such as film, video, and digital arts, the collection concentrates on the ways in which the fundamental theoretical constructs of the media have forever changed. This book offers the latest in global intermedial studies, including discussions of digital photography, comics and graphic novels, performance art, techno, hypertext, and video games.
While earlier theorists held up experience as the defining character of installation art, few people have had the opportunity to walk through celebrated installation pieces from the past. Instead, installation art of the past is known through archival photographs that limit, define, and frame the experience of the viewer. McTighe argues that the rise of photographicbased theories of perception and experience, coupled with the inherent closeness of installation art to the field of photography, had a profound impact on the very nature of installation art, leading to a flood of photography and filmbased installations. With its close readings of specific works, Framed Spaces will appeal to art historians and theorists across a broad spectrum of the visual arts.

Dissent, Empire, and Globalization john muthyala

An original critique of the idea of American empire in the twenty-first century
Dwelling in American
Globalization is not the Americanization of the world, argues John Muthyala. Rather, it is an uneven social, cultural, economic, and political process in which the policies and aspirations of powerful nation-states are entangled with the interests of other empires, nation-states, and communities. Dwelling in American: Dissent, Empire, and Globalization takes up a bold challenge, critiquing scholarship on American empire that views the United States as either an exceptional threat to the world or the only hope for the future. It does so in order to provincialize America, to understand it from outside the borders of nation and location, and from inside the global networks of trade, power, and culture. Using comparative frames of reference, the book makes its arguments by examining the work of a diverse range of writers including Arundhati Roy (War Talk, Power Politics), Azar Nafisi (Reading Lolita in Tehran), and Thomas Friedman (The World Is Flat). This is an original, complex, and often bracingly counterintuitive critique of the idea of American empire that will appeal to anyone interested in understanding the complexities of globalization.

roger d. masters and christopher kelly, series editors
More than two hundred years after the death of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, many of the works of the French philosopher and political theorist have been either unavailable in English or poorly translated. The Collected Writings of Rousseau is the only standard English edition of Rousseaus major works. Each text is supplemented with extensive editorial notes, clarifying Rousseaus references and citations. Each is also keyed to the standard French edition of Rousseaus works, the Pliade edition of the Oeuvres compltes, an innovation of great convenience to scholars who wish to consult a passage in the original.
Students of Rousseau lacking a knowledge of French will long be in the debt of Masters and Kelly . . . [The Collected Writings of Rousseau] provides welcome assistance to Rousseau scholars by alerting teachers and students alike to the controversy Rousseaus writings ignited as well as to the dominant opinions against which he struggled. Each volume in the series will interest general readers, students at all levels, and teachers; and each is needed in any serious library collection. Choice

Nature Transformed
Edward Burtynskys Vermont Quarry Photographs in Context edited by juliette bianco and pieter broucke
An interdisciplinary study framing Canadian photographer Edward Burtynskys quarry images
In 1936, Jackson Pollock traveled to Dartmouth College to view Jos Clemente Orozcos mural The Epic of American Civilization, which had been unveiled in Baker Library two years earlier. The deep impact that the imagery of these frescoes had on the young artist is demonstrated by the drawings and oil paintings that Pollock made after this visit. In these works Pollock explored myth, ritual, and the creative and destructive power of fire in ways directly inspired by Orozcos art. The essays in this volume will examine the importance that Orozcos work had for Pollock during this pivotal moment in his career and bring together for the first time the work of two of the most famous artists of the twentieth century. Contributors: mary k. coffey is associate professor of art history, Dartmouth College. sharon lorenzo is a visiting professor at the University of Pennsylvania. lisa mintz messinger is associate curator, The Metropolitan Museum of Art. stephen polcari is professor of art history, Chapman University.
Quarries constitute one of the most important subjects in celebrated artist Edward Burtynskys photographic oeuvre. His images of the Vermont quarries, both active and abandoned, are particularly striking as works of art but also allude to the storied history of the northern New England marble and granite industry. This volume will feature Burtynskys photographs of these quarries, some reproduced for the first time, within a geological and historical context that includes the impact of Italian stoneworkers upon the communities of Rutland and Barre.

The story of Mylan, one of the worlds leading generic and specialty pharmaceutical companies
A richly illustrated compendium of the artists work in the Bahamas
Celebrated for his meticulously finished watercolors, Stephen Scott Young is perhaps best known for his works painted in the Bahamas. This volume looks back over the artists 25-year career painting there, from his earliest depictions of Bahamian subjects to the present day, encompassing portraits, landscapes and still lifes, as well as his distinctive images of Bahamian children playing marbles in various island locales.
william h. gerdts is professor emeritus of art history, City University of New York, and author of over 25 books on American art.
Founded in 1961 by two entrepreneurs with a keen sense of the marketplace, Mylan helped to create an industry from scratchand then led the way as that industry grew rapidly in the following decades. The rise of generic pharmaceuticals was not inevitable, though. Countless barriers threatened to slow their acceptance. Mylans disciplined attention to qualitycombined with a willingness to break with convention even after its early successes enabled the company to overcome these barriers. Published in Mylans fiftieth anniversary year, this book explains how one unconventional company learned to survive and thrive in the highly regulated, hyper-competitive world of generic pharmaceuticals.

The Relic
A Novel jos maria de ea de queirs

Maiden and Modest
A Renaissance Pastoral Romance bernardim ribeiro

translated by gregory rabassa preface by earl e. fitz
A satiric masterpiece, one of the funniest novels in European literature, and a profound critique of religion, science, and history
The first Iberian pastoral romance, a feminine narrative that is a revealing meditation on love and longing
The Relic is an irreverent fictional autobiography narrating the picaresque adventures of Teodorico, a Portuguese playboy determined to be the heir of his absurdly pious, sexually repressed, and tyrannical Auntie. Sent to the Holy Land, he returns with the relic of relics in hopes of persuading Auntie to bequeath her vast fortune to him. While in Jerusalem, Teodorico has a vision in which he witnesses Christs trial and crucifixion and the founding of Christianitywith a twist. The Relic is a work of absolute comic genius, an invention provocative of outrageous laughter. Harold Bloom The Relic is here preserved with all its subtle wit and wisdom in a masterful rendition. Gregory Rabassa
Modern readers will be surprised by Ribeiros complex treatment of love and longing in Maiden and Modest (1554), because his narrative of suffering and unhappy love is told from the perspective of female protagonists. Indeed, a strikingly feminist note infuses the entire narrative, which also contains both autobiographical aspects and traces of the Cabala and Zohar. A self-conscious narrative that explores issues of gender, identity, and sexuality, Maiden and Modest makes a significant contribution to the development of the European novel. This is an essential book for readers of sixteenth-century literature and scholars of European fiction, sixteenthcentury European studies, Renaissance studies, comparative literature, Jewish studies, womens studies, and feminist fiction.

Home Is an Island
A Novel alfred lewis
Sixty Acres and a Barn

A Novel alfred lewis
edited by frank f. sousa preface by donald warrin A western, agrarian novel that conjures the world of the small dairy farms of California and the Portuguese immigrants who worked them
The life of a Portuguese boy on an island in the Azores up to his coming-of-age and departure for America
Originally published by Random House in 1951, Alfred Lewiss Home Is an Island narrates the life of a boy on an island in the Azores up to his coming-of-age in love and literature, and his eventual departure for America. The location of this story halfway between Portugal and the United States is reflected in the portrayal of the boys early-twentieth-century village, divided between those who honor Portugals seafaring past and those who have been smitten by the American Dream. This book will appeal to readers interested in Portuguese American literature, island literature, immigration, literary themes of reverie, and America in the literary imagination. Praise for Home Is an Island (1951): One does not often find a novel that reads like a poem, that tells a simple story in a simple prose, and yet is heroic, a novel of importance. Patricia Highsmith
Sixty Acres and a Barn tells the captivating coming-of-age story of Luis Sarmento, an immigrant from the Azores who finds in America tolerance, prosperity, and emotional fulfillment. This fascinating slice of immigrant life in California dairy farming explores in lyrical, realistic, and insightful prose the obstacles faced by those who live in insular enclaves between cultures. Sixty Acres and a Barn will appeal to readers interested in Portuguese American literature, ethnic literature, immigrant literature, California regional literature, and dairy farms. Lewis style and quality of the narrative is most refreshing. Some of his descriptive passages, in the pellucid simplicity and rich imagery, ring with the lyricism of poetry. New York Times Book Review It is hoped that Mr. Lewis will inspire other descendants of Camoens . . . to take up the pen, to explore and relate the story of the Portuguese pioneers in California.

Money and Personalism in the Lusophone World edited by roger sansi-roca

A collection of provocative and insightful essays on the representations of money in Brazil and the Lusophone world
expanded edition
Offering the dilemma of the hyphenated American, these poems speak from a place of beauty between two worlds, the old and the new
Pereiras poems evoke times past. They are replete with images of seas, both literal and metaphoricalearths oceans and the troubled waters of emotion. He maintains the dignity his ancestors demanded, while intentionally courting lifes risks. The poems, original and new, are fresh, timely, and subversive-noir adventures set in whiskeylight and bloodlust. . . . Sam Pereira is an essential voice in American poetry. M. L. Williams Ive been an admirer of Sam Pereiras poetry for thirty years now, marveling constantly at his intelligence and humor, his bravado and high style. David St. John
Money does not bring happiness. For Roberto Da Matta, in Carnivals, Rogues, and Heroes (1979), this saying embodies the ambivalence surrounding money in Brazil, a legacy of a Lusophone cultural tradition that privileges personal relationships over impersonal commodified exchange. This volume of Portuguese Literary and Cultural Studies questions this tradition from the perspective of different disciplines. Does money stand in contrast to personal relations? And, if so, is this really particular to Lusophone or, more widely, Latin culturesas opposed to, say, AngloAmerican cultures or Protestantism generally? This book will be of interest to scholars in anthropology, history, literary criticism and Luso-Brazilian studies.
sam pereira s books include Brittle Water and A Caf in Boca. He lives and teaches in Californias San Joaquin Valley.

Getting Relief from Persistent Jaw, Ear, Tooth, and Headache Pain donald r. tanenbaum, dds, mph, and s. l. roistacher, dds
Solutions for chronic facial pain by leading specialists in pain management
Doctor, Why Does My Face Still Ache?
This groundbreaking book explains why millions of Americans with persistent headaches, toothaches, jaw pain, and other debilitating facial pain cant find reliefeven after seeing many doctors in search of a solution. The problem is that most physicians and dentists look for injury or disease to explain the pain but ignore the relationship between emotions and muscles, which compose most of the face. While the mind-body connection has been applied to treat back, heart, skin, and gastrointestinal pain, this is the first book to clearly explain how the brain initiates bodily changes that result in persistent facial pain. Case studies describe the authors methods to relieve patients pain, from teaching about the brain-pain connection to prescribing pain-relieving medications and technologies. This book will not only benefit people with chronic pain but also physicians and dentists insufficiently trained to diagnose persistent facial pain or unable to explain to patients why stress and emotions have fueled their suffering. Drs. Roistacher and Tanenbaum offer both patients and doctors the perspectives and approaches best suited for helping those with chronic orofacial pain. Samuel F. Dworkin, DDS, PhD, Professor Emeritus, Schools of Medicine and Dentistry, University of Washington

The Structure of the Lexicon
Incorporating a cognitive approach in the TCM lexicon, with applications to lexicography, terminology and translation
Electronic Power Control

Volume 1: Power Electronics jean pollefliet
marcel thelen
One of the few scholarly attempts to reconcile a generatively-based approach to the structure of the lexicon with the cognitive approach of Cognitive Grammar
An indispensable companion for engineers and other specialists in the field of power electronics
In this book, Marcel Thelen combines the syntax-based structuring principles and the resulting lexicon according to TCM (TwoCycle Model of Grammar) with the more contemporary cognitive interpretation of the lexicon and mental structures of Cognitive Grammar as developed by Langacker. He discusses issues such as nature/types and applies his insights to the ontological status of concepts, the nature of conceptual structure and polysemy, as well as to other disciplines such as Lexicography, Terminology and Translation. The modified TCM model that emerges is then compared with Cognitive Grammar on the points of centrality of syntax vs. iconicity, generation of structures vs. inventory of ready-made structures, and transformations vs. links. The conclusion is that these form the most difficult obstacles to remove for further reconciliation.
Power electronics plays an important role in daily life. The wide variety of electrical devices that we now take for granted, such as computers, mobile phones and portable multimedia, use power electronics, but its influence is hardly noticed. Electronic Power Control is an excellent base for explaining the principles and applications of power electronics, but also gives particular attention to new technologies. This work has been extended with recent applications of power electronics such as high frequency inductive heating, improving the power factor (PFC), lighting, wind turbines, and much more. It also fully explains electronic engine control and electrical positioning systems and electrical machinery.
jean pollefliet was a university teacher for many years and is a best-selling author in Flanders and the Netherlands.

The story of the renegade artists who brought modern art to the world of animation
High art, popular culture, labor unions, and red-scare paranoia combine in this first booklength study of the pioneering 1950s cartoon studio UPA (United Productions of America). Formed by a nucleus of artists who left the Walt Disney Studio after a bitter strike, UPA produced films that were innovative and graphically boldthe cartoon equivalent to modern art. The book features cameo appearances by James Thurber, Dr. Seuss, Orson Welles, Judy Garland, Jim Backus, and Woody Allen. Includes a select filmography.

An Oral History of ESP-Disk, the Most Outrageous Record Label in America jason weiss
You never heard such sounds in your life
Reel History
The Lost Archive of Juma Sultan and the Aboriginal Music Society stephen farina
ebook exclusive
Striking visual account of jazz in the 1960s and 1970s
In 1964, Bernard Stollman launched the record label ESP-Disk (short for Esperanto Disko) to document the free jazz movement. ESP went on to produce albums by artists as diverse as Pharoah Sanders, Sun Ra, Giuseppi Logan, The Fugs, Pearls Before Swine, Timothy Leary, William Burroughs, and Charles Manson. Due to the politically subversive nature of some productions and sloppy business practices, the label folded in 1974only to relaunch thirty years later. The story of ESP-Disk is told through a multitude of voices, and includes interviews with Stollman, Amiri Baraka, Gato Barbieri, Milford Graves, Roswell Rudd, Sirone, Sonny Simmons, James Zitro, Tom Rapp, Sunny Murray, and many more. The result is a fascinating account of the music and the times. . . . one of the best accounts Ive seen of a chaotic, bizarre, and thrilling time. John Szwed, author of Alan Lomax: The Man Who Recorded the World
In this engaging hybrid ebooka blend of oral history and graphic novelStephen Farina finds Juma Sultan in a local phonebook. After an initial meeting at a roadside diner, Juma takes Steve and a fellow researcher to a decrepit barn, which, amazingly, contains a treasure trove of reel-to-reel audio tapes and 16mm films of jam sessions and jazz performances from the 1960s and 1970s. As the men go through the boxes and begin the painstaking process of preservation, Juma recalls the players, places, and time period when free jazz exploded then fused with the political momentum of the Civil Rights era. Reel Historys expressive and glowing black-and-white illustrations are augmented by audio clips and haunting silent video from Juma Sultans unique archive. This is an invaluable history for jazz historians and fans in the digital age. Placing the story of Juma Sultans lost tapes and career into the context of the cultural archetype of lost music, Farina imparts to his own vision quest a universal significance that readers will find fascinating.

A Deep Traveler Explores Connecticut david k. leff

The art of discovering cultural and natural treasures in everyday landscapes
Animals are disappearing, vanishing, and dying outnot just becoming extinct, but being erased from our consciousness. In this thoughtprovoking book, Arran Stibbe explores the many ways in which languagein animal-product industry manuals, school textbooks, ecological reports, media coverage of environmental issues, and animal rights polemicsaffects our relationships with animals and the natural world. Drawing on the traditional culture of Japan, Animals Erased opens possibilities for those who want to know about discourses and their implications for animals, ecology, and sustainability in the twenty-first century. Amazingly clear and incisive readings of a wide range of discourses related to animals and ecology. With an impressive eye for detail and the big picture, Stibbe gives real insights into the relationship between language, values, and actions. Karla Armbruster, coeditor of Beyond Nature Writing
Every day we encounter a variety of landscapes and objects, either ignoring them or looking without interest at what appears to be just a tree, stone, non-descript building, or dirt road. Deep traveler David K. Leff reveals the rich stories behind many of Connecticuts overlooked landmarks, from the Merritt Parkway and Cornwalls Cathedral Pines to roadside rock art and centuries-old milestones. Seeing the magic in mundane places enriches our daily life with a sense of place and inspires us to protect and make those places better.

In her most recent book, Watchwordthe winner of the Villaurrutia, Mexicos most esteemed literary prizeacclaimed poet Pura Lpez Colom writes of life at its brink with fierce honesty and an unblinking eye. This work shares the darkness, intensity, and skeptical hope of Thomas Hardys great poems, with flashes of secular mysticism, sparked from language itself. In the energy and intensity of her work and in her exhilarating words, we discover both a line of conduct and the source for a richer life. This bilingual edition features the poems en face in Spanish and English.
Both Dante and Dickinson preside over Watchword, Pura Lopz Coloms brilliant notes that day by day gather / something profound and These sly, nimble notations of consciousness feel gentle, eternal, / melodious, imagined, maternal like pages from a secret notebook, but theyre She reminds us just how worldly the otherworldly oddly bold and forthright, too.

Possessed of a voracious curiosity about humans and other subjects, the poems in Heather Christles What Is Amazing invent and navigate worlds in an attempt to understand through participation. The book draws upon the wisdom of foolishness and the logic of glee, while simultaneously exploring the suffering inherent to embodied consciousness. These poems explore how we come to recognize and differentiate objects and beings, how their surroundings reveal them, and how wholly each is attached to its name. What Is Amazing delights in fully inhabiting its varied forms and voices, singing worlds that coincide and collide with our own.

revised and expanded edition

The long-awaited reissue of a classic work of science fiction criticism
In Starboard Wine, Samuel R. Delany explores the implications of his now-famous assertion that science fiction is not about the future. Rather, it uses the future as a means of talking about the present and its potentiality. By recognizing a texts specific difference, we begin to see the quality of its particulars.

the new black

evie shockley

A profound and uplifting meditation on the meanings of race and belonging in America
Money Shot
rae armantrout
now in paperback
Pulitzer Prize winning poet searches for new ways to understand the world in the wake of the Great Recession
Smart, grounded, and lyrical, Evie Shockleys the new black integrates powerful ideas about blackness, past and present, through the medium of beautifully crafted verse. the new black sees our racial past inevitably shaping our contemporary moment, but struggles to remember and reckon with the impact of generational shifts. The poems embrace a formal ambiguity that echoes the uncertainty these shifts produce, while reveling in language play that enables readers to laugh to keep from crying. In these remarkable new poems Evie Shockley seems to step to us wearing an alluring silk gown and steel-toe guerilla boots! She possesses that rare combination of grace and subversiveness. the new black is a book of stunning urgency and invention. Terrance Hayes
The poems in Money Shot are forensic. Just as the money shot in porn is proof of the male orgasm, these poems explore questions of revelation and concealment. What is seen, what is hidden, and how do we know? Money Shots investigation of these questions takes on a particular urgency because it occurs in the context of the suddenly revealed market manipulation and subsequent great recession of 20082009. This stunning follow-up to Versedwinner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award, and a finalist for the National Book Awardis a wonderfully stringent exploration of how deeply our experience of everyday life is embedded in capitalism. Armantrout is only getting better: these new poems are among her best, and among the most relevant poems now being written. Publishers Weekly

The story of a railroad shrouded in secrecy
When Sam Ray was killed at age nineteen in an accident, his father began writing poetry dedicated to his memory. Sams Book is a collection of these elegies and other poems written during Sams lifetime. How should I mourn? David Ray asks. By recalling poignant events from the past he transcends his grief. He remembers Sams first bath, a holy/Rite; tying the shoelaces of the little man; traveling to Greece, where Sam is the first/to see the holy moon. Ray muses on what he taught Sam and what Sam taught him. Originally published in 1987, Sams Book won the 1988 Maurice English Poetry Award. Heartbreaking poems . . . praise the cycle of life, acknowledge the power of death and express the love of a father for his son. Andy Brumer, New York Times Book Review

This classic text sheds light on one of the leastdocumented movements in Connecticuts historythe rise, organization, and operations of the Underground Railroad, over which fugitive slaves from the South found their way to freedom. Drawing data from published sources and, perhaps more importantly, from descendants of Underground agents and from oral tradition, Horatio T. Strother tells the story in detail in this book, originally published in 1962. He traces the routes from such entry points as New Haven harbor and the New York state line, through important crossroads like Brooklyn and Farmington. He tells the stories of many fugitives, shows the dangers they faced, and identifies those who operated the systemfarmers and merchants, local officials and judges, at least one United States Senator, and many dedicated ministers of the Gospel. Set against the larger background of the development of slavery and abolitionism in America, this volume remains the only booklength study of this critical topic.

The Pretty Girl
Novella and Stories debra spark
Twelve bell towers with twelve clocks with twenty-four spindly hands telling the time.
From Victorian toy theatres to a painting with a mysterious story behind it to a graphic novelists battle with the schizophrenia which causes her cartoon characters to march off the page, the novella and six stories in Debra Sparks fourth work of fiction, The Pretty Girl, revolve around artists, artistry, and the magicalsometimes maliciousdeceptions they create. With settings that traverse New Yorks Lower East Side, Victorian London, Paris and Switzerland, Sparks stories twist and turn in mesmerizing ways as they reflect on the fictions we fabricate about and for friends, family, and strangers. In one story, a woman finds her life unexpectedly dramatized on the stage; in another, a couples reconnection with a family friend leads to a labyrinth of mysteries and miscommunications. In the tour-de-force A Wedding Story, Simon Baal Shem, a charming five-inch rabbi found in a chocolate egg offers life advice in the form of Jewish stories. Gritty and elusive, Sparks stories work like the best magic tricks, seeming to defy the laws of reality even as they deftly extend and reinvigorate those laws. Readers who love magical realism, illusions, Jewish literature, and art, will be captivated by Sparks wonderfully textured The Pretty Girl. Each story is so different than the next [] A strange, illuminating, and compelling book. Monica Wood

How the Losers Love Whats Lost

patrick ryan frank
Winner of the Four Way Books Intro Prize in Poetry
The one gone thing goes on being gone.
Set in the Appalachian landscape, Rose McLarneys debut collection, The Always Broken Plates of Mountains, gives voice to a chorus of speakers, who are at once plainspoken, reverent, and musical. There is a tenderness that persists as McLarney explores mountain land and those who live and love and lose on it, and what it means to be faithfulto oneself, to ones heritage, and to one another. McLarneys poems are work of the first order. Unsentimental, empathic, informed by her unerring eye and ear Jane Brox
In his prize-winning debut, How the Losers Love Whats Lost, Frank stares, unflinchingly, into the many faces of disappointment and loss: loss of control, perspective, position, a loved one, the self. Exploring a variety of received forms, he inhabits persona after persona of outsiders, both loser and witness for the lost. Frank is a sly cartographer of this landscape steeped with human failings and lushly populated by the losers who try to live, even thrive, within it. one of the best young poets Ive come across in many years. Alan Shapiro, judge
rose mclarney raises livestock in rural North Carolina and is the 2010/2011 Joan Beebe Teaching Fellow at Warren Wilson College.

Nocturnes of the Brothel of Ruin

my body/ is a mortal moon/ of water
Happily
joan aleshire
I gripped my strangeness hard/ to feel the pulse in it.
Nocturnes of the Brothel of Ruin reflects on the ways love and sex can ruin usour bodies, our contentment, our sense of selfbut can also grant us an almost spiritual knowledge of the human. Structured around the life of a central speaker born into a world where love is a fever, a sickness, Donnellys masterful volume moves through deserted New England mill towns, the sexual abandon of the 1980s gay demimonde, and (in several translations) medieval imperial Japan, searching out the spirit that survives ruin. an ambitious, winged re-imagining of the possibilities of voice. Chase Twichell
Happily, Joan Aleshires fifth book of poems, examines a childhood of privilege and difference in a remarkable Baltimore family during the 1940s and 50s. The collection offers vivid glimpses of 20th century history as it explores the trials, challenges and joys of relationships within the family and beyond that have influenced the developing consciousness of a particular self in the world. Aleshires poems are as much sound as sense, and together they dont so much talk about a vanished time as recreate it with all its many levels of actuality and gradations of emotion. Stephen Dobyns
joan aleshire teaches in the MFA Program at Warren Wilson College and lives in Vermont.

American Rhapsody

An elegy to the authors parents and to America past and present
The One Fifteen to Penn Station

kevin carey
Family, friendships, the fear of uncertainty and the regret and damage from the choices we make
The authors romanticizing and grieving for her lost parents and America extends from the Prohibition era, its glamour and notoriety, with figures like Warren Harding and Josephine Baker to Enron, urban decay, and illegal immigration. . . . American Rhapsody is a charming, witty, musical portrayal of American life in the 1920s and 30s and of its larger impact on the nation today. Stone evokes the sublime of Le Jazz Hot and the seediness of rum-runners, marathon dancers and racketeers. Through it all she muses on the hope and destiny of the American dream, elegizing believers who live / as language / in my inky heart. Grace Schulman
Poetry that takes us from an urban beachfront in the shadow of the Boston skyline to the halls of a private prep school, from the corner drugstore to the playground basketball court. Careys universe may be set in blue-collar New England, but out of that backdrop, we find a man very much like ourselves trying to hold on to what everyone loses eventuallyhis children as they grow up, his parents, long-time friends, perhaps, most important of all, his sense of where he thought he was going to be when he was young and what life is for him now.

Motherhood Exaggerated
judith hannan
foreword by alan m. dershowitz introduction by leonard wexler, m.d. When eight-year-old Nadia cracks her jaw on a piece of Halloween candy unmasking a rare bone cancer, mother and daughter are launched on a revelatory journey of treatment, recovery and survival
In the past, the few memoirs about children battling cancer dealt mostly with death and grief. This passionate retelling by a survivors mother is about the struggle to help shepherd her child out of illness, towards health and through survival. Now that more children survive cancer, this passionate retelling by the survivors mother is required reading; the struggle of helping move the child out of illness. A child with a life-threatening illness is every mothers nightmare. Yet Judith Hannans memoir, Motherhood Exaggerated, is a beautifully written narrative that every reader will find compelling. This is not just a tale about a mother and daughter on a frightening medical journey but a moving, engaging retelling of the complex bonds and tensions every parent experiences in our relationship with our children. Mary Gordon I congratulate Judi for going through these things again in the writing of this book, for it must have been a harrowing experience. . . . And she has made us want to go on and turn every difficult page, to burst through the same bubbles that she bursts through and then finally, perhaps midway through her own life, stand naked in the glory of a new and robustly complicated relationship with herself.

This Constellation Is a Name

Collected Poems 19652010 michael heller
preface by kimiko hahn

Winner of the Nightboat Poetry Prize
In these haunting lyrics, Fisher weighs the proximity, physical no less than linguistic, of nurture and violence
A landmark volume gathering 45 years of work by one of our leading poets
Jessica Fishers second book of poems brings lyrics intensity of perception to an era of global war while chronicling the everyday motions of new motherhood. In this elegant and elusive work, the inmost moves outward, like sight or voice, into the external world. Her poems are analytic meditations, their variety and beauty manifestations of extraordinary sensitivity to English syntax. Louise Glck
From his early spare poems written in Spain to the recent ruminative work exploring language, tradition (often Jewish and diasporic) and the self, this book collects four decades of Michael Hellers tone perfect poems as George Oppen described them. Enriched with the detailed landscapes of the phenomenal world and mind, This Constellation Is a Name confirms Michael Hellers place at the forefront of contemporary American poetry.
jessica fisher s first book of poems, FrailCraft, won the 2006 Yale Younger Poets Award and was a finalist for the Northern California Book Award. She holds a PhD in English from the University of California, Berkeley, and lives in Oakland.
michael heller is a poet, essayist, and critic. He is the author of twenty books, including Living Root: A Memoir, Exigent Futures: New and Selected Poems and Convictions Net of Branches, his award-winning study of the Objectivist poets. He lives in New York City.

The Obituary
gail scott
A haunting new novel from the author of My Paris
In Partially Kept, Ronks elegiac and lyrical poetry responds to a world marked by transience and loss. Quotations by 17th century essayist Sir Thomas Browne highlight historical shifts in language, creating intertextual poems that consider the botanical world, the art of photography, and philosophy. Ronks attention to rhetoric and representation speak to the shifting temporality between one thing and another, between one mind and another. One of Americas finest poets. Donald Revell
martha ronk s books of poetry include Vertigo, selected by C.D. Wright for the National Poetry Series, and In a landscape of having to repeat, which won the PEN USA Award. She teaches literature at Occidental College and lives in Los Angeles.
In order to traverse a city where identity is tagged by accent, Rosine, Gail Scotts partIndigenous protagonist, performs an evershifting amalgam, ventriloquizing often suspect voices, both contemporaneous and ancestral. Her inability to claim a legacy becomes a trajectory of disjunctions where place, language, and race are lived through in the most detailed ways, fostering schisms that challenge what narrative has come to mean under the rubric of the novel. Though a mystery, possibly involving murder, The Obituary is less a whodunit than an investigation of who speaks when one speaks. A great achievement. I cant remember when Ive been so wowed by a book. Robert Glck

Just Look at the Dancers

Canticles, Fumes, Monostichs christopher middleton
A new collection from an incomparable stylist of rare genius and an exacting sensibility
Here are two books in one by an Israeli poet and muse, Ilana Shmueli, who has been known to English readers through her important correspondence with Paul Celanshort poems that can be read as a single, important long poemloaded with new discoveries and a memoir of her early life in Czernowitz, Bukovina (the region that gave us Celan, Norman Manea, Nina Cassian, Gregor von Rezzori, and Aharon Appelfeld, et al.), out of which a significant part of her poetry eventually grew.
Our language has not enjoyed the work of a poet so religious, without the consolations of convention, since the death of Wallace Stevens. Graham Christian, Harvard Review "Christopher Middleton's rare genius for exact observation and metaphysical wit has given us for over half a century now poems of such brilliant craftsmanship and exacting sensibility that a few critics only have dared to assess their magic. He is an incomparable stylist, a wry ironist, a philosopher of words. The only category in which he fits justly is that of a poet." Guy Davenport

Arguably the best living English poet at the height of his power
poetry poetry poetry poetry poetry
McClungs poetry walks on a tightrope of original knowledge, stretched between irrational poles. Her poetry lives at the center and furthest edges of human experience. Often while reading this book I thought, Shes wrong about that. Ten seconds later I thought, No, shes right. Read her poetry, then look in the mirror: you are not the same person. Sometimes her songs are comedy, sometimes tragedy; they are not opposites. Tears and laughter opposites? Many of the poems are mysterious, passionate love poems, and there are war poems. Stanley Moss
Fullers poetry can be seen to build a bridge of boats between light verse and solemn elegy with the best technique of anyone writing in Britain now. Peter Porter John Fullers poetry is a remarkable achievement in which knowledge, wit, and complex feeling engage nature and art in an unflagging array of invention. Together, the works are astonishing, and Fullers accomplishment seems unrivaled. John Hollander

The Definition of Joy

Poems joy ladin
Breathtaking, rigorous new poems that wrestle with history, myth, devils, angels and self
Joy Ladin sends spies into the Promised Land.
The worldly poetry in Strange Nursery confirms the holiness of all living things. This is poetry about savage nativity scenes, the martyrization of rats, hope, passions. Included is a poem that stands, according to Harold Bloom, as one of a handful of major American longer poems, of middle length, of the last half-century.
esther schor , educated at Yale, is a poet and Professor of English at Princeton. She won the 2006 National Jewish Book Award.
Joy Ladins The Definition of Joy searches for and finds useful truth and truth you can keep on the shelf for later use, definition and redefinition of self. She plays profoundly with her name and holy names in the temple and synagogues of her sexuality that is also our doing and undoing. Her world that once was secret and private is our world, far as Uganda, close as a kiss. She sends spies into the Promised Land. Stanley Moss

My Scarlet Ways

The Girls of Peculiar

Poetry catherine pierce
Winner of the Saturnalia Books Poetry Prize, selected by Denise Duhamel
A stunning new voice of erotic devastation
The newest offering, full of wit and wisdom, from the award-winning author of Famous Last Words
The poems in My Scarlet Ways are, most often, attempts at self-destruction by any means necessarylove, sex, language, God, and ultimately, fantasies of motherhood. With piercing passion and linguistic precision, Tanya Larkin, pursues and retreats from her reader like a poetic Mata Hari, drawing us closer, if only to entice and strike us again in poem after poem. As judge, Denise Duhamel writes, Larkin is a poet of intelligence and intuition, of wily and wicked wisdom. My Scarlet Ways is a new and unique addition to American poetry.
tanya larkin was born in Montebelluna, Italy and raised in Pennsylvania. She attended Columbia University and the Iowa Writers Workshop, and is a recipient of a Massachusetts Cultural Council Grant. She lives in Somerville, Massachusetts and teaches at The New England Institute of Art. Her poems have appeared in Conduit, Quarterly West, Ploughshares, and elsewhere.
In Catherine Pierces most peculiar second collection, we enter a world of longing and destruction, of death and rebirth, and of wonderfully odd girlsgirls who read too much, who drink too much or not enough, who craft necklaces from earwigs and wring nostalgia from Spiro Agnew. These are poems of questions and restlessness, but also of answers of a sort. As Beth Ann Fennelly writes, [t]he big themes hereself identity, desire, escapeare illuminated with clarity, scored musically, and enlivened with wit. The Girls of Peculiar is a fabulous book.
catherine pierce is the author of Famous Last Words (Saturnalia Books, 2008). Her poems have appeared in many journals and anthologies, including The Best American Poetry 2011. She lives in Starkville, Mississippi, where she co-directs the creative writing program at Mississippi State University.
