Book Description
Long ago, in a time before cell phones and the internet, three young women in Minneapolis, Minnesota formed a band in the late 1980s after their bad perms grew out. They called themselves Zuzu’s Petals. The band name was lifted from Frank Capra’s obscure-at-the-time movie It’s a Wonderful Life. Though never a household name, Zuzu’s Petals made some glorious indie label records and toured all over the US and the UK all without the assistance of GPS. Creating a following of loveable dorks unable to resist their infectious lack of pretension and finding their punk/pop harmonies an elixir in the time of grunge, the Petals hit their stride in 1992 with the release of their first album When No One’s Looking. But there were complications, illness, love affairs, sexism, secrets, and heartbreak. Here’s a story about music obsession, intense creativity often fueled by intense partying, all originating in the center of the Minneapolis music renaissance in the age of Prince, The Replacements, Hüsker Dü, Soul Asylum, The Jayhawks, and Babes in Toyland (to name a few). Originally published in 2007, now a new generation of readers can inhabit the world of indie rock in the late 80s-mid 90s.

Book Description
The illuminating letters of the National Book Award winning poet Robert Bly and the Nobel Prize winning poet Tomas Tranströmer One day in spring 1964, the young American poet Robert Bly left his rural farmhouse and drove 150 miles to the University of Minnesota library in Minneapolis to obtain the latest book by the young Swedish poet Tomas Tranströmer. When Bly returned home that evening with a copy of Tranströmer's The Half-Finished Heaven, he found a letter waiting for him from its author. With this remarkable coincidence as its beginning, what followed was a vibrant correspondence between two poets who would become essential contributors to global literature. Airmail collects more than 290 letters, written from 1964 until 1990, when Tranströmer suffered a stroke that has left him partially paralyzed and diminished his capacity to write. Across their correspondence, the two poets are profoundly engaged with each other and with the larger world: the Vietnam War, European and American elections, and the struggles of affording a life as a writer. Airmail also illuminates the work of translation as Bly began to render Tranströmer's poetry into English and Tranströmer began to translate Bly's poetry into Swedish. Their collaboration quickly turned into a friendship that has lasted fifty years. Insightful, brilliant, and often funny, Airmail provides a rare portrait of two artists who have become integral to each other's particular genius. This publication marks the first time letters by Bly and Tranströmer have been made available in the United States.

Book Description
The mind-bending miniature historical epic is Sjón's specialty, and Moonstone: The Boy Who Never Was is no exception. But it is also Sjón's most realistic, accessible, and heartfelt work yet. It is the story of a young man on the fringes of a society that is itself at the fringes of the world--at what seems like history's most tumultuous, perhaps ultimate moment. Máni Steinn is queer in a society in which the idea of homosexuality is beyond the furthest extreme. His city, Reykjavik in 1918, is homogeneous and isolated and seems entirely defenseless against the Spanish flu, which has already torn through Europe, Asia, and North America and is now lapping up on Iceland's shores. And if the flu doesn't do it, there's always the threat that war will spread all the way north. And yet the outside world has also brought Icelanders cinema! And there's nothing like a dark, silent room with a film from Europe flickering on the screen to help you escape from the overwhelming threats--and adventures--of the night, to transport you, to make you feel like everything is going to be all right. For Máni Steinn, the question is whether, at Reykjavik's darkest hour, he should retreat all the way into this imaginary world, or if he should engage with the society that has so soundly rejected him.

Book Description
The poems in Thomas R. Smith's Horse of Earth seem both effortless and profound, as if they have sprung from a life in which reverence for the moment has become habitual. Not since discovering Neruda in the 1960s, W.S. Merwin in the 1970s, and Rumi in the 1980s have I been so moved by reading a collection of poetry. -- Jim Heynen.
