Book Description
What critics are saying about Empty like a Pocket. "Molly McDonald has emptied her pockets for us, and -- inverted and convoluted in the fabric of her poems -- they've become little black holes, revealing truths that previously hid as lies. Her deceptively clean language will shake you up with philosophical blindsiding, then explode kaleidoscopic like a Jackson Pollock painting made of your bone marrow. 'I'm burrowed so/ far inside my head I found a China no one knows/ about, ' she writes, but it feels like somehow she burrowed inside my head. McDonald's emotional archaeology feels necessary, though, not invasive; amid ice cream and dissections of car crashes, the 'microscopic looming everything, ' holds taut dichotomies together under her watchful eye" - Claire Kruesel, MFA lecturer, Iowa State University "McDonald's poetry first left me speechless, then all the places in me that used to be cracks started shining, as I'd always secretly wanted them to." - Brett Brinkmeyer, host of radio show Firsthand Poetry

Book Description
La quatrième de couverture indique: "How does the modern museum respond to the movement, migrations and mobilities of the modern world that exceed its practices and premises? The essays in this volume circulate in the constellation of cultural, postcolonial and museum studies to propose a series of intersecting perspectives promoting critical responses to this ongoing interrogation. Memory, the archive, and the politics of display, are unwound from their institutional moorings and allowed to drift into other, frequently non-authorised, accounts of time and space. Called upon to negotiate unplanned encounters with unsuspected actors and the obscured sides of modernity, the museum becomes an experimental space, a laboratory for a cultural democracy yet to come."

Book Description
Italy! A century ago, E.M. Forster's heroine in his novel A Room with a View faints dead away when she witnesses a gangland killing in Florence's Piazza della Signoria. But slowly the vivid otherness of Italy teaches this outwardly conventional English girl to trust her own passionate heart. In Konnie Ellis' new novel A Picnic in Venice we meet a sensitive but mixed-up American, Gina, who comes to Italy to paint. She meets a mosaic artist who expands her personal and artistic horizons, and a gypsy mystic who senses the inner recesses of her mind better than her own psychiatrist. By summer's end, her family relationships are stressed to the breaking point, and she is faced with wrenching choices. Every scene in Picnic in Venice has a bold, cinematic quality. The book's unforgettable characters and striking images reinforce the enduring lure of Italy for this reader.

Book Description
The Sailing Master-Book Two: The Long Passage Readers will happily yield to the spell cast by Book Two without having to first read Book One! Conflict. Love. Commitment & Betrayal . . . all abound in this intrepid novel of the sea set in the Golden Age of Sail. The looming shadow of the Napoleonic War dims the waning glow of the Enlightenment, yet Owen Harriet's heartfelt narrative provides insight into the human condition. And an overarching question emerges . . . is this chronicle simply the story of a man, or of an entire age? From the opening broadside at the Battle of the Nile to the ironic conclusion off Ushant, Owen continues to come of age, maintaining a steadfast relationship with his beloved mentor, Ignatius Comet Lau, HMS Eleanor's esteemed Sailing Master. Deep within French Indochina. Lost on the Mekong River. Owen befriends an inscrutable boy monk, only to fall prey to a demonic French privateer. A powerful enigma continues to haunt Owen and he begins to understand. A premonition of unknown origin? An Oracle? Or a remnant calling from his own childhood imagination.

Book Description
In Living in a Dream, Bluff Country Offerings, the esteemed premier edition of Lost Lake Folk Art books, Nancy and Dana have teamed-up once again to watch over the birds, as it were, to simultaneously create new works in-the-moment and reflect on the past, on their memories. The result is a study in counterpoint: Nancy's always lucid prose searching the dark, tangled timber for a spot of intense color, Dana's sharp, black-ink illustrations leaving the imagination to paint its own image on pure white backdrops.

Book Description
Hogan's memoir chronicles not only her vivid struggles with hunger and extraordinary resilience and determination to get an education but also the cost of poverty on her family and community. The narrative goes beyond the "me-moir." It is an agent of a collective memory that demands to be told; it brings to light the blunt reality of inequality and social injustice in Brazil, displaying the pitfalls of poverty and showing what it is like to go hungry for days, to go to school without shoes or books, and to tutor well-fed students while hungry in order to buy food and books.
