Book Description
You are the northern wind Sweeping, gusting, Teasing the burning sky. You are the hottest blue, The force that blows me away. Your love, It rises out of the sea And descends to the depths of my being ... Although timeless and eternal, love goes through stages, like moon phases. In a debut volume of verse, Vinma invites you on a lunar journey to not only rediscover previously known thoughts about love, but also to learn and embrace new insights. Within a variety of poems sprinkled with passion, promises, commitments, compromises, betrayal, and sacrifices, Vinma leads us to the realization of self that truly endures and powers through its eclipses in life’s darker moments to find radiance in each moon cycle and ultimately come full circle. Love Moons is a poetic saga of love and endurance of self that truly shines bright in the twilight of life.

What would happen if the world were ending? A catastrophic event renders the earth a ticking time bomb.

ONE OF NPR'S BEST BOOKS OF 2020 LONGLISTED FOR THE 2021 JOYCE CAROL OATES PRIZE A lush, glittering short story collection exploring female obsession and desire by an award-winning author Roxane Gay calls "a consummate storyteller." From Kentucky to the California desert, these forty-two short stories -- ranging from the 80's and 90's to present day -- expose the hearts of girls and women in moments of obsessive desire and fantasy, wildness and bad behavior, brokenness and fearlessness, and more. On a hot July night, teenage girls sneak out of the house to meet their boyfriends by the train tracks. Members of a cult form an unsettling chorus as they proclaim their adoration for the same man. A woman luxuriates in a fantasy getaway to escape her past. A love story begins over cabbages in a grocery store, and a laundress's life is consumed by her obsession with a baseball star. After the death of a sister, two high school friends kiss all night and binge-watch Winona Ryder movies. Leesa Cross-Smith's sensuous stories -- some long, some gone in a flash, some told over text and emails -- drench readers in nostalgia for summer nights and sultry days. They recall the intense friendships of teenage girls and the innate bonds between mothers, the first heady rush of desire, and the pure exhilaration of womanhood, all while holding up the wild souls of women so they can catch the light.
