Book Description
Finally, the shadow man is gone. I’ve been on sabbatical, trying to work on a book, but I’m getting antsy to return to my job. And then, one beautiful April morning, Rebecca the Imp delivers a message to me: Briar, the Fae Lord who helped us when we were trying to save Tad and Hank from Bigfoot, has called in my debt. It’s time to repay the favor. A dangerous member of the sub-Fae has escaped from the Overking’s realm and it’s loose in Moonshadow Bay. If the Court Magika discovers that a sluagh is running around, it could endanger negotiations between the Witchblood and the Fae. So Briar assigns the task to me: find and destroy the sluagh. The trouble is, I can’t tell my grandmother about it, or any member of the Court. So it’s back to Conjure Ink, to resume work on a part-time basis, and to enlist the agency’s help in tracking down the sub-Fae. Can I manage to clear my debt to the Overkings? And can we destroy the sluagh before it goes on a killing spree through Moonshadow Bay?

Nests and Strangers
Author: Timothy Yu (Professor of literature)
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780932716811
Category : American poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Literary Nonfiction. Cultural Writing. Poetry. Asian American Studies. Women's Studies. "What is an avant- garde Asian American Poetic?" NESTS AND STRANGERS: ON ASIAN AMERICAN WOMEN POETS offers an investigation into the contextual identities of diaspora, sound, and the materiality of objectification found both in and on the body through the possibilities of language and page. Essayists Sarah Dowling, Merle Woo, Sueyeun Juliette Lee, and Dorothy Wang provide a critical framework on the life, works, politics, and poetics of Asian American poets Nellie Wong, Myung Mi Kim, Mei-mei Berssenbrugge, and Bhanu Kapil, four authors whose bodies of work represent the full range of Asian American poetry written since the 1970s. Authors include: Sarah Dowling, Merle Woo, Sueyeun Juliette Lee, Dorothy Wang, and Mg Roberts. "What I first thought would be a coincidental combination of very different poets and poetries unexpectedly reveals a logical trajectory from twentieth-century Asian American activism to radically innovative poetry. These poets don't just defy erasure or silencing of their individual or chosen- as-collective identities-they create and re-create selves unimaginable to those who would have subsumed their voices. The terms 'Asian American' or 'Asian American poetry' can be unsatisfactory for reducing difference. But after reading this collection, I actually opened myself up to the possibility of accepting the label: 'Asian American woman poet.'" Eileen R. Tabios "Encompassing an impressively wide range of poetic strategies and orientations within what might seem a narrow category, this lively collection of essays explores a group of Asian American women poets bonded together by a groundbreaking small press whose expansive vision offered a stage on which new, challenging forms might emerge. In so doing, these essays participate in a celebration that is both timely and well deserved." Joseph Jonghyun Jeon "This urgently needed collection of essays offers new readings of the poetry of Nellie Wong, Myung Mi Kim, Mei-mei Berssenbrugge, and Bhanu Kapil as engaged with what Sarah Dowling, in an essay on Kim, calls 'the problem of how one becomes, or is prevented from becoming, a subject over time.' As the title implies, NESTS AND STRANGERS both highlights the aesthetic heterogeneity of poetry by Asian American women while at the same time acknowledging conditions of subjection that inform the poets' political commitments and make intricate forms of intimacy and embodied perception possible in the writing."

Secrets of the Oak Woodlands
Author: Kate Marianchild
Publisher: Heyday Books
ISBN: 9781597142625
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
A Californian may vacation in Yosemite, Big Sur, or Death Valley, but many of us come home to an oak woodland. Yet, while common, oak woodlands are anything but ordinary. In a book rich in illustration and suffused with wonder, author Kate Marianchild combines extensive research and years of personal experience to explore some of the marvelous plants and animals that the oak woodlands nurture. Acorn woodpeckers unite in marriages of up to ten mates and raise their young cooperatively. Ground squirrels roll in rattlesnake skins to hide their scent from hungry snakes. Manzanita's rust-colored, paper-thin bark peels away in time for the summer solstice, exposing sinuous contours that are cool to the touch even on the hottest day. Conveying up-to-the-minute scientific findings with a storyteller's skill, Marianchild introduces us to a host of remarkable creatures in a world close by, a world that "rustles, hums, and sings with the sounds of wild things."
