    What came first in this Gothic Western, the ghosts or The Black Tree Atop the Hill?Set in an alternate American old-west that is hauntingly familiar yet strangely off-putting, Marisol is the first to see the tree on the hill, but that's only to be expected. As the witch of Jack Boyd's ranch, her job is to notice threats, even amid a most disastrous calving season.It is up to Marisol and the ranch's ghost to work together to stop mysteriously spreading trees from taking over their ranch, California, and the entirety of the country. But real magic requires sacrifice, and Marisol is not certain she is prepared to accept the consequences of what she must do to stop the trees' advance.This is a story about believing in intuition against the rain, about the violence of nature and of those who inflict it. Gothic gardeners explore the question of nature's home in a progressing world.Oozing with conflicting resolutions and twisty insides, this is a stunning debut by Portland artist Karla Yvette.

  • von Sheila Squillante
    21,00 €

    Through lyrical and intimate personal essays, All Things Edible, Random and Odd delivers a portrait not just of a father who died, but of a daughter who kept living. Sheila Squillante's heartfelt and humorous essays introduce us to a father-a 1980s businessman and early adopter of the term "foodie"?and a daughter's complicated grief. It also moves beyond that grief, to embrace the intricacies and delights of how life grows from it. Food remains central throughout the collection with essays that serve up a menu (and sometimes recipes!) of Hawaiian beach seaweed, turtle soup, and fermented Icelandic shark. Nostalgia clashes with reality, through stories connecting memories to taste.With poetic prose, Squillante expresses the complexities of unresolved relationships, the importance of shared experiences, and how family and food make us who we are.

  • von Vi Nao
    20,00 €

    A series of poetic remixes, WAR IS NOT MY MOTHER might be considered a form of spirit possession.Each poem in this manuscript takes up another poet's work- a selection that ranges from Lorca to CD Wright, Hồ Xuân Hương to Sappho, Agha Shahid Ali to Ishrat Afreen? and alters its DNA, infusing it with an other idiolect. This is an idiolect of pleasure (the wordplay, puns, and cadence of the Vietnamese language) and of pain (the long shadow of the Vietnam war in the lives of those who survived, barely survived, and became refugees). Like any possessing spirit, WAR IS NOT MY MOTHER speaks in tongues: using others' words to articulate a personal pain. Shorn of their original context and content, the poems in this collection? mutant-hybrids who retain a trace of their skeleton while dressed in entirely other clothes? become a play of voices that call into question notions of authenticity and self in poetic production, a postmodern twist for the classical craft.

Cepeda is a Latinx talent you should be reading as a horror and poetry fan. I highly recommend this beautiful book that reaches out and grabs you by the heart and throat.

  • von Lindsay Lerman
    20,00 €

    Radically imaginative and intense, challenging language to be slow and fast, soft and hard, drunk and sober, What Are You performs its own destruction and recreation.Hypnotic, dreamlike, lyrical essays tell the story of a woman trapped in a destructive love affair with the universe. Her understanding of power, desire, and complicity must be transformed again and again. Addressed to an amorphous you, Lerman wrestles with the forces of birth and death, creation and destruction-going deep into the subterranean strata of consciousness and back."An incantatory and hypnotic work of voice, What Are You exists at the apex of creation and destruction, desire and shame, innocence and experience, violence and tenderness, rapture and suffering, hunger and the denial of flesh. To read it is to feel the terror of falling from a great height-but wanting to; maybe even choosing to jump."-Sarah Gerard, author of Binary Star and True Love "Lindsay Lerman is brilliant. This book manages to be fiercely direct and enigmatic at the same time. It hit me the way Duras, Zambreno, and Lispector do."-Nate Lippens, author of My Dead Book "What Are You is relentlessly and elegantly erudite, yet deeply felt and compulsively readable. There is nothing in literature, philosophy, or her own life that seems beyond Lerman''s capable grasp. She has a particular genius for weaving together disparate elements that would leave a lesser writer dumbfounded."-Nicola Maye Goldberg, author of Nothing Can Hurt You "Passionate, dispassionate, hypnotic, deadpan, ecstatic, Lindsay Lerman''s What Are You, read it now. Now."-Kathe Koja, author of The Cipher and Dark Factory "Lerman''s prose evades categorical thinking and forces you to reconcile yourself to the fact that individuals and their worlds are dynamic, reflexive, and reciprocally determined. It''s a slippery book that demands we deal with it in its full complexity, without recourse to the simplifying unities we would normally use to reduce people to what they aren''t. Lindsay Lerman is insidiously powerful; you don''t realize what she''s done to you until it''s done. Purgatory in the sense of catharsis, a text for devouring and devotion."-Charlene Elsby, author of Hexis and Psychros "Holy shit! This book had me hypnotized. It''s raw and rigorous and sexy and relentless and completely on fire - it''s a cold beer beside an active volcano, and it''s delicious. Like Chris Kraus and Maggie Nelson, What Are You wrestles critical theory to the ground and emerges with a triumphant, radical, thrilling, clarifying new form of writing about sex, feminism, and the self."-Kate Reed Petty, author of True Story "Lindsay Lerman gives a sense that the author and the reader are on the run together, foraging a path of discovery as they flee. With prose both beautiful and relentlessly shifting with experiment, this book meets the reader at not-knowing and carries them forward, scouting the territory just one step ahead."-Alex DiFrancesco, author of All City and Transmutation

Using Livejournal entries, we meet our protagonist, in her messy transition into adulthood in the midst of grappling with calorie counts, boys, and being honest with who she is only online.

Lucy shambles through the last weeks of her senior year of high school, jonesing for a thinner body, desperate to connect with another human. Who is reflected back at her when she is sleeping with someone, when she is puking into the toilet bowl? Who is reflected back when she's alone?

  • von Acha Martine Thiam
    19,00 €

    AT SEA is a collection that? at times introspective and confessional, at times perceptively aimed outward, toward a vertiginous world? sails the pathway between trauma and healing. Readers are taken aboard into a microcosm where wonder meets waterlogged torment and self-harm; where grief, euphoria and longing coexist; where womanhood is as joyful and dizzying an experience as it is searing; where peeling the layers of cultural identity is like plunging into the most opaque and briny deep. While the act of remembering has solitary, melancholy tinges, Aïcha Martine Thiam's pen never wavers, nor does it stray far from the impulse to bear witness, to do justice, and to connect with kindred souls.

  • von Blake Middleton
    16,00 €

    A radically open and unrestrained text, an actual person in a concrete historical situation is a fragmented and meandering poem that captures what it feels like to be one person in a vast, overwhelming, crisis-ridden world. Generative rather than directive, the poem magnifies the small, overlooked moments in life; explores flickering thoughts, impressions, impulses; and wallows joyfully in unending confusion.

    These poems were written in 2013, 2014, and 2015. They attempt to apply the logic of an illiterate person writing the statement "I can''t read" to poetry. They all failed. Enjoy. "Everything in this book is anatomically correct. It really makes your synapses fire. I especially related to ''russet'' as I am also not a potato. Not quite sure what he has against punctuation though." - Margaret Krackeler, MD"Have you ever wished to inject pure emotion into your body? A syringe containing the pure essence of life itself, wriggling with passion and love and pain? Have you desperately spent years seeking out such a thing? Well it does not exist. But this book is pretty good."-DougDoug, beloved YouTuber
