Whether your teen's passion is singing, dancing, acting, art, music, content creation, or another creative art form, parenting "talented" tweens and teens can at times be a wonderful journey of inspiration and celebration-but it can also be a jarring experience full of worry, frustration, confusion, and lack of direction.

Tips for navigating the modern technological landscape of social media and cyberbullying (without feeling like you should just toss your teen's mobile phone into a river and avoid the internet altogether).What to do when your teen utters one of two dreaded phrases: "I quit" or "I want to go pro."

By the next morning, Jennifer Nunes's life had exploded when her young child suffered a severe stroke that left him in critical condition.In Making It to Monday, Nunes integrates deep emotion and ongoing reflection as she shares about the months and years that followed the life-altering event that shook her family to their core. From living in a hospital and navigating the health-care system to learning to parent a child with special needs and powering through the darkest of days, Nunes came to acknowledge that trauma and challenge opened her up to newfound strength, hope, and acceptance. Making It to Monday is a triumphant account of how endurance, love, and happiness exist in each of us in times of crises. In fact, there is no faster way to learn that we are tougher than we realize. The darkness will not last forever, but change will-and that is a beautiful thing.

Set against the backdrop of a changing urban landscape, the poems in Tender Machines swing between the domestic and the surreal, charting motherhood, desire and an immigrant family's haunted inheritance. Mapping the lives of women and the lives they inhabit, poems such as "Small Essays on Disappearance,"-which channel the aftermath of motherhood and 9-11-collide with aubades describing mornings in a ruined city: "buying food at the bodegas...nectarines and skin-tight plums." The poems in Tender Machines live in the space between the public and the private, braiding an intimate narrative. This is an intersectional portrait of womanhood with all its losses, departures and wonders.
