A hybrid text that deals most urgently in the articulation of growth and grief. After the loss of his mother, Omar Holmon re-learns how to live by immersing himself in popular culture, becoming well-versed in using the many modes of pop culture to spell out his emotions. This book is made up of both poems and essays, drenched in both sadness and unmistakable humour. Teeming with references that are touchable, no matter what you do or don''t know, this book feels warm and inviting.
Birthright is a book that balances the weight of place. The pride and shame and worth of homeland. Palestine, a homeland under siege and under scrutiny from a world that doesn''t occupy its borders. It is a book of immense nuance, pulling together all corners of the author s pride in home, but also a desire to understand the violent cycles of the American machinery of war.
From poetry slam champion Porsha O, a debut collection exploring black womanhood.
From drunk vengeful dolphins to toxic newts, you''ll never see the alphabet the same way again. Full of fun, grisly facts for the inquisitive older child and wry humour for adults, this witty, nerdy picture book is a macabre treat. With intricate cartoon illustrations, this is a journey through the alphabet of animals that can kill you.
2017 Goodreads Choice Awards - Best Poetry Book Runner-Up One of the most recognizable young poets in America, Olivia Gatwood dazzles with her tribute to contemporary American womanhood in her debut book, New American Best Friend. Gatwood's poems deftly deconstruct traditional stereotypes. The focus shifts from childhood to adulthood, gender to sexuality, violence to joy. And always and inexorably, the book moves toward celebration, culminating in a series of odes: odes to the body, to tough women, to embracing your own journey in all its failures and triumphs.
