precious_boy
by K. Z. SnowIt was just an amateur porn video, like thousands of others on the Internet. Like hundreds Jonathan Wright had seen and hundreds more he'd ignored. He hadn't intended to watch it, but he gives in to his curiosity. When he sees the lithe, blond young man who's doing naughty things with a bearish, older man, he's seduced... and feels like a pervert afterward. The youth in the video seems a little too young, despite the fact he runs his own escort service. Worse yet, Jon gets the nagging feeling he's seen "Justin Time," aka precious_boy, before. When Jon takes a chance and meets Justin in a Chicago hotel room, Jon's past, present, and possibly his future begin to converge in alarming and confusing ways. There's no escaping the resulting dilemma: Jon must decide just how involved he wants to get with a sweet kid whose life has turned sour... a decision made more complex by a surprising connection to a lover from Jon's past.

postChristian: What's Left? Can We Fix It? Do We Care?
by Christian PiattIt's the end of Christianity as we know it. But it's not a catastrophe-it's an opportunity. Thousands are walking away from the church. Christians are grappling with their faith. And both believers and nonbelievers wondering-what's coming next? Fearless and provocative, spiritual trailblazer Christian Piatt offers a roadmap to the future of faith with an unflinching examination of the church today. What's left? Pairing the best "virtues" and worst "scandals" of Christianity, Piatt invites us to abandon institutional religion for deeper, truer faith. Can we fix it? Guided by the biggest historical, religious, and pop-cultural pioneers of the postChristian era, he demonstrates how to save the best of what Christianity has to offer-and how to rediscover and reinvent the rest. Do we care? There's plenty of good left in Christianity-if we dare to be as scandalously graceful and loving as Jesus Himself. Bold and insightful, POSTCHRISTIAN dares Christians to break out of the box and invites outsiders into the fold as we revolutionize faith for a postmodern world.
political science is for everybody: an introduction to political science
by Amy L. Atchisonpolitical science is for everybody is the first intersectionality-mainstreamed textbook written for introductory political science courses. While political science and politics are for everybody, political institutions are neither neutral nor unbiased. When we write political science textbooks that obscure the differences in how groups experience and interact with political institutions, we do students a disservice. This book exposes students to these differences while also bringing marginalized voices to the fore, allowing more students to see their lived experiences reflected in the pages of their textbook. Bringing together a diverse group of contributors, political science is for everybody teaches all the basics of political science while showing that representation matters – both in politics and in the classroom.
playtime
by Andrew McMillan**WINNER OF THE POLARI PRIZE 2019**‘Vivid, accessible and honest, sometimes uncomfortably so’ Alan Bennett, London Review of BooksIn these intimate, sometimes painfully frank poems, Andrew McMillan takes us back to childhood and early adolescence to explore the different ways we grow into our sexual selves and our adult identities. Examining our teenage rites of passage: those dilemmas and traumas that shape us – eating disorders, masturbation, loss of virginity – the poet examines how we use bodies, both our own and other people’s, to chart our progress towards selfhood.McMillan’s award-winning debut collection, physical, was praised for a poetry that was tight and powerful, raw and tender, and playtime expands that narrative frame and widens the gaze. Alongside poems in praise of the naivety of youth, there are those that explore the troubling intersections of violence, masculinity, class and sexuality, always taking the reader with them towards a better understanding of our own physicality. ‘isn’t this what human kind was made for’, McMillan asks in one poem, ‘telling stories learning where the skin/is most in need of touch’. These humane and vital poems are confessions, both in the spiritual and personal sense; they tell us stories that some of us, perhaps, have never found the courage to read before.
play dead
by Francine J. Harris"This book talks smack. This book chews with its open mouth full of the juiciest words, the most indigestible images. This book undoes me. . . . francine j. harris brilliantly ransacks the poet's toolkit, assembling art from buckets of disaster and shreds of hope. Nothing she lays her mind's eye on escapes. You, too, will be captured by her work."--Evie ShockleyLyrically raw and dangerously unapologetic, play dead challenges us to look at our cultivated selves as products of circumstance and attempts to piece together patterns amidst dissociative chaos. harris unearths a ruptured world dictated by violence--a place of deadly what ifs, where survival hangs by a thread. Getting by is carrying bruises and walking around with "half a skull."From "low visibility":I have light in my mouth. I hunger you. You wantwhat comes in drag. a black squirrel in a black tar lane,fresh from exhaust, hot and July's unearthed steam.You want to watch it run over. to study the sog. You want the stink of gristle buried in a muggy weather.I want the faulty mirage. a life of grass.we want the same thing. We want their deathsto break up the sun.francine j. harris is a 2015 NEA Creative Writing Fellow whose first collection, allegiance, was a finalist for the 2013 Kate Tufts Discovery and PEN Open Book Award. Originally from Detroit, she is also Cave Canem fellow who has lived in several cities before returning to Michigan. She received an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Michigan, and currently teaches writing at Interlochen Center for the Arts.

pet radish, shrunken, the
by Pearl PirieIn this post-lyrical era, poems can be stories, or they can just as easily be exuberant laughter set to words, an experiment in language, or an incidental collation of plays on a Scrabble board.the pet radish, shrunken, the third full collection of poetry from the inimitable Pearl Pirie, deals in the poetics of sound, language, and play. In true Pirie style, this fresh, quirky, and clear-seeing collection speaks in a range of styles and voices: From a military convoy of turtles, to a Kafkaesque conversation with a houseful, to the dissection of a fruit machine, Pirie offers oulipo found speech as it integrates and disintegrates, plays with and tumbles through language.Earning comparisons to Jenny Sampirisi's Croak and Leigh Kostilidis's Hypotheticals for their shared sense of linguistic playfulness and curiosity, the pet radish, shrunken will appeal to exploring minds who are ready to question language, society, and self while not minding a taint of grief and comedy that necessarily creeps in around the edges.
perigosas obsessões
by Bob Van Laerhoven Taís Paulilo BlauthEnxutos, tensos e perturbadores, os contos deste livro retratam as distorções do amor como fontes de violência. O belga flamengo Bob Van Laerhoven, vencedor do USA Best Book Award 2014 na categoria Mistério/Suspense e o prêmio Hercule Poirot por seu polêmico romance, Baudelaire’s Revenge, associa neste livro o destino de vários indivíduos a profundas mudanças sociais. A versão em inglês desta coletânea (publicada nos EUA pela The Anaphora Literary Press em 2015 sob o título Dangerous Obsessions) foi escolhida a “melhor coletânea de contos de 2015” pelo The San Diego Book Review. Van Laerhoven foi escritor de viagens em áreas de conflito de 1990 a 2003. Ecos dessa experiência ressoam nestes contos eletrizantes de conflito, que se passam na Argélia arrasada pela guerra dos anos 1950, em um campo de concentração para ciganos da Segunda Guerra, em uma cidade fronteiriça do Peru onde roubar é uma arte mortífera, na Libéria durante a guerra civil dos anos 1990, e no Congo belga durante o levante sangrento dos anos 1960. Omnia vincit amor: o amor vence tudo, diz o ditado. Menos as nossas Perigosas Obsessões.
pericolose ossessioni
by Bob Van Laerhoven Paolo SantiniSerrati, elettrici e sorprendenti, questi racconti hanno in comune il tema dell'amore malato come fonte di violenza. L'autore fiammingo Bob Van Laerhoven, vincitore dell'USA Best Book Award nella categoria Mystery/Suspense e dell' Hercule Poirot Prize con il suo controverso romanzo La vendetta di Baudelaire, intreccia i destini dei singoli individui con profondi cambiamenti sociali. Van Laerhoven è stato autore di viaggio in zone di guerra dal 1990 fino al 2003 e la sua esperienza riecheggia in questi racconti provocatori ed emozionanti, ambientati nell'Algeria degli anni cinquanta, devastata dalla guerra civile , in un campo di concentramento per zingari durante la seconda guerra mondiale, in una città di confine peruviana dove il furto è un'arte mortale, in Liberia durante la guerra civile degli anni novanta. Omina vincit amor - l'amore vince tutto - così si dice. Ma non le nostre pericolose ossessioni.
pasiones griegas
by Roberto Ampuero"No volvere. No me llames, ni me busques" es el inesperado mensaje que Bruno Garza encuentra una manana en la pantalla de su correo electronico. Fabiana, su mujer, ha decidido abandonarlo. Hasta ese dia, llevaba una existencia mas bien tranquila en una ciudad de la pradera del Midwest norteamericano. Contaba con una catedra sobre el pensamiento utopico y carecia de grandes emociones, salvo la de enganar a su esposa. Pero Bruno no esta dispuesto a perder a Fabiana. Decide realizar una busqueda desesperada, en la que no solo ira tras su mujer, sino tras la razon que explique su vida, la rutina en que cayo su matrimonio, los quiebres del amor y la pasion perdida. Fabiana, en cambio, huye de su marido y de si misma, de la sombra de su pasado y de su origen en una Centroamerica exotica y violenta, llevando dolorosos secretos familiares a cuestas. Una bella y remota isla griega es el sitio que ambos se han trazado, sin acuerdo previo, como probable lugar de reencuentro. Alli confluyen sus mejores evocaciones de lo que fue su amor, su pasion y su felicidad. Surge asi el paraiso al cual tal vez algun dia Bruno y Fabiana deberan llegar, o regresar.

by Maki Starfield Daniel Marchán"Pas assez d'amour" est la première collection de Maki Starfield, qui est une poétesse émergente importante.
