In this book, Jamie L. Brummitt upends long-held assumptions about religion and material culture in the early United States by recovering the forgotten history and presence of Protestant relics. This book will be an essential resource for scholars and students of early American history, religion, politics, art, and popular culture.

A poetic study in magical modes of connection over distance-how both friendship and reading are similar ways of being together while being alone. 

Written over several years of solitude, study, and transformation, the poems in Perennial Counterpart trace an evolving, self-questioning practice of thinking-in-poetry where long, reflective lines-evoking both prose &amp; photography-brush against elliptical, fractured modes of film and literary criticism. Anchored by the author's obsessive reading life, this is a book where lyric inquiry becomes its own form of company and the poem is written to change its writer through connections to a vast lineage of thought.

Perennial Counterpart

Haunting the Black Air

A vivid and musical rendering of the poetry of Catullus, whose passionate verses have captivated readers for centuries &nbsp; “Catullus’s verses still ring true, reminding readers that the habits of the heart haven’t changed in millennia.”—Publishers Weekly &nbsp; In the fourteenth century, a manuscript surfaced in Verona that had been lost for more than a thousand years: the poems of Catullus (c. 84–c. 54 BCE), considered by many to be one of the greatest poets who ever lived. These poems, with their beauty, wit, tenderness, and heartbreak, are still as alive and moving today as they were two thousand years ago. &nbsp; They are dense, subtle, witty, ardent, fearless, deeply uncensored, nasty (sometimes), petty (sometimes), and always beautiful. It’s especially his love poems that have earned readers’ admiration over the centuries; the joy and the savage self-inflicted torments that he underwent in his “miserable, disastrous love affair” have been shaped into poems that for honesty and emotional power have few parallels in world literature. &nbsp; Stephen Mitchell, who is known for bringing ancient texts to vibrant new life, has now translated Catullus’s poems for a new generation of readers. These are the first translations of Catullus to reimagine his rhythms in English and thus to let contemporary readers hear the formal beauty of his verse as well as its content, which Robert Lowell calls “much more raw and direct than anything in English.”

Collected Poems

A landmark collection of poems by Bambi Lake, the beloved (and bad-mouthed) icon of '70s counterculture in San Francisco 

Bambi Lake, the pioneering chanteuse and trans icon, left behind a legacy shimmering with glamour, grit, and raw emotion. Her self-proclaimed greatest talent was "making people cry," and her poetry does just that, capturing the longing, heartbreak, and defiance of a life lived on the edge of queer liberation. From San Francisco's underground stages to the streets where revolution brewed, Bambi's words echo with haunting beauty and bold survival. This volume collects her most poignant and provocative work, offering readers an intimate look into a trailblazer's soul. Bambi didn't just exist-she burned bright, and her voice still demands to be heard.

A collection of lyrical and experimental poems, Mermaid Theory redefines the page to visually and textually enact the struggles and celebrations of Arab-American femininity. 
 
In her second full-length collection, Maya Salameh offers a profound exploration of Arab-American identity, weaving together themes of myth, science, and cultural heritage. Salameh's innovative poetic forms blur the lines between ancient myth and psychological scholarship. 
 
Mermaid Theory boldly reimagines Arab-American womanhood in the modern military age, deploying psychological evaluation forms, ritual incantations, and other texts as visual lyric poems to deepen the reader's engagement. Salameh transcends simple narratives of shame or violence to offer a nuanced portrayal of identity, exploring both the privileges and heartbreaks of diasporic exile. Her multilingual poetry bridges Arabic and English, enriching the poems' sonic texture.&nbsp;

Mermaid Theory

A multilingual collection of prose poems, anchored by the structure of the spiral-literal, linguistic, cosmic. 

Starting with sargassum, a species of algae found on the ocean's surface, and spiraling outwards Small Sargasso Mountains / Pequeñas montañas de sargazo assembles language, memory, and matter in a current where the borders between poetry and prose, reading and writing, Spanish and English, experience and memory are eroded like a shoreline. Bringing together childhood memories, folklore, and contemporary world events, Antonio Ochoa seeks to erase boundaries between time and space as well as linguistic and cultural codes in an "oscillation between hemispheres." The result is a piece of profound personal and aesthetic ambition, one whose modes-diaristic, poetic, philosophical-recall those of Frankétienne, W. G. Sebald, and Édouard Glissant.

Later Life Letter

“A profound work of true beauty and mystery” ––Luis Alberto Urrea A fearless work from the prize-winning acclaimed author, composed over a period of some twenty years, Gravity is Elizabeth Rosner's profoundly searching account of her experience as the daughter of Holocaust survivors Composed over a period of some twenty years, Gravity is Elizabeth Rosner's profoundly searching account of her experience as the daughter of Holocaust survivors. In an extraordinarily powerful mix of poetry and prose, Rosner traces the earliest remembered resonances of her parents' past and her dawning awareness of the war history that colored her family home during her youth in Schenectady, New York. She recounts her false starts in raising the subject with her father (a survivor of Buchenwald concentration camp), his piecemeal revelations, and their eventual travels together to the sites of the nightmare in Germany. And she evokes, courageously and heart-wrenchingly, her search for identity against the gravitational pull of her parents' experience and the traditional upbringing they've given her. Like Rosner's celebrated novels, Gravity plumbs the deep complexities of inherited grief, but here the author discloses, with breathtaking candor and sensitivity, "what it felt like to grow up inside my family." Also featuring spellbinding artwork by Lola Fraknoi, these astonishing pages remind us that history happens at home and that the past is something we all embody, knowingly or not.

Gravity

swoon/swu?n/verb1. faint, especially from extreme emotion. 'The girl swooned and had to lie down'2. be overcome with adoration, or other strong emotion. 'She was swooning over Him'Etymology traces to the Old English word 'geswogen', meaning 'overcome'On the eve of her wedding, a young woman wrestles with transitions: from adolescence to adulthood, from longing to holding, from womb to birth, from life to death, from darkness to enlightenment, from waking to dreaming, from love to grief. There is only one choice: death or change. In 2023 Imogen Wade won the National Poetry Prize with her poem 'The Time I Was Mugged in New York City', gaining her a wide audience. Finally, we have her stunning debut collection, Girl, Swooning, in which Wade looks at womanhood, love, death and religious experience. Distinctive, beguiling and compelling from the start, Girl, Swooning marks the emergence of a thrilling new voice.
