The First Year

WINNER OF THE BOLLINGEN PRIZE COMING SOON AS A MAJOR FILM FROM ACADEMY AWARD-WINNING DIRECTOR CHRISTOPHER NOLAN This beloved, classic translation of The Odyssey by the renowned translator and poet Robert Fitzgerald has sold more than a million copies, and now appears in a gorgeous deluxe edition with a new foreword from Laura Slatkin and an afterword by A. E. Stallings. Robert Fitzgerald's translation of Homer's Odyssey is the best and best-loved modern translation of the greatest of all epic poems. Since 1961, this Odyssey has sold more than two million copies, and has long been the standard translation for generations of students and poets. Picador is delighted to publish a new edition of this classic work with a new cover, an attractive, collectible package, and a new scholarly introduction and afterword that will connect Fitzgerald's Homer to ever more students and general readers. Fitzgerald's supple verse is ideally suited to the story of Odysseus's long journey back to his wife and home after the Trojan War. Homer's tale of love, adventure, food and drink, sensual pleasure, and mortal danger reaches the English-language reader in all its glory. Of the many translations published since World War II, only Fitzgerald's has won admiration as a great poem in English. The noted classicist Laura Slatkin explains the depth of his engagement with the complex and timeless themes of Homer, while the award-winning poet A. E. Stallings expounds on the gift of his lyrical, ageless poetry that has brought Homer and Odysseus to life for millions of readers of every age. This edition also features a map, a glossary of names and places, a list for further reading, and Fitzgerald's postscript.

This is the best-loved modern translation of the Odyssey, and the only one admired as a great poem in English. Fitzgerald's supple verse is ideally suited to the story of Odysseus' long journey home after the Trojan War. Homer's tale of love, adventure, sensual pleasure, and danger reaches the English-language reader in all its glory.

All the Cursed Creatures

A hands-on guide for poets who want to make work beyond the page. How can a poem become an image, a soundscape, a performance, an erasure, a tactile object, or a digital encounter? A Writer's Guide to Multimodal Poetry brings together poets, visual artists, editors, publishers, and teachers working across the expanding field of multimodal poetics. Pairing examples of artists' work with craft essays and writing exercises, this collection gives readers practical ways to combine poetry with visual art, sound, music, movement, archive, found materials, digital media, and performance. Contributors share the tools, choices, and compositional processes behind their work, from blending text and image to experimenting with rhythm, translating across media, using erasure and collage, and designing interactive or embodied reading experiences. Rather than treating multimodal poetry as an add-on to traditional forms, this book shows how medium itself can become part of the poem's thinking. The essays explore audio-modality, image-text hybrids, musical influence, alphanumeric translation, lyrical improvisation, neo-concrete poetry, archival practice, found poetry, mythic reimagining, tactile experience, and more. Designed for writers, artists, students, and teachers, A Writer's Guide to Multimodal Poetry offers both inspiration and instruction: a field-defining introduction to multimodal poetics and a practical invitation to make poems that move through sight, sound, touch, space, and screen.

An in-depth exploration of the network of agencies involved in policing child pornography—and what the future of security and care looks like. Facing the Child investigates the technocratic expertise in the policing of child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Mitali Thakor argues that CSAM has come to be framed as primarily a digital problem, to be resolved digitally, thereby unleashing a new form of corporatized policing helmed by global technology companies. Ambitious in scope, this multi-sited global ethnography draws on 4 years of original fieldwork and interviews with technology companies in the US, the United Nations in Bangkok, Thai and Dutch NGOs, and law enforcement in the US and the Netherlands. The book argues that in the 2010s, a network of technology companies, NGOs, and law enforcement created the notion of a “virtual child” in need of techno-solutionist saving to justify a vast expansion of surveillance technologies. The book examines how pervasive myths of child abuse online were exploited to serve the aims of seemingly disparate groups, from Christian neo-abolitionists to NGOs conducting virtual sting operations. It is this complex relationship between the care and securitization needed to fix the child victim as an object of data, concern, and rescue that the book explores.

Facing the Child

The book "Smoky the Cowhorse" by Will James chronicles the full life of a remarkable horse. It begins with Smoky's birth and early experiences as a wild range horse in the American West, detailing his interactions within the herd, encounters with predators, and the initial human intervention of branding. The narrative then follows Smoky's breaking and training by the skilled cowboy Clint on the Rocking R ranch. Despite initial resistance, Smoky develops a deep trust and affection for Clint, demonstrating exceptional loyalty and intelligence by rescuing an injured Clint. This bond solidifies, and Clint secures Smoky as his personal horse, with Smoky excelling as a cowhorse during roundups. However, their partnership is tragically interrupted when Smoky is stolen by a horse thief. Clint embarks on a relentless search for his beloved horse. After his theft, Smoky endures a period of severe abuse, transforming him into "The Cougar," a legendary, man-hating bucking horse in rodeos. His spirit eventually wanes, leading to his sale to a livery stable where he is renamed "Cloudy" and suffers neglect and harsh conditions, nearly dying. He finds brief solace with a kind old man before being sold again for grueling farm work. The story culminates with Clint unknowingly encountering the emaciated, broken horse. Recognizing the legendary bucking horse's past, Clint rescues Smoky, nursing him back to health over a harsh winter. Smoky slowly recovers, regaining his vitality and eventually returning to Clint, signifying the enduring power of their unique bond and the horse's complete redemption.

Why do organizations keep causing harm? And how do we cure toxic cultures? "A timely, rigorous, and deeply unsettling book."—Amy C. Edmondson, Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management, Harvard Business School, and author of The Fearless Organization Not a week goes by with out yet another major organizational scandal: Open AI’s agents going rogue, Volkswagen’s emissions cheating, Boeing’s persistent safety issues, endemic police misconduct at the Oakland PD, and sexual abuse at yet another Roman Catholic Church. So why do do organizations keep causing these harms? Benjamin van Rooij and Nicholas Lord argue that to truly understand and address the impacts of dysfunctional organizations we must look beyond leadership and understand the deeper problems in the organization itself. To do so, Toxic uses dozens of in-depth case studies to connect the dots between various scandals and illustrate the deeper toxic patterns within organizations that lead to them. Each chapter recounts compelling stories of individuals caught within these toxic systems and addresses urgent societal challenges such as environmental degradation, the opioid epidemic, the harms of social media, and police abuse. Stories include:<ul><li>Facebook sought to grow from 1 billion to 5 billion users, leading it to enter Myanmar’s volatile ethnic context without having the knowledge or capacity to do proper content moderation, and thus contributing to genocide.</li><li>Don Parus, a BP engineer made an all-out effort to warn company leaders to invest in safety, just months before a major explosion killed fiteen and injured hundreds at its Texas City Refinery.</li><li>Keith Batt, a rookie at the Oakland Police Department, was made to witness, condone and participate in falsifying arrest records, planting evidence, and even in unsanctioned violence, all within two weeks on the job.</li></ul>Revealing, accessible, engaging, and unsettling, Toxic breaks down the core characteristics of toxic organizations and shows readers how to recognize and address toxicity in their everyday lives.
