August, September, October
August, September, October is a deep, vulnerable meditation on fatherhood, time passing, and survival in a world reshaped by crisis. In two long, diaristic poems and a constellation of lyrical reflections that accrue into a day book of sorts, this collection traces the daily experiences of a poet—someone very much, though not exactly, like Craig Morgan Teicher—through the emotional and existential terrain of caregiving during the COVID-19 lockdown. In the title poem, “August September October,” the speaker tends to his medically fragile son during a harrowing stretch of illness and hospitalization while pondering the deathbed book of Irish poet Ciaran Carson. The second extended poem, "Midsummer Days,” takes off from Bernadette Mayer’s classic Midwinter Day, following the speaker as he fails to write a memoir and climbs his way back to poetry and toward faith in a world overwhelmed by upheaval. Surrounding these central poems are shorter poems that meditate on grim games, the music of Sonny Rollins, memories of being a young writer, the tyranny of TV screens, and the insane politics of our time. August, September, October offers a profoundly human snapshot of a family navigating disability, grief, and fleeting hope, all while trying to keep the imagination alive in an age of catastrophe.
Drifting Dragons 17
Take to the skies with the scrappy crew of the airship Quin Zaza, as they hunt the fantastical giants that rule their world... DRAGONS! The daily routine aboard an airborne draking vessel springs to vivid life in this exquisitely crafted tale in the tradition of the lush, transporting fantasy of Hayao Miyazaki. Part travelogue, part imaginary cookbook, and part otherworldly slice of life, Drifting Dragons tells the stories of the Quin Zaza and the colorful band of misfits that makes up her crew.
Taking Flight
No matter where you started,leaving was hard - so was the journey. And when you finally reached safety,you were hungry, thirsty, worn-out. Ready for rest. Taking Flight offers an intimate look at being a refugee by following three different children. From the mountains of Tibet, the cotton fields in Syria, and a city in Ukraine, families pack their bags and say goodbye to their homes as they leave in search of safety. Although they don’t know what the future holds - maybe an extended time in a refugee camp or a long journey to a place with a new language - they hope that it will be a place they can call home. Told in second person, directly addressing a displaced child, and with deeply evocative illustrations from Nicolo Carozzi, Taking Flight is a timely and necessary story that offers gentle reassurance and hope for readers.
Gods & Comics
Seventeen-year-old junior class vice president Grace Bak has her entire future all mapped out with plans to become a doctor like her parents. But the weight of Grace’s own daunting expectations leads to debilitating panic attacks that have made her a virtual outcast at school, even to her longtime friend and crush. To make matters worse, her grandmother and only real support system has just died. Halmeoni was the glue that kept Grace’s little family together, especially after she and her dad lost her mother to cancer when Grace was too little to have many memories of her. To cope with the grief of another loss, Grace starts a webcomic inspired by the Korean myths her Halmeoni used to tell her as a child. In Sun God, Grace spins the tale of Korean god Haemosu and his love Yuhwa, but with a twist - the two gods are trapped in the bodies of teenagers and, worst of all, cursed to attend high school. Grace never expected her comic to go viral, but it has, and the new fandom has somehow conjured the real Haemosu. Now it’s up to Grace to get him back home. But when she starts to fall for Hae, sending him home is the last thing she wants to do. More troubling, Hae isn’t the only god to suddenly reappear. Hae’s sworn enemy - also brought back to the mortal realm by Grace’s comic - is set on destroying Hae, all while infecting humanity with a deadly disease. As an epic battle between god’s looms, Hae is without his powers, so it may fall to Grace to fight back against a vengeful god hell-bent on punishing anyone who gets in his way.

Outsmarting Cancer
A comprehensive guide to understanding and preventing cancer by addressing its root causes. Outsmarting Cancer reframes one of the most pressing medical challenges of our time: how to prevent cancer. In this timely and accessible book, physician and medical researcher Adam Barsouk, MD, presents a sweeping examination of cancer's true origins—biological, environmental, dietary, infectious, industrial, occupational, and behavioral—and makes a compelling case for why cancer prevention must become a central priority in public and personal health. With personal stories from his clinical practice and the latest research, Dr. Barsouk explains why more people are getting diagnosed with cancer—and at younger ages—than ever before. This book explores a wide range of overlooked and misunderstood risk factors, as well as how inequities in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention disproportionately impact underserved populations. Unlike typical cancer books that focus narrowly on diet or organ-specific disease, Outsmarting Cancer takes a comprehensive, systems-level view, urging readers to look beyond the symptoms and target the root causes. Dr. Barsouk explores the role of genetic predisposition to cancer alongside environmental, lifestyle, and public policy influences that may contribute to developing the disease. With rigorous scientific insight, he offers real-world, evidence-based strategies to reduce cancer risk in practical, meaningful ways. Honest, urgent, and empowering, Outsmarting Cancer challenges readers to rethink how we talk about cancer and how we can reduce its burden before it begins.

Song for a Hard-Hit People
A story of struggle and perseverance from an Eastern Kentucky woman who answered Florence Reese''s timeless question, "Which side are you on?" by organizing her people with love and class solidarity.Activist and organizer Beth Howard invites readers to trace her transformational story of growing up in rural Appalachia facing economic hardship, patriarchal violence, and the impact of extractive industries to become a leading organizer of working-class antiracism, engaging in the street protests of the Black Lives Matter movement and the larger resistance to Donald Trump and MAGA racists.In this deeply personal story Howard tells us about how her place and people, especially her dad, shaped her. She also details a political and systems analysis that shows how billionaires hold power by using racism to convince working-class white people to side with whiteness instead of their class. Howard makes the case that white Appalachians and rural white working-class people have a shared interest in, and a powerful history of, being in class solidarity with Black and Brown people. Howard delves into the rich traditions of organization and resistance in Appalachia, like the ten thousand interracial miners of the so-called Red Neck Army (known by the red bandanas worn around their necks), who in 1921 refused to be segregated and waged the largest working-class insurrection since the Civil War.Howard''s story is particular but not uncommon. Too many of us face the same struggle for the basic necessities of life: somewhere decent to live, good food to eat, health care that doesn''t break the bank, jobs that don''t kill us. As she reminds us, we haven’t got a chance—unless we organize. In the best of storytelling traditions, her prose is at once heart-breaking and inspiring, insightful and provocative, and filled to the brim with courageous humanity.

Navigating worry, anger, sadness and disappointment, Mamus and her son fly their kite together.
