Nebulas


Poems that look at our little world from space In Nebulas, Meghan Kemp-Gee positions these giant clouds of glowing space dust, often the ‘nursery’ where new stars and planets are born, in an interconnected web of lyric form. As dazzling masses of matter and energy, fleeting, exploding and collapsing, creating connection across incomprehensible distances, these poems use constellations and light-years to reconfigure how art, mortality, loss, death, and afterlives are miraculous echoes and patterns in a gorgeous, chaotic universe. Included in this dazzling collection are an extraterrestrial fox who works at a gas station, meditations about living across from a hospital during the Omicron surge, weathering climate disasters in North Vancouver, strange deep-sea ecosystems, conversations with a space-god who may be Walt Whitman, and multiple retellings of a Zen koan about tigers and strawberries. Here, respiration and repetition – literally, verse – acts as an outstanding formal feature, a way of creating connections and shared breath across spacetime.

Before Disability


A literary, legal, and cultural history of disability, race, and citizenship between the Revolution and the Civil WarThe history of disability rights is often told as a recent one, but it is not. In the wake of the American Revolution, many of the differences we now call disabilities could be accommodated into citizenship—and for some even exemplified its promises. By the antebellum period, however, disability was becoming a powerful, racialized tool of civic exclusion and, by the century's end, a target for eugenic elimination. In Before Disability, Sari Altschuler tells the story of how this dramatic transformation occurred. Before Disability is a literary, legal, and cultural history of the relationship between disability, race, and citizenship. It shows how disability helped to shape US citizenship and, in turn, how the formation of US citizenship shaped disability. There were two key drivers of the transformation from accommodation to exclusion and eugenics: the difficulty aligning the reality with the rhetoric of civic inclusion and the co-opting of mental and physical difference as evidence in debates about Black citizenship. The stigmatizing ways race came together with mental and physical difference to deny Americans rights were, however, not inevitable. Before citizenship was federally defined in the late 1860s, Americans were still working out what it meant. They used the narrative forms available to them—from melodrama and the gothic to the slave narrative and the criminal confession—to do this work. While possibilities narrowed by the antebellum era, Americans continued to imagine, articulate, and enact broader definitions. As we seek to imagine the relationship between disability and citizenship more equitably and expansively for ourselves, we should begin by remembering that many disabled and nondisabled Americans before us did, too.

Seal of Rome


Every subject serves Rome. Only a few can save it. An aristocrat. A slave. A pair of disgraced soldiers. And a legendary general. Five strangers. One secret war. When an elite gladiator defies death in the arena, his shocking victory earns him more than glory—it draws him into the heart of a secret mission that could change the fate of the Empire. Hardened by brutality and betrayal, Jason is recruited into a covert task force to stop an insidious coup from toppling Rome from within. Joining him are Mallia, a senator’s daughter suffocating in privilege; Argus and Tacitus, ex-legionnaires cast out by the very army they swore to serve; and Severus, a retired general and the Emperor’s most trusted ally. Together, they are reborn as the Septem Fideles—seven loyal ones—and sworn to protect Rome from the shadows. As rebellion stirs and enemies close in, loyalties are tested, forbidden love ignites, and ancient powers threaten to awaken. The Empire's fate rests on the shoulders of five outcasts who must fight as one… or fall divided. Seal of Rome is a sweeping tale of heroes and villains, betrayal and sacrifice, forbidden love and unrelenting suspense—set against the brutal beauty of an imagined Ancient Rome at the height of its glory… and on the brink of ruin.
