  Things a Bright Boy Can Do

  In Michael Chang's latest, all the world's a vaudeville stage, and this poet is its jester with a knife. 
  Like an elongated diss track, Chang's poems go from flirty to righteous, wrathful to lackadaisical, all in the span of one page.  The  titans  of  pop  culture  and  poetry  wrestle  at  Chang’s  whimsy, their poems a series of flings and retorts at the end of a late-night spree.  
  Like a compendium of American poetics, this collection breezily changes style and mood as easily as a prom queen smiles beneath the crown. With nods to O’Hara and Ashbery, the poems in Things a Bright Boy Can Do flit from the sewage of Americana to the heights of ecstatic experience. Each poem is a playground meant to delight readers before they skip along.  
  With each successive book, Michael Chang showcases a poet at home in the twenty-first century; nothing is too silly or too morbid for the page. When  reading  Chang’s  poetry,  the  madness  of  interpreting  the  social media age suddenly makes sense. You can’t help but join in on the heckling, sticking your tongue out in the face of our strange world. 
  “Michael Chang is back, with their signature irrepressibility: the voice that bubbles with endlessly exuberant wit, encyclopedic pop culture references, playful orthography, and intense emotion. Oh, yes – these poems are in their feelings! Are you here for poetry that can lure Superman, Dolly Parton, and Prince allusions together? Are you up for parataxis with a vengeance? If wordplay and irreverence are music to your ears, tune into Things a Bright Boy Can Do.” – Evie Shockley, author of Suddenly We 
  “Michael Chang’s Things a Bright Boy Can Do pushes and pushes, and then pushes some more. It’s provocative, fearless, and relentless, unafraid to reinvent tone, grammar, and just about everything else that dares to enter the path of Chang’s perception. Things a Bright Boy Can Do is a ride on the back of a new modern language.” – Victoria Chang, author of The Trees Witness Everything

  Setting out on the "vacation of a lifetime" Marissa Chabot is well-provisioned with sunblock, rum, and a stack of good books. Being one of the founders of Finders Keepers, the successful, high-tech "soul-mate matching service," she knows that vacation romances are hopeless. 
   
   
   
  When Linda Bartok—tall, dark, and beautiful—sweeps her off her feet anyway, Marissa yields to the magic of a storybook rescue, moonlit walks on the beach, and longed-for whispers of passion. Though it hardly seems possible that the Amazonian, adventurous Linda could be truly interested in a desk-bound computer geek, the most erotic encounters of Marissa's life complete her surrender. 
   
   
   
  Vacations end. Real life resumes. Waiting for the phone to ring, Marissa wonders if what she had seen in Linda's eyes could have possibly been true. Had it been a vacation romance? Was she going to end up "losers weepers"? 
   
   
   
  Finders Keepers, the quest for the perfect mate in the twenty-first century, joins Karin Kallmaker's Just Like That and her other incomparable novels about lesbian love, lust, and laughter.

  Sequel to Office Hours
  
  Liam always did what he was supposed to do: stay out of trouble and get good grades. He thought college would be his chance to go wild, but instead of partying, he spent his first semester frustrated, flustered, and crushing hard on the one man he couldn't have -- his brilliant, sarcastic professor, Blaise Levin. Now the term's over, Blaise isn't his teacher anymore, and Liam has an unexpected chance to make his fantasies a reality.
  
  Blaise has built a life on rules and routines: respected academic, no risks, no drama. But this Christmas, he finds himself alone in San Francisco, with nothing to do except research ... until his former problem student offers to show him around. Liam's charming and unexpectedly daring, and Blaise can't stop wondering what it will feel like to finally break the rules. Especially when Liam shows up with chocolate syrup and a very unacademic holiday agenda.
