  A breathtaking poetry collection on hope, heart, and heritage from the most prominent and promising Black poets and writers of our time, edited by Why Fathers Cry at Night author and #1 New York Times bestselling author Kwame Alexander.

Featuring work from well-loved poets such as Rita Dove, Jericho Brown, Warsan Shire, Ross Gay, Tracy K. Smith, Terrance Hayes, Morgan Parker, and Nikki Giovanni, This Is the Honey is a rich and abundant offering of language from the poets giving voice to generations of resilient joy, “each incantation,” as Mahogany L. Browne puts it in her titular poem, is “a jubilee of a people dreaming wildly.”   This essential collection, in the tradition of Dudley Randall’s The Black Poets and E. Ethelbert Miller’s In Search of Color Everywhere, contains poems exploring joy, love, origin, race, resistance, and praise. Jacqueline A.Trimble likens “Black woman joy” to indigo, tassels, foxes, and peacock plumes. Tyree Daye, Nate Marshall, and Elizabeth Acevedo reflect on the meaning of “home” through food, from Cuban rice and beans to fried chicken gizzards. Clint Smith and Cameron Awkward-Rich enfold us in their intimate musings on love and devotion. From a “jewel in the hand” (Patricia Spears Jones) to “butter melting in small pools” (Elizabeth Alexander), This Is the Honey drips with poignant and delightful imagery, music, and raised fists.   Fresh, memorable, and deeply moving, this definitive collection a must-have for any lover of language and a gift for our time.

  Lifescapes - A Biographer's...

  "A lyrical, radiant memoir." —Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review 
  Ann Wroe, obituaries editor for The Economist, reflects on the art and impossibility of capturing life on the page. Through her experiences and through people she has known, studied, or merely glimpsed in windows, she movingly explores what makes a life and how that life lingers after in this breathtaking combination of poetry, memoir, and observation. 
  'What is life?' asked the poet Shelley, and he could not come up with an answer. Scientists, too, for all their understanding of how life manifests, thrives and evolves, have still not answered that fundamental question. Yet biographers and obituarists continue to corral lives in a few columns, or a few hundred pages, aware all the time how fleeting and elusive their subject is. 
  In this dazzlingly original blend of poetry, biography, observation, and memoir, Wroe explores the experience of trying to capture the essence of a person. Animated by her rare imagination, eye for the telling detail, and the wit, beauty and clarity of her writing, Lifescapes is a luminous, deeply personal answer to Shelley's question.

  The Milk Job - An Allegory to...

  Samuel Kilroy

  The Milk Job is a contemporary poetic retelling of the biblical Book of Job, inspired by the author’s own struggle to cope with personal tragedy and suffering – a struggle that is shared by all of humanity.  Using the literary device of the allegory and following the tradition of classical narrative poetry, Samuel Kilroy tells the tale of a hapless modern day Job, a tenant dairy farmer who overnight loses all he owns and loves in this world – his farm, his cows, and his milk. Like the biblical Job he endeavors to make sense of the calamity that befalls him as he goes through the emotional turmoil that is common to all humans who experience great loss. He seeks an explanation for his misfortunes from his landlord (“His Lordship,” as he refers to him), and ultimately finds a way to move on when an answer, which at first seems illusory, is provided.This carefully crafted, concise retelling of the Book of Job provides a fresh take on the meaning of Job’s suffering.  It will appeal to those who value biblical contemplation and to those who enjoy storytelling through poetry, but, above all, it is shared in the hope that this version of Job’s travails and fortitude will provide meaningful comfort and guidance to those suffering through their own personal trials.

  One Language

  One Language is a remarkable debut collection. From the perspective of a female photojournalist, these concise but complex and insightful poems draw on first-hand experience of war to explore how damage is generated and perpetuated. The book's title expresses the contradiction between the lingua franca of photography and the equally universal language of violence. One Language comes to an understanding of personal history and global conflict in poetry that is as immediate and evocative as the most urgent of dispatches.
