Summary

"I'm a fabulist by trade," warns Gabriel Noone, a late-night radio storyteller, as he begins to untangle the skeins of his tumultuous life: his crumbling ten-year love affair, his disaffection from his Southern father, his longtime weakness for ignoring reality. Gabriel's most sympathetic listener is Pete Lomax, a thirteen-year-old fan in Wisconsin whose own horrific past has left him wise and generous beyond his years. But when this virtual father-son relationship is rocked by doubt, a desperate search for the truth ensues. Welcome to the complex, vertiginous world of The Night Listener.
Available since: 10/06/2010.

    Before they were Doms…Before Ryan was Angel…Before there was Jordan… 
    Delhi, 1999 — On assignment in India, photographer Ryan Morgan has one focus—his job. Then hot bachelor Dante James quite literally stumbles over him, and suddenly Ryan’s not concentrating on anything except him. 
    From the start, the chemistry between them sizzles. From Delhi to Seattle to Pittsburgh, the chance encounter blooms into something much deeper. But as the two young photographers learn who they are as men and as a couple, Ryan worries Dante will learn who he is. Because if his ex-wife and ex-boyfriend couldn’t live with him, what makes him think Dante can? Or that he’ll want to? 
    Before There Were Three: Angel & Dante is the prequel to (and is best read after) Out of Focus.

    A New York Times New-in-Poetry feature 
    Marlanda Dekine’s debut collection is a holy, radical unlearning and reclamation of self. What does it mean to be a Gullah-Geechee descendant from a rural place where a third of the nation’s founding wealth was harvested by trafficked West and Central Africans? Dekine’s poems travel across age and time, signaling that both the past and future exist in the present. Through erasure and persona, Dekine reimagines intergenerational traumas and calls institutions from the Works Progress Administration narratives to modern-day museums to task. 
    Beyond gospel music, fear, and the stories of generations past, Thresh & Hold offers magic, healing, and innovative pathways to manifest intimacy. Dekine remembers, remakes, and brings forth their many selves, traveling far in order to deeply connect to a spiritual home within and all around them, calling: “I am listening to Spirit. I am not dying today.”  
    Marlanda Dekine is the winner of the 2021 New Southern Voices Poetry Prize, judged by Gabrielle Calvocoressi.

    “Razes, Razes fight the dark … Razes, Razes, are the mark …” 
    The Raze gang have taken on corruption. They have sheltered the weak. They have turned the snatcher world on its head. But now they must face the consequences. 
    Born to protect snatcher capitalism, The Hunt are coming for Raze. The Hunt are coming for his disciples. And The Hunt are coming for his boyfriend. 
    Book two in the 'Raze Warfare' series. A gritty urban backdrop, gang warfare, a vigilante hero, a corrupt system, and a bisexual awakening. Join the action and enjoy the ride. 
    Interview with the Author: 
    Q. What could readers compare the ‘Raze Warfare’ series to? 
    A. It has a similar tone to ‘The Outsiders,’ with a gang like a family of very different people who need each other. 
    Q. What makes this series different? 
    A. Girls are kick ass members of the gang. Sexualities are open (there’s a bisexual triad romance – why choose?). There are diverse racial backgrounds. There’s some gender bending. The enemy is more covert, but widespread – a corrupt underground system. And the gang members enforce vigilante justice, while battling their own demons – ranging from trauma to learning difficulties. 
    Q. What do you love most about this series? 
    A. I love that Kiddo and Raze are so different – opposites attract. Their deepening, first time gay romance felt so intimate and sweet and real to write.I especially loved including so many diverse kinds of people without feeling the need to centre the story on their race/gender/sexuality/difficulites, because people are people. I loved having them there, as they are, rolling with the punches as people do – rather than the storyline centring on any stereotypes.

    Three compelling volumes of poetry from a feminist icon, poet, and author of the groundbreaking novel Mrs. Stevens Hears the Mermaids Singing.A Durable Fire: This collection borrows its title from Sir Walter Raleigh, who wrote, “Love is a durable fire / In the mind ever burning.” It is a fitting sentiment for a collection on solitude, wherein the author finds herself full of emotion even in seclusion. A Durable Fire is a transformative work by a masterful poet.  A Grain of Mustard Seed: In this beautiful collection, Sarton explores dark and destructive femininity. She writes of “Crude power that forges a balance / Between hate and love,” finding an amalgam of dark and light within a single act. These graceful and nuanced poems join timeless ideas and specific moments in history.  A Private Mythology: To celebrate her fiftieth birthday, Sarton embarked on a pilgrimage around the world. Traveling through Japan, India, and Greece, she captured her spiritual discoveries in this vivid collection of poetry. Arresting images and meditations on the differences between East and West are rendered in this “colorful, polished” winner of the Emily Clark Balch Prize (Kirkus Reviews).
