  Red House Rising

  Imagine you’re listening to the acclaimed WWII melodrama, Casablanca. But instead of Rick’s café in Vichy-occupied North Africa, you’re in the South Pacific, trapped on Truk Lagoon – island stronghold of the Japanese. Well, that’s exactly where this romantic World War II audiobook, Red House Rising, begins its story. It’s July, 1941. War is already raging in Europe. Japan has swallowed up Korea, and now terrorizes China. Pearl Harbor is about to explode. And three women, an ace transport pilot, a Chinese Intelligence officer and a local Island leader, must join forces to rescue young girls sexually enslaved by the Japanese Navy and its ruthless secret police, the Tokkeitai. As World War Two roils the Pacific, the story continues in the islands, in Hawaii, in China and Japan. There’s flying and spying and action galore. And the story calls out the fascism, racism and misogyny of that dark time. But this audiobook is most definitely about lovers – star-crossed or otherwise – finding their way in a world at war.

  The Generosity

  Luci Shaw

  "Rejoice, readers, as you receive the generosity of Luci Shaw's 76 new grace-infused parable poems. Autobiography once more merges with theology as these poems illuminate in splendored natural detail  how the seasons of creation  parallel and explain the seasons of her  life as a poet. Again and again, these poems shower us with glorious epiphanies from the natural world as it reflects God's generosity at work such as "spring's impossible news of green." These poems confirm that in poetry as in faith "ripeness is all." Like Wordsworth, Luci is celebrated for being a highly gifted landscape poet whose works are rich in imagery from the physical world—meadows filled with seeds, flowers, and also poems which are like "shoots" in Luci's writing life. Animals, too, great and small (beetles, cricket, and voles to bears and whales) play a major role in Luci's poetics of creation; God is likened to a great bear who leaves paw tracks for us to follow. In their deep faith and vibrant colors and designs, the poems in Generosity might be considered Luci's Book of Kells. We need to be like Luci's father who carried her poems in his briefcase to show his friends." —Philip C. Kolin, Author, Reaching Forever: Poems; Distinguished Professor of English (Emeritus), University of Southern Mississippi

  Fragment of My Madness: A Symphony of Words and Surrealism 
  "I once held dreams and aspirations... but there was no genie within the lamp to grant them, so I crafted these words instead, to be a light." 
  Fragment of My Madness is not merely a book of poetry; it is a profound visual and emotional journey that bridges the gap between the spoken word and the silent canvas. In this unique journey, Yousef invites you into the world of "Adam," a soul navigating the storms of fate, loss, and longing. 
  While the title suggests a descent into "madness," it is actually a climb toward the light. Through a mesmerizing blend of Surrealist Art and evocative verses, the author uses the symbolism of the Lantern to illuminate the shadows of a shattered soul. Here, "madness" is the only logical response to a world that defies reason, and the "Lantern" is the faith that guides the traveler back to peace. 
  From the "French Perfume" of a memory to the "Final Moments" on a hospital bed, each page is a heartbeat. The surrealist illustrations act as a window into a subconscious that refused to be silenced, turning pain into a creative rebellion. 
  Whether you are drawn to the depth of modern Arabic literature or the haunting beauty of surrealist imagery, this book offers a sanctuary for the soulful. It is a testament that while the traveler may depart, the light he carried and the music he played remain eternal.  
  Narrated by the author himself, this audiobook adds a raw, personal dimension to the verses, making every heartbeat audible. 
  Experience a journey where "Madness" becomes a Lantern, and the heart sees what the eyes cannot.

  LONGLISTED FOR THE 2023 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR POETRY 
   
   
   
  "Where are you from . . . ? No—where are you from from?" It's a question every Asian American gets asked as part of an incessant chorus saying you'll never belong here, you're a perpetual foreigner, you'll always be seen as an alien, an object, or a threat. 
   
   
   
  Monica Youn's From From brilliantly evokes the conflicted consciousness of deracination. If you have no core of "authenticity," no experience of your so-called homeland, how do you piece together an Asian American identity out of Westerners' ideas about Asians? Your sense of yourself is part stereotype, part aspiration, part guilt. In this dazzling collection, one sequence deconstructs the sounds and letters of the word "deracinations" to create a sonic landscape of micro- and macroaggressions, assimilation, and self-doubt. A kaleidoscopic personal essay explores the racial positioning of Asian Americans and the epidemic of anti-Asian hate. Several poems titled "Study of Two Figures" anatomize and dissect the Asian other: Midas the striving, nouveau-riche father; Dr. Seuss and the imaginary daughter Chrysanthemum-Pearl he invented while authoring his anti-Japanese propaganda campaign; Pasiphaë, mother of the minotaur, and Sado, the eighteenth-century Korean prince, both condemned to containers allegorical and actual.
