Summary

In "New Amazonia," Elizabeth Burgoyne Corbett crafts a visionary narrative that intertwines themes of feminism, utopia, and social reform. Set in a distant future where women have established a thriving society devoid of patriarchal structures, the novel employs a blend of speculative fiction and allegory, reflecting the burgeoning feminist discourse of the late 19th century. Corbett's meticulous prose and imaginative world-building create a striking contrast to the Victorian norms of her era, inviting readers to envision a society where gender roles are subverted and women can flourish as autonomous beings. Elizabeth Burgoyne Corbett, an author and suffragette from England, used her literary talents to champion social progress and women's rights. Her own experiences and convictions influenced her writing, as she was an active participant in the feminist movements of her time. Corbett's insights into the societal constructs shaping women's lives provided a rich backdrop for her exploration of gender equality and emancipation, making "New Amazonia" not only a narrative of escape but also a profound critique of contemporary gender dynamics. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in feminist literature and utopian storytelling. Corbett's innovative vision offers not only an escape into a radically different world but also a strong call to reflect on the possibilities of an egalitarian future. Dive into the pages of "New Amazonia" to discover a compelling and thought-provoking narrative that resonates with ongoing dialogues about gender and society.

    "A captivating ode to the constant work of becoming—and understanding—oneself." PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

It follows Black transmasc, southern writer Jasper as they fumble through an awkward Memphis upbringing in the 90s and early aughts, an insufferable Nashville PWI, and a fierce NYC queer awakening, all with a poignant throughline on Black exceptionalism, focused on Jasper's wildly agonizing first publishing experience with JUNIPER LEAVES.

    Rotten Minerva lays out a new framework for being “spiritual” while existing in this crazy material reality.  
    In it, author Kelli Hastings sets forth her personal ideology of life with the help of movie quotes, scientific references, and citations to religious scriptures - all interspersed with hilarious stories of her own misadventures on the spiritual path. The book is arranged into four sections. In the first section, Love, Kelli lays out her philosophy and invites the reader to undertake their own personal inward quest. In the second section, Practice, she sets forth the practical means and methods for this personal quest. In the third section, Magic, she gets into some of the strange and magical things that can happen (and have happened) during our personal quests. In the last chapter, Freedom, she talks about how to bring about true freedom; which does not come from external circumstances.  
    So be an unruly warrior and embark on your spiritual quest for freedom and authenticity!
