  White Ghosts, the debut collection by poet and novelist Katie Hale, traces maternal lines, and the legacies of slavery and whiteness interwoven into the fabric of America, through revealing, unflinching poems. Travelling deep into an intimate history that spans both sides of the Atlantic, Hale unravels the language haunting those narratives we choose to tell in official versions – through museum labels and civic statues – and in handed-down stories.
  Transformational and challenging, these sharply-detailed poems interrogate the bare bones of silence, complicity, difficult inheritances and racial constructs. Via wagon routes or interstates, on desert highways or in the landscapes of northern England, through nature and through human culture, questions of ownership and power are writ into the journey. Through four hundred years of female migration, the poems in White Ghosts use art, music, and lyrical reworking of the curated space, to address white guilt: what is lost through generations, and what is passed on?

  Biagio Martini is a successful lawyer. But he fears thunderstorms, and the memory of what happened in the old house by the river, when he was a child, corrodes his soul. Agata Rubino, on the other hand, is a fearless and courageous woman. She fears nothing as she hunts down the one who destroyed her life. Biagio and Agata do not know each other, they have never met; they do not know that their destinies are about to intertwine in an inexorable way.

  In Black Rhythms, Sacred Voices, M.A. Tucker weaves a powerful tapestry of poetry that echoes with the soul of Black history, struggle, and triumph. These verses pulse with the rhythms of survival, the melodies of resistance, and the sacred voices that refuse to be silenced. 
  From the weight of ancestry to the fire of revolution, from love's quiet sanctuary to the echoes of the unspoken, this collection captures the raw beauty and unbreakable spirit of Blackness. Each poem is a hymn to those who came before us, a reckoning with the present, and a declaration of a future where our voices rise, untamed and free. A lyrical sanctuary for those who have ever felt unseen, unheard, or unheld. 
  For the ancestors. For the dreamers. For us.

  The Big Smoke

  Winner of the Anisfield-Wolf Award and finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry, the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award, and the National Book Award in Poetry—a collection that examines the myth and history of the prizefighter Jack Johnson 
   
   
   
  The legendary Jack Johnson (1878–1946) was a true American creation. The child of emancipated slaves, he overcame the violent segregationism of Jim Crow, challenging white boxers—and white America—to become the first African-American heavyweight world champion. The Big Smoke, Adrian Matejka's third work of poetry, follows the fighter's journey from poverty to the most coveted title in sports through the multi-layered voices of Johnson and the white women he brazenly loved. Matejka's book is part historic reclamation and part interrogation of Johnson's complicated legacy, one that often misremembers the magnetic man behind the myth.
