Kate Foley

Sinopse

The algorithm
of my own life, faded
and spidery,
is written,
not keyed in.
From bombsites used as childhood playgrounds to lockdown FaceTime calls, Kate Foley looks back on almost nine decades of life – a life characterised by curiosity, resistance and a strong connection with the natural world.
Appreciation and concern for the planet runs through this frank and moving collection, which muses on the notions of faith and belief, ultimately rejecting both Whitehall politics and traditional religion as inadequate to deal with environmental crisis.
Simultaneously nostalgic and highly concerned with the future, Kate Foley's candid reminiscence and simple use of language draw us softly into consideration of life's big questions: What's it all for? How will we be remembered?
Will it build again, our earth?

Empathy

Apiary

"Be black in chess" is easier said than done for aspiring soccer professional Silas Yanagida. His three-year relationship with Hadrian Nakata ends when Hadrian cheats on him. The reason: Silas is emotionally unavailable, cold, and distant, caring only about soccer, or so Hadrian claims. When Hadrian leaves, Silas's world falls apart. Is he truly an emotionless monster?
Left alone in Tokyo, cut off from friends at university, and without offers from the top league despite his youth national team status, Silas hits rock bottom. In the cafeteria, he meets Aiden Tago, a psychology student returning from mourning his parents. Silas gets a wild idea: Can empathy be learned? And who is better to teach him than Aiden?

I'm not human. 
 
 
 
Then again, neither is my new roommate, and he and ESCU have history. Not the good kind either. But since he seems to think we're mates, his problems are now mine.

Splintered

Isabel Lucero

Overwhelmed with work and feeling like I'm being pulled in multiple directions at once, I crave the serenity a private island holds for me. As a very recognizable figure in the adult film industry, I'm used to shelling out parts of myself for the sake of others. Though I've created an empire that has made me lots of money in a business I enjoy, I still desire a break. 
 
 
 
Sandy beaches, fruity drinks, and turquoise waters are all I expected from this trip. I definitely didn't anticipate running into my high school crush—the jock that never once looked at me the way I wanted him to. 
 
 
 
Jarrod Bivens is now the star goalie of the San Jose Bobcats, and the person half the world is blaming for his team losing in the playoffs. Clearly here for his own escape, our chance encounter ignites an instant friendship. Maybe those lingering gazes and small touches are all in my head. 
 
 
 
But one day, something interesting arises between us—a moment I couldn't have prepared myself for. Our chemistry is undeniable, but the real world awaits, and life off the island is bound to be much different. How can two people from completely different worlds ever make it work? 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.
