Synopsis

In "The Girl Wanted: A Book of Friendly Thoughts," Nixon Waterman weaves a tapestry of optimism and encouragement that reflects a unique blend of early 20th-century sensibilities and timeless themes of aspiration. This collection of prose and poetry offers a heartfelt exploration of the pursuit of love, identity, and personal fulfillment. Waterman's literary style is marked by simplicity and clarity, making profound insights accessible to a wide audience, while his contextual placement within the American literary landscape of the time reveals a response to the burgeoning movements of social reform and introspective philosophy. Nixon Waterman was not only a poet and author, but a publisher and editor whose journalistic background provided him with a keen understanding of the human spirit's desires and aspirations. His keen observations of the social dynamics and emotional experiences of women in particular lead him to create a work that resonates with the yearning for companionship and understanding, shaping the cultural discourse around gender roles and self-realization in the early 1900s. This book is highly recommended for readers seeking an uplifting literary experience that encourages introspection and connection. Waterman's eloquent thoughts serve as a gentle reminder of humanity's shared desires, making this work not only a delightful read but also a source of inspiration and reflection for anyone navigating their own journey of self-discovery.

    The life and career of a Poet is often thought of as musing at a desk, or lying in a meadow, or on long journeys to find inspiration for their next masterwork.  But more often than not a poet was a part-time profession in subservient submission to their actual, salary-paying job.   
    In this volume we bring together those professionals we engage to bring the full force of the law to bear where we have been wronged, either personally or professionally.  Despite the complex morals of such work their verse sparkles with knowing and humane wisdom.

    Composed in two halves, Erica Gillingham's The Human Body is a Hive is a playful and observant reconception of queer love and queer family-making. Opening with a shameless celebration of sex and desire, the collection expands the boundaries of love to include friendship, romance, and lifelong partnership. The latter catalogues the cyclical heartbreaks and wonders of fertility treatment through the microscopic lenses of nature, medicine, and art. Both quietly moving and profoundly celebratory, this exciting debut evokes tenderness and resilience.
