  Cycling? It's one of my life's constants, it feeds my need for beauty, for delight and for aimless exploring . . . I hope to continue pedalling, nice and slowly, for the rest of my life, with the same curiosity that ignited my childhood.
  
  Twelve writers consider the joys and consolations of cycling, whether in a city late at night or along country lanes on a summer's day. Yara Rodrigues Fowler and Xani Byrne write movingly on coming to terms with loss through tandem biking; Jon McGregor takes part in the overnight Dunwich Dynamo. Annie Lord sings the praises of cycling home on Lime bikes from parties, while the late Dervla Murphy regales us with stories of a cycle through Europe.
  
  Freewheeling is a celebration of life on two wheels, and how bikes can become an extension of ourselves, a type of armour, and a route to liberation.

  Be Holding - A Poem

  Winner, 2021 PEN/Jean Stein Award Winner, 2021 Ohioana Book Award in Poetry Winner, 2022 Indiana Author Award in Poetry Be Holding is a love song to legendary basketball player Julius Erving—known as Dr. J—who dominated courts in the 1970s and ‘80s as a small forward for the Philadelphia ‘76ers. But this book-length poem is more than just an ode to a magnificent athlete. Through a kind of lyric research, or lyric meditation, Ross Gay connects Dr. J’s famously impossible move from the 1980 NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers to pick-up basketball and the flying Igbo and the Middle Passage, to photography and surveillance and state violence, to music and personal histories of flight and familial love. Be Holding wonders how the imagination, or how our looking, might make us, or bring us, closer to each other. How our looking might make us reach for each other. And might make us be reaching for each other. And how that reaching might be something like joy.

  Snowboard Girl

  The untold story of snowboarding's first U.S. Olympic medalist-and the legacy she carved for women in the sport and beyond. 
  She didn't just ride into history-she helped rewrite it. Before snowboarding had coaches or Olympic medals, Shannon Dunn-Downing was chasing snow, chasing dreams, and unknowingly reshaping the future of the sport for women. In Snowboard Girl, she shares her personal journey through snowboarding's most defining decade-the '90s-with laugh-out-loud road trip stories, breakthrough contests, and the raw truth of what it really took to rise in a sport that didn't always make room for women. 
  Faced with injuries, industry politics, and the pressure to prove herself, Shannon turned obstacles into opportunity-breaking barriers with courage, faith, and fearless creativity. From designing the first women's-specific snowboard products to landing tricks no woman had done before, she became the first U.S. woman to win an Olympic snowboarding medal, carved her way into the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame, and even has her signature board on display at the Smithsonian. 
  Honest, humorous, and deeply inspiring, this is the story of a true icon who isn't done writing her legacy-and a bold reminder to anyone chasing a dream: you were meant to dream big, carve your own path, and live courageously.

  You’ve probably seen paddle pop up in gyms, clubs, and weekend leagues, but you may not know what’s real history and what’s just a good story. If you’ve tried to learn through scattered tips and rule clarifications, this book is for you - whether you’re a curious beginner or someone who already plays but wants the why behind every turn. 
  In Paddle: Past, Rules, And Future, we trace how the sport’s origin myths took root, how it became a global craze, and why the rulebook is built to protect fairness rather than complicate it. Along the way, you’ll see how scoring changes mindset, why doubles and singles demand different decisions, and which equipment and training choices shape longevity - then we’ll close by forecasting the next era.
