  “Luna Court” by Dandy Noel is a memoir that follows the young life of Denver and her best friend Shay as they embark on a wandering, rock and roll-fueled road trip in search of Denver’s missing father. In the process, they find themselves.  
  After losing her mother to suicide as a young child, Denver’s early life was fraught with trouble and heartache. Now, as an 18-year-old in the early 1990s with her father missing for over a year, the call of a different life – particularly the growing Southern California music scene – is the catalyst for an adventure that begins the trajectory of the rest of her life. With dreams of opening a vintage clothing store and record shop, the friends leave home behind. As they encounter strangers, narrowly escape mishaps, and navigate the transition out of their teenage naivety – all the while searching for Denver’s father – the two girls learn invaluable lessons about friendship, acceptance, and resilience.  
  This true story of the author’s life is filled with twists and turns, exciting discoveries, and poignant growth, all described with beautiful clarity and careful detail. From the dangers of traveling the country with little to fall back on to appearing in the iconic Smells Like Teen Spirit music video, Noel brings readers on an emotionally charged, transformative ride toward healing past traumas and coming to terms with the joys and disappointments of reality as it truly is.  
  Through determination and hope, Denver’s healing journey is a lesson for people from all walks of life, a reminder that our paths are often messy, nonlinear, imperfect, and well worth the effort.  
  With nods to the flourishing grunge scene of the 90s, introspective moments of young adult angst, unexpected setbacks, and powerful moments of triumph, this inspiring tale is an invitation for readers to embark on their own journeys of healing and discovery, and ultimately, a tribute to the unconditional love a daughter has for her father.

  Wound from the Mouth of a Wound...

  A Minnesota Book Award Finalist in Poetry

  “Some girls are not made,” torrin a. greathouse writes, “but spring from the dirt.” Guided by a devastatingly precise hand, Wound from the Mouth of a Wound—selected by Aimee Nezhukumatathil as the winner of the 2020 Ballard Spahr Prize for Poetry—challenges a canon that decides what shades of beauty deserve to live in a poem. greathouse celebrates “buckteeth & ulcer.” She odes the pulp of a bedsore. She argues that the vestigial is not devoid of meaning, and in kinetic and vigorous language, she honors bodies the world too often wants dead. 
  These poems ache, but they do not surrender. They bleed, but they spit the blood in our eyes. Their imagery pulses on the page, fractal and fluid, blooming in a medley of forms: broken essays, haibun born of erasure, a sonnet meant to be read in the mirror. greathouse’s poetry demands more of language and those who wield it. “I’m still learning not to let a stranger speak / me into a funeral.” 
  Concrete and evocative, Wound from the Mouth of a Wound is a testament to persistence, even when the body is not allowed to thrive. greathouse—elegant, vicious, “a one-girl armageddon” draped in crushed velvet—teaches us that fragility is not synonymous with flaw.

  John Cooper Clarke may have an honorary doctorate and a poem on the English Literature GCSE syllabus, but don’t let that fool you: the ‘Poet Laureate of Punk’ is still a bona fide iconoclast. In Have It, a collection of scathing new poems, the Bard of Salford puts his pen to work across a host of painfully funny critiques of modern life.Praise for John Cooper Clarke‘A rhymer to be reckoned with . . . with a panache contemporary poets should aspire to and respect’ The Sunday Times‘John Cooper Clarke uses words like Chuck Berry uses guitar riffs melody and anger, humour and disdain in equal measure. He’s the real deal, really funny and really caustic, the velvet voice of discontent’ Kate Moss‘John Cooper Clarke is one of Britain’s outstanding poets. His anarchic punk poetry has thrilled people for decades . . . long may his slender frame and spiky top produce words and deeds that keep us on our toes and alive to the wonders of the world’ Sir Paul McCartney
