Sinopsis

In "A Sheaf of Verses: Poems," Radclyffe Hall presents a captivating collection that captures complex emotions and themes central to human experience, particularly love, longing, and identity. Hall's poetic style is marked by its lyrical beauty and introspective depth, reflecting both personal and universal sentiments. The collection delves into the struggles of self-acceptance and societal constraints faced by those outside the conventional norms of early 20th-century England, thereby situating the work within the rich context of modernist literature where existential themes abound and traditional forms are often subverted. Radclyffe Hall, an influential figure in LGBTQ+ literature, was born into a society rife with rigid gender norms. Her experiences as a woman who defied societal expectations undoubtedly informed her poetry, lending it authenticity and urgency. An early advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, Hall's work often explored themes of sexuality and identity, reflecting her own struggles and desires. "A Sheaf of Verses" thus stands as not only a showcase of her literary prowess but also as a significant cultural artifact of its time. This collection is highly recommended for readers who appreciate poetry that challenges societal norms while exploring the depths of emotional and personal truth. Hall's eloquent verses resonate with anyone seeking insight into the human condition, making this work a timeless addition to the canon of modern poetry.

    Sparks fly when a meticulous head chef falls for her captivating new hire. 
    Valentina Rosas has always known what she wants. Mostly. Sort of. At least, she does now. And what she wants is the coveted staging role at Gia, San Francisco. With four years at the top of her class in culinary school and enough tenacity to fuel the entire Mission, no one doubts she is about to land the job of her dreams—including the three-person cheer squad made up of her best friend and adorably overbearing parents. 
    Renowned chef Jenn Coleman is not a people person. Her rise to the top of the culinary industry stems from a cultivated blend of top-tier schooling—from her nonna—and bouts of carefully managed misanthropy. Owning and operating two Michelin starred restaurants doesn’t leave time for much else anyway. Just ask her ex. 
    When the new stage at her restaurant trips into her with all the grace of a baby giraffe, it’s a sure recipe for disaster. But for all of Jenn’s reserve, Valentina has twice the allure, and the chemistry between them is just… chef’s kiss. 
    If only Jenn wasn’t Valentina’s boss with nearly ten years between them.

    I Can Give You Anything But Love

    The long-awaited memoir from one of the most acclaimed radical writers in American literature. Described by the London Review of Books as one of "the most brilliant critics writing in America today," Gary Indiana is a true radical whose caustic voice has by turns haunted and influenced the literary and artistic establishments. 
     
     
     
    With I Can Give You Anything but Love, Gary Indiana has composed a literary, unabashedly wicked, and revealing montage of excursions into his life and work—from his early days growing up gay in rural New Hampshire to his escape to Haight-Ashbury in the post-summer-of-love era, the sweltering 1970s in Los Angeles, and ultimately his existence in New York in the 1980s as a bona fide downtown personality. Interspersed throughout his vivid recollections are present-day chapters set against the louche culture and raw sexuality of Cuba, where he has lived and worked occasionally for the past fifteen years. Connoisseurs will recognize in this—his most personal book yet—the same mixture of humor and realism, philosophy and immediacy, that have long confused the definitions of genre applied to his writing. Vivid, atmospheric, revealing, and entertaining, this is an engrossing book and a serious contribution to the genres of gay and literary memoir.

    Meet seventeen-year-old Noah York, the narrator of Bart Yates's astonishing debut novel. With a mouth like a truck driver and eyes that see through the lies of the world, Noah is heading into a life that's only getting more complicated by the day. 
     
     
     
    His dead father is fading into a snapshot memory. His mother, the famous psycho-poet, has relocated them from Chicago to a rural New England town that looks like a bad advertisement for small-town America. He can't seem to start a sentence without using the "f" word. And now, the very house he lives in is coming apart at the seams—literally—torn down bit by bit as he and his mother renovate the old Victorian. But deep within the walls lie secrets from a previous life—mason jars stuffed with bits of clothing, scraps of writing, old photographs—clues to the mysterious existence of a woman who disappeared decades before. While his mother grows more obsessed and unsettled by the discovery of these homemade reliquaries, Noah fights his own troubling obsession with the boy next door, the enigmatic J.D. 
     
     
     
    Part Portnoy, part Holden Caufield, Noah York is a touching and unforgettable character. His story is one of hope and heartbreak, love and redemption, of holding on to old wounds when new skin is what's needed, and of the power of growing up whole once every secret has been set free.

No matter what Anthony did, he couldn't get rid of the stubborn Brit. Freddie just didn't fit in with his glamorous life. And how did the man never sleep?

And he absolutely had to keep himself from hooking up with the overbearing American. 
     
    When friction erupts into steamy passion, can Freddie and Anthony forge a relationship together? Or will Freddie's secrets and the deadly vampires of the Azarian coven tear them apart?
