Summary

What do you do when a life full of potential seems to fade to nothing in front of your eyes? The Wild Youth is a collection of poetry about a boy raised as a girl, and the journey he took to reclaim his identity, promise, and youth, before it was too late. This book is an anthem for any young person who has faced disability and chosen to keep shining, for anyone who has ever been told for an entire childhood that they were one thing, only to discover they were something completely different. This book is also for those who are facing the prospect of straddling the line between "young adult" and "adult", and those who never grew up.
Available since: 10/30/2014.

In North America and Europe, the following twelve months became known as “the year without summer.” Confined indoors by the relentless rain and cold, a group of friends, including 18-year old Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley and poet Lord Byron, began writing ghost stories to pass the time. Shelley’s tale “Frankenstein” remains, over 200 years later, a work of timeless imagination and power.Includes a post-play conversation with Leslie S.

    "Let me say at the outset that this book is not about Bear (he would be spoken of in the singular and masculine, capitalized and without an article), or it is only incidentally about him. I am less interested in defining the being of Bear than in trying to understand something about the spirit of wilderness, of which Bear is a very particular expression . . . Bear is a template of the wilderness."—from the IntroductionSince receiving the Pulitzer Prize in 1969 for his novel House Made of Dawn, N. Scott Momaday has had one of the most remarkable careers in twentieth-century American letters. Here, in In the Bear's House, Momaday passionately explores themes of loneliness, sacredness, and aggression through his depiction of Bear, the one animal that has both inspired and haunted him throughout his lifetime.With transcendent dignity and gentleness, In the Bear's House celebrates Momaday's extraordinary creative vision and his evolution as one of our most gifted artists.

    Rappaccini's Daughter by Octavio Paz
    A play by the Mexican Nobel laureate.
    Night of the Assassins by José Triana
