  Quiet Night Think - Poems & Essays

  “One function of the poet at any time is to discover by his own thought and feeling what seems to him to be poetry at that time,” writes Wallace Stevens. In Quiet Night Think, award-winning poet Gillian Sze expresses her own definition.
  		 
  During the remarkable period of early parenthood, Sze’s new maternal role urges her to contemplate her own origins, both familial and artistic. Comprised of six personal essays, poems, and a concluding long poem, Quiet Night Think takes its title from a direct translation of an eighth-century Chinese poem by Li Bai, the subject of the opening essay. Sze’s memory of reading Li Bai’s poem as a child marks the beginning of an unshakable encounter with poetry. What follows is an intimate anatomization of her particular entanglement with languages and cultures.
  		 
  In her most generically diverse book yet, Sze moves between poetry and prose, mother and writer, the lyrical and the autobiographical, all the while inviting readers to meditate with her on questions of emergence and transformation: What are you trying to be? Where does a word break off? What calls to us throughout the night?

  What World Is This? - A Pandemic...

  The pandemic compels us to ask fundamental questions about our place in the world: the many ways humans rely on one another, how we vitally and sometimes fatally breathe the same air, share the surfaces of the earth, and exist in proximity to other porous creatures in order to live in a social world. What we require to live can also imperil our lives. How do we think from, and about, this common bind? 
   
   
   
  Judith Butler shows how COVID-19 and all its consequences—political, social, ecological, economic—have challenged us to reconsider the sense of the world that such disasters bring about. Drawing on the work of Max Scheler, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and critical feminist phenomenology, Butler illuminates the conditions in which we seek to make sense of our disorientation, precarity, and social bonds. What World Is This? offers a new account of interdependency in which touching and breathing, capacities that amid a viral outbreak can threaten life itself, challenge the boundaries of the body and selfhood. Criticizing notions of unlimited personal liberty and the killing forces of racism, sexism, and classism, this book suggests that the pandemic illuminates the potential of shared vulnerabilities as well as the injustice of pervasive inequalities.

  hus Spoke My Therapist: Nietzsche Without the Mental Breakdown is your one-way ticket to understanding one of history’s most misunderstood philosophers—without needing a doctorate or a prescription for existential dread. 
  This isn’t your professor’s Nietzsche. It’s Nietzsche with a cocktail of sarcasm, clarity, and just enough emotional damage to be relatable. Philosophy grad student and sarcasm connoisseur Sophia Blackwell slices through the fog of German metaphysics to deliver a book that actually explains what the mustachioed madman was on about—and makes you laugh so hard you forget you're spiraling. 
  Inside, you'll find: 
  Why "God is dead" isn’t just something said by goth teenagers. 
  How Christianity pulled off history’s greatest guilt trip. 
  What the "will to power" has to do with office politics and Instagram likes. 
  How eternal recurrence is basically Groundhog Day with higher stakes. 
  Why the Übermensch is less Hitler, more “that weirdly self-assured friend who makes their own almond milk.” 
  Perfect for people who want to understand philosophy without having to fake a seizure halfway through Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Whether you're a moody teenager, recovering philosophy major, or just someone who wants to win arguments online, this book will arm you with Nietzschean insights and the comedic timing to survive modern life’s absurdity. 
  Warning: Reading this may result in increased self-awareness, spontaneous existential crises, and the irresistible urge to quote Nietzsche at brunch
