  Thresh & Hold

  A New York Times New-in-Poetry feature 
  Marlanda Dekine’s debut collection is a holy, radical unlearning and reclamation of self. What does it mean to be a Gullah-Geechee descendant from a rural place where a third of the nation’s founding wealth was harvested by trafficked West and Central Africans? Dekine’s poems travel across age and time, signaling that both the past and future exist in the present. Through erasure and persona, Dekine reimagines intergenerational traumas and calls institutions from the Works Progress Administration narratives to modern-day museums to task. 
  Beyond gospel music, fear, and the stories of generations past, Thresh & Hold offers magic, healing, and innovative pathways to manifest intimacy. Dekine remembers, remakes, and brings forth their many selves, traveling far in order to deeply connect to a spiritual home within and all around them, calling: “I am listening to Spirit. I am not dying today.”  
  Marlanda Dekine is the winner of the 2021 New Southern Voices Poetry Prize, judged by Gabrielle Calvocoressi.

  Lancelot has been playing the Game for a long time. When you're an immortal soul reborn again and again because you drank from the Holy Grail, there isn't much else to do than galivant around the globe, accomplishing quests for points and competing against your fellow immortals. For Lancelot it's life, and yet after centuries he finds himself distracted by a different thrill -- the one he gets from his greatest rival, Palomides.
  So when Palomides approaches him with a new quest, Lancelot jumps at the opportunity, even if it takes him to the edge of nowhere, to the deep woods of Wisconsin, chasing after a myth. When the myth turns out to be deadly real, will Lancelot get swept up in the battle and zeal of questing, of playing the Game, or will he find that there's a different way he'd much rather score?

  Jude knows he isn't relationship material. The entire population of Mars made it abundantly clear he's damaged goods, and he agrees. His issues are why he works a remote job flying around the galaxy prospecting for metals, and why he ruthlessly quashes any feelings for Cal, his surveying partner.
  
  
  Cal has been looking for an opening to suggest he and Jude could be more than friendly coworkers. When they crash on a tundra planet, the men have a lot of free time, and they put it to good use having sex. It's fun, but Cal wants Jude as a boyfriend, not a friend with benefits.
  
  
  Marooned on a hostile world, with Jude's demons rearing their heads, Cal's first task is to keep the two of them alive. His second is to convince Jude that, no matter how much he's suffered, romance can still be in the cards.

  Taylor Tate has one last chance to turn things around. As the owner of Charm City Events, she needs her upcoming week of Valentine's Day events to go off without a hitch. She's painstakingly planned every detail down to the last red heart decoration, but what Taylor doesn't plan on is the less than enthusiastic bar manager she's paired with stumbling into her life at the worst possible time, making things more difficult every step of the way. 
   
   
   
  Carson Smith is getting by fine. She loves her job as the bar manager at Second Chances, a dive bar staple of the Baltimore landscape, and she doesn't need anything or anyone disrupting the delicate balance she's created. Especially for a stupid Valentine's gimmick to take advantage of desperate singles. When the owner of the bar forces her to work with an event planning company to drum up business, she has no choice but to begrudgingly agree. It's either play along or see the bar close, and she can't let that happen. 
   
   
   
  It's only a week, but time passes differently when there's love in the air and too much on the line, and both women soon find their lives, and hearts, intertwined as they work together to make the week a success. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  One hotel room. One bed. Zero chance of keeping it professional. 
  Harry 
  When I agreed to chaperone the boys’ hockey team, I thought my biggest challenge would be pretending to understand the rules—not being stuck sharing a hotel room with Darius Hill. The hockey coach. The human whistle. The man who’s made my Mondays miserable for years. 
  But somewhere between the bus ride, the tense semifinal, and one very small bed, I start to realize the worst part of Darius Hall might be how much I like him. 
  Darius 
  I’ve spent years pretending Harry Peterson doesn’t get under my skin. Easier to tease him than admit I notice everything—his color-coded lesson plans, the cedar-and-coffee smell, that unguarded laugh. 
  Now we’re stuck sharing a hotel room, and I’m running out of excuses for the way I feel. One bed. One night. And suddenly I can’t decide what’s harder to handle: his endless commentary or how much I miss it when he stops talking. 
  Peaches and Pucks is a cozy, rivals-to-lovers novella full of banter, heart, and heat—because sometimes love takes a slapshot straight through your defenses.

  Stowaway

  The capture of stowaway Kit Miller brings some rare excitement to the life of Raine, security chief on a deep space cargo freighter. Kit's a fugitive, a shameless flirt and the sexiest man Raine's ever seen, but Raine's determined to resist him. Getting involved with Kit would be inappropriate and Raine prides himself on his rigid principles.
  
  
  To Kit, Raine is just another authority figure like the ones who've screwed him over before, so he can't work out why Raine makes him feel so safe. Why the muscle-bound hunk makes him so hot is easier to understand.
  
  
  Eventually, desire overcomes their wariness and they begin a passionate and mostly secret affair. When Kit proves his loyalty to the crew and the ship and Raine shows Kit he's not the kind of man Kit assumed he was, their feelings grow deeper. But the end of the voyage is looming, and they face losing each other forever unless Raine is ready to give up all he's worked for to love a lawbreaking stowaway.
