  A resplendent life in sonnets from the author of Four-Legged Girl, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize 
   
   
   
  "The sonnet, like poverty, teaches you what you can do / without," Diane Seuss writes in this brilliant, candid work, her most personal collection to date. These poems tell the story of a life at risk of spilling over the edge of the page, from Seuss's working-class childhood in rural Michigan to the dangerous allures of New York City and back again. With sheer virtuosity, Seuss moves nimbly across thought and time, poetry and punk, AIDS and addiction, Christ and motherhood, showing us what we can do, what we can do without, and what we offer to one another when we have nothing left to spare. Like a series of cels on a filmstrip, frank: sonnets captures the magnitude of a life lived honestly, a restless search for some kind of "beauty or relief." Seuss is at the height of her powers, devastatingly astute, austere, and—in a word—frank.

  In the deeply personal Decade of the Brain, Janine Joseph writes of a newly-naturalized American citizen who suffers from post-concussive memory loss after a major auto accident.The collection is an odyssey of what it means to recover—physically and mentally—in the aftermath of trauma and traumatic brain injury, charting when “before” crosses into “after.” Through connected poems, buckling and expansive syntax, ekphrasis, and conjoined poetic forms, Decade of the Brain remembers and misremembers hospital visits, violence and bodily injury, intimate memories, immigration status, family members, and the self.  
  After the accident I turned outall of the lights in the room while I watched, 
  concussed, from the mirror. I edged like a feverwith nothing on the tip of my tongue.

  No Sweet Without Brine - Poems

  Cynthia Manick

  Cynthia Manick’s poetry collection personifies love of self and culture through fresh observations and bitter truths voiced with breathtaking lyricism. 
  No Sweet Without Brine is both a soulful and celebratory collection that summons sticky sweet memories with an acrid aftertaste of deep thought. Satisfying moments are captured in odes to Idris Elba’s dulcet tones on a meditation app and the satisfaction of half-priced Entenmann’s poundcake; in childlike observations of parental Black love, the coveted female form on Jet Magazine covers, and the desire for Zamunda to be a real place full of Black joy. The sour taps into an analysis of reclusiveness, silencing catcalls from men on the street, and detailed recipes and advice to the Black girls forced to endow themselves with armor against the world. 
  Cynthia Manick’s latest is a playlist of everyday life, introverted thoughts, familial bonds, and social commentary. In piercing language, she traces the circle of life for a narrator who dares to exist between youthful remembrances and adulthood realities. Each poem in No Sweet Without Brine is a reminder that a hint of sorrow makes the celebration and recognition of the glory of Blackness in all ways, and through all people, that much sweeter. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  I Didn't Screw the Mayor He...

  The City Council of Mendacious Crest has a historic strategy for dealing with problems: ignore it and it will go away.  The game of avoidance is over. Payment is due. The Piper must be paid. What currency does it cost them? 
  Mysterious, witty, and unapologetically bold, I Didn’t Screw the Mayor. He Screwed Me is a true political drama that unearths the principles in a predatory political system—and what it costs a Michigan businesswoman (or is she) to stand tall in the city that made her, now hellbent to break her. 
  Searing with financial betrayal, persona deception, and political cunning, the cost of getting compensated is more than suspicious.
