    Secrets have a way of being found out. 
    Uncovering the hidden secrets of her literary heroes was the last thing Jane expected when she began her PhD research on T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound. But as she delves deeper into the prestigious universities and dusty manuscript libraries, she discovers a shocking truth: her own family may have been involved in a scandalous affair with another titan of American Modernism, William Carlos Williams. 
    Guided by her unwavering intuition and the support of a few exceptional mentors, Jane's quest for the truth takes her on a journey spanning continents and decades, navigating the treacherous waters of academic politics along the way. But as she unearths the buried secrets of her ancestors, she realizes that sometimes, the truth we seek lies hidden within the very words that have shaped our world. 
    For fans of historical fiction and literary mysteries, The Roots That Clutch is a hauntingly true story that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

    “Sometimes,” writes Michael Kleber-Diggs writes in this winner of the Max Ritvo Poetry Prize, “everything reduces to circles and lines.”In these poems, Kleber-Diggs names delight in the same breath as loss. Moments suffused with love—teaching his daughter how to drive; watching his grandmother bake a cake; waking beside his beloved to ponder trumpet mechanics—couple with moments of wrenching grief—a father’s life ended by a gun; mourning children draped around their mother’s waist; Freddie Gray’s death in police custody. Even in the refuge-space of dreams, a man calls the police on his Black neighbor.But Worldly Things refuses to “offer allegiance” to this centuries-old status quo. With uncompromising candor, Kleber-Diggs documents the many ways America systemically fails those who call it home while also calling upon our collective potential for something better. “Let’s create folklore side-by-side,” he urges, asking us to aspire to a form of nurturing defined by tenderness, to a kind of community devoted to mutual prosperity. “All of us want,” after all, “our share of light, and just enough rainfall.”Sonorous and measured, the poems of Worldly Things offer needed guidance on ways forward—toward radical kindness and a socially responsible poetics.

Written in elevated verse and shaped in the tradition of Romantic and Pre-Raphaelite drama, Anesidora illustrates the duality of spirituality and passionate love. Anesidora, at its heart, is a symbolic play that signifies the tempestuous awakening of passionate love within a young girl.
