  "Guilty Prayer is most stunning for how much it fits into a small space. All of this, no doubt, in praise of Steve Henn's brilliantly malleable poetic voice, which shifts tones, moods, and paces seamlessly between pages and between lines. I love this book for how it faces me, how it speaks to me, how it trusts me with what it knows. Reading this has made me a more generous person." - Hanif Abdurraqib 
  "Lithium and late-life sobriety - yes, please, and a music culled from the heartland as if from the pen of some Midwestern O'Hara in a time of 'dank memes' and the still reverberating echoes of Sparklehorse. Romance and failure, puking after a first sober Thanksgiving, the ghost of a long lost love, and poetry with 'surreal teenagers.' I recognize my place in Henn's America, in these days of no advantages, shattered dreams, and enough joy and art to live a life by." - David Dodd Lee 
  "Steve Henn peels back sorrow to reveal other emotions coiled inside it. Humor, bewilderment, guilt, tenderness. Grief as nexus, grief as quicksilver. Death and addiction are his subjects, yes. But Henn's language, like grief, is never static: it spirals into poems that are gripping, electrifying. I felt many things reading his work. Sorrow, yes. But also awe and gratitude." - Eduardo C. Corral

  La Maison - Inside a Berlin...

  In this bold and intimate semi-autobiographical novel, La Maison, Emma Becker transports the reader behind the closed doors of a Berlin brothel, where she worked for two years not only to earn a living, but to immerse herself in a world she wanted to understand – and to write about with unflinching honesty. What emerges is a deeply personal, unsentimental, and often surprising account of life inside the brothel, where Becker explores not just the physical aspects of sex work, but the emotional, psychological, and social complexities that shape it.
  With frankness and literary insight, she recounts her encounters with clients, her growing self-awareness, and, most poignantly, the friendships and solidarity she finds among the other women who work there. Far from reducing sex work to cliché or voyeurism, Becker gives space to the quiet routines, shared laughter, private pain, and hard-won dignity of a profession often misunderstood and rarely written about from the inside.
  Part memoir, part sociological study, and wholly literary, La Maison challenges preconceptions about sex, agency, and femininity, offering a provocative and compassionate exploration of what it means to inhabit multiple identities—as worker, writer, woman, and witness.

  In The Way of Tenderness, Zen priest Zenju Earthlyn Manuel brings Buddhist philosophies of emptiness and appearance to bear on race, sexuality, and gender, using wisdom forged through personal experience and practice to rethink problems of identity and privilege.  
  Manuel brings her own experiences as a lesbian black woman into conversation with Buddhism to square our ultimately empty nature with superficial perspectives of everyday life. Her hard-won insights reveal that dry wisdom alone is not sufficient to heal the wounds of the marginalized; an effective practice must embrace the tenderness found where conventional reality and emptiness intersect. Only warmth and compassion can cure hatred and heal the damage it wreaks within us.  
  This is a book that will teach us all.

  The Book of Samuel is a book in the Hebrew Bible, found as two books (1-2 Samuel) in the Christian Old Testament. The book is part of the narrative history of Ancient Israel called the Deuteronomistic history, a series of books (Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings) that constitute a theological history of the Israelites and that aim to explain God's law for Israel under the guidance of the prophets.
  The First Book of Samuel is the ninth book: The childless Hannah vows to Yahweh of hosts that, if she has a son, he will be dedicated to God. Eli, the priest of Shiloh, where the Ark of the Covenant is located, blesses her. A child named Samuel is born, and Samuel is dedicated to the Lord as a Nazirite-the only one besides Samson to be identified in the Bible. Eli's sons, Hophni and Phinehas, sin against God's laws and the people, a sin that causes them to die in the Battle of Aphek. But the child Samuel grows up "in the presence of the Lord."
