The Book of Women's Friendship
As Marilynne Robinson writes in her 1980 novel, Housekeeping, "Having a sister or friend is like sitting at night in a lighted house." Bringing together work by more than 100 writers, The Book of Women's Friendship explores the rich subject of friendship between women from every angle: its particular intensity and miraculous ease, its tendency to wax and wane, its role not only as a comfort and a privilege, but as vital to our health.Friendship has never been more highly debated, and loneliness more prevalent. Yet women's friendships have repeatedly been neglected or minimized in storytelling, fallen by the wayside of male relationships. In the first major anthology dedicated to women's friendship--and the first serious anthology about friendship published in more than three decades--editor Rachel Cooke looks to art to find the words to capture women's platonic love. Compiling selections from novels, poems, diaries, letters, comics, and graphic novels about women's friendship, she places work from a diverse array of artists in conversation across time and place.With excerpts from Jane Austen to Edith Wharton and Virginia Woolf, from Dolly Alderton to Sarah Waters, and from Zadie Smith to Meg Wolitzer, The Book of Women's Friendship celebrates and investigates friendship between women, from first encounters to final farewells, from falling out to making up again. This book takes the shape of a human life, beginning with early efforts at friend-making and -breaking in childhood to chance collisions in adulthood. It contemplates (though not for too long) the flip side of friendship, which is not enmity, but loneliness; celebrates solidarity in all its guises; and ends with loss, the moment of goodbye.Warm, clever, and full of some of the most beautiful writing on friendship ever published, The Book of Women's Friendship is also an act of friendship itself, dedicated to Cooke's best friend, in the end becoming a book full of all the lovely, impossible, unsayable things that one friend might be moved to give to another.
Celebrating Women
A captivating collection of women's writing--including everything from poetry, letters, novels, memoir, and journals--that celebrates the joy of being a woman. While centuries of men, and the first generations of feminists have (from very different perspectives) lamented the experience of womanhood, this new collection takes a refreshing look at all there is to enjoy. Chapters include "Firsts" with voices such as Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space, and Marie Curie, the first female Nobel prizewinner; "Festivities," which emphasizes frivolity and pleasure; "Friends" exploring the depth of connection experienced through female friendship; "Family," on mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, and grandmothers; and "Flowering," which celebrates women's creativity, passion, and love of life. From Amy Tan representing the uplifting comfort of parties with friends in The Joy Luck Club, to Sylvia Plath considering the fierce and confusing love she feels for her mother, and Elizabeth I embracing her role as Britain's first successful woman ruler, Celebrating Women includes a diverse range of voices from across the ages that explores the breadth and gratification experience in different women's lives. This volume contains a huge selection of writers dating back to the fifteenth century, from Christine de Pizan to Emily Dickinson, Germaine Greer to Alice Walker.
We Are Nature Defending Itself
In the words of series editor Steven L. Davis, We Are Nature Defending Itself: An Anthology of Women on Bodies, Borders, and Place is "a revelation, a multicultural blend of well-known and emerging writers who come together to give nature a voice in our literature and our lives." Not least of the many benefits to readers are its contributions from prominent Latina writers, presented here as advocates for the environment. Though this theme has long existed in Chicana literature, it has never been positioned as front and center as it is in this anthology. Volume editor Cordelia E. Barrera also includes notable Anglo, African American, and Indigenous contributors, crafting a true cultural blend of distinctive writing that will appeal to older generations while inspiring new ones. By incorporating these border voices, this collection effectively challenges long-dominant mythologies of the American West and offers a prominent place for literatures of social justice and the environment. The mix of poems, stories, and essays are divided into three sections: Bodies, Landscape, and Practices. Part I begins with the idea of experiencing and feeling a history of the body's contact with landscapes and places as repositories of knowledge. Part II extends beyond particulars of private or public life to consider issues of place as sites and locations of radical action. Part III features ruminations and traditions of remembering, highlighting reciprocal relationships to the natural world that extend outward to the ways "women's work" in and around the home shapes communal processes that reinforce continuity across time and space. We Are Nature Defending Itself adds important new work to the growing canon of nature and borderlands writing by women of color. In turn, these new voices deepen and broaden our understanding of humanity and its relationship to the natural environment.
A Domain of Her Own
A Domain of Her Own, An Anthology of Art, Poetry, and Prose by Members of the NLAPW Central New York Branch in Our 100th Year, is an eclectic collection of the finest work of professional women writers and visual artists who are members of the Central New York (CNY) Branch of the National League of American Pen Women (NLAPW). Written and compiled as a celebration of the 100th anniversary of the CNY Branch, this anthology is designed to provoke thought on a variety of topics and evoke emotional responses to the poetry, prose, and various visual art forms created by a diverse group of American women to express their unique voices. Woman empowering in design and content, the works in the anthology also reflect how women cope with loss, aging, and change. Much of the art, as well as the poetry, is centered around the natural world and how we react to and observe ourselves in nature. The collection and the creative women whose work is in this anthology never shy away from controversy if it causes readers to question, think, and want to make our world a better place.

The Weight of Tender Things
For readers of Sylvia Plath and lovers of raw and defiant inner truths, Sadia Hakim offers a visual poetry book that feels like a soul remembering itself - wounded, watchful, and unapologetically human.This debut collection blends confessional and journal-style reflections with psychological depth, exploring themes of rage, trauma, tender things that make life worth living, and the sacred discomfort of self-confrontation. The Weight of Tender Things is for those who feel everything, who read between the lines, who sense the unspoken, and who have learned to stand firm in a world that often demands their softness without offering safety. It is not just visual poetry. It is a confession. A mirror to the parts of you that have been silenced, mishandled, or seen as too much.​​​​​​​This is a fully colored special edition paperback thoughtfully designed as both a visual and emotional experience. Each page invites interaction, whether through highlighting, annotations, or simply pausing to absorb the art and words. It's more than a book. It's a keepsake for those who want to make it uniquely their own.
Introduction to the Mabinogi
A little book to introduce the Mabinogi, which revolutionised the telling of stories a thousand years ago. All our prose fiction, novels, films, gaming, is descended from this work of genius.Here are the tales themselves in a closely accurate retelling, plus all the main ideas scholars have developed about them.Often known as 'mythology', or 'Celtic mythology', the Mabinogi has been recognised since the 1970s as a sophisticated literature. It deserves to stand with Shakespeare and Homer yet is not nearly as well known as it should be.With all that the tales are wonderful stories of love, adventure, war, tragedy and enchantments. Mature scholars and young children alike can thoroughly enjoy them.The book has a wealth of illustrations, list of characters, and help with translations and further reading. It is written in clear, freindly style and will be well within the reach of teenagers upwards. Yet it also covers many sophusticated theories.

Every Day is a GOOD Day
Anarchist, Zen Buddhist, Playboy editor and novelist Robert Shea is best known for the Illuminatus! Trilogy, a cult classic co-authored with Robert Anton Wilson that has never gone out of print. He also had a successful career writing action-filled but philosophical historical novels such as Shike and All Things Are Lights. Shea was still developing his career as a novelist and was just sixty-one when illness cut his writing career short, ruling out a planned sequel to Illuminatus! and also preventing the publication of other novels that were in the works. An outwardly conventional middle class man who was kind to his fans, Shea was also a radical who published anarchist fanzines, kept an authentic Samurai sword in his home, and interacted with Wobblies and counterculture oddballs. Now, three decades after his death, Every Day is a GOOD Day: Robert Shea on Illuminatus!, Writing and Anarchism collects many of his short pieces, giving readers a glimpse of the man behind Illuminatus! and Shike.- - - Entertaining, thought provoking and richly varied, Every Day is a GOOD Day is a perfect introduction to the anarchistic principles and humane thinking of Robert Shea - a man more interested in finding flaws in his own beliefs than he is in forcing those beliefs on others. - John Higgs, author of Love and Let Die and other booksEvery Day Is a GOOD Day is here to preserve the memory of this good-hearted, open-minded man - and to let more people enjoy his humane and freedom-loving writings. - Jesse Walker, author of The United States of Paranoia and Reason magazine books editorShea's intelligence and sense of humor, shine throughout this terrific book. Robert Shea truly seems "the very model of modern armchair anarchist." - Eric Wagner, author of An Insider's Guide to Robert Anton Wilson and Straight Outta DublinTom Jackson's delightful collection has rescued the wit, warmth, and anarchist mischief of Robert Shea - the other half of the Illuminatus! equation. This is a resurrection spell for a writer, and an enthusiast's treasure trove! - Daisy Eris Campbell, writer/director of Cosmic Trigger the Play

The Mysteries
To say that The Mysteries is merely a tour de force of writerly craft would be to underestimate Bill Considine's powers as a poet. I say this because Considine works impressively, even expertly, on the level of ideas. In his stunning verse play, the nuances of technique-metaphor, juxtaposition, enjambment, caesura, silence-are placed in the service of urgent philosophical and sociohistorical questions. Here is a dialogue between history and modernity that is as timeless as it is timely, as haunting as it is faultlessly crafted.

The Legend of Meng Jiangn羹's Bitter Weeping
Meng Jiangn羹 is the heartbroken heroine of The Legend of Meng Jiangn羹's Bitter Weeping, one of China's Four Great Folktales (alongside The Butterfly Lovers, Lady White Snake, and The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl). Set during the brutal reign of the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC), her story has endured for centuries as a powerful symbol of love, grief, and defiance against oppression.A young woman from a rural village, Meng Jiangn羹 marries Fan Xiliang (or Wan Xiliang, Wan Liang), only to have him forcibly conscripted by Qin officials to labor on the Great Wall of China. Shortly after, he dies from exhaustion, and his body is buried within the Wall itself. Devastated, Meng Jiangn羹 embarks on a thousand-mile journey to bring him winter clothes-only to discover his fate. Her anguished weeping moves heaven and earth, causing a section of the Wall to collapse, revealing his bones.As a shared cultural treasure of the Chinese nation, this legend originating from the Han people has spread across various ethnic groups, including the Man, Zhuang, Dong, Maonan, and Mulao, over the course of history. While each version possesses unique artistic expressions, spiritual beliefs, and social meanings, they all preserve the core narrative of "a husband conscripted into forced labor and a wife's desperate journey to find him." This reflects the Chinese nation's cultural inclusiveness and deep emotional bonds as a whole. The diverse ethnic adaptations of this story serve as a vivid testament to the pluralistic unity of Chinese culture, embodying the collective memory jointly created and cherished by all ethnic groups.Part of the story runs as follows: The wind howled through the abandoned battlefield, carrying whispers of two names: L羹 Bu and L羹 Buwei.Once, they had stood at the pinnacle of power-gilded names, men who could command armies with a flick of their wrist. But now? Their graves lay in silence, bearing no inscriptions, as if even the earth itself refused to remember them.Greed had coiled around them first as a whisper, then as chains.L羹 Bu, the warrior without equal, had traded his honor for illusory wealth, betraying lord after lord until his name became synonymous with treachery. His tomb stood unmarked, not out of reverence, but because no one dared etch his crimes into stone.L羹 Buwei, the merchant-king, had clawed his way to the heart of the Qin Dynasty, weaving webs of deception so vast they ensnared even the unborn. His legacy? A dynasty built on rot, his own wife coveting power like a thief covets gold.History laughed at them.The Spring and Autumn Annals had inked their deeds in black, a permanent stain no fire could cleanse. Their sins had erupted like wildfire, scorching every generation that followed-thieves raising thieves, each more ruthless than the last.And in the end?No peace. No redemption.A Wall of Sorrow, A Woman of JadeMencius once warned: "Mountains won't shield a rotting heart. A nation cannot be secured by the steepness of its rivers."Yet Qin Shi Huang, deaf to wisdom, raised his Great Wall-stone by stone, corpse by corpse.The earth trembled beneath the weight of his pride. Millions perished, their bodies pressed into the ramparts, their souls clinging to the stones. Even now, if one listens closely, the wind carries their whispers-breath reeking of turned soil and old blood.
Publish Her Anthology
A Collection of Essays About the Special Bond Between Women and Their DogsOne hundred percent of the proceeds from the sale of this anthology benefit publishing services and program grants for underrepresented women authors."Dogs and humans have co-existed for thousands of years. We have been hard-wired over countless generations to bond with each other. Oxytocin, the 'love hormone' that's released when we fall in love or give birth or nurse a newborn baby, is also released in the brains of both humans and dogs when we gaze into each other's eyes and snuggle."In 'Dog Years, ' the authors explore how dogs provide comfort and bring solace during our most challenging times. The wise dogs featured are a balm for loneliness. They help their humans navigate grief and loss. They teach their humans caretaking and confidence, and what it means to show up every day and be present. These essays illustrate the deep wisdom of our canine companions, and how, if we listen and watch carefully, they can teach us empathy, which allows us to see other dogs, people and ourselves with more compassion."-Kate Hopper, editor, teacher and author of "Use Your Words" and "Ready for Air"
