Changes in the Landscape
Changes in the Landscape is a collection of timely essays that bring the methodologies and commitments of ecocriticism to bear on the study of Latin American literature and cultural production. The book's eleven chapters, written by some of the leading voices in the field, invite readers to consider how the relationship between humans and nonhuman nature was fundamentally transformed during a period when new modes of capitalist production were emerging in the region and around the world. Jennifer L. French's introductory essay provides a historical and theoretical framework for the collection. Ranging from the immediate aftermath of the Spanish-American Wars of Independence (1810-1826) to the early twentieth century (1925), the volume's essays cover a wide variety of genres and forms of cultural production, from Jos矇 Hern獺ndez's epic poem Mart穩n Fierro to prose fiction, painting and photography, and the personal albums compiled by Spanish-American women. Individually and collectively, the essays engage with scientific writing as both a discourse of power and a source of potentially significant, even revelatory information about human and nonhuman nature. Changes in the Landscape enables readers to more fully understand the transition from colonial regimes to the ecocidal extractivism of the export boom (1870-1930) by drawing out and analyzing some of the cognitive resources and rhetorical strategies that were available to imagine, protest, or enact new norms and expectations regarding the relations between human and nonhuman life, be it the life of wildflowers, waterfalls, or Cuba's Ci矇naga de Zapata.

Snow Globe Thumbelina
"Snow Globe Thumbelina" is an evocative collection of poems takes you on a journey through the lens of depression that follows after life-altering events. You are in for an emotional ride-from the disorientation and suffocation of being lost, up to the self-reflection and revelation of one's pain. The book explores the cyclical nature of depression-from the moment it starts, to the moments a person tries to heal and therapize themselves, up to the breakthroughs that allowed some ray of happiness to come back in. Chapters titled: System ShockDepression CycleDIY TherapyTick Tock
Hemicrania
In Hemicrania, poet Therese Gleason reaches out through the "half-headed pain" of the migraineur, despite (or rather, because of) "her head a cracked bell/ that wouldn't stop ringing." Like the two halves of the brain, this chapbook succeeds by dualities. Both thematically cohesive and formally expansive, Hemicrania tells the story, on one side, of the mostly male failures of medicine, and on the other, of the matrilineal inheritance of suffering "which women must endure." Borrowing language from medicine but wholly rooted in poetry, the Patient is both reduced to the base elements of piss, salt, bile, and snot and elevated to the mystic, ghostly realm of saints, incantation, and prayer. Gleason asks "what angel, message, lesson" can be found in suffering. But even if, in the end, the Patient resigns, "I'm no more chosen than I am god/forsaken," the poet has made from her suffering this simultaneously delicate and explosive contribution to the literature of women's chronic pain.-Cynthia Marie Hoffman, author of Exploding HeadChronic and episodic migraine patients will agree that they'll do anything and everything to exorcise the migraine demon. Author Therese Gleason attempts just that in Hemicrania via revelatory poems brimming with prayers, incantations, and supplications. The poet gives readers the 4-1-1 from the front lines of Migrainesville in poems that confront medical sexism and medical gaslighting-and in poems that explore the conundrum of genetic inheritance. The vulnerability and daily struggle of the person with migraine are depicted with vivid accuracy and candor. Hemicrania should reside on the nightstands of poetry lovers, patients, physicians, and caregivers.-Rita Maria Martinez, author of The Jane and Bertha in MeTo read Hemicrania is to witness a poet contend with profound spiritual and physical agony. In found poems, hybrid forms, and collages, Gleason traces her family's matrilineal inheritance of migraine alongside an enraging genealogy of the medical establishment's all-too-frequent disregard for migraineurs' suffering. And while Hemicrania is a scorching account of migraine's brutal toll on body and mind, in its pages Gleason offers too a psalter of companionship: invocations, incantations, and charms against pain drawn from a thousand years of belief and experience. The unflinching intimacy of these poems humbled me.-Carolyn Oliver, author of Inside the Storm I Want to Touch the TrembleIn Hemicrania, a gut-wrenching and aesthetically innovative portrait of the matrilineal curse of migraine, Therese Gleason renders the ineffable. Equal parts masterclass in vivifying the medical archive and gripping reportage from the patient's vantage, Gleason's intimate poems shatter migraineurs' isolation to deliver spells for a painless future.-Sarah M. Sala, author of Devil's Lake
Tsunami
Merging waves of feminist thought from established and emerging Mexican women writers, Tsunami arrives with seismic, groundbreaking force.Featuring personal essay, manifesto, creative nonfiction, and poetry, Tsunami gathers the multiplicity of voices being raised in Mexico today against patriarchy and its buried structures. Tackling gender violence, community building, #MeToo, Indigenous rights, and more, these writings rock the core of what we know feminism to be, dismantling its Eurocentric roots and directing its critical thrust towards current affairs in Mexico today. Asserting plurality as a political priority, Tsunami includes trans voices, Indigenous voices, Afro-Latinx voices, voices from within and outside academic institutions, and voices spanning generations. Tsunami is the combined force and critique of the three feminist waves, the marea verde ("green wave") of protests that have swept through Latin America in recent years, and the tides turned by insurgent feminisms at the margins of public discourse.Contributors include Marina Azahua, Y獺snaya Elena Aguilar Gil, Dahlia de la Cerda, Alexandra R. DeRuiz, Lia Garc穩a, Jimena Gonz獺lez, Gabriela Jauregui, Fernanda Latani M. Bravo, Valeria Luiselli, Ytzel Maya, Brenda Navarro, Jumko Ogata, Daniela Rea, Cristina Rivera Garza, Diana J.

Tales from the Jamaican Heartland
The Jamaican heartland is the cradle of countless rural legends, enthralling folktales, and intriguing anecdotes that - like the red-billed streamertail hummingbird, the doctor bird - are endemic to Jamaica. Tales from the Jamaican Heartland: A Short Story Collection is the result of the efforts of two writers to help preserve the folkways of their nation by documenting stories from their youth to add to the growing repertoire of Jamaican literature. The text is a collage of experiences, featuring iconic elements of rural life such as hardworking farmers, entertaining interactions among villagers, and cherished personal moments with loved ones and even pets. The diverse range of stories within the collection captures moments that evoke nostalgia and emotion and might make readers laugh, reflect, and even shed a tear. Though the work is mostly fictional, it drew inspiration from the lived experiences of the writers and many people in their home communities. Through Tales from the Jamaican Heartland: A Short Story Collection, the legacy of those people from the Jamaican heartland will live on and on.
