It's for someone supposedly "red on the outside, white on the inside." In Apple (Skin to the Core), Eric Gansworth tells his story, the story of his family--of Onondaga among Tuscaroras--of Native folks everywhere. From the horrible legacy of the government boarding schools, to a boy watching his siblings leave and return and leave again, to a young man fighting to be an artist who balances multiple worlds. Eric shatters that slur and reclaims it in verse and prose and imagery that truly lives up to the word heartbreaking.

Reading Fear in Flavian Epic
This book examines the textual representations of emotions, fear in particular, through the lens of Stoic thought and their impact on depictions of power, gender, and agency. It first draws attention to the role and significance of fear, and cognate emotions, in the tyrant's psyche, and then goes on to explore how these emotions, in turn, shape the wider narratives. The focus is on the lengthy epics of Valerius Flaccus' Argonautica, Statius' Thebaid, and Silius Italicus' Punica. All three poems are obsessed with men in power with no power over themselves, a marked concern that carries a strong Senecan fingerprint. Seneca's influence on post-Neronian epic can be felt beyond his plays. His Epistles and other prose works prove particularly illuminating for each of the poet's gendered treatment of the relationship between power and emotion. By adopting a Roman Stoic perspective, both philosophical and cultural, this study brings together a cluster of major ideas to draw meaningful connections and unlock new readings.

Remember the Flowers
A tiny, overgrown garden. An empty parking lot. A white IKEA chair. The frozen food aisle in the supermarket. In this collection of narrative poems that span early childhood to the pandemic, Enni Harlan turns the landscapes and objects of everyday life into extraordinary ones-the overgrown garden becomes her own secret garden; the parking lot, a handball court; the IKEA chair, a steam train.With her sharp, sometimes darkly comic eye, Harlan explores what it means to play and live in the "in-between"-in between buildings, but also in between the U.S. and South Korea, childhood and adulthood, the past and the present, reality and imagination. What can we hold onto, even as we leave certain worlds-our childhood, our parents, even our homeland-behind forever? Remember the Flowers is Enni Harlan's first book, a memoir in the form of poetry. It won Stone Soup's 2021 Book Contest.

Yo Bro
Manhood, brotherhood, and Black Lives Matter are all topics of interest to any young man. The motivational poetry and self-reflective journaling of Yo Bro: Strive Toward Excellence will help teenage boys determine how they want to show up in their community... and the world. During these unfortunate times of racial turbulence and the unveiling of devastating societal inequities, such as economic, educational and health disparities, young people require social-emotional guidance to cognitively process what is unraveling around them in their community, country and world. More than ever, it is crucial that young adults of color are provided with the encouragement to understand their individual cultural being, and to facilitate their thinking processes about their stance on social justice issues like Black Lives and school violence. As an African American woman, mother of two successful adult sons, and college professor with 30+ years of experience as a literacy and cultural diversity educator, it is my responsibility to serve as a role model and mentor for young people. Yo Bro: Strive Toward Excellence is written in a unique approach that fuses my three roles into a meaningful, entertaining, and educational experience for young men of color. Through my thought-provoking poetry, I aim to reinforce my teen readers' self-confidence, explore their culture, and empower them to address the injustices that they are passionate as budding social activists. To enhance comprehension, I have incorporated literacy strategies, such as journaling after each poem and end-of-chapter graphic organizers to encourage readers to make intrinsic connections and examine their authentic ideas about real-life topics. Also, inspirational quotes of renown men of color are integrated to further emphasize these relevant concepts.A parallel book, "Sistah Girl: Step Into Your Greatness" is available for girls.
