Paperback. Condition: Good. Cecilia Manguerra Brainard has written an ambitious novel of forbidden love. Set against the turbulent history of East Asia in the twentieth century and by turns erotic and tragic, Magdalena vividly depicts three generations of strong Filipino women. Aimee Liu, author of Cloud Moutain Cecilia Manguerr…a Brainard s novel Magdalena takes its title from a protagonist descended from several generations of equally compelling female characters. . . Brainard uses a nonlinear narrative and multiple points of view to describe the history of the Philippines that roughly corresponds to its contact with the United States from the Spanish American War to the war in Vietnam. The novel brings into focus not only the romantic and social conflicts of different generations of women but also economic and racial divisions in the Philippines . . . Interspersed throughout the novel are archival photographs of places and people, photographs that remind the reader that while the characters are fictional, the backdrop is historical reality. Kathleen Flanagan, Longwood University, World Literature Today With her second novel, Magdalena, Cecilia Brainard adds new portraits to the gallery in Philippine literature. She has always had a strong sense of place. Here, she provides an inner landscape as well. Together, these provide the coordinates for the family secrets that bind the characters as securely as bloodlines. Linda Ty-Casper, author of The Stranded Whale In this novel, Brainard blends a series of multiple perspectives to create a polyphony of voices that enacts Philippine society before and during the Second World War. The narrative is a nuanced vision of the workings of culture, social class, obligation and the Filipino personality. Rocio G. Davis, author of Transcultural Reinventions: Asian American and Asian Canadian Short Story Cycles I have been looking for a good story about the war. N.V.M. Gonzalez, author of The Bread of Salt and Other Stories (upon reading Winning Hearts and Minds, one chapter of Magdalena.) About Brainard s first novel When the Rainbow Goddess Wept - The strengthening of the national spirit; the loss of innocence in two generations these themes are explored by the author, who was born in the Philippines, with persuasive conviction and stark realism. (Publishers Weekly) A fast-paced, sensitively written first novel about the psychological damage war wreaks, seen through the eyes of an intelligent, resilient young girl . Brainard s appealing characters are larger-than-life people who change before our eyes, yet remain utterly convincing. (Kirkus Review).

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A dystopian sci-fi novel imagines a future New England crippled by pollution and under the control of ruthless corporate patriarchs. --Kirkus Reviews (see complete Kirkus review here)If you are prone to believe that even severe climate change will be well managed, that future governments will cal…mly move cities inland, providing good jobs in construction and engaging our better selves, Kitty Beer will turn you inside out. The compelling, gutsy characters, the cults and marauding private armies, the Prudential Tower poking out of the Boston Sea and other vivid landscapes, are horribly credible. If Beer's trilogy, set in the 2040s, 2060s, and continuing here in the 2080s with The Hampshire Project, can't inspire you to action, nothing will. --Robert Socolow, Princeton University Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and co-director of Princeton Environment InstituteKitty Beer's latest novel, The Hampshire Project, third in her Resilience trilogy, offers a foreboding, forbidding, vision of a future, post climate change New England. What was once the proud city of Boston is now underwater, victim of major rise in global sea level. Anarchy reigns. Fresh water is in short supply, available only to those who can afford to pay. Droughts, heat waves, violent storms and devastating tornadoes define the new normal. Could this be the future? Hopefully not. The Hampshire Project sounds a prescient warning though that the potential for disruptive change in future climate is real: it is not a hoax as some would suggest. Should The Hampshire Project raise public consciousness as to the need for action to address the climate issue, that would represent an important bonus. The book is a great read. I recommend it with enthusiasm and without qualification. --Michael B. McElroy, Gilbert Butler Professor of Environmental Studies, Harvard UniversityThe Hampshire Project, the conclusion of Kitty Beer's powerful trilogy of an environmentally dystopian future, is a wake-up call we owe to our great-grandchildren to heed. But beyond being a chillingly plausible vision of a ruined Earth, this is a tale told with subtlety and compassion. She offers fully formed characters who leap off the pages, by turns surprising us and angering us and eliciting our sympathy and understanding. In The Hampshire Project novelist Kitty Beer asks, and answers, the question that lies at the heart of all great fiction: How do we live in the world we have been given? -- Charles Coe, Author, All Sins Forgiven: Poems for My Parents, Artist-in-Residence for the city of Boston.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Victoria's War is a work of historical fiction about 19-year-old Victoria Darski, a Polish Catholic woman sold into slavery during the Nazi occupation of Europe, and Etta Tod, the 20-year-old deaf daughter of a German baker who buys Victoria. Poland, 1939: Eager to study literature at the University o…f Warsaw, Victoria waits with bags packed. But Hitler invades Poland and classes are canceled. German officers burst into her family's home, and Victoria's world is turned upside down. She is ordered to work in a Nazi sewing factory. Making military shirts, Victoria sews a straight pin inside the collar in defiance. At a secret resistance meeting with her friend Sylvia, Victoria is captured and sold as a slave, with thousands of other women. Germany, 1941: When Victoria is purchased to work in a family bakery, Etta tries to protect Victoria from the brutality of her family, bringing food and companionship to the attic where Victoria is held. The two women form a quick and enduring bond, but when they're caught stealing bread from the bakery and smuggling it to a nearby work camp, things take a turn for the worse. This spurs Victoria on to help rescue a group of mothers and babies from starvation. Victoria's War is a World War I story that hasn't been told before, giving a voice to ethnic Polish women who were kidnapped into the Nazi slave labor operation. This lost chapter of history revealing wartime slavery is not to be forgotten.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Adrienne Rich chose Cervine's poem The Jeweled Net of Indra as the winner of the 2005 National Writers Union contest, as well as his poem Holography for Honorable Mention. She comments that each has a fine sense both of language and the interconnectedness of human lives that for me is at the hear…t of poetry. In the great fields of his country-not just the U.S. but the country of the heart, the country of poetry-Dane Cervine sits with and questions what is unfathomable but must be lived anyway. I admire his faith in poetry. I admire his demand that it serve us. His lyrical and image-rich poems help light the way. They shorten the distance between us. Patrice Vecchione, author of Writing and the Spiritual Life: Finding Your Voice by Looking Within The Jeweled Net of Indra is itself a jewel, an antidote to the illusion that any of us 'stands alone.' A testimony as to how we are all of us consciousness and inextricably linked. A change in 'one gem' is reflected in all the others. I go for truth, I go for beauty. Dane Cervine's Jeweled Net of Indra has them both. Robert Sward, author of Collected Poems 1957-2004 Poetry should matter, Dane Cervine writes in The Jeweled Net of Indra, a volume which tackles some of the most difficult and urgent subjects of our day: war, poverty, greed, alienation, the threats to our environment. These are poems rooted in commitment, caring, and a vision that comprehends our deep interconnectedness--poems that matter. Ellen Bass, author of Mules of Love.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Thirteen dead black men, and nobody knows it happened, so says Johnny Smith, who sets out on a quest to make things right in the powerful novella that begins this collection - a masterpiece of collaged voices. Voice is urgent and significant--Dobson focuses throughout on the invisible and the unvoiced…-he brings them to center stage, where they speak their pain and frustration. Maybe we can revise history, one of his characters says; Dobson's book does just that. Mary Grimm, novelist, professor, Case Western University In entrancing prose that claims a place with writers as powerful as Ralph Ellison, James Baldwin, and John Edgar Wideman, Frank Dobson offers his own bold, subtle explorations of race and life in America. I sat down to skim a bit of his new book of stories, and ended up reading its central novella straight through. This narrative of the .22-Caliber killings in Buffalo - little known to most Americans-and the lives of blacks and whites caught up in those tense days makes for suspenseful, compelling reading. Jeff Gundy, poet, professor, Bluffton University.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Images in the Clouds: reading the sky is a collection of poems and images debuting Maria Wells' poetry, following her career in academia. Some poems are memories of places and people from her life and travels; some are pure fantasy and imagination.
