Transitions: New and Selected Sonnets
New and selected sonnets from a treasured poet who "insists upon the rawness of experience and the metamorphosis of form with equal fervor and makes them both speak with the same voice" (W. S. Merwin).
Over the course of her celebrated fifty-year career, Marilyn Hacker has continuously proven to be a timely, fearless, and lauded poet highly skilled in a wide variety of forms--most famously, the sonnet. Transitions is her first volume consisting entirely of the beloved form.
Hacker is a poet of quiet mastery. In her hands, the sonnet, despite the stricture of meter and rhyme, blooms into a living, breathing thing, one that's contemporary, confessional, and subversive. Sentences effortlessly fall into formal constraint, and words that evoke the pleasure of everyday language become Petrarchan rhymes. As Jan Heller Levi wrote, "No one writes about lust and lunch like Marilyn Hacker. And certainly no one has done more to demonstrate that form has nothing to do with formula."
From her early sonnets to those written decades later, this book offers a portrait of the seasons of an extraordinary life, a life lived between New York, Paris, and Beirut as an activist, a polyglot, and a queer woman. We see Hacker's speaker grappling with young motherhood, the dissolution of her heterosexual marriage, middle age, relationships with women, chronic illness, care received from her adult child, and her old age, all while confronting geopolitical tension and global tragedies, from the AIDS epidemic to the war in Gaza.
Transitions is a remarkable celebration of a life lived in verse. Intelligent, contemplative, and justice-driven, this profound collection cements Marilyn Hacker's reputation of one of the indispensable poets of our time.

New Blueprint for Government: Reshaping Power, the Pmo, and the Public Service
2025 DONNER PRIZE FINALIST
Is the Canadian government contributing to its own underperformance? An insider's guide to steering our nation toward greater efficiency Canada is struggling. Our growth is anemic, our standard of living is stagnant, our housing is unaffordable, and our health care system is nearing a breaking point. To make matters worse, the government fails to deliver core services and avoid management fiascos like the ArriveCan and Phoenix scandals. These failures are systemic and interconnected. What connects them is a fatal flaw in how the federal government operates, makes decisions, and takes action. Power has shifted from Cabinet to the Prime Minister and Prime Minister's Office with political staff taking on a larger role relative to the Public Service, and parliament has lost its ability to call the elected government to account. With 50 years of combined experience in leadership positions in government, authors Lynch and Mitchell offer an expert's perspective on how to restore accountability and rebuild a culture of excellence by proposing a new blueprint for reshaping government. As Canadians face uncertainties at home and abroad, these practical and straightforward recommendations offer a path forward to ensure our nation's prosperity. -
Hidden River
Thirty-five year old Cassandra (aka Cass, Cassie, Cassidy, and Cassiopeia) Trout is going nowhere fast. Stuck in her hometown of Philadelphia, she spends her lackluster days working retail and running, and then rinse, repeat. But a surprise wedding invitation from an estranged childhood friend is set to change all that. Sally Sellers has made it big in London and is eager to flesh out her guest list. Cass and Sally were once inseparable, sharing everything from boys to beds. But secrets polluted their friendship--particularly Cass's illicit entanglement with Sally's father, Len, which began in adolescence, and ended with his untimely death. Will the wedding finally force Cass to reckon with her painful, hidden past? Can she heal well enough to truly grow into her own adulthood? And what does healing look like when the most damaging memories are also the ones that last? Sara Lippmann's Hidden River is an unforgettable masterwork by a writer at the top of her game. With a timeline that toggles between the summer of 2008 and the late 80s/early 90s, this lean but bold novel casts an intimate look at grooming in the era before #metoo. A fascinating blend of tragedy and dark comedy, a work of brutal emotional truths unearthed with lightness and grace, this exquisitely charged story, at once private and political, will linger in your mind--and earn a place in your heart.

Mutiny: The Rise and Revolt of the College-Educated Working Class
The story of a disillusioned generation that set out to reclaim its dignity and take on corporate America.
The anger of this college-educated working class began to boil over during the Covid pandemic, when workers at companies like Apple and Starbucks shocked corporate America by voting to unionize. Not long after, the veteran New York Times reporter Noam Scheiber met Chaya Barrett, an astute college grad and eight-year Apple employee who had stepped up and helped organize her coworkers at an Apple store near Baltimore. While following Barrett and her cohort as their seemingly spontaneous rebellions spread far and wide--from college-educated workers at Apple stores and Starbucks cafés, through video-game studios, and even to Hollywood writers' rooms--Scheiber realized he was witnessing something deep and lasting. Mutiny is the revelatory account of a generation made confident by their historic educational achievements, only to become disillusioned when their degrees yielded far less than they were taught to expect. With striking empathy, Scheiber paints a vivid portrait of this new working class while telling the dramatic story of its revolt against the status quo. He describes how recent developments like the proliferation of artificial intelligence and the war in Gaza have further fueled its discontent, and he explains why the college-educated working class will continue to demand change in the workplace, in cities like New York, and in national politics for years to come.
In recent years, young college grads have faced an alarming reality: crushing debt, unemployment, and jobs below their qualifications. They are frustrated that the time and money they invested in a degree have failed to bring about the opportunities they were promised. -
Lost Lambs
National bestseller. A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice. Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2026 by Vulture, Bustle, Good Housekeeping, Playboy, The Times (UK), Our Culture, Vol. 1 Brooklyn, and Harper's Bazaar. A Book Club Pick from Belletrist, Bustle, and Good Housekeeping.
"With her energetic prose and restless imagination, Cash does one better than survey the world; she reinvents it." ―Hannah Gold, The New Yorker "Madeline Cash is a voice like no other." --Lena Dunham
"If the Royal Tenenbaums were middle-class and likable, they'd be this madcap family." --The New York Times Book Review
Rippling with humor, warmth, and style, Lost Lambs is a new vision of the charms and pitfalls of family dysfunction. The Flynn family is coming undone. Catherine and Bud's open marriage has reached its breaking point as their daughters spiral in their own chaotic orbits: Abigail, the eldest, is dating a man in his twenties nicknamed War Crime Wes; Louise, the middle child, maintains a secret correspondence with an online terrorist; the brilliant youngest, Harper, is being sent to wilderness reform camp due to her insistence that someone--or something--is monitoring the town's citizens. Casting a shadow across their lives, and their small coastal town, is Paul Alabaster, a billionaire shipping magnate. Rumors of corruption circulate, but no one dares dig too deep. No one except Harper, whose obsession with a mysterious shipping container exposes a criminal conspiracy that unwittingly endangers her family--a crisis that just may bring them closer together. Irreverent and addictive, pinging between the voices of the Flynns and the characters around them, Madeline Cash's Lost Lambs is a debut novel of quick-witted observation and surprising tenderness. In it, Cash has crafted a family saga for the twenty-first century, all held together with crazy glue. -

Torn: Why People We Love Are Leaving the Church and What We Can Learn from Them
Torn.
That is how many faithful Latter-day Saints feel today.
Torn between love for the Church and love for someone who has stepped away.
Torn between deep faith and difficult questions.
Torn between the traditions they cherish and the tensions they can no longer ignore.
Across the Church, this struggle is unfolding quietly but powerfully. Parents ache over children who have left. Friends and families strain to understand one another. Leaders and teachers try to help. And many faithful members who remain devoted to the Church find themselves wrestling with tensions of their own as they try to reconcile deep faith with the complicated realities they see around them.
Torn was written for them.
Featuring a foreword by NFL Hall of Fame quarterback and faithful Latter-day Saint Steve Young, Torn explores one of the defining challenges facing the Latter-day Saint community today: why so many sincere, thoughtful, once-devoted members are stepping away from the Church-and what faithful members can learn from their experiences.
Drawing on one of the most comprehensive studies ever conducted on Latter-day Saint disaffiliation-including surveys of more than 20,000 current and former members-along with interviews, personal experience, and national research, author Jeff Strong-a former bishop, mission president, BYU faculty member, and advisor to the Church-offers rare clarity into a painful and often misunderstood reality. The research suggests that nearly 40 percent of once-active Latter-day Saints in the United States have stepped away from Church participation over the past twenty-five years.
But this book is about far more than statistics.
It is about sons and daughters. Husbands and wives. Friends and ward members. It is about thoughtful, sincere people striving to live with integrity-and the many believers who remain in the Church yet feel increasingly torn themselves.
Inside this book you will discover:
- why many sincere believers step away from the Church
- the deeper cultural tensions shaping faith today
- what faithful members can learn from those who leave
- how families can navigate these experiences with greater understanding
- how a more Christ-centered culture can strengthen faith and belonging
Readers often describe three powerful outcomes after reading Torn:
Validation - realizing they are not alone in the tensions they feel.
Understanding - new insight into the experiences of loved ones who have stepped away.
Hope - a renewed vision for a more Christ-centered community.
As one reader wrote:
"Finally, someone gets it."
Rooted in faith and written with deep love for the Church and its people, Torn does not ask readers to choose sides. Instead, it invites them to see more clearly, listen more deeply, and respond more like Jesus Christ.
If someone you love has stepped away from the Church-or if you yourself feel caught between faith, love, belonging, and conscience-this book will help you feel seen, informed, and hopeful.
Because being torn does not have to be the end of faith.
It can be the beginning of deeper understanding, stronger relationships, and a more Christlike way forward.

Angels & Man
A Queer Retelling of the Watcher's Flood
The angel Azazel is miserable in Heaven. In the aftermath of Satan's fall, the angels live in the reconstructed ruins of an old utopia, oppressive and paranoid of any new rebellion.
The angel Samyaza is content in Heaven, but he longs for the eternal city's former glory. Watching the feeble humans below, wallowing in sin for centuries after Adam and Eve, he sees opportunity to earn back the Lord's favor.
On Earth, the Watcher angels arrive to lecture on God's love, but the love of a human soon begins to seem much warmer.
