Naming the Body: A Queer Woman's Restorative Mapping of the Self celebrates and reclaims a queer woman's uprooted, mothering, ailing body and an erased identity through memory and language. An identity that just three decades ago could not be claimed because women, especially queer women, didn't have the language to signify and embrace them. This collection of sixteen units of text, freeing itself from all form or expectations, is written with unequivocal honesty and one single goal in mind: to give voice to a silenced body. The result is literary patchwork, storytelling under the stars, a cry, a riddle, a manifesto, even a road map for the future! Naming the Body is a contemporary hybrid memoir in translation that places the body at the center of multiple realities through a unique, interrogative, and entertaining reading experience.

With a family and friends-Ivy is surrounded by a small circle of people who love her. She remembers what her mom always taught her-to spread that love, to be kind and compassionate above all else, no matter what challenges in life arise.

We Called It a War: Lessons Learned from the Fight to End Poverty is a first-hand account of Sargent Shriver's leadership of the War on Poverty, which he undertook under President Lyndon Johnson between 1964 and 1968. The memoir offers a rare inside view of how programs like Head Start, Community Action, Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA, now AmeriCorps VISTA), Job Corps, Legal Services, Neighborhood Health Centers, Foster Grandparents, Upward Bound, and Work-Study were conceived and implemented-and how Shriver's collaborative, community-based approach can be applied to tackling poverty in America today. The book gives the reader intimate insights into the opportunities and challenges of translating President Johnson's audacious pledge to end poverty into a working set of social programs that continue to uplift and empower communities across the United States today.

In leading the anti-poverty effort, Shriver was tasked with drafting the requisite legislation, ushering it through a skeptical Congress, creating the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO), and recruiting the talented anti-poverty warriors who would take the OEO from concept to implementation.

Shriver's words reveal a public administrator skilled at creating major social policy; a global citizen driven by his spiritual faith and commitment to social justice; a principled pragmatist who successfully executed grand ideas; a social entrepreneur whose skeptical approach to bureaucracy enabled him to liberate the creative energies of the diverse individuals who collaborated with him; and a politician who earned the trust and respect of his adversaries.

Shriver's words remind us that to achieve equal opportunity and justice for all, we must again create an environment that nurtures bold ideas and empowers decisive, community-based action.

One of the greatest films never finished. One of Hollywood's most dangerous alliances. One enduring legend.

In the late 1920s, at the height of silent cinema's reckless glamour, three formidable figures set out to make an impossible film. Gloria Swanson, the era's most dazzling star. Erich von Stroheim, cinema's most obsessive and uncompromising auteur. And Joseph P. Kennedy, a ruthless financier with ambitions far beyond Hollywood. The result was Queen Kelly-a production so extravagant, scandalous, and volatile that it collapsed before completion, leaving behind fragments, myths, and a curse that would haunt everyone involved.

In The Curse of Queen Kelly, Pamela Hutchinson reconstructs the full, astonishing saga of this infamous film: a tale of artistic obsession, moral panic, sexual politics, power struggles, and personal betrayal. Drawing on archival research and vivid storytelling, she traces how a doomed collaboration became one of cinema history's most notorious cautionary tales-and how Swanson spent decades fighting to preserve its legacy.

Part film history, part Hollywood tragedy, The Curse of Queen Kelly is a gripping account of creative ambition pushed to the brink, and a meditation on what survives when a film is torn apart but refuses to die.

"Eat. They twisted in deeper. Eat. Still so simple. An impulse. Repeated again and again. Eat..."

Because the tenants of Leigh Pierce are disappearing.

Live-in handyman Xavier seems to be the only one who notices. Or cares. After a chance encounter with the culprit leaves him infected with something horrifying, Xavier is thrust into a surreal nightmare of starvation and consumption all too familiar to his gentrifying Atlanta neighborhood.

Succumbing to his infection, Xavier is drawn into the cobbled-together family squatting in Leigh Pierce's basement. People who, through a myriad of doomed roads, fell into the same self-destructive cycle of indigency, harboring dark secrets... and darker appetites. Trapped in a dynamic of codependency and complicity, Xavier and his family- new and old- are forced to confront the cost of survival in a world that has disregarded them.

"While the Patient Slept" is a chilling Golden Age mystery that features the introduction of one of fiction's most enduring amateur sleuths, Nurse Sarah Keate.
