"A tender imagining and devastating reckoning, Jennifer Conlon's debut presents a poetry collection of gender questioning, concerned with the survival of trans and nonbinary kids who live in places that do not allow them to thrive. The speaker of these poems wrestles with and envisions a life beyond their traumatic childhood as a genderqueer child in a small Southern Bible Belt town.

Through thick North Carolina woods, Conlon searches for a language to celebrate queerness, finding it in ponds, hillsides, and within themselves"--

"Richard Hamilton's collection, Discordant, is a searing examination of injustice and America's obsession with the military. Built upon personal experiences as a substitute teacher and sustainable agriculturist, this collection is a widely informed and deeply rooted look at the many layers of structural discrimination and the overarching systems that perpetuate inequality. With quotes such as "America is one savage constitution in a bowl" and "Can we suffer their mouthful, blood and vomit, lobelia flowers to resuscitate, to dilate their lungs?" Hamilton works in close conjunction with the US's history of slavery, wars, and empire while simultaneously keeping the present at the foreground and constantly challenging the oppression that has long been commonplace.
