Implosion
What could be cooler, thinks teen Elizabeth Garber in 1965, than to live in a glass house designed by her architect dad? Ever since childhood, she’s adored everything he loves—his XKE Jaguar, modern art, and his Eames black leather chair—and she’s been inspired by his passionate intensity as he teaches her about modern architecture. When Woodie receives a commission to design a high-rise dormitory—a tower of glass—for the University of Cincinnati, Elizabeth, her mother and brothers celebrate with him. But less than twenty years later, Sander Hall, the mirror-glass dormitory, will be dynamited into rubble. Implosion: Memoir of an Architect’s Daughter delves into the life of visi...

A Game Of Hide And Seek
'Her stories remain with one, indelibly, as though they had been some turning-point in one's own experience' - Elizabeth Bowen, author of The Heat of the Day Intelligent and haunting, with echoes of Brief Encounter, this is a love story by one of the best British writers of the 20th century. During summer games of hide and seek Harriet falls in love with Vesey and his elusive, teasing ways. When he goes to Oxford she cherishes his photograph and waits for a letter that never comes. Years pass and Harriet stifles her dreams; with a husband and daughter, she excels at respectability. But then Vesey reappears and her marriage seems to melt away. Harriet is older, it is much too late, but she is still in love with him.

Pierced by the Seasons
Elizabeth Garbers collection of poems invites us to intimately experience her vision of the small coastal town in Maine where she lives. Through her eyes, we share the poignancy of her observations throughout a year of seasons. Each poem is lovingly crafted, richly compelling and glows with a radiant awareness. Warm yourself with haiku composed while she cross-country skis on fresh snow along a stream. Refresh yourself with a poem of kayaking at dawn out of a small harbor. Feel the rhythm of a daily life, walking past streets of white clapboard houses on her morning walk to the ocean and listening to patient stories in her acupuncture office.You will be moved and changed from reading her poems honoring the grief of a widower, her son turning 18, and the end of a romance. Youll find yourself seeing more deeply into the simple moments of your life after reading a poem about shopping with her daughter, and playing in a blizzard with her mother. This collection awakens a yearning for more awareness, joy and compassion in our daily lives.
Passing and the Fictions of Identity
Passing refers to the process whereby a person of one race, gender, nationality, or sexual orientation adopts the guise of another. Historically, this has often involved black slaves passing as white in order to gain their freedom. More generally, it has served as a way for women and people of color to access male or white privilege. In their examination of this practice of crossing boundaries, the contributors to this volume offer a unique perspective for studying the construction and meaning of personal and cultural identities. These essays consider a wide range of texts and moments from colonial times to the present that raise significant questions about the political motivations inherent...
