A 2019 Prose Award Finalist What is the role of literary studies in an age of Twitter threads and viral news? If the study of literature today is not just about turning to classic texts with age-old questions, neither is it a rejection of close reading or critical inquiry. Through the lived experience of a humanities professor in a rapidly changing world, this book explores how the careful study of literature and culture may be precisely what we need to navigate our dizzying epoch of post-truth politics and ecological urgency.

Twitter, Instagram ve viral videolar çağında edebiyat çalışmalarının rolü nedir? Edebiyat öğretmek ve öğrenmek yalnızca asırlık sorularla klasik metinleri okumamaksa, yakın okuma veya eleÅŸtirel bakışın reddi de deÄŸildir. İçinde yaÅŸadığımız hakikat sonrası çaÄŸ, aynı zamanda insanların inançlarının, estetik anlayışlarının, tüketici alışkanlıklarının, seyahat araçlarının ve inandıkları politikaların bir çembere alındığı baÄŸnaz bölünme çağıdır. Bir edebiyat profesörü olan Christopher Schaberg, hızla deÄŸiÅŸen dünyada yaÅŸadığı tecrübeleri aracılığıyla, hakikat sonrası siyaset ve ekolojik önceliklerin baÅŸ döndürücÃ...

The Complete Stories announces its desire and its lie in the title; this is a book of shatter and loss. In his second collection, Noah Warren—previously selected by Carl Phillips for the Yale Series of Younger Poets—unravels histories both personal and public, picking apart their ugliness, beauty, and irreducible singularity. Clothed in broken forms, these poems of grieving and tentative joy ask finally how we can go forward with our own mottled pasts, into the futures we can’t predict but for which we must bear responsibility.
It is a long bridge. Sunlight scatters down through the cedar shakes and the rough-hewn beams. Above each entrance, the leaves of the cottonwood catch and turn in the wind. Below, the river drifts past the limestone piers. This is Jared Carter's fourth collection of poems. He continues to tell us about a place called Mississinewa County. His poems reach out to the stories, myths, and recollections of an entire continent.

As a young man, New York Times bestselling author John Dunning earned his living for several years working behind the scenes on the racetrack circuit. Now he brings his memories of the horse world and his expertise in collectible books to this mesmerizing new Bookman novel rich with the lore of both books and horses. . . . Denver bookman Cliff Janeway would have liked Candice Geiger. She loved books with a true bookwoman's passion. Her collection of first-edition children's books is the best that Janeway ever hopes to see. Sadly, Janeway and Candice Geiger will never meet. She died much too young. Now, twenty years later, her books remain a testament to an extraordinary woman's remarkable vi...
Dancing between lyric and narrative, Hafizah Geter's debut collection moves readers through the fraught internal and external landscapes—linguistic, cultural, racial, familial—of those whose lives are shaped and transformed by immigration. The Nigerian-born daughter of a Nigerian-Muslim woman and a Black man born into a Southern Baptist family in the Jim Crow South and George Wallace's Alabama, Geter charts the history of a Black family of mixed citizenships through poems complicated by migration, language, racism, queerness, loss, belief and lapsed faith, and the heartbreak of trying to feel at home in a country that does not recognize you. Amidst considerations of family and country, G...
