No Names
Inspired by the iconic punk scene of the late '70s, No Names blurs the lines of affection and sexuality in a haunting tale of desire, hope, and loss. Mike and Pete were "no names," two working-class boys lost in the shuffle of their stratified town, brought together by their love of music. By 1978, their punk band was blazing across the underground scene. Now, in 1993, Mike is a hermit living alone on a dot of an island in the North Atlantic. When a mysterious letter from an unlikely fan named Isaac arrives, he's pulled right back into the pain he’s spent over a decade running from. Isaac longs for an escape from his lonely teenage life. A chance discovery of the No Names’ only album catapults him into an obsession with the godlike rockers and the tantalizing possibility of connection. As their stories collide, mistakes breed consequences that echo through the decades like the furious reverberations of a power chord.
Once an Engineer
A funny, tragic, garlicky chronicle of growing up on the wrong side of the tracks in Central New York.
The Devil You Know
Mobsters are like politicians, but more honest A family trip to the museum goes sideways for Erin O’Reilly when a drugged, disoriented young woman stumbles into her on the street. The girl pleads for help and leads Erin to a parked car, where a man lies dead of an apparent drug overdose. A simple investigation quickly derails when the victim turns out to be the son of a prominent politician. The grieving father, locked in a tight re-election struggle, doesn’t want to cooperate with the police. Soon Erin finds herself embroiled in political backstabbing and under-the-table dealing. To make matters worse, she’s also running afoul of the darker politics of the New York underworld. While she and her lover Morton Carlyle slowly build their case against the Irish Mob, Erin confronts notorious Mafia underboss Vinnie “The Oil Man” Moreno, trying to find the links between the Mob’s drug trade and a death that has begun to look more and more like an assassination. Erin will need her wits, street smarts, and her K-9 Rolf’s sharp nose and relentless drive if she’s going to unravel this conspiracy.
The Shadowgraph
"In poems that meditate on American film, James Cihlar explores how images, performance, and memory shape LGBTQ identity. Golden age Hollywood cinema-in particular the career of fiercely independent actress Barbara Stanwyck-provides the screen on which Cihlar projects lives bravely led despite risks. Cihlar's commentary of individual films-as well as human identity and desire-are intense, smart, and right on target"--
The Eros Conspiracy
Romantic poets, revolutionaries, and gay icons lend their voices to these communiqués from lover to beloved, turning starry-eyed clichés on their heads. A carnivalesque eroticism pervades as Beauty, History, Love, and Revolution meet in this intrigue-fueled dramatic monologue from Minnesota poet Greg Hewett, whose previous collection Red Suburb was a BookSense Poetry Top Ten selection and winner of the Publishing Triangle Award.
Who’s Yer Daddy?
Who’s Yer Daddy? offers readers of gay male literature a keen and engaging journey. In this anthology, thirty-nine gay authors discuss individuals who have influenced them—their inspirational “daddies.” The essayists include fiction writers, poets, and performance artists, both honored masters of contemporary literature and those just beginning to blaze their own trails. They find their artistic ancestry among not only literary icons—Walt Whitman, Oscar Wilde, André Gide, Frank O’Hara, James Baldwin, Edmund White—but also a roster of figures whose creative territories are startlingly wide and vital, from Botticelli to Bette Midler to Captain Kirk. Some writers chronicle an ent...

American Tensions
This anthology of contemporary American poetry, short fiction, and nonfiction, explores issues of identity, oppression, injustice, and social change. Living American writers produced each piece between 1980 and the present; works were selected based on literary merit and the manner in which they address one or more pressing social issues. William Reichard has assembled some of the most respected literary artists of our time, asking whose voices are ascendant, whose silenced, and why. The work as a whole reveals shifting perspectives and the changing role of writing in the social justice arena over the last few decades.
Metagnosis
"This book identifies and names the phenomenon of metagnosis: the experience of newly learning in adulthood of a longstanding condition. It can occur when the condition has remained undetected (e.g. colorblindness) and/or when the diagnostic categories themselves have shifted (e.g. ADHD). More broadly, it can occur with unexpected revelations bearing upon selfhood, such as surprising genetic test results. This phenomenon has received relatively scant attention, yet learning of an unknown condition is frequently a significant and bewildering revelation, subverting narrative expectations and customary categories"--
