Holly Freakin' Hughes
"Meet Holly Hughes, a moderately successful teen advice columnist living in a studio apartment on the Upper East Side with her boyfriend Stephen. She has it all, but at the ripe age of thirty-one, she wants more. She wants to be married, she wants a family, and she's going to have it all with Stephen. At least, that's what she thought, until Stephen announces he's gay, and the domino effect of unfortunate events begins. She soon finds herself unemployed, single, and living in her sister's house on Long Island, working as her niece's babysitter for less than minimum wage. She's pretty certain she's destined to live in the Land of Mediocrity forever. And then, her niece runs face-first into a tall, handsome man at the bookstore" -- Amazon.com.
Hold Fast
Poetry. "Holly J. Hughes writes poems that live, breathe, and 'dance two feelings at once.' They shine with gratitude; they are darkened by desire. They struggle against mortality; they bask in its beauty. HOLD FAST is set in midlife as change ravages family, nation, and the earth, when nostalgia starts pulling the mind one way, yearning the other. And still, Hughes never overlooks the glories of the ordinary, sensory world--an autumn swim in the lake, a tangle of branches brought indoors. I'm so moved by these poems. They've become my companions."--Kathleen Flenniken

Sight Lines
Winner of the 2019 National Book Award “The sight lines in Sze’s 10th collection are just that―imagistic lines strung together by jump-cuts, creating a filmic collage that itself seems to be a portrait of simultaneity.” ―The New York Times From the current phenomenon of drawing calligraphy with water in public parks in China to Thomas Jefferson laying out dinosaur bones on the White House floor, from the last sighting of the axolotl to a man who stops building plutonium triggers, Sight Lines moves through space and time and brings the disparate and divergent into stunning and meaningful focus.
