Cosmic Diaspora
"Growing up on the outskirts of the universe-provincial Ukrainian steppes, Jake Marmer was a devout reader of science fiction, in particular that of Eastern European masters, Strugatsky Brothers and Stanislaw Lem. At some point coveted translations of American sci-fi classics started to slide under the curtain. They were to him all the more otherworldly for their foreignness, for the shadow of another language and culture, which, even without aliens or portals, felt as remote as an extraterrestrial civilization. After settling in the U.S., he let go of sci-fi for nearly two decades. Perhaps because "alien"-"resident alien," "legal alien"-were trigger words for him as an immigrant. Encounteri...

The Last Holiday
“Engrossing and even at times uplifting, Scott-Heron’s self-portrait grants us insights into one of the most influential African American musicians of his generation.” —Booklist The stunning memoir of Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award winner Gil Scott-Heron, The Last Holiday has been praised for bringing back to life one of the most important voices of the last fifty years.

Checking in
Checking In comprises a long poem and a series of other post-conceptual pieces - concrete poems, homolinguistic translations, Yiddish aphorisms - that offer exuberant commentary on the timelessness of digital information and our ravenous appetite for data and connection. The title poem, composed as a series of faux social-media updates, is a parodic investigation of contemporary literary and pop culture. As a euphoric parade of "alternative facts" or "fake news," "Checking In" offers satiric comment on the state of American politics. Each ironically investigative line erupts as a self-reflexive mash-up, speaking to our seemingly insatiable desire for information while acknowledging how fraug...

Lives of the Dead
Hanoch Levin's poetry stands alone as a single volume in his collected works, which run to fifteen volumes of drama and prose. Levin's poetic voice mordant, witty, irreverent, erotic, and highly satirical, yet also whimsical and delicate is arresting, distinctive, and unusual.
The Murmuring Deep
From one of the most innovative and acclaimed biblical commentators at work today, here is a revolutionary analysis of the intersection between religion and psychoanalysis in the stories of the men and women of the Bible. For centuries scholars and rabbis have wrestled with the biblical narrative, attempting to answer the questions that arise from a plain reading of the text. In The Murmuring Deep, Avivah Zornberg informs her literary analysis of the text with concepts drawn from Freud, Winnicott, Laplanche, and other psychoanalytic thinkers to give us a new understanding of the desires and motivations of the men and women whose stories form the basis of the Bible. Through close readings of ...
