The Lessons
Poems.
My Favorite Tyrants
Winner of the 2014 Brittingham Prize in Poetry, selected by Naomi Shihab Nye The word “tyrant” carries negative connotations, but in this new collection, Joanne Diaz tries to understand what makes tyranny so compelling, even seductive. These dynamic, funny, often poignant poems investigate the nature of tyranny in all of its forms—political, cultural, familial, and erotic. Poems about Stalin, Lenin, and Castro appear beside poems about deeply personal histories. The result is a powerful exploration of desire, grief, and loss in a world where private relationships are always illuminated and informed by larger, more despotic forces. Winner, Midwest Book Award for Poetry, Midwest Independent Publishers Association

What's Wrong with Mommy
When JoAnne Diaz had her ninth child and moved into a new home a week later she experienced her second bout of postpartum depression. As opposed to her first mild bout of postpartum depression with her fourth child this bout was quite severe landing her in the emergency room. Enjoying a new baby and the home of dreams was supposed to be the happiest of times but instead it became the scariest time in her life. Faced with a wave of postpartum depression for months on end JoAnne battled what many mothers of newborns face: intrusive thoughts, severe anxiety and depression. During her recovery she vowed to help other women who were also battling this illness and so began writing her book. In her book she shares her personal story with postpartum depression and how she survived it. She hopes to break the stigma around this illness which is experienced by millions of women yet so very misunderstood.
Animals in the Rain Forest
"Illustrations and simple text describe a variety of animals in the rain forest over the course of one day."--
The Little Magazine in Contemporary America
Little magazines have often showcased the best new writing in America. They have historically served a dual function of representing the avant-garde of literary expression while also helping many emerging writers become established authors. Although changing technology and increasingly harsh financial realities now seem to threaten them even to the brink of extinction, the full story of the little magazine over the past thirty years is far more complicated. In this collection, Ian Morris and Joanne Diaz gather the reflections of twenty-three prominent editors of little magazines from this period on how they have innovated, sometimes thrived, sometimes (reluctantly) folded, but mainly persevered in the service of their founding literary ideals. Other topics covered include the role of the little magazine in promoting the workand concernsof minority and women writers; the place of universities in supporting and shaping little magazines; and the online and offline future of little magazine publication."
Daddy Loves You So Much
Demonstrates the different ways animal fathers love their offspring.
The End of Satisfaction
Heather Hirschfeld recovers the historical specificity and the conceptual vigor of the term "satisfaction" as used in dramas of the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries.
Unperfect Histories
A detailed exploration of a significant work of Tudor literature, The Mirror for Magistrates. The volume shows how the text is more than a moralistic collection of poems and how it is concerned with the transmission of national history, and the ways in which the past can be distorted, misremembered, misinterpreted, or lost.
Reading and Writing About Literature
Far less expensive than comparable guides, Reading and Writing about Literature: A Portable Guide is an ideal supplement for writing courses where literature anthologies and individual literary works that lack writing instruction are assigned. This brief guide introduces strategies for reading literature, explains the writing process and common writing assignments for literature courses, provides instruction in writing about fiction, poetry, and drama, and includes coverage of writing a research paper and of literary criticism and theory. This volume in the popular Bedford/St. Martin's series of Portable Anthologies and Guides offers a trademark combination of high quality and great value.
