Winner of the 2019 Lexi Rudnitsky Editor’s Choice Award, this sensuous collection bravely endeavors to share the wisdom age confers. In Shoreless, her fifth collection of poetry, Enid Shomer continues to explore her passionate relationship with the Florida landscape, the inextricable web of family, and the challenges of the body. While studded with the austere recognitions of growing older, these poems are punctuated by humor and play—formally elegant and inventive, beautifully textured and nuanced. Throughout the book, Shomer employs the language of science and Eros to uncover the exquisite truths of pain and pleasure.

This book considers how we encounter and make meaning from extinction in diverse settings and cultures. It brings together an international and interdisciplinary range of scholars to consider how extinction is memorialised in museums and cultural institutions, through monuments, in literature and art, through public acts of ritual and protest, and in everyday practices. In an era in which species are becoming extinct at an unprecedented rate, we must find new ways to engage critically, creatively, and courageously with species loss. Extinction and Memorial Culture: Reckoning with Species Loss in the Anthropocene develops the conceptual tools to think in complex ways about extinctions and their aftermath, along with providing new insights into commemorating and mourning more-than-human lives. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of the environmental humanities, extinction studies, memorial culture, and the Anthropocene.

A haunting memoir that delves into obsessive compulsive disorder and explores what it is like living with violent intrusive thoughts. "In the Art of Memoir, Mary Karr wrote: 'In some ways, writing a memoir is knocking yourself out with your own fist, if it's done right.' By this measure, Jillian Halket's debut memoir, Blade in the Shadow, has surely been done right." - Ann Rawson, author of A Savage Art and The Witch House. From a young age, Jillian is obsessed with rituals to keep herself and others safe from the intense, dark thoughts. After moving to Glasgow, she hopes for a new beginning but the thoughts keep getting louder, so she escapes by pushing her body to unknown limits. Blade in the Shadow is a coming-of-age memoir filled with hope, sadness, strength and beautiful prose, in which Jillian shares her story of how darkly absurd life can be. Jillian Halket's debut memoir is a book that dispels myths surrounding OCD, substance abuse and sexual assault. She is a young, working-class, disabled woman from rural Scotland with a powerful and sensitive voice.
