The Sky was Once a Dark Blanket
"The Sky Was Once a Dark Blanket traverses the Southwest landscape, exploring intricate relationships between Native peoples and nature, land, pop culture, 20th century music and representations, and tradition. Oscillating between 20th century Indigenous musical influences (including the repercussions of ethnomusicology and armchair anthropology) and the present/past/future, the collection re-writes and re-rights what it means to be Indigenous, specifically a young (formerly emo) Diné person, in the 21st century. "Time is read backwards in the rock-body"... time is reframed and recontextualized according to the original peoples of these lands and how they view their own histories, family histories, personal histories, etc"--

Field Guide for Accidents
SELECTED BY MAHOGANY L. BROWNE FOR THE NATIONAL POETRY SERIES An irreverent poetry collection that wrestles with questions of family, mortality, cultural history, and identity from the Filipinx-American experience "you showed him your teeth, you dared him to look into your mouth to see the metal bands straightening your jaw into an American smile."—from Field Guide for Accidents Born in the United States to Filipino immigrants, poet Albert Abonado is no stranger to the language of periphery. Neither wholly “American” nor Filipino, Field Guide for Accidents’s speakers are defined by what they are not: not white enough to be born in America, not Asian enough to feel at home in the Phil...
Transgenesis
An excavatory collection of poems tracing the connections between Jewish transfemininity, queer desire, and cultural histories. Selected by Sean Hill for the National Poetry Series, this collection is a scrupulous chronicle of individual and cultural knowledge. In an exceptional debut, Ava Nathaniel Winter challenges our concepts of the beautiful and the sacred, delving not only into the historically marginalized, but also into the chilling subconscious of supremacy. “Let me be clear / from this beginning,” she writes, “What I mean by beauty / is a terror I have fled from / into language.” Winter writes with a documentarian’s attention, a poet’s resonance. “I’m trying,” she...

The Image of Elizabeth I in Early Modern Spain
Queen Elizabeth I was an iconic figure in England during her reign, with many contemporary English portraits and literary works extolling her virtue and political acumen. In Spain, however, her image was markedly different. While few Spanish fictional or historical writings focus primarily on Elizabeth, numerous works either allude to her or incorporate her as a character. The Image of Elizabeth I in Early Modern Spain explores the fictionalized, historical, and visual representations of Elizabeth I and their impact on the Spanish collective imagination. Drawing on works by Miguel de Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Pedro de Ribadeneira, Luis de Góngora, Cristóbal de Virués, Antonio Coello, and C...
The Safeguard of the Sea
Throughout Britain's history, one factor above all others has determined the fate of the nation: its navy. N. A. M. Rodger's definitive account reveals how the political and social progress of Britain has been inextricably intertwined with the strength - and weakness - of its sea power, from the desperate early campaigns against the Vikings to the defeat of the great Spanish Armada. Covering policy, strategy, ships, recruitment and weapons, this is a superb tapestry of nearly 1,000 years of maritime history. 'No other historian has examined the subject in anything like the detail found here. The result is an outstanding example of narrative history' Barry Unsworth, Sunday Telegraph
