Famous Americans
This year’s winner of the Yale Series of Younger Poets competition is Loren Goodman’s Famous Americans. Hilarious, eclectic, and bizarre, this collection takes the reader on a rollercoaster of a ride through the absurdities of American pop culture. Employing a variety of forms (from epistolary to script to interview and beyond), this work proves to be as much about exploring frameworks as it is about examining the lives of famous and not-so-famous Americans. Goodman questions our concept of what it means to be an icon: he disrupts our assumptions, creating an alternate universe in which nothing remains sacred.
non-existent facts
As Elaine Equi writes: We once lived in a world of "just the facts" and have now transitioned into a time of "alternative facts." But Loren Goodman's new book announces the next era - that of "Non-Existent Facts." He shows in a witty way the vast amount of fantasy that makes up history itself - and how non-facts sharing untruth in common become joyously interchangeable as eras collapse into each other. "Sir Mix-a-lot" hangs out with "Queen Arthur" and "King Guinevere." And "You know the legend of King Midas: everything he touched turned to mufflers."
The Widow’S Covenant
Your past can be as unpredictable as your future if you dont know what is following you. Glenda was adopted as a small child. Her past had been effectively erased, and her future had been planned for her. It wasnt until after her doctor husband had been killed in a car accident and she and her daughter, Darla, were alone that she realized life had a dark side. Having an orphans mentality, Glenda finds herself as many adopted children doseeking her identity, defining herself as a woman. Four years after her husbands death, she meets Loren, a lawyer, with a past of his own. Lies from the past and promises for the future prompt her to seek the Fathers love. In whatever form the Tempter takesstalking cougar, deadly viper, or the beautiful green-eyed Deethe thief comes to steal and destroy. Sinister oak trees, including the courthouse hanging tree across the street from Glendas coffee shop, reveal the darkness of the human soul and lead to the cross where justice is demanded.

Firsts
A masterfully curated collection, drawn from a century of works in the acclaimed Yale Series of Younger Poets The Yale Younger Poets prize is the oldest annual literary award in the United States. Its winners include some of the most influential voices in American poetry, including Adrienne Rich, John Ashbery, Margaret Walker, Carolyn Forché, and Robert Hass. In celebration of the prize's centennial, this collection presents three selections from each Younger Poets volume. It serves as both a testament to the enduring power and significance of poetic expression and an exploration of the ways poetry has evolved over the past century. In addition to judiciously assembling this wide-ranging anthology, Carl Phillips provides an introduction to the history and impact of the Yale Younger Poets prize and its winners in the wider context of American poetry, including the evolving roles of race, gender, and sexual orientation.
Some Common Weaknesses Illustrated
Some Common Weakness Illustrated, Carson Cistulli's first book, is a series of unexpected meditations on overlooked parts of life. Combining formalism with poetic experiment, his poems shed light on his peculiar condition of feeling that he is trapped inside of a poem while being addicted to sports-basketball and baseball in particular. In these poems language seems to replace meaning, while feeding our spectacular, collective appetite for the truth. Yale Series Poetry Award Winner, Loren Goodman writes: Carson Cistulli's book of poems is like the rabbit that pulls the magician into his hat. It is like an enormous handkerchief spewing out colorful severed hands. It is like the woman who uses her naked body to cut saws in half.
Man-Made
Walkley Award-winning journalist Tracey Spicer exposes the next frontier of feminism. Man-Made aims to open readers’ eyes to a transformative technological shift in society and give them the tools to make positive change. Winner, 2023 Australian Business Book Awards, Social Responsibility Longlisted for the 2023 Walkley Book Award 'Mum, I want a robot slave.' Broadcaster Tracey Spicer had an epiphany when her young son uttered these six words. Suddenly, her life’s work fighting inequality seemed futile. What’s the point in agitating to change the present, if bigotry is being embedded into our futures? And so began a quest to uncover who was responsible and hold them to account. Who is ...
The Quickest Revolution
Since their invention, computers have kept revolutionizing the world at a staggering pace. And yet, if on one side this ongoing revolution keeps providing an incessant stream of novel and previously unimaginable technologies, on the other, as with all revolutions, its profound effects threaten to upend much of the previous world order. Facing the many questions that this change is urgently raising will require to acquire a novel and interdisciplinary understanding of the powerful forces that govern this process. Sitting squarely at the crossroads of computer science, history, socioeconomics, ethics, and philosophy, and written by an insider who contributed foundational work to many of the latest and most pervasive technologies this book offers a much-needed reframing of the past, present and future of computing, that goes far beyond the typical chronological record of events and arms us with a uniquely broad and integrated analysis of their complex origins and their numerous side effects.
