What's Left Is the Singing
In this accomplished book, Mary Kay Rummel spins words into mysticism and magic. "Not to be ordinary," she was drawn into the convent where she was forbidden to read fiction because the Superior didn't like it. In "Patterns of Obedience," she writes that she was able to leave when "words whispered in that wind/telling her to go forth and read, to never ask again." Set free, she read and wrote and traveled, visiting early Irish history and myth. Throughout her book, bells chime in celebration as her words become exquisite lyric poems. -Jill Breckenridge, Poet, The Gravity of Flesh If you delight in plunging into an environment's sensual and emotional landscape; if you thrill to poetry that se...

The Book of Light
With a powerful introduction by Ross Gay and a moving afterword by Sidney Clifton, this special anniversary edition of The Book of Light offers new meditations and insights on one of the most beloved voices of the 20th century. Though The Book of Light opens with thirty-nine names for light, we soon learn the most meaningful name is Lucille—daughter, mother, proud Black woman. Known for her ability to convey multitudes in few words, Clifton writes into the shadows—her father’s violations, a Black neighborhood bombed, death, loss—all while illuminating the full spectrum of human emotion: grief and celebration, anger and joy, empowerment and so much grace. A meeting place of myth and t...
This Body She's Entered
Mary Kay Rummel's work brings to life her journey to reclaim her spirituality and sexuality from a religion that fostered hatred of the body, misogyny, and literal and psychological self-flagellation.
Love in the End
Poetry. The lyrical poems in LOVE IN THE END depict a pilgrim woman as she follows the mother who has died and left her with only questions and the random winds of death and suffering. She climbs uphill, downhill, up again on her own way out of the world, finding other travelers, both strangers and family, and so much love in the 'long history of work.' Her journey continues until she no longer seeks to possess those she loves, and a 'spirit comes/a boat flaming on the river.' Her love transformed, she finds presence in absence: 'Those not here are here.'
A Bird Black as the Sun
In this diverse anthology, over 80 poets of the Golden State hold forth on the theme of crows and ravens offering passionate, vivid, sometimes humorous, and ever-surprising views of these common birds that live among us, but retain their mystery. Herein lies a lively exploration of the dark muse: proof that these paradoxical birds, called "black as the sun" by Gary Snyder, continue to fascinate, and are busier than ever strutting, flying, perching, preening, and disturbing the peace of poets with their raucous noise.
Word Ghetto
A very dear friend asked Loretta, "When are you going to write a novel and make some real money? You have some great ideas." Her answer for now is this. Novelists take ideas and create stories. Poets take a word and create a universe. If one is blessed to be both, what a gift they are to the world. One day she hopes to write a novel. But today she is a poet and music teacher at Reagan Elementary in Odessa, Texas. She graduated from Ector High School, received a Bachelor of Music Education degree from Texas Tech University and earned a Master's of Elementary Education from the University of Texas at the Permian Basin. Loretta is active in her community through membership in organizations such...
Reflections on the Learning Sciences
This volume offers a historical and critical analysis of the emerging field of the learning sciences, which takes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding and improving how children and adults learn. It features a wide range of authors, including established scholars who founded and guided the learning sciences through the initial turbulence of forming a new line of academic inquiry, as well as newcomers who are continuing to shape the field. This diversity allows for a broad yet selective perspective on what the learning sciences are, why they came to be, and how contributors conduct their work. Reflections on the Learning Sciences serves both as a starting point for discussion among scholars familiar with the discipline and as an introduction for those interested in learning more. It will benefit graduate students and researchers in computer science, educational psychology, instructional technology, science, engineering, and mathematics.
Sister Sorrow
Rachel Landrum Crumble's hard-won collection of faith and doubt Sister Sorrow traces a lifetime of decoding a childhood with a beautiful, artistic, schizophrenic mom, experiencing otherness through international travel, becoming a Yankee transplant to the South, marriage as a white woman in 1981 to a Black man and raising biracial children in Chattanooga, TN in the 80's and 90's. It explores cycles of depression and grief over her mother's suicide, and how, although recursive, grief can also lead to wisdom, and a deepening capacity for joy. Sister Sorrow embraces the awkward and the ridiculous as essential aspects of our humanity.
