God's Will for Monsters
Rachelle Cruz's debut collection is beyond ready to burst itself open, and bleed. Savor these poems, suck the marrow from their bones. These are lovely, complex poems, "sweet and bitter as a plum," a braised heart, blood-warmed and wet. -Barbara Jane Reyes
Love Your Life Not Theirs
In Love Your Life, Not Theirs, Rachel Cruze shines a spotlight on the most damaging money habit we have: comparing ourselves to others. Then she unpacks seven essential money habits for living the life we really want--a life in line with our values, where we can afford the things we want to buy without being buried under debt, stress, and worry. The Joneses are broke. Life looks good, but hidden beneath that glossy exterior are credit card bills, student loans, car payments, and an out-of-control mortgage. Their money situation is a mess, and they're trying to live a life they simply can't afford. So why exactly do we try so hard to keep up with the Joneses? Are we really living the lives we...
Saving My Assassin
“I should be dead. Buried in an unmarked grave in Romania. Obviously, I am not. God had other plans.” A must-read for all generations, Saving My Assassin is the unforgettable account of one woman’s search for truth, her defiance in the face of evil, and a surprise encounter that proves without a shadow of a doubt that nothing is impossible with God. At just under five feet tall, Virginia Prodan was no match for the towering 6' 10" gun-wielding assassin the Romanian government sent to her office to take her life. It was not the first time her life had been threatened―nor would it be the last. As a young attorney under Nicolae Ceausescu’s brutal communist regime, Virginia had spent h...
Fire and Prophecy
The Great Sickness was new to everyone and there was no known cure. Little was known of its origins. But the first human falling ill from it died after 10 days, a farmer from the southeast states. From this moment, it spread with alarming rapidity. After months of mounting disorder as the sickness decimated one population after another, and resources dwindled, the Great War erupted. The war burnt itself out, leaving behind the smouldering ruins of many cities, lands, and peoples. Families dispersed, many got ill and died, and some went missing. To maintain the fragile peace in what remained, a new world order was created: Nova. It was divided into eight regions, each ruled by a Governor or A...
Kuwento
A new collection of stories, essays, poems, artwork incorporating elements of traditional Filipino myths by contemporary Filipino authors from the United States and the Philippines.
Diwata
Tagalog is a language spoken by twenty-two million people in the Philippines. Diwata is a Tagalog term meaning "muse." Diwata is also a term for a mythical being who resides in nature, and who human communities must acknowledge, respect, and appease in order to live harmoniously in this world. In her book Diwata, Barbara Jane Reyes frames her poems between the Book of Genesis creation story and the Tagalog creation myth, placing her work somewhere culturally between both traditions. Also setting the tone for her poems is the death and large shadow cast by her grandfather, a World War II veteran and Bataan Death March survivor, who has passed onto her the responsibility of remembering. Reyes'...

Furious Dusk
Rhina P. Espaillat, judge of the 2014 Andrés Montoya Poetry Prize, describes Furious Dusk, David Campos’s winning collection, as "a work whose five parts trace a son’s efforts—only partially successful—to fulfill his father’s expectations and—perhaps even more difficult—understand those expectations enough to forgive them.” The poet's reflections are catalyzed by learning of his father’s impending death, which, in turn, forces him to examine his father’s expectations against his own evolving concept of what it means to be a man. The poems' speaker sifts through his past to find the speckles of memory that highlight the pressures to fit the mold of masculinity forged both...
