Which Side Are You On
Longlisted for the PEN/Hemingway Award for Debut Novel How can we live with integrity and pleasure in this world of police brutality and racism? An Asian American activist is challenged by his mother to face this question in this powerful—and funny—debut novel of generational change, a mother’s secret, and an activist’s coming-of-age Twenty-one-year-old Reed is fed up. Angry about the killing of a Black man by an Asian American NYPD officer, he wants to drop out of college and devote himself to the Black Lives Matter movement. But would that truly bring him closer to the moral life he seeks? In a series of intimate, charged conversations, his mother—once the leader of a Korean-Blac...
The Exodus
In a post-industrial world of energy scarcity, one man finds himself marooned on his island home. Once a major global hub for trade and finance, the island city now lies in ruin, its remaining inhabitants cut off from the world and struggling for existence. Faced with dwindling prospects and with nothing to lose, he leaves for another land, in search of a new beginning. The Exodus is a short story that follows a man's journey across a landscape vastly different from today. Along the way he reflects on a way of life once taken for granted, contrasting it with the stark reality he sees everywhere. Even so, life goes on and people are forced to adapt to the harsh circumstances with whatever resources are at hand. Not all is bleak, for there is also beauty amidst the devastation as nature reclaims the environment and a deeper connection to the land is regained. For anyone concerned with how our excessive modern lifestyle is wrecking the Earth and threatening the survival of humanity, this piece of speculative fiction paints a darkly vivid picture of what may come to pass in the not too distant future.
Peculiar Places
The queer recluse, the shambling farmer, the clannish hill folk—white rural populations have long disturbed the American imagination, alternately revered as moral, healthy, and hardworking, and feared as antisocial or socially uncouth. In Peculiar Places, Ryan Lee Cartwright examines the deep archive of these contrary formations, mapping racialized queer and disability histories of white social nonconformity across the rural twentieth-century United States. Sensationalized accounts of white rural communities’ aberrant sexualities, racial intermingling, gender transgressions, and anomalous bodies and minds, which proliferated from the turn of the century, created a national view of the pe...

The Character Virtues
No matter who you are, you are God’s special child. He has provided you with gifts and virtues to use. If you rely on those virtues to take you to the right road, then you can discover all the wonderful things life has to offer. The Character Virtues shares poems about twenty-two different traits that will support and direct you through good times and bad. For example, inspiration can help you understand that listening to God and trusting in him will bring you joy. Dedication means you can make and keep commitments every day. Gratitude keeps you focused on the positive things around you. Integrity leads you to do what is right, even when no one else is around. Dignity, strength, patience, faith, and many others all serve as guideposts on your journey. This collection of poems for children presents verses on twenty-two virtues, designed to teach and guide them away from a life of spiritual poverty and toward the real riches of faith.

The Art of the Sister Chapel
The Sister Chapel (1974-78) was an important collaborative installation that materialized at the height of the women?s art movement. Conceived as a nonhierarchical, secular commemoration of female role models, The Sister Chapel consisted of an eighteen-foot abstract ceiling that hung above a circular arrangement of eleven monumental canvases, each depicting the standing figure of a heroic woman. The choice of subject was left entirely to the creator of each work. As a result, the paintings formed a visually cohesive group without compromising the individuality of the artists. Contemporary and historical women, deities, and conceptual figures were portrayed by distinguished New York painters-...
