SUMMARY:Andrew Joseph White on Hell Followed with Us: Young Adult Horror

The ALC’s leader\, Nick\, is gorgeous\, autistic\, and a deadly shot\, and he knows Benji’s darkest secret: The cult’s bioweapon is mutating him into a monster deadly enough to wipe humanity from the Earth once and for all. Still\, Nick offers Benji shelter among his ragtag group of queer teens\, as long as Benji can control the monster and use its power to defend the ALC. Eager to belong\, Benji accepts Nick’s terms … until he discovers the ALC’s mysterious leader has a hidden agenda\, and more than a few secrets of his own.

SUMMARY:2021 National Poetry Series Winner Shelley Puhak
DESCRIPTION:The National Poetry Series was established in 1978 to recognize and promote excellence in contemporary poetry by ensuring the publication of five books of poetry annually through participating publishers. In addition\, the National Poetry Series has partnered with Miami Book Fair to award the Paz Prize in Poetry\, which ensures bilingual publication for a book of poems written in Spanish. This conversation features Shelley Puhak on Harbinger: Poems\, speaking with poet Campbell McGrath\, Nouns & Verbs: New and Selected Poems. Seen through the lens of motherhood\, of working as a waitress\, of watching election results come in\, or of simply sitting in a waiting room\, making art – and making an artist – is a process wherein historical events collide with lived experience\, both deeply personal but also unfailingly political. When we make art\, for what (and to whom) are we accountable? And what does art-making demand of us\, especially as apocalypse looms? Puhak shows us the reality of the constantly evolving and unstable self\, a portrait of the artist as fragmentary\, impressionable\, and always in flux. With a special introduction by Daniel Halpern\, founder of HarperCollins imprint Ecco and the National Poetry Series. \nIn partnership with \n \n

DESCRIPTION:In Fantastic Numbers and Where to Find Them: A Cosmic Quest from Zero to Infinity\, leading theoretical physicist and cosmologist Antonio Padilla offers an irreverent cosmic tour of nine of the most extraordinary numbers in physics\, offering a startling picture of how the universe works – and how mathematical truths have led to new understandings of the ultimate nature of reality.

SUMMARY:Percival Everett on Dr. No: A Novel: Fiction
DESCRIPTION:The protagonist of Percival Everett’s Dr. No: A Novel is a brilliant professor of mathematics who goes by “Wala Kitu.” Wala\, he explains\, means “nothing” in Tagalog\, as does Kitu\, in Swahili – he is an expert on nothing. That is to say\, he is an expert\, and his area of study is nothing\, and he does nothing about it. This makes him the perfect partner for aspiring villain John Sill\, whose desire to become a literal Bond villain originated in some genuine nefariousness around the murder of Martin Luther King Jr. Joining Everett is writer and fiction editor David Lerner Schwartz.

SUMMARY:Rhea Ewing on Fine: A Comic About Gender: Nonfiction
DESCRIPTION:When Rhea Ewing neared college graduation in 2012\, they became consumed by the question: “What is gender?” The obsession sparked a quest in which they eagerly approached friends and strangers in their quiet Midwest town for interviews to turn into comics. A decade later\, Fine: A Comic About Gender now presents a sweeping portrait of the intricacies of gender expression with interviewees from all over the country. Questions such as “How do you identify?” produced fiercely honest stories about adolescence\, taking hormones\, and changing pronouns. The answers also underscored how these experiences can differ – often drastically – depending on culture\, race\, and religion. Moderating is Joan Hilty\, executive editor at Avatar Studios.

SUMMARY:Sharon Olds on Balladz: Poetry
DESCRIPTION:“At the time of have-not\, I look at myself in this mirror\,” writes Sharon Olds in Balladz\, a self-scouring\, exhilarating volume which opens with a section of quarantine poems\, and at its center boasts what she calls Amherst Balladz (whose syntax honors Emily Dickinson: “she was our Girl – our Woman – / Man enough – for me”) and many more in her own contemporary\, long-flowing-sentence rhythm. Olds sings of her childhood\, young womanhood\, and maturity all mixed up together\, seeing an early lover in the one who is about to buried; seeing her white privilege without apology; seeing her mother (whom her readers will recognize) “flushed exalted at Punishment time”; seeing how we’ve spoiled the Earth but carrying a stray indoor spider carefully back out to the garden. It is Olds’ gift to us that in the richly detailed exposure of her sorrows she can still elegize songbirds\, her true kin\, and write that heaven comes here in life\, not after it. Joining her to moderate is Mary Sutton\, Academy of American Poets senior content editor. \nIn partnership with

SUMMARY:Desiree Cooper on Nothing Special: Picture Book
DESCRIPTION:Six-year-old Jax can’t wait to leave Detroit and spend a week with his grandparents in coastal Virginia\, where he’s sure he’ll be spoiled with the kinds of special things he enjoys at home: toys\, movies\, and hamburgers. As he dreams of the adventures he’ll have\, his PopPop has other ideas. He fills their days with timeless summer fun – crabbing\, shucking corn\, and counting fireflies. Illustrated entirely of repurposed textiles\, Nothing Special by Desiree Cooper celebrates the enduring connection between the generations who stayed in the South and the millions of emigrants for whom it will always be home. Between 1910 and 1970\, more than 6 million African Americans left the Jim Crow South\, but they never forgot the culture\, the land\, and the family they left behind. In the decades since\, it has become a summer ritual for many Black families to reverse the journey and return South for a visit to their homeplaces. Introduction by the Miami Mom Collective.
