In 1876 Ellen Harding Baker began stitching an extraordinary quilt, one that accurately depicted our solar system. Ellen, a Iowa storekeeper's wife and a mother, had a curiosity that reached far beyond the stratosphere. Today the quilt hangs in the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History. This lyrical story imagines the creation of the quilt from the perspective of Ellen's daughters, who, like their mother, lived in a time when girls and women were expected to limit their pursuit of knowledge, and who may have been inspired to dream bigger and look farther.

Red Flags and Commitments is a chapbook divided into two sections dedicated to those who had their own experiences with red flags presenting themselves in relationships, followed up by commitments curated for the reader as an act of self-care and self-love. From the poetic storytelling of how people can ignore red flags to stepping into the light of self-reflection, the collection of daily commitments to self establishes a road to creating and accepting healthy relationships while romanticizing life. When awareness sinks in, turn to self. Romanticize your life, make that commitment to yourself and keep it.

This edited collection brings together keynote articles from the journal Disability & Society to provide a comprehensive and though-provoking exploration of the place of technology in disabled people’s lives, documenting and analysing the growing impact of technology on disability and society over recent decades. The authors explore theoretical, empirical and moral dilemmas that arise with the changing relationship between technological change and the lives, aspirations and possibilities of disabled people. The volume is organised into three parts which consider early foundational work connecting disability and technology; key empirical studies related to the optimum use of technologies for independence and inclusion; and new moral and social dynamics thrown up by technological developments for disabled people’s lives.

The JackLeg Press Poetry SeriesJennifer Harris' This is How I Dream It is a poem of longing so innocent it walks into the heart before you have a chance to batten down, preserve old separations, and protect yourself from what the poet elicits best: humanness. These are lyric offerings that verge on the ecstatic, love poems set in a multidimensional universe where all things are creatable even while gravity holds us here. I'm reminded of Pablo Neruda's Book of Questions and Kimiko Hahn's zuihitsus for their raw power, simplicity, and breadth. There is an almost disturbing dearth of cynicism, an unyielding belief in the unmanifested, and the open spaces of silence that surround the songs. Read this book for quiet, for light, and for its lovely and dangerous potential to enter the heart. -- Maureen Seaton
