Fiction. MY NAME IS LEGION is a caring novel about the relationship between two women; one a rape counselor, and the other a victim. It is a good and essentially accurate, easily readable portrayal of a Multiple Personality Disorder and can help normalize the bizarre and sensational beliefs about this all too real and painful disorder -- Bennett G. Braun, M.D. Ms. Berry has done it again. She has combined a terrific story with great characters for a fabulous read -- Joe Trento.

Fiction.Latino/a Studies. American archeologist Maria Elena Vazquez is excavating inside a Mayan pyramid when an earthquake strikes. She is rescued days later, physically unhurt, but unable to speak any language save an unknown ancient dialect. As time passes, she retreats into a world of dreams seemingly dominated by the spirit of Martin Cortes, bastard son of the conqueror of Mexico, Hernan Cortes, who has returned to wreak vengance on his torturers. Slowly, Maria Elena's dreams take shape in reality, uncovering an ancient Mayan legend and a wrenching Vazquez family secret. At once a ghost story, a romance, and a mystery, CHRONICLES OF AIR AND DREAMS is unique in its depiction of a modern Mexican-American family.

Chronicles of Air and Dreams

Villarreal, Rosa Martha

This extraordinary collection of verse by Michael Bugeja seems to have come along at exactly the right time: at the conclusion of one century and the beginning of another. The verses are powerful and poignant, offering truths about ourselves, our attitudes and our times that we might not find quite comfortable. It is, at once, a look back at how far we have come as a society, and a fair warning as to how far we have yet to travel. His poems rise off the page and linger in memory. He is one of the best poets writing today.

Poetry. African American Studies. David Sutherland has received a Rhysling Award, a Small Press Writer's Award, and was a recent nominated for a Pushcart Prize in Poetry. In his introduction to this volume, Paul Kloppenborg calls STEEL UMBRELLAS a brilliant collectoin of striking poems written with language at full stretch... redefining language within its emotional and conceptual brackets and breaking out beyond the plain inferences of words into broader perceptions symbolic of human feeling. Clearly, Sutherland means to take on and redefine the tradition. In one poem, he encants Ezra Pound: Ezra I ring no glow, cast no light off your high cantos,/ Neither take stock of your fundamental passions with impetus....// Venus abides beneath burnt dock lights,/ Li Po hides in the heat of gridlock and jealous gods of you/ Act ply the timber of your craft -- as all too soon/ The wood is carved (from Pound). David Sutherland's verse comes at you like a twelve foot tidal wave. His words engulf you, plunge you into a deep state of hal

Poetry. With elegiac elan, Saul Bennett grapples with the death of a child. Through a deft use of repetition and a lilt in the language that offsets these often somber meditations, he avoids sentimentality and creates powerfully wrought poems. "Bennett creates a unique idiom...with relentless phrases which pull you through the poems, which refuse to let you go. A Bennett poem is uniquely his. And yet it also shows the fingerprints of a tradition -- the work of e.e. cummings, Gerard Manley Hopkins, William Carlos Williams, even John Donne. Like all great poetry, they connect with something larger" - The Christian Century. The author of NEW FIELDS AND OTHER STONES/ON A CHILD'S DEATH (also available from SPD), Bennett continues his search for redemption in this new volume, ending with a benediction.

Sarah Gonstead disappeared in the early morning of March 15, 1994 in Madison, Wisconsin, after she and Penny Brummer had been out drinking. She was later found dead. Six months later, with no physical evidence, no witnesses to the crime and no murder weapon, a jury convicted Penny Brummer of first-degree murder. But did Brummer do it? Or was Brummer herself a victim of over-zealous prosecutors, tunnel-vision investigators, un-reviewed forensic scientists, and a politician-judge?
