Bringing together over five decades of written material "Poetry For People: Fifty Years of Writing" is the first collection from Kansas poet Dixie Lubin. From the tumult of her Southern Baptist childhood, to a free-love 1960s young adulthood, through fifty years of marriage and raising three daughters in poverty, while touching countless lives as a teacher and artist, Dixie has engaged with it all through her unique artistic lens.\nHer voice encompasses the scope of the human condition, invoking earthly lust, mystic meditation, bawdy humor and vivid grief, connecting deeply with everyone fortunate enough to encounter her words. Out of a life shaped by love, loss, and a devotion to humanity and the planet itself, this volume is the indelible result of the inimitable Dixie.

When 15-year-old Elly Fox figures out his mom is losing her memory, everything in his life changes. Failing to snap her out of denial, he goes on a quest, hoping to find the cause of her memory loss before it's too late. Along the way he falls under the influence of a charismatic memory guru and risks losing his best friend, all while navigating his gender identity, his suddenly shifting moral compass, and his sophomore year of high school. Set in Portland, Oregon during the late-2000s financial crisis, How to Forget Almost Everything is an introspective coming-of-age story and an off-kilter adventure populated by bus transfer slips, small-town diners, a secret concrete block, and a former child chess prodigy.

If you could choose between being Black and being white, what would you do? As a child, Brianna Wheeler, the mixed-race descendent of Dangerfield Newby-the first of John Brown's raiders to die at Harpers Ferry in their bid to end slavery- unconsciously chose whiteness, unaware that she had the choice at all. As an adult, following the deaths of her mother and grandmother, Brianna struggled with her own identity, convinced that her lasting legacy would be the rejection of her own Blackness. Then, in 2020, a racial reckoning rekindled her connection to both her heritage and her grandmother's lifelong work of preserving the stories of Dangerfield and the rest of her ancestors, leading Brianna to confront both long-held family dynamics and her own place in history-from a new perspective. A unique blend of memoir, creative nonfiction and illustration, "Altogether Different" untangles the complex connections between the stories we tell ourselves and the histories preserved for us.

American tour guide Joe Newhouse wants nothing more than to reach Venice. Since moving to Munich after the fall of the Berlin Wall, he's watched his business fail, his wife leave him, and his love for Europe diminish. Now he faces one last ten-day tour with a surly group that doesn't want to be there. As he leads them through the mythic lands of Europe's Romantic past, he grows increasingly disturbed by their stories of earlier lives, puzzled by their desire to be with a man who doesn't arrive, and entangled in an illicit affair that promises to either save him or plunge his tour-and his life-into madness.Soaked in the Romantic atmosphere and dark deeds of old Europe-as well as the freedoms and hopes of a new era-The Last Grand Tour takes us on a perilous journey through Hitler's Berchtesgaden, Mozart's Salzburg, and Mad King Ludwig's Bavarian fantasyland before reaching its stunning climax in the murky waters of Venice. Along the way, it explores the often-shifting lines between fidelity and freedom, illusion and reality, regret and desire.
