The poetry and fiction of Lee (also written in English as Yi) Sang premieres in this first English collection translated by Myong-Hee Kim with original artwork by Janice Olson. Revered in current day Korea, Lee Sang (1910-1937) outraged Korean society during his brief life with experimental and iconoclastic poetry. His subject matter, which includes references to Al Capone and Jesus Christ, reaches across international boundaries and speaks to readers in America.

Crow's Eye View: The Infamy of Lee Sang, Korean Poet

Olson, Janice

Kim, Myong-Hee

Childhood bullies who bedevil the vulnerable-- including Fatslug, Moore's poster boy for the low self-esteem-- sometimes grow up to be dictators. An unflinching look at the ways humans can turn themselves inhuman, and what it does to the rest of us. Poetry that sings with our tears and our laughter and knits up the breaks in our bones.

Poetry. Published in the Hilary Tham Capital Collection, Browning explores the meaning of political activism and personal responsiblity in a time of war, while mapping the capital city—its changes, its history, its beautiful variety. Martín Espada said: "This poet has the courage to say what needs to be said, from the personal to the political (and often the two are intertwined). Sarah Browning takes on the hard questions—war, race, urban poverty—and never loses her cool. Her voice is tough and funny and smart."

Whiskey in the Garden of Eden

Browning, Sarah

Poetry. The story of a drug dealer looking for his grandson, the poems in ACE follow four family members--Ace, Carol, Miss Princess, and Little Ace--through estrangement and tragedy. In each of the book's four sections, one family member tells his or her version of the story, starting with Ace's quest and concluding with the extraordinary journey of Little Ace. Denise Duhamel writes: "ACE is a gorgeously sad novel-in-verse. The poet carefully rescues and polishes discarded lives, gives voice and dignity to the disastrously troubled. ACE is emotionally complex, honest, and deftly crafted."

Carr, Richard
