Domestica, winner of the 2026 Miller Williams Poetry Prize, is now available for pre-order.

“Samuel Piccone’s debut collection, Domestica,” writes poet Leila Chatti, “is a field study of the quiet, (extra)ordinary labors that hold a family together. With a voice at once tender and devastatingly funny, Domestica lays bare the grit that is commitment beyond the dress and party: the urgent loneliness of marriage, the metamorphic bewilderment of fatherhood, the ferocious mundanity of love, love that exhausts and endures, love that is all. These poems illuminate the private realm as it is, as it really is, with radiant honesty—to read them is like looking into a house at night with its windows lit up.”

“Through 13 essays organised in four sections, this book explores pivotal moments in Latin American history in which foodways played a key role in forging the continent’s identity politics. … This book is fascinating to read. Given the limited scholarship connecting food and literature in the region, it is an excellent contribution to the field and the first to provide, in English, an overview of Latin American literary food studies.”
—Andrea Cadelo, Bulletin of Latin American Research, September 2025

In the Shade of the Pine: Artists, Writers, and Trees in America, 1825-1876 by Christiana Payne.

In the Shade of the Pine: Artists, Writers, and Trees in America, 1825–1876 explores the significance of trees in the visual and literary imagination of mid-nineteenth-century America through the work of seven artists and writers: Thomas Cole’s explorations of the Catskills; Albert Bierstadt’s portrayal of the splendid trees of California, including the ancient giant sequoias; the paintings and drawings of Asher Brown Durand and Frederic Edwin Church; the photographs of William James Stillman; and the environmental writings of Susan Fenimore Cooper and Henry David Thoreau.
