🏗️Out now: CITY OF CLANS by Geoff Peck 🏭

As the son of a professional baseball player, Jeremy grew up playing sports and molding himself into a certain type of guy—a type embodied in Jeremy’s best friend and roommate, the hypermasculine Scott Melloy. But when Scott commits an unthinkable act, Jeremy is forced to acknowledge that the friend he idolized is a predator, and his carefully constructed sense of self crumbles.

A story of redemption, CITY OF CLANS captures the resiliency of the human spirit and explores hidden truths of masculinity, sexuality, and self.

Goodreads, NetGalley, Edelweiss, and all the online retailers have spoken!

Here are a few snippets of what readers have been saying about LAST DAY OF MY FACE by James Shea. Thank you to every one of them for their kind words.

The shadow of mothering has never been given a richer, fuller, more debased vision.

“Ouroboros mother trains me to seek constant approval so I constantly / disapprove of mother and she constantly / disapproves of me so that our mutual / disapproval defangs the specter of disapproval.”

Happy pub day to Youna Kwak’s searing poetry collection FOR THIS AND OTHER CRUELTIES.

Spread the word! and are celebrating the publication of Pat Lipsky’s BRIGHTENING GLANCE with a giveaway.

We’re giving two (2) winners a finished copy of the book and a $250 gift card from the Art Students League to be put toward a class or workshop (in-person or virtual).

In turns sharp and salacious, Lipsky recounts her life in art, from late-night, smoke-filled loft parties in 1970s SoHo to evenings at Max’s Kansas City where Lou Reed and Nico sang as visual artists verged on fisticuffs over their place in the culture.

➡️ To enter, comment your favorite painting below. (Bonus points if there’s a fun story behind it!)

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. Giveaway begins 9/15/25 and ends at 11:59 AM ET on 9/20/25. Open to U.S. residents, 18 and older.

More of UIowa Press over the years 📸

We’ve been trying to date these pics, so if you know (or have a good guess), please let us know!

So far, the best timestamp we have is a quickly scrawled “Holly’s Coronation ‘99” on the back of the top pic on the second slide 😂
