Join Milkweed for an author and artist talk with Sangamithra Iyer, author of GOVERNING BODIES, joined by local writers Nigar Alam & Sruthi Narayanan.

A CLMP Firecracker Award Winner, Iyer is a civil engineer, animal rights activist, and the child of immigrants from India. GOVERNING BODIES is a beautifully rendered debut memoir of family, legacy, conservation, the natural world—and those who inhabit it.

Read a conversation between bookseller Kamra Heldman and Julie Schumacher, author of PATIENT, FEMALE on our website. Here is a short snippet!

Milkweed Staff: While writing PATIENT, FEMALE, were you influenced or inspired by the works of other writers? In what way?

Julie Schumacher: I feel that my personality and my mood—as well as my writing—are deeply influenced by what I read. And because the stories in Patient, Female were written over a period of many years, they reflect my thoughts and experiences, as well as the many books that I read during that time. To me, reading is like food for my fiction; I wouldn’t be able to write without it. I dog-ear and underline mercilessly, scrawling notes in the margins of books, always on the hunt for inspiration, and I have found that inspiration even in fiction that is radically different from mine.

Named one of the most anticipated books of the year by LITERARY HUB, PATIENT, FEMALE is a darkly funny and compassionate portrayal of women from girlhood to senescence. Schumacher plays with form in this collection, as we experience story not only as narrative, but as syllabus and as board game.

Each protagonist receives her own indelible voice as she navigates social blunders, generational misunderstandings, and the absurdity of the human experience. Rendering the foibles of human behavior and our endearing imperfections, PATIENT, FEMALE is waiting for your next summer read.

Happy publication day to AMPERSAND ORGAN!

In this “more-than-human lyric,” heidi andrea restrepo rhodes offers the ampersand, a mode of encounter that unfixes the reader. Part of the Multiverse Series, AMPERSAND ORGAN neuroqueers poetics, with writing that moves toward deft and loving excess. PEOPLE writes,“Epic, kaleidoscopic and unapologetically crisp: this is a book that sings the multitude in revolutionary new ways.”
