Kick off February with these new releases! 📚 Happy publication day to EATING TO EXTINCTION by Dan Saladino, DILLA TIME by Dan Charnas, THEN THE WAR by Carl Phillips, and STRING FOLLOW by Simon Jacobs! 🍲 Dan Saladino's EATING TO EXTINCTION is the prominent broadcaster’s pathbreaking tour of the world’s vanishing foods and his argument for why they matter now more than ever. From an Indigenous American chef refining precolonial recipes to farmers tending Geechee red peas on the Sea Islands of Georgia, the individuals profiled in this book are essential guides to treasured foods and provide a roadmap to a food system that is healthier, more robust, and, above all, richer in flavor and meaning. 🎶 Equal parts biography, musicology, and cultural history, DILLA TIME chronicles the life and legacy of J Dilla, a musical genius who transformed the sound of popular music for the twenty-first century. From MCD x FSG this is the story of the man and his machines, his family, friends, partners, and celebrity collaborators. 📖 THEN THE WAR is a new collection of poems from one of America’s most essential, celebrated, and enduring poets, Carl Phillips. This collection is luminous testimony to the power of self-reckoning and to Phillips as an ever-changing, necessary voice in contemporary poetry. 🧵 And from FSG Originals, STRING FOLLOW is a darkly comic suburban Gothic about a malevolent force that targets a group of Ohio misfits, harnessing their angst for its sinister designs. Simon Jacobs blends the startlingly original and the uncannily familiar, revealing the dark chaos that lurks beneath the surface of Midwestern suburbia.

At a Dinner Party for White (Wo)men
[T]he other plates are creatively imagined vaginas…The Sojourner Truth plate is the only one in the collection that shows—instead of a vagina—a face.
Alice Walker, in response to Judy Chicago’s 1970 exhibit The Dinner Party
____________
Everyone else is invited to meet their vaginas—
different denominations and colors—
except me, the magical negress. My box
always absent because desire is not a privilege
for disenfranchised women
descendent from slaves—
we, still, their dark continent.
They cannot imagine my yawning l***a
because I do not pink at their touch,
cannot imagine me wet when I want to be,
decidedly igniting follicles on my body.
At best, undressed, I am invisible, neutered, neutral—
a breast-faced mammy assuaging centuries of shame
with archetypical depictions of tears and rage—
a place at the table they refuse to learn to set.
