In 2017, sociologist Ranita Ray stepped inside a fourth-grade classroom to research the lack of resources and budget cuts that face public schools. A few months into her immersion, Ray recognized that the greatest impediment to students was the “slow violence” they faced from teachers and administrators.

SLOW VIOLENCE goes beyond timeworn discussions about the school-to-prison pipeline, funding, and achievement gaps to directly address what happens behind the closed doors of classrooms, introducing a compelling new perspective into our education system. Unflinchingly, SLOW VIOLENCE shows us where to begin.

Nathan Kernan’s A DAY LIKE ANY OTHER: THE LIFE OF JAMES SCHUYLER is the definitive biography of the great American poet who, along with Frank O’Hara, Barbara Guest, John Ashbery, and Kenneth Koch, was an original member of the so called New York School of poetry. Opening with Schuyler’s legendary first public reading in 1988, Kernan goes back to trace the tumultuous arc of the poet’s life and work.

THE LIGHTHOUSE AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD is out now!

A powerful and poignant contemporary Q***r fantasy, THE LIGHTHOUSE AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD follows a waystation for the dead at the edge of Chicago, nestled on the shores of Lake Michigan. Every night, the newly-departed travel through the city to the Station, guided by its lighthouse. There, they reckon with their lives, before stepping aboard a boat to go beyond.

Combining myth and tradition, THE LIGHTHOUSE AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD of the world is perfect for fans of Hadestown and Under the Whispering Door.

Steeped in the subtleties and strangeness of contemporary life, IF YOU LOVE IT, LET IT KILL YOU is a deeply nuanced and disturbingly funny examination of memory, ownership, and artistic expression.

When Hana learns that an unflattering version of herself will appear prominently—and soon—in her ex-husband’s debut novel, her life continues largely unaffected by the news—she cooks, runs, teaches, entertains—but the morning after baking mac ’n’ cheese from scratch for her nephew’s sixth birthday, she wakes up changed. The contentment she’s long enjoyed is gone. In its place: nothing. A remarkably ridiculous midlife crisis ensues, featuring a talking cat, a visit to the dean’s office, a shadowy figure from the past, a Greek chorus of indignant students whose primary complaints concern Hana’s autofictional narrative, and a game called Dead Body.

From the New York Times bestselling Kennedy historian and author of JACKIE: PUBLIC, PRIVATE, SECRET comes the other side of the story—her husband’s: JFK: PUBLIC, PRIVATE, SECRET. The JFK presented in Taraborrelli’s definitive biography is a complex and endlessly fascinating historical figure, despite—and maybe even because of—his many flaws.
