POETRY
Feed
a poem by TOMMY PICO
“[Feed] is endlessly inventive and stays
fun while bringing the heat and weight of
a world we’re all helplessly watching burn
down. As his character/AKA Teebs says
of Oakland rapper Two $hort, the same
is true of Tommy Pico in this book and in
general: Vigor is the art he argues for.”
—TOMMY ORANGE,
author of There There
Feed is the fourth book in the Teebs tetralogy. It’s an
epistolary recipe for the main character, a poem
of nourishment, and a jaunty walk through New York’s
High Line park, with the lines, stanzas, paragraphs,
dialogue, and registers approximating the park’s
cultivated gardens of wildness. Among its questions,
Feed asks what’s the difference between being alone
and being lonely? Can you ever really be friends with
an ex? How do you make perfect mac & cheese? Feed is
an ode of reconciliation to the wild inconsistencies of
a northeast spring, a frustrating season of back-and-
forth, of thaw and blizzard, but with a faith that even
amidst the mess, it knows where it’s going.
TOMMY “TEEBS” PICO is
the author of the books IRL,
Nature Poem, and Junk. He’s
been the recipient of awards
and fellowships from the
Whiting Foundation, the
Lambda Literary Foundation,
the Poetry Foundation, the
New York Foundation for the Arts, and the Brooklyn
Public Library. He co-curates the reading series Poets
with Attitude, co-hosts the podcast Food 4 Thot, and is
a contributing editor at Literary Hub. Originally from the
Viejas Indian reservation of the Kumeyaay nation, he
now lives in Los Angeles, CA.
“Tommy Pico’s Feed is the poet’s most
ambitious work yet. Part tour diary, part
tracklist, part play, part by part Pico tops
his epic run of books off with this gut-
wrenching, gut-busting, gutter mouth
offering of a body in lust, in isolation, in
danger, in memory, in future and all the
transits between. Feed is a feast of Pico’s
signature intellect, humor, and linguistic
demolition—all sharper than ever. No
one corrals our day’s chaos like Pico, who
serves it up to us as some of the wildest
verse the world has ever seen.
Bon appétit, bitches.”

MEMOIR
Things We Didn’t
Talk About When I
Was a Girl
JEANNIE VANASCO Jeannie Vanasco has had the same nightmare
since she was a teenager. She startles awake,
saying his name. It is always about him: one of her
closest high school friends, a boy named Mark. A
boy who raped her.
When her nightmares worsen, Jeannie decides—
after fourteen years of silence—to reach out to Mark.
He agrees to talk on the record and meet in person.
“It’s the least I can do,” he says.
Jeannie details her friendship with Mark before
and after the assault, asking the brave and urgent
question: Is it possible for a good person to commit
a terrible act? Jeannie interviews Mark, exploring
how rape has impacted his life as well as her own.
She examines the language surrounding sexual
assault and pushes against its confines, contributing
to and deepening the #MeToo discussion.
Exacting and courageous, Things We Didn’t Talk
About When I Was a Girl is part memoir, part true
crime record, and part testament to the strength
of female friendships—a recounting and reckoning
that will inspire us to ask harder questions and
interrogate our biases. Jeannie Vanasco examines
and dismantles long-held myths of victimhood,
discovering grace and power in this genre-bending
investigation into the trauma of sexual violence.
“Jeannie Vanasco has done something
extraordinary. She explodes rape culture
at the level of language, shows us how
we are trapped and how we might make
ourselves free. This is a brilliant book, an
astonishingly fierce inquiry into the
places language won’t go.”
—EMILY GEMINDER, author of Dead Girls
JEANNIE VANASCO is the au-
thor of the memoir The Glass
Eye (Tin House Books, 2017).
Her work has appeared in
The Believer, the New York
Times Modern Love, Tin
House, and elsewhere. She
lives in Baltimore and is an
assistant professor at Towson University. Things We
Didn’t Talk About When I Was a Girl is her second book.
“Jeannie Vanasco has written exactly the
book we need right now. I wish everyone
in this country would read it.”

A Fortune for
Your Disaster
poems by HANIF ABDURRAQIB
HANIF ABDURRAQIB is a
poet, essayist, and cultural
critic from Columbus, Ohio.
His first poetry collection, The
Crown Ain’t Worth Much, was
named a finalist for the Eric
Hoffer Book Award and was
nominated for a Hurston/
Wright Legacy Award. His collection of essays, They
Can’t Kill Us Until They Kill Us, was named a best book
of 2017 by Buzzfeed, Esquire, NPR, Oprah Magazine,
and Pitchfork, among others. His most recent book is Go
Ahead in the Rain: Notes to A Tribe Called Quest.
In his much-anticipated follow-up to The Crown
Ain’t Worth Much, poet, essayist, music critic, and
New York Times bestselling author Hanif Abdurraqib
has written a book of poems about how one rebuilds
oneself after a heartbreak, the kind that renders
them a different version of themselves than the
one they knew. It’s a book about a mother’s death,
and finally admitting that Michael Jordan pushed
off in the ’98 finals. It’s about forgiveness, and
how none of the author’s black friends wanted
to listen to “Don’t Stop Believin’.” It’s about
wrestling with histories, personal and shared, and
how black people can write about flowers at a time
like this. Abdurraqib writes across different tones
and registers, with humor and sadness, and uses
touchstones from the world outside—from Marvin
Gaye to Nikola Tesla to his neighbor’s dogs—to
create a mirror, inside of which every angle presents
a new possibility.
From the New York Times bestselling
author of Go Ahead in the Rain, They
Can’t Kill Us Until They Kill Us, and The
Crown Ain’t Worth Much, A Fortune for
Your Disaster breaks and rebuilds,
dazzles as it cries out.
“Riveting and poetic . . . Abdurraqib’s gift
is his ability to flip from a wide angle to a
zoom with ease. He is a five-tool writer.”
—The Washington Post
“Funny, painful, precise, desperate, and
loving . . . Not a day has sounded
the same since I read him.”

The Hotel Neversink
a novel by ADAM O’FALLON PRICE
ADAM O’FALLON PRICE is
a writing teacher and staff
writer for the Millions. His
work has been published in
the Paris Review, VICE, the
Iowa Review, Glimmer Train,
EPOCH, the Kenyon Review
Online, and many other
places. His first novel, The Grand Tour, was published in
2016. He lives in Carrboro, North Carolina.
The magnificent Hotel Neversink is the crown
jewel of the Catskills, a sprawling resort
of unparalleled luxury that hosts athletes, actors,
and even presidents. Owned and operated by the
immigrant Sikorsky family, the hotel is a realization
of their wildest American dream. But then a young
boy disappears.
This mysterious vanishing—and the ones that
follow—will brand the lives of three generations.
At the root of it all is Asher Sikorky, the ambitious
and ruthless patriarch whose founding of the hotel
in 1931 sets a dark legacy in motion. His daughter,
Jeanie Sikorsky, sees the Hotel Neversink into its
most lucrative era, but also its darkest. Decades later,
Asher’s descendants grapple with the family’s heritage
in their own ways: grandson Len fights to keep the
failing hotel alive, and great-granddaughter Alice sets
out to finally uncover the identity of a killer who has
haunted the hotel and family for decades.
Told by an unforgettable chorus of Sikorsky
family members—a matriarch, a hotel maid, a
traveling comedian, the hotel detective, and many
others—The Hotel Neversink is the gripping portrait of
a Jewish family in the Catskills over the course of a
century. With an unerring eye and prose both comic
and tragic, Adam O’Fallon Price details one man’s
struggle for greatness no matter the cost, and a long-
held family secret that threatens to undo it all.
When a rash of murders threatens the
legacy of the Sikorsky’s resort hotel in
the Catskills, the family discovers that
the darkest secrets reside close to home.
“Thoroughly absorbing . . . Spanning
almost a century, The Hotel Neversink
is a multi-layered tale of family, fortune,
and fate that grows eerily compelling
with every passing page.”
—LING MA,
author of Severance

Possum Living
New & Updated Edition
BY DOLLY FREED
INTRODUCTION BY NOVELLA CARPENTER
“Dolly Freed is my hero. . . . [If] this
smart, engaging, funny, and frank
manifesto . . . doesn’t make you want to
quit the rat race at least a little bit, then
you must be one big, fat rat.”
—Vice
“A paean to self-sufficiency.”
—Columbia Journalism Review
In the late seventies, at the age of eighteen and with a
seventh-grade education, Dolly Freed wrote Possum
Living about the five years she and her father lived off
the land on a half-acre lot outside of Philadelphia. At
the time of its publication in 1978, Possum Living became
an instant classic, known for its plucky narration and
no-nonsense practical advice on how to quit the rat
race and live frugally. In her delightful, straightforward,
and irreverent style, Freed guides readers on how to
buy and maintain a home, dress well, cope with the law,
stay healthy, save money, and be lazy, proud, miserly,
and honest, all while enjoying leisure and keeping up a
middle-class façade. Forty years later, Freed’s philoso-
phy is world-renowned and Possum Living remains as
fascinating, inspirational, and pertinent as it was upon
its original publication. This updated edition includes
new reflections, insights, and life lessons from an older
and wiser Dolly Freed, whose knowledge of how to
live like a possum has given her financial security and
the confidence to try new ventures.
“Compulsively readable . . . One message
comes out loud and clear. As the 18-year-
old sage Dolly Freed wrote: ‘I refuse
to spend the first 60 years of my life
worrying about the last 20.’”
—New York Times Arts Beat
“This book will not only make you
laugh but might actually inspire you to
embrace a simpler life.”
—O, The Oprah Magazine
“An elegant memoir.”
—Philadelphia City Paper
Following her success as an author, DOLLY FREED grew
up to be a NASA aerospace engineer. She put herself
through college after she aced the SATs with an educa-
tion she received from the public library. She has also
been an environmental educator, business owner, and
college professor. She lives in Texas with her husband
and two children.

years. With astonishing urgency and candor, these
memoirs tackle issues of race, gender, poverty, sex,

Gay, Francine Prose, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie,
Zadie Smith, Mia Alvar, Janet Mock, Lena Dunham,
Gloria Steinem, Quiara AlegrĂ­a Hudes, and Alice
Walker—offering guidance to a reader about where
she’s been and where she might go.

ganization for girls, and one of the nation’s top after-
school programs. The writers—93% high-need and

women take on the world through words
gives me so much hope for the future,
both of television and the world.”

When Rap Spoke
Straight to God
a poem by ERICA DAWSON
POETRY
SEPTEMBER 2018
Rights: World • Materials: Finished Book • 64 pages
“Again, Erica Dawson has expanded the
possibilities of what we think poetry can
do. The lusciously long poems in When
Rap Spoke Straight to God are sensual
and openly political and so well-crafted in
epic blank verse that we begin to see how
the contemporary moment has yet to fully
correct far too many historical moments.”
—JERICHO BROWN,
author of The New Testament
ERICA DAWSON is the author
of two collections of poetry:
The Small Blades Hurt (Mea-
sure Press, 2014), winner of
the 2016 Poets’ Prize, and Big-
Eyed Afraid (Waywiser Press,
2007), winner of the 2006
Anthony Hecht Poetry Prize.
Her work has appeared in three editions of Best American
Poetry, the Pushcart Prize XLI: Best of the Small Presses,
Resistance, Rebellion, Life: 50 Poems Now, Barrow Street,
Bennington Review, Crazyhorse, Harvard Review, Virginia
Quarterly Review, and numerous other journals and an-
thologies. She lives in Tampa, Florida and is an Associate
Professor at University of Tampa, where she also directs
the low-residency MFA program.
When Rap Spoke Straight to God isn’t sacred or
profane, but a chorus joined in a single
soliloquy, demanding to be heard. There’s Wu-Tang
and Mary Magdalene with a foot fetish, Lil’ Kim and
a self-loving Lilith. Slurs, catcalls, verses, erasures—
Dawson asks readers, “Just how far is it to nigger?”
Both grounded and transcendent, the book is reality
and possibility. Dawson’s work has always been raw,
but When Rap Spoke Straight to God is as blunt as the
answer to that earlier question: “Here.” Sometimes
abrasive and often abraded, Dawson doesn’t flinch.
A mix of traditional forms where sonnets mash
up with sestinas morphing to heroic couplets, When
Rap Spoke Straight to God insists that while you may
recognize parts of the poem’s world, you can’t
anticipate how it will evolve.
With a literal exodus of light in the book’s
final moments, When Rap Spoke Straight to God is a
lament for and a celebration of blackness. It’s never
depression; it’s defiance—a persistent resistance. In
this book, like Wu-Tang says, the marginalized “ain’t
nothing to fuck with.”
A book-length poem navigating belief,
black lives, the tragedies of Trump, and
the boundaries of being a woman.

@heyteebs
The third book in Tommy Pico’s Teebs tetralogy,
Junk is a breakup poem in couplets: ice floe and hot
lava, a tribute to Janet Jackson and nacho cheese. In
the static that follows the loss of a job or an apartment
or a boyfriend, what can you grab onto for orienta-
tion? The narrator wonders what happens to the sense
of self when the illusion of security has been stripped
away. And for an indigenous person, how do these
lost markers of identity echo larger cultural losses and
erasures in a changing political landscape? In part tak-
ing its cue from A. R. Ammons’s Garbage, Teebs names
this liminal space “Junk,” in the sense that a junk shop
is full of old things waiting for their next use; differ-
ent items that collectively become indistinct. But can
there be a comfort outside the anxiety of utility? An
appreciation of “being” for the sake of being? And will
there be Chili Cheese Fritos?
“As ever, Pico is a master of inclusion, of
elevating the mundane to the sublime,
of examining absurdity and grave
seriousness with equal measure. This
is an ambitious long poem, and Pico
is uniquely qualified to both drag and
celebrate modern day consumption and
indulgence with graceful humor and grit.”

Junk
a poem by TOMMY PICO
POETRY
“Reading Tommy Pico’s Junk I kept thinking
of Heather McHugh’s pronouncement that
the main discipline of poetry is ‘to keep
finding life strange.’ Pico is the master of
making the stone stony, of returning the
sheer absurdity of being to everything,
from grief to intimacy to dating apps to
donuts. Junk insists on the urgency of the
quotidian, of, to borrow a phrase from Pico,
‘vibrant inconsequence.’ It’s rare to read a
book that makes living feel so alive.”

author of Calling a Wolf a Wolf

“Brilliant . . . Reminiscent of Maggie
Nelson’s The Argonauts . . . As the pages
fly by, we’re right by Vanasco, breathlessly
experiencing her grief, mania, revelations,
and—ultimately—her relief.”
—Entertainment Weekly
MEMOIR
The Glass Eye is Jeannie’s struggle to honor her fa-
ther, her larger-than-life hero but also the man
who named her after his daughter from a previous
marriage, a daughter who died.
After his funeral, Jeannie spends the next decade
in escalating mania, in and out of hospitals—increas-
ingly obsessed with the other Jeanne. Obsession turns
to investigation as Jeannie plumbs her childhood
awareness of her dead half sibling and hunts for clues
into the mysterious circumstances of her death. It
becomes a puzzle Jeannie feels she must solve to bet-
ter understand herself and her father.
Jeannie Vanasco pulls us into her unraveling
with such intimacy that her insanity becomes
palpable, even logical. A brilliant exploration of the
human psyche, The Glass Eye deepens our definitions
of love, sanity, grief, and recovery.
“Wildly innovative.”
—New York Magazine
“Vanasco’s candor, curiosity, and
commitment to human understanding
are not to be missed.”

  • 3. 2 NOVEMBER 2019 Rights: World • Materials: Galley • 88 pages POETRY Feed a poem by TOMMY PICO “[Feed] is endlessly inventive and stays fun while bringing the heat and weight of a world we’re all helplessly watching burn down. As his character/AKA Teebs says of Oakland rapper Two $hort, the same is true of Tommy Pico in this book and in general: Vigor is the art he argues for.” —TOMMY ORANGE, author of There There Feed is the fourth book in the Teebs tetralogy. It’s an epistolary recipe for the main character, a poem of nourishment, and a jaunty walk through New York’s High Line park, with the lines, stanzas, paragraphs, dialogue, and registers approximating the park’s cultivated gardens of wildness. Among its questions, Feed asks what’s the difference between being alone and being lonely? Can you ever really be friends with an ex? How do you make perfect mac & cheese? Feed is an ode of reconciliation to the wild inconsistencies of a northeast spring, a frustrating season of back-and- forth, of thaw and blizzard, but with a faith that even amidst the mess, it knows where it’s going. TOMMY “TEEBS” PICO is the author of the books IRL, Nature Poem, and Junk. He’s been the recipient of awards and fellowships from the Whiting Foundation, the Lambda Literary Foundation, the Poetry Foundation, the New York Foundation for the Arts, and the Brooklyn Public Library. He co-curates the reading series Poets with Attitude, co-hosts the podcast Food 4 Thot, and is a contributing editor at Literary Hub. Originally from the Viejas Indian reservation of the Kumeyaay nation, he now lives in Los Angeles, CA. “Tommy Pico’s Feed is the poet’s most ambitious work yet. Part tour diary, part tracklist, part play, part by part Pico tops his epic run of books off with this gut- wrenching, gut-busting, gutter mouth offering of a body in lust, in isolation, in danger, in memory, in future and all the transits between. Feed is a feast of Pico’s signature intellect, humor, and linguistic demolition—all sharper than ever. No one corrals our day’s chaos like Pico, who serves it up to us as some of the wildest verse the world has ever seen. Bon appĂŠtit, bitches.” —DANEZ SMITH, Don’t Call Us Dead
  • 4. 3 OCTOBER 2019 Rights: World (UK Rights Sold) • Materials: Galley 360 pages MEMOIR Things We Didn’t Talk About When I Was a Girl JEANNIE VANASCO Jeannie Vanasco has had the same nightmare since she was a teenager. She startles awake, saying his name. It is always about him: one of her closest high school friends, a boy named Mark. A boy who raped her. When her nightmares worsen, Jeannie decides— after fourteen years of silence—to reach out to Mark. He agrees to talk on the record and meet in person. “It’s the least I can do,” he says. Jeannie details her friendship with Mark before and after the assault, asking the brave and urgent question: Is it possible for a good person to commit a terrible act? Jeannie interviews Mark, exploring how rape has impacted his life as well as her own. She examines the language surrounding sexual assault and pushes against its confines, contributing to and deepening the #MeToo discussion. Exacting and courageous, Things We Didn’t Talk About When I Was a Girl is part memoir, part true crime record, and part testament to the strength of female friendships—a recounting and reckoning that will inspire us to ask harder questions and interrogate our biases. Jeannie Vanasco examines and dismantles long-held myths of victimhood, discovering grace and power in this genre-bending investigation into the trauma of sexual violence. “Jeannie Vanasco has done something extraordinary. She explodes rape culture at the level of language, shows us how we are trapped and how we might make ourselves free. This is a brilliant book, an astonishingly fierce inquiry into the places language won’t go.” —EMILY GEMINDER, author of Dead Girls JEANNIE VANASCO is the au- thor of the memoir The Glass Eye (Tin House Books, 2017). Her work has appeared in The Believer, the New York Times Modern Love, Tin House, and elsewhere. She lives in Baltimore and is an assistant professor at Towson University. Things We Didn’t Talk About When I Was a Girl is her second book. “Jeannie Vanasco has written exactly the book we need right now. I wish everyone in this country would read it.” —MELISSA FEBOS, author of Whip Smart and Abandon Me
  • 5. 4 POETRY SEPTEMBER 2019 Rights: UK • Materials: Galley • 112 pages A Fortune for Your Disaster poems by HANIF ABDURRAQIB HANIF ABDURRAQIB is a poet, essayist, and cultural critic from Columbus, Ohio. His first poetry collection, The Crown Ain’t Worth Much, was named a finalist for the Eric Hoffer Book Award and was nominated for a Hurston/ Wright Legacy Award. His collection of essays, They Can’t Kill Us Until They Kill Us, was named a best book of 2017 by Buzzfeed, Esquire, NPR, Oprah Magazine, and Pitchfork, among others. His most recent book is Go Ahead in the Rain: Notes to A Tribe Called Quest. In his much-anticipated follow-up to The Crown Ain’t Worth Much, poet, essayist, music critic, and New York Times bestselling author Hanif Abdurraqib has written a book of poems about how one rebuilds oneself after a heartbreak, the kind that renders them a different version of themselves than the one they knew. It’s a book about a mother’s death, and finally admitting that Michael Jordan pushed off in the ’98 finals. It’s about forgiveness, and how none of the author’s black friends wanted to listen to “Don’t Stop Believin’.” It’s about wrestling with histories, personal and shared, and how black people can write about flowers at a time like this. Abdurraqib writes across different tones and registers, with humor and sadness, and uses touchstones from the world outside—from Marvin Gaye to Nikola Tesla to his neighbor’s dogs—to create a mirror, inside of which every angle presents a new possibility. From the New York Times bestselling author of Go Ahead in the Rain, They Can’t Kill Us Until They Kill Us, and The Crown Ain’t Worth Much, A Fortune for Your Disaster breaks and rebuilds, dazzles as it cries out. “Riveting and poetic . . . Abdurraqib’s gift is his ability to flip from a wide angle to a zoom with ease. He is a five-tool writer.” —The Washington Post “Funny, painful, precise, desperate, and loving . . . Not a day has sounded the same since I read him.” —GREIL MARCUS, Village Voice
  • 6. 5 FICTION AUGUST 2019 Rights: World English • Materials: Galley • 288 pages The Hotel Neversink a novel by ADAM O’FALLON PRICE ADAM O’FALLON PRICE is a writing teacher and staff writer for the Millions. His work has been published in the Paris Review, VICE, the Iowa Review, Glimmer Train, EPOCH, the Kenyon Review Online, and many other places. His first novel, The Grand Tour, was published in 2016. He lives in Carrboro, North Carolina. The magnificent Hotel Neversink is the crown jewel of the Catskills, a sprawling resort of unparalleled luxury that hosts athletes, actors, and even presidents. Owned and operated by the immigrant Sikorsky family, the hotel is a realization of their wildest American dream. But then a young boy disappears. This mysterious vanishing—and the ones that follow—will brand the lives of three generations. At the root of it all is Asher Sikorky, the ambitious and ruthless patriarch whose founding of the hotel in 1931 sets a dark legacy in motion. His daughter, Jeanie Sikorsky, sees the Hotel Neversink into its most lucrative era, but also its darkest. Decades later, Asher’s descendants grapple with the family’s heritage in their own ways: grandson Len fights to keep the failing hotel alive, and great-granddaughter Alice sets out to finally uncover the identity of a killer who has haunted the hotel and family for decades. Told by an unforgettable chorus of Sikorsky family members—a matriarch, a hotel maid, a traveling comedian, the hotel detective, and many others—The Hotel Neversink is the gripping portrait of a Jewish family in the Catskills over the course of a century. With an unerring eye and prose both comic and tragic, Adam O’Fallon Price details one man’s struggle for greatness no matter the cost, and a long- held family secret that threatens to undo it all. When a rash of murders threatens the legacy of the Sikorsky’s resort hotel in the Catskills, the family discovers that the darkest secrets reside close to home. “Thoroughly absorbing . . . Spanning almost a century, The Hotel Neversink is a multi-layered tale of family, fortune, and fate that grows eerily compelling with every passing page.” —LING MA, author of Severance
  • 7. 6 NONFICTION JANUARY 2019 Rights: Previous editions sold to Italy, Spain, and Germany • Materials: Finished Book • 224 pages Possum Living New & Updated Edition BY DOLLY FREED INTRODUCTION BY NOVELLA CARPENTER “Dolly Freed is my hero. . . . [If] this smart, engaging, funny, and frank manifesto . . . doesn’t make you want to quit the rat race at least a little bit, then you must be one big, fat rat.” —Vice “A paean to self-sufficiency.” —Columbia Journalism Review In the late seventies, at the age of eighteen and with a seventh-grade education, Dolly Freed wrote Possum Living about the five years she and her father lived off the land on a half-acre lot outside of Philadelphia. At the time of its publication in 1978, Possum Living became an instant classic, known for its plucky narration and no-nonsense practical advice on how to quit the rat race and live frugally. In her delightful, straightforward, and irreverent style, Freed guides readers on how to buy and maintain a home, dress well, cope with the law, stay healthy, save money, and be lazy, proud, miserly, and honest, all while enjoying leisure and keeping up a middle-class façade. Forty years later, Freed’s philoso- phy is world-renowned and Possum Living remains as fascinating, inspirational, and pertinent as it was upon its original publication. This updated edition includes new reflections, insights, and life lessons from an older and wiser Dolly Freed, whose knowledge of how to live like a possum has given her financial security and the confidence to try new ventures. “Compulsively readable . . . One message comes out loud and clear. As the 18-year- old sage Dolly Freed wrote: ‘I refuse to spend the first 60 years of my life worrying about the last 20.’” —New York Times Arts Beat “This book will not only make you laugh but might actually inspire you to embrace a simpler life.” —O, The Oprah Magazine “An elegant memoir.” —Philadelphia City Paper Following her success as an author, DOLLY FREED grew up to be a NASA aerospace engineer. She put herself through college after she aced the SATs with an educa- tion she received from the public library. She has also been an environmental educator, business owner, and college professor. She lives in Texas with her husband and two children.
  • 8. 7 Girls Write Now Two Decades of True Stories from Young Female Voices ANTHOLOGY OCTOBER 2018 Rights: North American • Materials: Finished Book 336 pages “This book is a resounding affirmation of young female life, in all its multiplicity.” —TAVI GEVINSON “Deeply important work—young women, now more than ever, must claim their own stories.” —EMMA CLINE, author of The Girls Apoignant collection of true stories written by young women from the Girls Write Now organization in New York City over the last twenty years. With astonishing urgency and candor, these memoirs tackle issues of race, gender, poverty, sex, education, politics, family, and friendship, capturing indelible snapshots of the past and laying bare hopes, insecurities, and wisdom for the future. Framing each section is inspiration from famous writers—Roxane Gay, Francine Prose, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Zadie Smith, Mia Alvar, Janet Mock, Lena Dunham, Gloria Steinem, Quiara AlegrĂ­a Hudes, and Alice Walker—offering guidance to a reader about where she’s been and where she might go.

  • 9. 8 When Rap Spoke Straight to God a poem by ERICA DAWSON POETRY SEPTEMBER 2018 Rights: World • Materials: Finished Book • 64 pages “Again, Erica Dawson has expanded the possibilities of what we think poetry can do. The lusciously long poems in When Rap Spoke Straight to God are sensual and openly political and so well-crafted in epic blank verse that we begin to see how the contemporary moment has yet to fully correct far too many historical moments.” —JERICHO BROWN, author of The New Testament ERICA DAWSON is the author of two collections of poetry: The Small Blades Hurt (Mea- sure Press, 2014), winner of the 2016 Poets’ Prize, and Big- Eyed Afraid (Waywiser Press, 2007), winner of the 2006 Anthony Hecht Poetry Prize. Her work has appeared in three editions of Best American Poetry, the Pushcart Prize XLI: Best of the Small Presses, Resistance, Rebellion, Life: 50 Poems Now, Barrow Street, Bennington Review, Crazyhorse, Harvard Review, Virginia Quarterly Review, and numerous other journals and an- thologies. She lives in Tampa, Florida and is an Associate Professor at University of Tampa, where she also directs the low-residency MFA program. When Rap Spoke Straight to God isn’t sacred or profane, but a chorus joined in a single soliloquy, demanding to be heard. There’s Wu-Tang and Mary Magdalene with a foot fetish, Lil’ Kim and a self-loving Lilith. Slurs, catcalls, verses, erasures— Dawson asks readers, “Just how far is it to nigger?” Both grounded and transcendent, the book is reality and possibility. Dawson’s work has always been raw, but When Rap Spoke Straight to God is as blunt as the answer to that earlier question: “Here.” Sometimes abrasive and often abraded, Dawson doesn’t flinch. A mix of traditional forms where sonnets mash up with sestinas morphing to heroic couplets, When Rap Spoke Straight to God insists that while you may recognize parts of the poem’s world, you can’t anticipate how it will evolve. With a literal exodus of light in the book’s final moments, When Rap Spoke Straight to God is a lament for and a celebration of blackness. It’s never depression; it’s defiance—a persistent resistance. In this book, like Wu-Tang says, the marginalized “ain’t nothing to fuck with.” A book-length poem navigating belief, black lives, the tragedies of Trump, and the boundaries of being a woman.

He was a Queer/Art/Mentors inaugural Fellow, 2013 Lambda Literary Fellow in poetry, 2016 Tin House Scholar, a 2017 NYSCA/NYFA Fellow in Poetry from the New York Founda- tion for the Arts, won the Brooklyn Public Library’s 2017 Literature Prize, and received a Whiting Award in 2018.

His Myers Briggs is IDGAF. @heyteebs The third book in Tommy Pico’s Teebs tetralogy, Junk is a breakup poem in couplets: ice floe and hot lava, a tribute to Janet Jackson and nacho cheese. In the static that follows the loss of a job or an apartment or a boyfriend, what can you grab onto for orienta- tion? The narrator wonders what happens to the sense of self when the illusion of security has been stripped away. And for an indigenous person, how do these lost markers of identity echo larger cultural losses and erasures in a changing political landscape? In part tak- ing its cue from A. R. Ammons’s Garbage, Teebs names this liminal space “Junk,” in the sense that a junk shop is full of old things waiting for their next use; differ- ent items that collectively become indistinct. But can there be a comfort outside the anxiety of utility? An appreciation of “being” for the sake of being? And will there be Chili Cheese Fritos? “As ever, Pico is a master of inclusion, of elevating the mundane to the sublime, of examining absurdity and grave seriousness with equal measure. This is an ambitious long poem, and Pico is uniquely qualified to both drag and celebrate modern day consumption and indulgence with graceful humor and grit.” —MORGAN PARKER, author of There are More Beautiful Things than BeyoncĂŠ MAY 2018 Rights: World • Materials: Finished Book • 80 pages Junk a poem by TOMMY PICO POETRY “Reading Tommy Pico’s Junk I kept thinking of Heather McHugh’s pronouncement that the main discipline of poetry is ‘to keep finding life strange.’ Pico is the master of making the stone stony, of returning the sheer absurdity of being to everything, from grief to intimacy to dating apps to donuts. Junk insists on the urgency of the quotidian, of, to borrow a phrase from Pico, ‘vibrant inconsequence.’ It’s rare to read a book that makes living feel so alive.” —KAVEH AKBAR, author of Calling a Wolf a Wolf

Reminiscent of Maggie Nelson’s The Argonauts . . . As the pages fly by, we’re right by Vanasco, breathlessly experiencing her grief, mania, revelations, and—ultimately—her relief.” —Entertainment Weekly MEMOIR The Glass Eye is Jeannie’s struggle to honor her fa- ther, her larger-than-life hero but also the man who named her after his daughter from a previous marriage, a daughter who died. After his funeral, Jeannie spends the next decade in escalating mania, in and out of hospitals—increas- ingly obsessed with the other Jeanne. Obsession turns to investigation as Jeannie plumbs her childhood awareness of her dead half sibling and hunts for clues into the mysterious circumstances of her death. It becomes a puzzle Jeannie feels she must solve to bet- ter understand herself and her father. Jeannie Vanasco pulls us into her unraveling with such intimacy that her insanity becomes palpable, even logical. A brilliant exploration of the human psyche, The Glass Eye deepens our definitions of love, sanity, grief, and recovery. “Wildly innovative.” —New York Magazine “Vanasco’s candor, curiosity, and commitment to human understanding are not to be missed.” —Booklist, Starred Review “The Glass Eye . . . is a truth so bright it might be your own broken heart, handed back to you.” —MELISSA FEBOS, author of Whip Smart & Abandon Me JEANNIE VANASCO is the au- thor of the memoir The Glass Eye (Tin House Books, 2017). Her work has appeared in The Believer, the New York Times Modern Love, Tin House, and elsewhere. She lives in Baltimore and is an assistant professor at Towson University.
