Book Description
When Danny Cumberland went to prison, Pierce Brosnan was still James Bond. Eighteen months after he got out of prison, he found out he had a daughter. She'd been kidnapped and murdered just a year before he was paroled. Danny is staying out of trouble, trying to run a business, and learning to fit back into a world that left him behind twelve years ago. He's also trying to piece together the life of a child he never knew. As he digs deeper into the investigation, questions start popping up. Her body was the wrong height. Her hair color was wrong. But the DNA matched, didn't it? DNA is never wrong. Is it? If she's still alive, saving her means violating his parole and lying to people he's come to care about. How far will an ex-con go to rescue a daughter he never knew who isn’t even supposed to be alive?

Book Description
From the phenomenally bestselling author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time comes Mark Haddon’s first collection of poems. That Mark Haddon’s first book after The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time is a book of poetry may surprise his many fans; that it is also one of such virtuosity and range will not. The Talking Horse and the Sad Girl and the Village Under the Sea reveals a poet of great versatility and formal talent. All the gifts so admired in Haddon’s prose are in strong evidence here – the humanity, the dark humour, and the uncanny ventriloquism – but Haddon is also a writer of considerable seriousness, lyric power, and surreal invention. This book will consolidate his reputation as one of the most imaginative writers in contemporary literature.

Book Description
Sad Black Girl (SBG) is a collection of poetry, art,tips,and activities that explores the difficulties of dealing with mental illness. Sad Black Girl was first created as an outlet for the author, Harmony Edosomwan, to discuss her struggles with depression, but through time, the purpose of SBG has shifted. It is not only an outlet for the author herself, but can be used as a space for others to release and learn. Society tells Black girls that we aren't allowed to feel. When we do try, we are barraged with a number of stereotypes, insults, and apathy. But here, in the world of Sad Black Girl, we can feel. There is no judgement here. No stereotypes. No expectations. You can let everything out, without holding back. This a safe space filled with unconditional love and support. Sad Black Girl can't cover every sad black girl's experiences, because sad black girls aren't monolithic. However, this collection of poetry and art is for sad black girls,by fellow sad black girls/femmes. With the rising rates of suicide among Black youth it is imperative for Black and Brown communities to break from the stigma of mental illness. It's time for society as a whole to destigmatize mental illness. There are ways to deal with and understand your inner pains and traumas. This book doesn't contain answers, but it is real and raw, and folks will be able to gain tips from people who are are "going through it" as well. This book is intended for Black and Brown audiences, but has since been accepted by a variety of other communities as well. Everyone and anyone can gain and learn from Sad Black Girl.

Book Description
Diamond Sharp’s Super Sad Black Girl is a love letter to her hometown of Chicago, where her speaker finds solace and community with her literary idols in the hopes of answering the question: What does it look like when Black women are free? Lorraine Hansberry and Gwendolyn Brooks appear throughout, counseling the speaker as she navigates her own depression and exploratory questions about the “Other Side,” as do Sandra Bland, Rekia Boyd, and other Black women who have been murdered by police violence. Sharp’s poetry is self-assured, playful, and imaginative, reminiscent of Langston Hughes with its precision and brevity. The book explores purgatorial, in-between spaces that the speaker occupies, as she struggles to find a place, a time, where she can live safely and freely. With her skillful use of repetition, particularly with her series of concrete poems, lines and voices echo across the book so the reader, too, feels suspended within Sharp’s lyric moments. Super Sad Black Girl is a compassionate and ethereal depiction of mental illness from a promising and powerful poet.

Book Description
Autotheory--the commingling of theory and philosophy with autobiography--as a mode of critical artistic practice indebted to feminist writing and activism. In the 2010s, the term "autotheory" began to trend in literary spheres, where it was used to describe books in which memoir and autobiography fused with theory and philosophy. In this book, Lauren Fournier extends the meaning of the term, applying it to other disciplines and practices. Fournier provides a long-awaited account of autotheory, situating it as a mode of contemporary, post-1960s artistic practice that is indebted to feminist writing, art, and activism. Investigating a series of works by writers and artists including Chris Kraus and Adrian Piper, she considers the politics, aesthetics, and ethics of autotheory.
