A single poem-- heart-rending, fearful, raging, beautiful, grotesque, even hilarious-- lets us know we're not alone in dealing with cancer. This was the idea that launched "The Cancer Poetry Project." Like the first volume, "The Cancer Poetry Project 2" drew more than 1,000 submissions from widely published poets, first-time poets and many poets in between. The resulting anthology features the best 140 poems, plus the story and the people behind each. Men, women and children. All walks of life. All types of cancer experiences. Readers will find comfort, understanding and much more in four chapters: Poems by Cancer Patients; Poems by Spouses, Partners, and Lovers; Poems by Family Members; and Poems by Friends and Health Advisors. Reviewers and readers call it powerful medicine.

The last half century witnessed an upheaval in scientific investigation of human meaning-making and meaning-sharing. Dynamism in Metaphor and Beyond, is offered as a snapshot of the status of this multidisciplinary endeavor—a peak under the umbrella of what Cognitive Linguistics, Psycholinguistics, Figurative Language Studies and related fields have morphed into. This volume honors Raymond W. Gibbs, who played no small role in this upheaval. The themes and insights emerging from the chapters (i.e., among others, a need for account integration, a new appreciation of the dynamic nature of figurative [and all] meaning-making, a need for continued broadening of the communicative techniques in our studied topics, greater attention to emotion, a deepened appreciation of social motivations and psychological processes involved, etc.) may guide us in our continued grappling with meaning-making and meaning-sharing, via metaphor, through figurative language, and via other communicative phenomena associated with them.

Go To the Living plumbs the trajectories of grief, memory, and writing about these, with searing truthfulness; its language is alive with a creative spirit of fathering. -- Judy Z. Kronenfeld

As a child, he was fascinated by his mother’s washing machine, and for his third birthday, his parents gave him a toy one. He could wash and dry his own clothes before he was ten and taught himself to iron as a teenager. His initial curiosity led him to research, explore, and experiment with different methods of clothing care. Now, as the Laundry Evangelist, he offers Laundry Camp, owns a laundry product store, and shares his advice in Laundry Love (2021). His goal is to make laundry faster, cheaper, greener, and more enjoyable. He also shares stories about his loved ones, particularly the women who raised him and sparked his interest in textiles, taught him how to care for clothes, and always showered him with love.

“The cross-section of poets with varying poetics and styles gathered here is only one of the many admirable achievements of this volume.” —Claudia Rankine in the New York Times The Golden Shovel Anthology celebrates the life and work of poet and civil rights icon Gwendolyn Brooks through a dynamic new poetic form, the Golden Shovel, created by National Book Award–winner Terrance Hayes. An array of writers—including winners of the Pulitzer Prize, the T. S. Eliot Prize, and the National Book Award, as well as a couple of National Poets Laureate—have written poems for this exciting new anthology: Rita Dove, Billy Collins, Danez Smith, Nikki Giovanni, Sharon Olds, Tracy K. Smith, Mark Doty, Sharon Draper, Richard Powers, and Julia Glass are just a few of the contributing poets. This second edition includes Golden Shovel poems by two winners and six runners-up from an international student poetry competition judged by Nora Brooks Blakely, Gwendolyn Brooks’s daughter. The poems by these eight talented high school students add to Ms. Brooks’s legacy and contribute to the depth and breadth of this anthology.
