Beginning in 2018, Ahmed M. Badr—an Iraqi-American poet and former refugee—traveled to Greece, Trinidad & Tobago, and Syracuse, New York, holding storytelling workshops with hundreds of displaced youth: those living in and outside of camps, as well as those adjusting to life after resettlement. Combining Badr’s own poetry with the personal narratives and creative contributions of dozens of young refugees, While the Earth Sleeps We Travel seeks to center and amplify the often unheard perspectives of those navigating through and beyond the complexities of displacement. The result is a diverse and moving collection—a meditation on the concept of "home" and a testament to the power of storytelling.

Her mother is long dead. Her only sibling is missing. Her father, Doctor Elliott, is perpetually working at the hospital, trying to save the injured and dying Patriots of the American Revolution. Confusion, chaos, and destruction are all part of Meredith's life now as she, too, becomes a player in the struggle for freedom. Trapped in Philadelphia, Meredith finds purpose as a courier of life-saving messages to the Patriots in the field. Along the way, she meets the handsome-but British-William Castleton, a successful shipping tycoon whose true motives and loyalties are difficult to establish. Stalked and threatened by the dangerous Major Hastings, Meredith is propelled to life-threatening heights as the war for freedom heats up and she, at last, discovers why God has sent her down this path.

In the tales that make up The Elephant Vanishes, the imaginative genius that has made Haruki Murakami an international superstar is on full display. In these stories, a man sees his favorite elephant vanish into thin air; a newlywed couple suffers attacks of hunger that drive them to hold up a McDonald’s in the middle of the night; and a young woman discovers that she has become irresistible to a little green monster who burrows up through her backyard. By turns haunting and hilarious, in The Elephant Vanishes Murakami crosses the border between separate realities—and comes back bearing remarkable treasures. Includes the story "Barn Burning," which is the basis for the major motion picture Burning.
