Dani Putney's debut poetry collection, SALAMAT SA INTERSECTIONALITY, is a lyrical triptych that traces the evolution of the speaker's identity as a queer, non-binary, mixed-race Filipinx, and neurodivergent individual. Each "panel" of the speaker's life represents a distinct period of growth: a youthful beginning, which features important interactions with the speaker's parents; a sexually charged middle period that demonstrates the speaker's explorations of queer sexuality; and a contemplative third section wherein the speaker reckons with their various "selves." Imagery of the American West percolates through the collection to ground the speaker in their intersectional identity.

For many, the word “emo” calls to mind angsty teenagers, shaggy black haircuts, and skinny jeans. A popular music phenomenon in the early 2000s, emo is short for “emotional hardcore,” and refers to both a music genre and a youth scene notable for its androgynous style. Judith May Fathallah pushes beyond the stereotypes and social stigma to explore how online fandom has shaped the definition of emo, with significant implications both for millennial constructs of gender and for contemporary fan studies. First laying out the debate over what emo is, Fathallah walks superfans and newcomers through the culture surrounding thegenre’s major bands, including the emo holy trinity: My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, and Panic! At the Disco. Next she examines fans’ main mode of participation in the emo subculture—online communities such as LiveJournal, Tumblr, MySpace, and band websites. Taking a hard look at the gender politics that dominated those spaces, she unearths a subculture that simultaneously defines itself by its sensitivity and resistance to traditional forms of masculinity, yet ruthlessly enforces homophobic and sexist standards. Fathallah demonstrates fandom’s key role in defining emo as a concept and genre after 2001, with probing insight into its implications for gender constructions through popular music.

Have you ever wondered what your dental hygienist is thinking about as she cleans your teeth? Here's a clue-it's not your teeth. Patricia is a dental hygienist, an inveterate daydreamer, and a lesbian. In the midst of cleaning people's teeth, she fluctuates flawlessly between her inner and outer worlds. And it is during one of these routine cleanings that a story pops into her head. There's Frederick, a guy who has failed his driving test ninety-nine times, and a woman on the run named Tulsa. Then there's RaeEllen and Daryl John, brilliant skaters who have always been in Patricia's mind, but never given her a story. As the days go by, Patricia continues to explore her characters by asking her patients questions about their own lives, and soon, she is merrily immersed in her fictional world. When she takes the plunge to write a screenplay, Patricia's creative process explodes and she begins to experience the joy, frustration, and satisfaction of writing. Critique partners and a screenwriting conference in Hollywood follow and Patricia begins to realize that maybe, just maybe, her daydreams will appear on the silver screen someday-if she just believes. Filled with fun and quirky characters, Slather is the engaging account of daydreams in action and of the magic inside us all when we choose to believe the impossible.
