Why Fathers Cry at Night: A Memoir in Love Poems, Recipes, Letters, and Remembrances
by Alexander, Kwame       
(Hardcover - English - 9780316417228)
A new memoir and collection of love poems by New York Times bestselling author and Newbery Medalist winner Kwame Alexander. In a powerfully intimate and non-traditional (or "new-fashioned") memoir, Kwame Alexander shares snapshots of a man learning how to love. He takes us through stories of his parents: from being awkward newlyweds in the sticky Chicago summer of 1967, to the sometimes-confusing ways they showed their love for him. He explores his own relationships--his difficulties as a newly wedded, 22-year-old father, and the precariousness of his early marriage working in a jazz club with his first second wife. Alexander attempts to deal with the grief o ..

Reel Love
by Lee, Kenneth J.    Monica, Lee-Currie   
(Paperback - English - 9781088067161)
Dr. Monica never knew that her father was a writer of poetry and always wondered where she got her skill of writing from. While sharing each other's dreams of one day writing a book, Kenneth introduced Dr. Monica to the past time of fishing, which was a hobby he picked up while living in Pennsylvania. It has been through their father-daughter fishing outings that they have been able to really formulate their vision for writing a book of poetry and short-stories about topics that have influenced their lives. "Reel Love" is not a book about fishing, but a book about how the art of fishing helped the father-daughter team to bond, establish a renewed relationship, a ..

Deeply felt and beautifully built, the poems in Matthew Nienow's long-awaited debut shimmer with hard-won grace. . . . House of Water is a staggering book that marks the arrival of an important voice in American poetry.--Eduardo C. Corral This debut highlights fatherhood at its peak as it juggles the uncertainty and deeper meaning of everyday life. The hesitant, yet curious voice of the poems are deeply entrenched in the familial, yet also refreshingly open about the crush one feels when their ideals crash down. How does one build a life, only to be redirected and start anew? The Magazine is evening-lit in your hands br so the boat it shows in its small squa ..

What does it take to unlearn the survival instinct of trauma? What does it take to choose our tools instead of wearing down the ones we've been handed? In Cut to Bloom , Arhm Choi Wild attempts to forge answers to these questions by navigating the hyphen, sometimes chasm, between the Asian and American identity, between queerness and the politics of belonging, between survival and the possibility of choice. br br While talking back to the colonialism of strict poetic form, this book attempts to disrupt clear definitions and redefine the American identity as one that is constructed more by questions than answers. This book celebrates the self-made, rogue bo ..
