Drain
by Davis Schneiderman
"It s the year 2039, and Lake Michigan is mysteriously emptied of water. In this seemingly endless desert east of Chicago, three factions are locked in conflict: end-of-times cultist settlers who worship a giant World Worm they deem responsible for the drained lake; Quadrilateral, a mega-corporation determined to develop the now dry lake; and the Blackout Angels, landlocked punk pirates who oppose everything and everyone. "

Play Their Hearts Out: A Coach,
His Star Recruit, and
the Youth Basketball Machine

The Illusion of Free Markets:
Punishment and the Myth
of Natural Order
by Bernard E. Harcourt
Harcourt excavates the historical genealogy of the twin myths of the 'free market' and the 'diligent police' to illumine the current American predicament of steep social inequality and gargantuan prisons. He reveals that the current idolatry of the market finds its roots in the eighteenth-century notion of 'natural order,' which fosters both minimal government in economic matters and maximal government in law and order.
Practical Water
(Wesleyan Poetry Series)
by Brenda Hillman
Not since Allen Ginsberg tried to levitate the Pentagon has American poetry seen the likes of the hallucinatory wit and moral clarity. Violence and the common world, fact and dream, science and magic, intuition and perception are reconfigured as the poet explores matters of spirit in political life and earthly fate.
Everyday People
by Kevin Coval
Funny, sexy, and empathic, Hip-Hop poet Coval riffs on the knot of family and the revelations kicked up by chance encounters, meditates on America’s sorrows and beauty as he rides cross-country trains and a subway that rises from the shadows to the light on elevating tracks. Coval is an enemy of complacence and a believer in cross-pollination, and like the corner store he describes, his well-stocked poems contain “beef jerky and sandalwood incense,” that is, earth and spirit, body and soul.
