Poetry. Translated from the French by Norma Cole. Born into a Breton family active in the Resistance during the Second World War, Danielle Collobert moved to Paris at the age of 19. There, she took her own life in the summer of 1978. These notebooks were found in her posession at the time of her death. "Beyond everything she has discovered her own utter nakedness: that owned by nights of relentless attention to the other, or reflected in mirrors of all-night cafés where you can look, listen or simply wait, attending the blank page, from which the lassitude of daybreak will rescue you, overwhelm you."--Uccio Esposito-Torrigiani, from the Postface "She enunciates the words for desire and for loss of the other words with harrowing intensity...[and] explores the limits of the phenomenal body and of speech by the agency of a prose which defies category."--Michael Palmer "In Danielle Collobert's NOTEBOOKS the urgency of her writing is accompanied by the weight of hindsight--that we know how it ends--and yet it is not stifled by morbidity. Instead, the intensity and integrity of her struggles rise to the surface. Collobert's questions--of presence in the world, of politics and intimacy--are constantly recovered from the blur of experience. Collobert moves towards and away in a feverish attempt to connect, stay connected--whether in her personal encounters, moments of activism or writing--and though she ultimately chooses death, there is enough life in her writing to carry on: 'the hum of life all around... I open / and I close.'"--E. Tracy Grinnell "Indelible fragments."--Jeff Jackson "The text of this book is sourced from several notebooks and loose pages found in the Paris hotel room where Danielle Collobert committed suicide... Spanning over 20 years of her life, the text in form resembles the poetry of It Then, though the content is in most cases less abstract. Fragmented phrases separated by dashes describe her interior life, her extensive travels, her relationships with men (though always rather vaguely), her recurring need for solitude, and above all, her experiences with writing. Throughout there is a haunting, hunted desperation in her words, as in each new place she finds herself, she encounters the same familiar struggles with indifference and anxiety, always with death not far from her mind."--S. D. Stewart
For the last five decades, the Dani of the central highlands of West Papua, along with other Papuans, have struggled with the oppressive conditions of Indonesian rule. Formal education holds the promise of escape from stigmatization and violence. Dreams Made Small offers an in-depth, ethnographic look at journeys of education among young Dani men and women, asking us to think differently about education as a trajectory for transformation and belonging, and ultimately revealing how dreams of equality are shaped and reshaped in the face of multiple constraints.
“Beautifully crafted . . . the sentences in these stories are living and seamless, as if Lazarin had run her hand over them until they became smooth and gleaming with the evidence of her touch.” —Carmen Maria Machado, The New York Times Book Review From an award-winning writer, a stunning collection of stories about women’s unexpressed desires and needs, and the unexpected ways they resurface In “Floor Plans,” a woman at the end of her marriage tests her power when she inadvertently befriends the neighbor trying to buy her apartment. In “Appetite,” a sixteen-year old grieving her mother’s death experiences first love and questions how much more heartbreak she and her family can endure. In “Dinosaurs,” a recent widower and a young babysitter help each other navigate how much they have to give—and how much they can take—from the people around them. Through stories that are at once empathetic and unexpected, these women and girls defiantly push the boundaries between selfishness and self-possession. With a fresh voice and bold honesty, Back Talk examines how narrowly our culture allows women to express their desires. “Deceptively quiet but packs a powerful punch . . . The best collection I’ve read in years, from a phenomenal new talent.” —Celeste Ng
New edition of a breathless prose work with a unique vision of suburbia.
Translated from the French by Norma Cole. The first English translation of this French poet, now an influence on many young American poets, who died at the age of 37 in 1978. Beverly Dahlen comments: Collobert's dash is a materialization of the gap within speech and the rush to close even as one discloses it... the page bears the record of these bursts of language ...Collobert insists on `being without a subject, ' as if being were radically different from, absolutely divided from its subject. And like an archeologist she preserves the fragments of this ruined subject against time, `to reproduce the duration' ...appalling in the intensity of their imagination of the literal body transmuted into writing. Michael Palmer comments: She enunciates the words for desire and for loss the other words with harrowing intensity. IT THEN explores the limits of the phenomenal body and of speech by the agency of a prose which defies category. Poetry.

Get the first three books in the award-winning, urban fantasy series More than Magic in a single bundle! This set contains the first three books in the More than Magic series; Semester Aboard, Snow Bound, and Soul Choice. Book One: Semester Aboard (Gold Medal winner, Readers' Favorite International Book Awards) I should have packed a stake. I thought a two-month cruise around Latin America would be filled with magical moments. I never imagined I’d be swimming with a mermaid or hiking through a rainforest with a werewolf. That is, until that fateful night when I met Thomas and the others out on deck and discovered that magic is real. Now, they’re teaching me how to use my newfound powers and what’s more, they’ve welcomed me into the close-knit little family they’ve built together. Turns out we aren’t the only paranormal beings on board, and our bloodthirsty enemy isn’t happy we’re here. A week ago, I didn’t even believe vampires were real, but now we’re being stalked by one. Trapped on the ship, with no way to call for help, it’s up to us to stop him and save the rest of the passengers… and ourselves. If we can’t, we might never set foot on land again. Book Two: Snow Bound The wrong person has learned our secret… It has been five months since I found out that I’m a witch. Even my familiar, Rak, isn’t a replacement for spending time with the other magical beings I grew close with over the summer. A ski trip with them is exactly what I need to immerse myself in magic again. It’s wonderful being back with everyone without a vampire stalking us… but the slopes aren’t as peaceful as they seem. Throw in the surprise arrival of my non-magic cousin, a blizzard, and a suspicious werewolf next door, and our relaxing vacation is turning into a nightmare. After an attack leaves one of us on the brink of death, the race is on to defend ourselves from our mysterious enemy. My magic is stronger now, but will it be strong enough to save my friends, my cousin, and get us all off the mountain alive? Book Three: Soul Choice Forget everything you know… about magic. Taking classes to improve my spell-casting and learn more about the magical world has hit an unexpected snag: people keep mistaking me for someone else. And it’s clear that my double is not a popular witch. I try not to worry about it, until being mistaken for her gets me kidnapped by people who want revenge for what she did. But taking me hostage is only part of a larger plan and when Thomas and the others come to my rescue, we find ourselves caught right in the middle of a sinister experiment. Turned into unwilling test subjects and given a dangerous potion, we have less than a week to get the antidote and the clock is ticking fast. But the casualty rate in the experiment is high and at least one of us is already dying. Our only chance rests with the kidnappers and my double. Trusting them might be a mistake, but we don’t have another choice. The More than Magic series is a New Adult Urban Fantasy series, packed with witches, vampires, shifters, elementals, and a host of magical creatures. If you like paranormal characters with found family, a dash of sweet romance, and twists and turns you can sink your teeth into, grab the first three books today!
