Marcos McPeek Villatoro is not afraid to discuss mysteries, truths, or injustices. He has lived them. Poet and novelist, activist and radio personality, Villatoro writes poetry steeped in formalism, free verse, and his own Salvadoran syntax. This new collection is a memoir-in-poems telling how the world appears to a Latin American immigrant. His sense of humanity is intact. He has a family, a job, a life in the States. But the face of the Mayan hero Tekœn Um‡n hangs in his office, and he has "made clear all political positions by standing behind the wooden mask of a dead man." Villatoro is a writer with a keen political sensibility and a sense of humor besides. After confronting the reader with weighty issues, he pauses to have an encounter with a curandera in a cornfield; to speculate on a visit from extraterrestrials; and to pay tribute to his free-spirited, loose-living Uncle Jack, who "chewed forest mushrooms like a rabbit, / Then howled at a California night / While whispering querida above open thighs." Combining Borgean logic, the grit of Neruda, and a heady dose of Zen, Villatoro offers a primer on how to integrate a history of brutality and injustice with the privilege and comfort of life in America. A final section of poems is presented in Spanish onlyÑa statement of ascendance, a strategy for identity preservation, a gift to the cognoscenti. Reading On Tuesday, When the Homeless Disappeared may make you shift in your seatÑperhaps even toss in your sleepÑas you encounter a poignant human voice that is unafraid to speak from the heart.
Driven from his neighborhood during the Chicago fire of 1871, Adrian and his parents move to the Michigan wilderness where his father lands a job at the sawmill. The town is called Singapore - as if a name could make a tiny spot of town into a great seaport. Adrian finds it difficult to adjust to his new surroundings. Back in Chicago, it was easy to keep his hobby a secret, even from his father. But in this small town, will people discover who the true knitter of the family is? Just as Adrian starts to feel that Singapore is his home, he discovers the moving sand dunes along the Lake michigan shore are slowly burying his town. He tries to stop it, but how can he fight both man and nature?
★★★★★ Exciting and frightening »Just like the previous three books, I couldn't put it down. ... I certainly hope for a further continuation of the series.« ★★★★★ Captivating and frightening »In the 4th part as well, cases are described that simply leave one stunned. The author's evaluations and theories probably come very close to the truth…« ★★★★★ Mega exciting! »A very exciting and also somewhat eerie book. Good structuring of the individual fates. One can hardly believe how many people simply vanish into thin air. Highly recommended!« These people simply disappear. Very profoundly and very decisively. So much so that even tracking dogs can no longer follow the trail they must have left behind. The question here is: Are the dogs unwilling to follow the trail because they are afraid… or is there simply no trail, perhaps because the trail has vanished with the victim from our timeline, from our causality? Or is there no trail because the victim has disappeared into a parallel reality, leaving their trail there, in this parallel reality…? They are simply gone… as if they were never there… some reappear… under highly mysterious circumstances… these are their stories. In numerous cases, search teams report having seen the victim, who supposedly ran away from them… or they find traces of the victim that are so scattered that it is questionable whether the traces belong to the victim, and if so, how the victim could have been in these various, widely separated locations. Conversely, the victims—if they are found alive and can make a statement—report that they were pursued by 'strange people,' that they were chased through the forest. A woman says that they seemed not to see her… the people were right in front of her, yet they appeared to see 'through' her. Are we talking about the same event here? Do the victims see their rescuers, who are searching for them… but due to a strange confusion of their minds, they do not recognize them and perceive them as a threat, as 'strange people' chasing them through the forest? And do the rescuers not see the victim? Even though the victim is right in front of them… like a ghost…

For a decade, from 1983 to 1993, homelessness was a major concern in the United States. In 1994, this public concern suddenly disappeared, without any significant reduction in the number of people without proper housing. By examining the making and unmaking of a homeless crisis, this book explores how public understandings of what constitutes a social crisis are shaped. Drawing on five years of ethnographic research in New York City with African Americans and Latinos living in poverty, Where Have All the Homeless Gone? reveals that the homeless "crisis" was driven as much by political misrepresentations of poverty, race, and social difference, as the housing, unemployment, and healthcare problems that caused homelessness and continue to plague American cities.
A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK • From an award-winning journalist, a poignant and gripping immersion in the life of a young, homeless single mother amid her quest to find stability and shelter in the richest city in America LONGLISTED FOR THE PEN/JEAN STEIN BOOK AWARD • “Riveting . . . a remarkable feat of reporting.”—The New York Times Camila is twenty-two years old and a new mother. She has no family to rely on, no partner, and no home. Despite her intelligence and determination, the odds are firmly stacked against her. In this extraordinary work of literary reportage, Lauren Sandler chronicles a year in Camila’s life—from the birth of her son to his first birthday—as she navigates the labyrinth of poverty and homelessness in New York City. In her attempts to secure a safe place to raise her son and find a measure of freedom in her life, Camila copes with dashed dreams, failed relationships, the desolation of abandonment, and miles of red tape with grit, humor, and uncanny resilience. Every day, more than forty-five million Americans attempt to survive below the poverty line. Every night, nearly sixty thousand people sleep in New York City-run shelters, 40 percent of them children. In This Is All I Got, Sandler brings this deeply personal issue to life, vividly depicting one woman's hope and despair and her steadfast determination to change her life despite the myriad setbacks she encounters. This Is All I Got is a rare feat of reporting and a dramatic story of survival. Sandler’s candid and revealing account also exposes the murky boundaries between a journalist and her subject when it becomes impossible to remain a dispassionate observer. She has written a powerful and unforgettable indictment of a system that is often indifferent to the needs of those it serves, and that sometimes seems designed to fail. Praise for This Is All I Got “A rich, sociologically valuable work that’s more gripping, and more devastating, than fiction.”—Booklist “Vivid, heartbreaking. . . . Readers will be moved by this harrowing and impassioned call for change.”—Publishers Weekly “A closely observed chronicle . . . Sandler displays her journalistic talent by unerringly presenting this dire situation. . . . An impressive blend of dispassionate reporting, pungent condemnation of public welfare, and gritty humanity.” —Kirkus Reviews
