Poetry. "SWOLE full y'all--of what flotsam language is when time comes to name the wrongs befalling (some of) us. A songbook of catastrophes--these, big as bodies, small as cities--Marchan's reeling debut is the real thing. She washed her lines in Katrina's filthy water till they smeared into gendercrit mondegreens, broad dialects, Yung Crank's crunk-ass barz, and syntax that's at once saturated and eroded. Reckoning the wreckage, she writes: 'after the rain has left my room coldish / ... I light / candles makes me feel / oceanic or just salty'--vast and pissed, deep and caustic, SWOLE near bursts with poetry."--Douglas Kearney "Against the impulse to 'draw lines as a kind of forgetting,' Jerika Marchan's SWOLE comes 'a-knockin' just in the nick of time. In the tradition that includes the work of C.D. Wright, Myung Mi Kim and NourbeSe Philip, this is a book we've been waiting for: the one in which the catastrophe is on-going, beginning again and again in the speaker who is also a listener, who brings together (in a dialogic dance mix), a history of responsive, hopeful and hopeless, gestures, moving us deep into the embodied, simultaneous time of the aftermath in which what happened goes on overflowing whatever walls were put in place to hold it back. The famous formulation about time ('you can't step in the same river twice') is undone here: the poet makes it clear that to be human is to be humid, and that (as the waters keep rising), we don't get to get out of the river. Built 'to accommodate the flood,' Jericka Marchan's first book is a conduit to the wide-open living we all need to do: dive in, swallow, swell. "--Laura Mullen "How does one survive a disaster of such magnitude that it uproots a culture, a history, a life? Jerika Marchan's SWOLE helicopters over the breached levee and breakwater, as roofs rip and fly like paper over her home city, in the midst of Hurricane Katrina. This is not a past. It is a present of immense proportion, and Marchan's lyric gift lifts us right into the eye of the storm. This is poetry of unimaginable strength and deliverance."--D. A. Powell "Jerika Marchan's SWOLE is both chronicle and canticle of Katrina: choral and various, silty and loamy, light-throated and dark-hued. Her multivocal rendering recalls Kamau Brathwaite's Tempest-driven 'video style'; like Brathwaite, she spins a shipwrecked archive of a historical catastrophe threaded with so many other submerged (yet rising) voices. A textured and haunting debut."--Joyelle McSweeney
From a Washington Post critic and self-described meathead: a witty, incisive, poignant exploration of male body image, from the history of the gym to the politics of superheroes to the world of manfluencers Michael Brodeur is a Gen-X gay writer with a passion for bodybuilding and an insatiable curiosity about masculinity--a concept in which many men are currently struggling to find their place. In our current moment, where "manfluencers" on TikTok tease their audiences with their latest videos, where right-wing men espouse the importance of being "alpha," as toxic masculinity and the patriarchy are being rightfully criticized, the nature of masculinity has become murkier than ever. In excavating this complex topic, Brodeur uses the male body as his guide: its role in cultures from the gymnasia of ancient Greece to Walt Whitman's essays on manly health, from the rise of Muscular Christianity in 19th-century America to the swollen superheroes and Arnold Schwarzeneggers of Brodeur's childhood. Interweaving history, cultural criticism, memoir, and reportage, laced with an irrepressible wit, Brodeur takes us into the unique culture centered around men's bodies, probing its limitations and the promise beyond: how men can love themselves while rejecting the aggression, objectification, and misogyny that have for so long accompanied the quest to become swole.

SCRAWNY GUYS! If you're tired of being skinny (or skinny-fat) and you want to know how to bulk up fast and pack on muscle safely and cheaply, keep reading. Even if you're unathletic, you have an ultra-fast metabolism, you're past your prime, or if you've tried lifting weights before but didn't get the gains you were promised. You can absolutely get big and strong. That's exactly what fitness enthusiast Reese Dockrey did after age 30. Despite being a life-long "hardgainer," he did his research and learned how to overcome his scrawny genetics and get shredded. Using the latest scientific developments, plus his own incredible true story, Dockrey will guide you through the steps of bulking (healthy overeating), strength training (turning those extra calories into muscle), and cutting (eliminating the fat and leaving behind a jacked, athletic body). The process is simple: you can do it with quick workouts, an inexpensive diet, plenty of "cheat meals," and minimal supplements. However, it's complicated enough that you do need to learn some things before you start bulking up. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS BOOK: *Understand your body type, genetics, and muscle-building potential *Know whether you should cut before you bulk *Bulk with the optimal number of calories so you don't gain more weight than necessary *Know how fast you should gain weight and muscle (and how to track your gains) *Understand your macros: protein, fat, and carbs *Eat the right foods ("clean bulking") so you build muscle and don't create new health issues *Critical bulking hacks and high-calorie shake recipes for "hard gainers" with small appetites *Tips for bulking on a budget or out of a dorm room *How to cut bodyfat without losing muscle *Understand the process of building muscle and the different ways to do it *Choose the right workout program for you, and join a gym or build your own *Know which lifts to use, how to do them safely, and how to recover from each workout *Track your workout progress and troubleshoot when a program isn't working *Stay motivated when the going gets tough *And so much more! Chances are, you've already done a little research about bulking, and you probably noticed that the experts don't agree on much: how many calories to eat, which foods are healthier, which lifting program is best, and so on. Then there's the snake oil salesmen promising you can "gain 20 pounds of muscle and zero fat!" Obviously, the fitness world is a confusing place. This book is different; it will give you the facts (backed by science) and not a one-size-fits-all approach. You'll learn all the various options available to you based on your unique physical traits, personal goals, and finances. After reading it, you'll be armed with the knowledge you need to transform your body from scrawny to swole; from skinny-fat to jacked; from tall and lanky to filled-out and imposing. Consider Thomas Jefferson's advice: "If you want something you've never had, you must be willing to do something you've never done." For you, that means it's time to bulk up. Let my book be your guide; your Sherpa to the mountain top. The view at the top is worth it!
