New in March: How to Escape From a Leper Colony, Obabakoak, and We Don't Know We Don't Know
How to Escape From a Leper Colony by Tiphanie Yanique “To wrap your mind around life on an island, you need to
understand insularity, restlessness, the way it feels to have a fluid sense of
identity. All this and more is what you get from Tiphanie Yanique’s haunting and vibrant debut fiction
collection.”
“Bernardo Atxaga’s Obabakoak
is an achievement. . . . The collection deserves preservation, like the
language of its original publication. It will likely shape thought and
literature for years to come.”
We Don't Know We Don't Know by Nick Lantz “If this remarkably ambitious collection is in some ways an
ontological quest exploring the limits of optics and epistemology with
reference to Darwin and Aristotle, Petrarch and Christ, Plato and Tutankhamen,
it is also a celebration of bees and eels and finches, of wildfires and
crickets and light. Moving seamlessly from fable and folk tale to history and
mathematics and physics, these
exquisitely speculative pieces continually tug at the heart and tease the
reader into thought. Having read Nick Lantz’s wonderful poetry, no matter
what I don’t know I don’t know, I do know I know: this is truly a book of marvels, a marvel of a book.”
