They need a big event to bolster their dreams of becoming mangaka, like...a hot springs vacation? There, one of them might even blurt out a (genuine) confession--unless someone else decides to crash the party!

In their thirteenth book, experienced gardeners and authors Janet Melrose and Sheryl Normandeau share their wisdom on growing veggies, herbs, fruits, and more indoors in our homes, bringing the greens inside and growing food all year.

From New York Times bestselling illustrator Dani Jones comes a heartfelt exploration of sisterhood, forgiveness, and outer space invasions.

Mary Seaver lives in her own world. It's not her fault if sometimes her enthusiasm creates chaos. To Mary, that's what being 10 years old and a huge science fiction fan is all about. Allison "Al" Seaver is Mary's older sister--and she's everything that Mary is not: cool, calm, collected, and super popular.

So it makes sense that when aliens invade their hometown of Pleasant Valley, Mary's trying to warn everyone about the end of the world while Al's just hoping it will all go away before the spring dance. But when a secret emerges from their family's past, Mary and Al find themselves turning to their most unlikely ally: each other.

James Ciano's debut collection, The Committee of Men, explores the cycles of violence men inflict on one another and themselves, examining how silence, shame, and inherited expectations shape masculine identity. Rooted in the speaker's experience as a college athlete from a family of athletes--including a father who is a high school football coach--these poems confront the emotional weight of tradition and the often-unspoken struggles of male intimacy, mental illness, and familial pressure.

Through sharp lyricism and emotional honesty, Ciano delves into themes of belonging and exile, accountability and forgiveness, and the quiet damage done by historically unexamined masculinity, asking what it means to break these generational cycles without severing connection, and how healing might emerge in places where vulnerability is discouraged or denied. The result is a collection that is both unflinching and deeply humane--an urgent, resonant debut that refuses to look away.

The Committee of Men also includes a foreword by acclaimed poet David St. John, whose introduction situates Ciano's work within a broader conversation about masculinity and poetic tradition, and underscores the collection's emotional depth and significance.

At the Gate gathers more than seventy previously unpublished poems by the iconic American poet Lucille Clifton written over the last two decades of her life. Discovered in digital archives by poet and scholar Kazim Ali, these poems span a prolific and reflective period in Clifton's career as she shifted from typewriters to word processors and desktop computers. Many were originally drafted for publication, but set aside-until now.

Edited by Ali, this collection includes a contextual Foreword and detailed notes that illuminate Clifton's late writing process and the editorial journey of these poems--deepening and expanding the themes that defined Clifton's celebrated body of work.

At the Gate is a profound and necessary addition to Clifton's legacy--one that reaffirms her place as a poet of the body, the spirit, and the deep truths that we must endure--her voice as intimate, fearless, and luminous as ever.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind meets Annihilation in this poetic space-age fable of proletarian internationalism.

At the end of the twenty-first century, on the shores of the Indian Ocean, a minor Marxist politician's speech is interrupted by the arrival of an iridescent, pill-shaped object. It brings him, briefly, to another world, and to a state of ecstasy he will struggle to interpret upon his return. Soon, many others will be offered the same incantatory opportunity. Rival states attempt to capitalize on these developments, and a cynical spy sets an elaborate psychological operation in motion. Thousands of miles away, on an agricultural commune near the Caspian Sea, a young poet spends her nights troubled by prophetic dreams. The politician, the spy, and the poet will be ineluctably drawn into one another's orbits, as will the mysterious Bell Letterist, author of a text about 'the interdimensional will to the aesthetic' - a powerful motive force that requires human solidarity in order to thrive.

The Coffin of Honey is inspired equally by apocryphal stories of Alexander the Great, Bolaño-esque tales of literary vanishings, thousand-year-old Persian poems by exiled princesses, and the fever-dream conclusions of every parapolitical conspiracy theory that might just be true.

A new manga from the creator of the acclaimed A Silent Voice, featuring intimate, emotional drama and an epic story spanning time and space...

Could the 2024 election have been the last free election held in a unified America? - "A dire warning of the right's drift towards authoritarianism." --Financial Times

Published in the run-up to Donald Trump's victory, Rebellion sounded a chilling and clear-eyed warning about the threats posed to American democracy by the increasingly radicalized Republican Party. With the Trump administration in place, and attempting a systematic dismantling of the traditionally liberal principles on which America was founded, Robert Kagan's lessons and insights have become only more urgent.

Kagan dives deeper than the op-eds and think pieces to explore the historical forces that brought us to a second Trump term--in particular the long history of opposition to liberalism, and to government, that has shaped America's character from the time of the Revolution to today. Trump's unique capacity to tap into that tradition of dissent and circumvent the American system has brought us to the edge of dissolution--not for the first time in our history but possibly the last.

Rebellion is an elegant and deeply informed synthesis of history, contemporary politics, and ideas that sheds light on this crucial moment.
