"These poems by Tsvetaeva positively scorch the page. What other poet, of this or any century, can match her for ferocity? Wrested from the maelstrom, her imagery alone is a perpetual revelation: unadorned, unprecedented, brutally on target. English-language readers owe a profound debt of gratitude to Mary Jane White for these brilliant translations." -Linda Gregerson, Caroline Walker Bynum Distinguished University Professor, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor MI"Mary Jane White's translations reflect her profound commitment to Tsvetaeva. What impresses me most is the consistency and integrity of the poetic voice that emerges from these pages - a voice that echoes Tsvetaeva's tense, resonant Russian but is also entirely, naturally Anglophone."- Boris Dralyuk, co-editor of The Penguin Book of Russian Poetry (Penguin Classics, 2015)"White's remarkable translations have an empathic genius that not only offers Tsvetaeva in English but anticipates a poetry in American English that has not existed before. Tsvetaeva in English translation becomes Tsvetaeva's English poetry. These translations are works of imaginative discovery--of Tsvetaeva's visionary language as it transforms American poetry with an alien intensity." - Tony Brinkley, Professor of English, University of Maine"Marina Tsvetaeva's syntactically condensed, syncopated verse, the 'Russianness' of her cultural allusions, the emotional pitch of her voice and the relative paucity of such shadings in English, present nearly insurmountable difficulties that make her, in my opinion, the most 'untranslatable' of Russian poets. Brodsky valued Tsvetaeva's gift above all others in modern Russian verse. Akhmatova's sense of her adroitness speaks volumes: 'In comparison with Pushkin and Tsvetaeva, I'm just a little cow.' Mary Jane White's life-long engagement with Tsvetaeva and her own remarkable gifts as a poet give this volume genuine depth, breath, and voice." -Alex Cigale, NEA Fellow in Literary Translation, Author of Russian Absurd: Daniil Kharms, Selected WritingsMary Jane White is a poet and translator who practiced law at her home, the O.

"An impressive environmental tale with an engaging heroine from a talented new novelist."NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF 2019 by Kirkus ReviewsWhat We Take for Truth is the story of a young woman who finds her strength when the world around her crumbles. It is a timely tale about shifting loyalties and the painful choices we are forced to make in order to preserve what we value most.At its height, the world of logging in the Pacific Northwest was both brutal and beautiful. When the conservation movement sent protestors into the woods and the government began to place the needs of a small, shy bird above those of families who had lived for generations off the harvest of those woods, the conflicts that erupted were fierce and heartbreaking. What We Take for Truth tells a story that both defends a way of life that is dying and celebrates a landscape that is being lost.

"Set in the beautifully rendered fictional town of Sanctuary on Lake Michigan, The Other Side of Sanctuary is a gripping tale of an ordinary couple facing extraordinary challenges. Through a cast of complex characters caught in a web of romance, jealousy, secrets, and revenge, this story explores the essential questions every person who loves another must ultimately ask: Which sins are forgivable? Which ones are not? And what exactly does it mean to imperfectly love another imperfect human being? The answers will stay with readers long after this story reaches its stunning conclusion." - Jennifer McGaha, author Flat Broke With Two GoatsIn The Other Side of Sanctuary, debut author Cheryl Crabb takes readers on an intimate and sometimes dark journey into the emotions that make up a young couple''s challenging marriage.

"Oreos and a Pack of Marlboro Lights is a collection of true stories, essays, and even a poem, which have only been lightly fictionalized to protect some of my innocent-or should I say guilty muses. The book is intended to entertain, make you laugh, and even make you say a few "oh s...s!" To instigate, to inspire, to think, to challenge, and to deep dive into the psyche. To a few times make you reflect on your own life. The stories span many years and cover a wide variety of subjects including relation-ships, race, religion, and coming of age matters." (Jeffrey Kass)

Raw, honest, confessional. He's a master storyteller." (Geralyn Hesslau Magrady, author of Lines)"Berner's work always captures the essence of what it is to be human." (Larry Richert, KDKA Radio) "Berner writes with vulnerability, humor, and grace." (Scott Whitehair, founder, Chicago's This Much is True.)
