Corazón is a love story. It is about the constant hunger for love. It is about feeding that hunger with another person and finding that sometimes it isn't enough. Salgado creates a world in which the heart can live anywhere; her fat brown body, her parents home country, a lover, a toothbrush, a mango, or a song. It is a celebration of heartache, of how it can ruin us, but most importantly how we always survive it and return to ourselves whole.

No One Thing is the Root of All AnythingPhases and Performance of the Imminent$15.00 - $20.00by Chelsea CoonChelsea Coon's first publication No One Thing is the Root of All Anything: Phases and Performance of the Imminent describes the artist's methodological approaches in the spatial practice of performance. She examines the body as a site for potential, and asserts the probability for it to be as expansive as the universe itself. The text examines the intersection of concepts within performance and astronomy that speak of bodies in and of spaces. She establishes performance to be an expansive form of research methodology, and astronomy as a lens through which we can begin to understand our irrefutably interconnected relationship to the universe. The subtle and monumental phases of birth and death of the body mirrors that of the processes of cosmological manifestations, such as stars. Objects in the furthest corners of space can contain fragments of what is also inside life forms. This text discusses personal and expansive spaces, examines probability, scale, and duration. It affirms that the end is another place from which to start.

In Case of Death is a companion through obliteration. McGackin's second collection of poems explores the spectrum of death, grief, and continuation despite the many things that can, and will, kill us.

Microscopes swivel and flowers spread as the poet wrestles with a spectrum of growing pains. These coming-of-age poems draw inspiration equally from science textbooks and fairy tales. As the final poem prays, "I will see the moon and morning and know". Branches explores what it means to live to the next day, and the next, before we fully understand what we are surviving.

Tesoro is a story of family, survival, and the formative power of the women in Salgado's life. It is a telling of the balance between love and perseverance. Tesoro is an unearthing of the sacred connections that make a person whole; the treasure we forever keep with us when we learn from those we love, when we mourn those we've lost, and what grows in between.
