    Big Time is not just a novel; it's a mirror to the distorted reality of modern American college campuses. Coors State University, once a beacon of academia, now shadows under the immense weight of sports fanaticism and corporate takeover. The campus has been sold piece by piece to a beer company, turning professors into stadium workers and scholars into bystanders in their own institution. Amidst this chaos rises an unlikely hero, Layla Sillimon, a 38-year-old poet plunged into a world where sports eclipse education.Layla's arrival at Coors State marks the beginning of an extraordinary journey. Her path crosses with two history professors whose ideals echo the spirit of the 1960s campus protests. As the trio embarks on a mission to reclaim their university from the jaws of commercialized sports, they enlist the help of two football stars, opening the doors to unexpected alliances and outcomes. Their fight against the establishment leads to a series of events that are as unpredictable as they are enlightening. Big Time is not just a story; it's a wake-up call, a testament to the power of conviction, and a tribute to those who dare to challenge the status quo. This is a story that will resonate long after the final page is turned.

    In language wild and restrained, opulent and precise, these sonnets make something lasting, even beautiful, from tragedy--personal and national.Diane Raptosh's collection of sonnets, I Eric America, combines elements of family trauma (her brother Eric's survival of a plane crash and subsequent paraplegia) with disturbances on the national stage. Equal parts origin story, myth, and song, the book unfolds from the premise that "America is the nation-expression of / a severely traumatized person." Throughout their singing, the poems seek to heal, transmute and transform.

    "One of the best books I've read in many, many years, if not in my life."--Anderson Cooper Featured on MSNBC's Morning Joe What does a mother say to the person responsible for kidnapping, torturing, and murdering her son? National Book Award-winning author Colum McCann channels Diane Foley's voice as she tells her story, as the mother of American journalist Jim Foley - in search of answers, beyond justice, found through dogged, empathetic, spiritual enquiry. In late 2021, Diane Foley sat at a table across from her son's killer, Alexanda Kotey, a member of the ISIS group known as "The Beatles" who plead guilty to the kidnapping, torture, and murder of her son seven years before. Kotey was about to go serve life imprisonment and this was Diane's chance to talk to the man who had been involved with brutally taking her son's last breath. What would she say to his killer? What would he reveal to her? Might she even be able to summon forgiveness for him? So begins American Mother-- which reads alternately like a thriller, a biography, a mystery, a memoir, and a literary examination of grace. Diane looks back on the early days when Jim was a child and his journey to journalism, and the killing fields of the world where he reports with indefatigable determination and insight on the plight of those caught up in the agonies of war. She guides us through her family history and the difficulties they faced when Jim was captured. And she also charts the tenacity it takes to turn her grief into grace as she seeks to give voice to those who are still being kidnapped and wrongfully detained around the world. Few journeys are more worthy than this and, in this astonishing book, we are all invited to celebrate the lives of those who are never, in the end, gone.

    "UNTIL WE TALK is a set of jazz-inflected ghazals tied to epigraphs from Colum McCann's novel APEIROGON and illuminated with Bill Gingles's abstract expressionist paintings. Predominately rooted in the tragic losses in contemporary Israeli and Palestinian families, the poems braid those losses into parallel losses in geopolitical race, ethnic, class, and caste conflicts"--
