No Permanent Scars reads how creative nonfiction should read: Like fiction. Like nonfiction. Like memoir. Like humor. Like literature. Like life. It's about childhood, adulthood, the neighborhood and what it means to be a kid, a parent, a teacher, a human. Michael Hemery illuminates an honest working-class existence, offering both the sober realities of class discrimination and the humor and love of family. Intertwined with serious issues such as suicide, alcoholism, abuse, religion, and immigration, Hemery also endures a painfully slow and often naive coming of age (he once mistook an obvious prostitute for an office supply store employee). This is going to be the best book you'll read this year.

Poetry. If you appreciate the writing of Charles Simic you'll enjoy Bruce McRae's 'The So-Called Sonnets'. A gun-slinging sage and humanistic sponge of vernacular sensitivity, his poetry expresses a razor-sharp sadness amid a wasteland of lost souls. Contemporary, and yet unique, he appears to have lived several lifetimes with high octane observation, giving new life to the sonnet form. Another great book from the offices of Silenced Press.

Poetry. A philosophy of architecture conveyed through poetics. Organizing Principle: We begin our lives unconsciously in fully formed homes, abstract the architectural structure from the built environment, and finally move out into the ethical world of the city.

A polyphonic, polyvisual, mini-epic consciousness journey.

Poetry. Asian American Studies. Nominated for the PEN American Center's Beyond Margins Award and the Poetry Society of America's Norma Farber First Book Award. Poetry that knows what you're thinking. "Michael Leong pursues what he calls a 'ludic inarticulacy' throughout the pages of E.S.P., and like all great adventures, the chase is as good as the capture. He's got a wonderful sense of humor, combined with a magician's ease and the biggest wand in three counties. Puns, acronyms, anagrams, plays on words abound, though in the service of some deeper feeling. It's all in what you don't see, but when the shell game's over, you'll be feeling Leong's words stitched on the inside of your pockets"--Kevin Killian.
