Wasps - Social and Solitary;With an Introduction by John Burroughs - Illustrated by James H. Emerton
Written in simple, clear language and profusely illustrated, this vintage book contains a wealth of timeless information pertaining to wasps, with chapters on their habits, habitat, enemies, society, species, uses, and much, much more. "Wasps Social and Solitary" is highly recommended for those with an interest in these fascinating insects, and it would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "Communal Life", "Ammophila and Her Caterpillars", "The Great Golden Digger", "Several Little Wasps", "Crabro", "An Island Settlement", "The Burrowers", "The Wood-Borers", "The Spider-Hunters", "The Enemies of the Grasshopper", "Workers in Clay", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with an introduction by John Burroughs and illustrations by James H. Emerton.

That Kind of Sleep

Susan Atefat Peckham

Coffee House Press
2001
pokkari
This stunning National Poetry Series winner invites readers behind the opaque curtain that has traditionally concealed the lives of modern and traditional Iranian women. Peckham's images alternately whet and sting the senses as rich chador fabrics and earthy cooking scents give way to scenes of women being persecuted and even killed. But it is love for family and culture that give this collection a gentle glow.Susan Atefat Peckham was born in New Jersey to Iranian immigrant parents. This is her first poetry collection.

Autumn House Press

nidottu
A debut collection that draws on the poet’s Iranian heritage to process life-altering loss and grief. Darius Atefat-Peckham’s debut poetry collection follows a boy’s coming of age in the aftermath of a car accident that took the lives of both his mother and brother. Through these poems, Atefat-Peckham constructs a language for grief that is porous and revelatory, spoken assuredly across the imagination, bridging time and space, and creating a reciprocal haunting between the living and the dead. Inspired by the Persian epic The Book of Kings, the Sufi mystic poetry of Rumi, and his mother’s poetry, these poems form a path of connection between the author and his Iranian heritage. Book of Kin interrogates what it means to exist between cultures, to be a survivor of tragedy, to practice love and joy toward one’s beloveds, and to hope for greater connection through poems that wade through time and memory “like so many fish spreading swimming in the green-blue.” Book of Kin won the 2023 Autumn House Poetry Prize.

Deep Are These Distances Between Us

Deep Are These Distances Between Us

Susan Atefat–peckham; Darius Atefat–peckham

CavanKerry Press
2023
nidottu
Poems that imagine Persian and Iranian American lives. In Deep Are These Distances Between Us, Susan Atefat-Peckham troubles preconceptions of nationhood and fixed systems of power by bringing the reader into the Iranian American home, offering glimpses of familial love and intimacy. Atefat-Peckham reaches for a network of care—the foundations of which are located in the ability of these poems to evoke the rich landscape of Iranian American lives. Articulating a spirituality that has no spatial or temporal boundaries, one which travels effortlessly between life and death, this collection is a treatise on the empathy we need now more than ever. An up-and-coming poet who died just four years after winning the National Poetry Series Award in 2000, Susan Atefat-Peckham was deeply concerned by the Islamophobic “Axis of Evil” rhetoric deployed after 9/11 and was skeptical of attempts by the United States to “democratize” the Middle East. Representing the lives of immigrants in the United States and Persians in Iran, as well as the distance that separates their experiences and the love that binds them together, Atefat-Peckham brings an important voice to that conflict—one of the family and the home, where glimpses of intimacy and care rival imperial oppression.
