Reading the poetry of Dan Gerber, we are summoned to this larger truth: Though we live in fraught times, on the tipping point of human self-destruction, we and our planet are still very much alive.In one of his last sonnets, nearly five hundred years ago, Michelangelo Buonarroti confronted the paradox of our earthly existence: "Why beauty mixed with terror, feeds so strangely my desire." Reading The End of Michelangelo, we are similarly reminded that the very fact of being alive--experiencing our fleeting, fragile existence--is our only source of joy, our only avenue of consolation. These are poems that wake us up, revivify our desire to go on living despite our times, to counter our times; if poetry has a purpose, it may be exactly this. As T.H. White suggests, we can't save our world if we don't first savor it."Dan Gerber tenderly reels his readers through the 'beautiful movie' he calls the passing of time on Earth, in a language completely unadorned and Zen-like in its quietude. The thing itself carries the weight off these poems that recall the deep imagery of Vallejo, Neruda, and Wright." --Rain Taxi

The comprehensive story of how Chicago became one of the world’s top dining cities, told by the chefs and food professionals who made it happen over the past 50 years.For more than 30 years Chicago has been recognized as one of the most exciting dining cities in the world. Michelin knows this well—for many years, they made Chicago one of only three parts of the U.S. in which they award stars. But the story of how this happened—the story of nationally famed chefs like Rick Bayless, Charlie Trotter, Grant Achatz, Graham Elliot Bowles, Stephanie Izard, and others—has never been told in a comprehensive way.The Chicago Way explores Chicago’s evolution as a dining capital over the past 50-plus years, through an oral history made up of the voices of those who led and participated in that evolution. Readers will learn how the city’s diners (and visitors) grew to love new and more adventurous ways of eating, from hot dogs with foie gras to molecular gastronomy, and how restaurants transformed the city’s culture, creating hot new neighborhoods (and then getting priced out of them) and becoming a driver of economic growth. This is a lively telling of the often wild and crazy restaurant world, charged with the voices of the men and women who helped make Chicago’s food culture what it is today. With a focus on real estate and economics as well as food and creativity, these insider accounts, taken together, tell a story about the influence of Chicago chefs on modern American cuisine that should appeal to everyone interested in food, restaurants, and dining.Michael Gebert, James Beard Award-winning food writer and video producer, has written for decades about hundreds of Chicago food figures of all kinds. He has covered Chicago’s food scene in depth for nearly two decades, and in The Chicago Way, he includes interview contributions from national celebrities such as Top Chef winners Stephanie Izard and Joe Flamm, Alinea chef Grant Achatz, and Michelin-starred chef and author Lane Regan, among scores of other notables. His vast network and deep knowledge are reflected in the array of important chefs and food professionals whose voices are included here, arrayed into a narrative mosaic that brings this fascinating and important story to life.?

On a cold January morning, thirteen-year-old Karl Zimmer awakens to find the public square of his city draped in crimson-colored flags. Hitler has been named Chancellor. Karl doesn't know what this means but he understands danger is in the air. Narrated in the first person, What the Living Remember is the story of Karl's coming of age during the pre-war Nazi period. Karl must navigate adolescence amidst mounting anti-Semitism, his mother's wish to flee the country, and his father's opposition. Ultimately, Karl learns that those who survive trauma and genocide confront the responsibility of remembering those who are gone.
In Burnt Toast, Nancy Gerber searches for the story of her immigrant grandmother, who fled antisemitism in the Ukraine at the age of fifteen, during the early years of the 20th century. The author's grandmother maintained a stalwart silence about the traumas she'd faced: leaving mother and homeland behind, never to return, encountering antisemitism in the new country that was now home, isolation, poverty, and despair. In spite of the grandmother's silences, the author formed a strong bond with this enigmatic woman, whose flashes of humor and tenderness were a source of comfort and inspiration."A heartbreaking remembrance written in powerful, poetic language." - Kirkus Reviews
