Children of sex and porn addicts need to know that they are not alone in their suffering, that help is available to them, and that families do get better with treatment. These children need to know that they did not cause their parent's addiction, nor can they control it or cure it. In words and pictures, this book conveys this powerful message for children ages 6 to 10. The only children's book of its kind, Junk in the Trunk is aimed at parents, therapists, pediatricians, and other professionals working with children who might be struggling in the wake of this addiction.
"The narrating voice in Living Room is insistent but quiet, though it sometimes achieves loudness without any apparent effort. At other times it seems to continue in the -reader's mind even after stopping for the day. It is an important new presence, faintly disturbing and endlessly attractive."--John AshberyReaders may be voyeurs, but the subtler gifts are not for the fast glancers. Take a good slow second look at Geoff Bouvier's Living Room . . . bravura performances, both accessible and elegant, both immediate and subtle, both hilarious and serious. . . . With virtuoso reversals, switches of vantage, changes of scale, inside-outings, they accomplish metaphysical, not only physical, effects.--from the introduction by Heather McHughEach of Geoff Bouvier's prose poems brims with industry and restless attention, and the dramas they contain are manifold. Here a solitary mind and there a whole social sphere are cross-sectioned for observation at moments rife with emotional collisions--awesome tediums, mad reliefs. In style and substance, Living Room enacts the urgency one feels to stretch out against cramped quarters. Introduced by Heather McHugh.From Savings PlanTo save things, collect them in an unremarkable place--behind a row of history books, in the corner of the garage--where you wouldn't usually look. Then forget about these things completely. When you remember what you're saving--a photograph of an ex, the fattening candy bars--but forget where you're saving it, you may worry, even curse yourself. But remember how this is your plan, and how the plan is succeeding. The savings are protected, hidden away, even if you can't find them until many days after a rainy day.Geoff Bouvier holds degrees from the University of Connecticut and from Bard College. He lives in San Diego, where he waits tables at Tapenade Restaurant and publishes journalistic prose with the San Diego Reader.

"I wish there were more books like this one, I really do. It was painful to read in the same way that flipping through an old yearbook is painful." David Peak, The RumpusBirch Hills at World's End begins between Detroit and nowhere, in 1999, when high school senior Josh Reilly senses an apocalypse approaching. Josh's unease increases as his privileged but disturbed friend Erik schemes in a journal he calls "The Doomsday Book," where he plots revenge against the suburbia he's learned to despise. When Lindsay, a sixteen-year-old famed for dramatic self-mutilation and questionable poetry, becomes Josh's girlfriend, Erik finds companionship in a circle of bikers and small-time meth traffickers. Josh, suspecting his friend Erik has become a competitor for Lindsay's affections, peeks into the Doomsday Book and is shocked by what he learns. A web of domestic strife, romantic rivalry, and millennial anxiety challenges two boys to stand together as their youth comes apart.Columbine...

Hyatt handles the important themes of alienation, young love, friendship and family with scrupulous honesty, which is why we care about his characters so deeply by the end. He perfectly captures the heartbreak and hilarity of adolescence, artfully detailing the ugliness and confusion as well as the epiphinal moments of grace. It's a great book by an exciting new author."- Don De Grazia, author of American Skin"Geoff Hyatt is the real deal, and Birch Hills at World's End is proof that you're in the hands of a major talent. Hyatt is that rare author in contemporary fiction - a visionary - brilliantly meshing the apocalyptic with the absurd, and bringing to mind the best of Denis Johnson: searing prose that makes you laugh one moment and cringe the next. Birch Hills isn't John Updike's suburb, with its afternoon cocktails and key parties. No, Birch Hills is our very own suburb, and Geoff Hyatt has lifted the rock for all to see."
