Florence is 91 years old. She is dying. Atlantic City is dying too. But both were once vibrantly alive. This is a love story between friends who met in a yoga class. "When our l'affair du coeur started Florence was 87. I was 51. She lived in the city. I lived in the suburbs. She's a black Hebrew; I'm a WASP. We are completely alike. ...] During that first car ride when we started talking about everything--we had hardly scratched the surface of politics, nature, travel, race, spirituality, Atlantic City history, love, sex--we became immediate best friends." This is a love story carried on the wings of amazing songs in an amazing city. Atlantic City's Kentucky Avenue was the music mecca of the 1950s, rivaling Harlem and New Orleans. All of the black entertainers that came through Atlantic City--Sarah Vaughn, Count Basie, Dinah Washington, Nat King Cole, Erroll Garner, Louis Armstrong--drank champagne on Celebrity Row at Chicken Bone Beach and even stayed at Florence's house.
In this extraordinary collection, Ann Fisher-Wirth looks levelly at mortality, grief, and memory, and reckons with what it is to be urgently alive, bringing her incisive nuance to subjects ranging from the loss of a beloved sister to Mississippi's Parchman Penitentiary to our imperiled natural world to the comforts of marital love. In "Wooden Comb," Fisher-Wirth writes, "I cannot reconcile how the world is sweet, how the world is burning." Paradise Is Jagged is too wise a book to promise impossible reconciliation. Instead it offers a benediction of sorts: Walk with me through this difficult and tender place, it says. Willingly, gratefully, we do. -Catherine Pierce, Danger Days, 2021-2025 Mississippi Poet Laureate

A young kangaroo loses his foot in an accident and must learn to get along without it with the help of his family and best friend. With the help of a sweet story, colorful characters, and a touch of humor, Crikey, You Lost Your Foot may help young children deal with limb loss, may teach them it's not the end of the world, and show them they can learn to use a prosthetic limb/s to lead a normal and successful life.
Daphne Harper had just finished her final exams and was looking forward to summer break when she was approached by her university counselor with the fateful words 'There's been an accident." News of her beloved older sister's drowning threatens to tear her world apart, but it soon becomes only the tip of the iceberg of a much greater, far more fantastical upheaval that will lead to her manifesting strange powers, being called by a book that seems to know exactly what she's going through, being chased by a demon and rescued by a merman...
