Marigold and Rose:
A Fiction
by Louise Glück
"In a stunningly imaginative, incisive, sly, and hilarious leap of imagination, poet and Nobel laureate Glück presents her first work of fiction . . . Glück’s breathtakingly disarming double portrait . . . succinctly and provocatively illuminates the vagaries of human consciousness, the bewitchment of language, and the mysterious assertion of the self.” ―Donna Seaman, Booklist

Viral Justice:
How We Grow the World We Want
by Ruha Benjamin
"This is an openhearted, multilayered work that vibrates with ideas on ways to make a new world out of the interlocking crises of COVID-19 and racial capitalism. Progress may be a 'tear-soaked mirage,' as Benjamin writes, yet her book is far from devoid of a sense of humor or hope, full of ways to 'live poetically' while remaking the systems that have failed us." ―New York Magazine

Folk Music:
A Bob Dylan Biography in Seven Songs
by Greil Marcus
“Here is Greil Marcus at his most brilliantly insightful, eloquent, persuasive, brimming with information about Bob Dylan and his music . . . As Dylan ‘sees himself’ in his subjects, so Greil Marcus ‘sees himself’ in Dylan, the most original musical genius of our time, the perfect subject for the most original music critic of our time.” —Joyce Carol Oates
