House of Fossils
In House of Fossils, Marilene Phipps follows Unseen Worlds with a poetic, genre-bending fictional memoir. Narrated by Io—an alter-soul seeking beauty and timelessness—this immigrant story confronts how race, skin color, culture, and others’ reactions can imprison identity. Moving between Haiti and the wider world, it explores Haiti’s color-and-class hierarchies, Christianity–Vodou spirituality, and turbulent politics alongside an America undergoing multicultural transformation. Phipps crafts vivid characters and high emotional intensity in a quest to live beyond inherited ‘fossils.’

House of Large Sizes
House of Large Sizes is a sharply original, genre-bending novel about a dysfunctional, sexually compulsive family pushed to the brink when one member flees to New Orleans for an unsanctioned sex change.

Humming the Blues / Cantando los Blues (a boca cerrada)
English
A usurper has attacked the temples of Ur and Uruk and the priestly poet Enheduanna prays for help from Inanna, the god who has disappeared into the Land of No Return. “If you were here, Inanna, you’d surround that big man in the sky,” Enheduanna cries. This collection of poems is a jazz poetry rendition of ancient Iraqi pictographs pressed into clay thousands of years ago by Enheduanna, the first person in history—female or male—to sign her own text.
Spanish
Un usurpador ha atacado los templos de Ur y Uruk, y la poeta sacerdotal Enheduanna ora por la ayuda de Inanna, la deidad que ha desaparecido en la Tierra sin Retorno. Enheduana suplica: “Si estuvieras aquí Inanna, rodearías a ese hombre grande en el cielo”. Esta colección de poemas es una versión poética al estilo del jazz de pictografías iraquíes antiguas estampadas en arcilla por Enheduana hace miles de años. Históricamente, fue la primera persona—hombre o mujer—que firmó su propio texto escrito.

In the Cobwebs of My Mind
Inspired by an essay written in early recovery after Megan Bacigalupo survived a spontaneous ruptured brain hemorrhage, In the Cobwebs of My Mind becomes a vivid, theatrical, avant-garde healing journey. Teetering between ghost-dancing hallucinations and the daily rituals of hospital life—staff, family, friends—it offers a poetic, imaginative ride through two worlds, rich with possibility and hard-won hope.
That this eclectic soul was able to remember the juxtaposed visions and hallucinations is our gift.

Inter/views
These poems boldly appropriate lines from interviews with famous and infamous artists, musicians, writers, filmmakers and architects, and with these found lines construct small literary objects with something new to say. The pattern of intense repetition creates an incantation in which shifts in meaning occur as the repeated lines are slightly revised and given a new context. The sampled lines reverberate between stanzas, creating echoes that slow us down, providing startling sonic views.
The reader is likely to be fairly well impressed at first.

Israeli and Palestinian Voices
After her award-winning memoir A Beirut Heart, Cathy Sultan continues her quest to illuminate the Middle East in Israeli and Palestinian Voices: A Dialogue with Both Sides. Part adventure, part history, and part travelogue, the book features firsthand interviews Sultan conducted in tense, sometimes dangerous settings. Her cinematic escape from Ramallah into East Jerusalem ahead of a military assault is unforgettable. Through poignant—and at times frightening—voices of ordinary people, Sultan seeks pathways toward peace in a region gripped by obduracy and fanaticism.

James Madison’s Religion
James Madison’s Religion reveals how Madison’s private convictions shaped America’s public liberty. Drawing on letters, debates, and overlooked manuscripts, it traces his journey from Anglican Virginia and Presbyterian schooling through Enlightenment influence to the Constitutional Convention, showing how his conscience-first philosophy became the blueprint for the First Amendment. Madison saw pluralism as strength and state control of religion as a path to oppression. Blending biography, intellectual history, and political analysis, the book explores his debates with Jefferson and Hamilton, why the amendment’s wording mattered, and how his “theology of liberty” still informs today’s fights over belief, speech, and the public square.
