In Mix-Mix, Dani Putney excavates facets of their mixed-race heritage using reformulated text from the "Asian Romance Guide to Marriage by Correspondence" to consider their relationships with their Filipina mother and late white father, problematizing—but also attempting to understand—the circumstances that led to their parents' marriage across two continents via mail correspondence. In addition, the collection puts queerness and non-binary identity into conversation with heritage, invocations of pop-culture icons, reflections on the speaker's daddy issues, and general explorations of queer sexuality. In Mix-Mix Putney seems to ask, "Why were we born? How do we live with the circumstances of our birth, both historically and culturally?"

Relentless, urgent and above all musical, Russell Persson's expertly crafted The Way of Florida recasts the tragic story of the failed Narváez expedition, which has trickled down through the centuries via La Relación, the official report published in 1542, as well as many other subsequent retellings. A calamitous attempt to establish Spanish colonies along the Gulf Coast, of the 300 crew sent inland to explore, only four survived this eight-year ordeal. In bracing, beautiful language this timely narrative of botched colonialism, now in its first American Edition, radically reimagines the parameters and responsibilities of the historical novel. Linguistically rich, sinuous, and maybe even heroic, The Way of Florida offers historical fiction like you have never read it before.

Timely and introspective, Catherine Gammon’s The Gunman and the Carnival is the meeting of contemporary voices and visions that offer not relatability, but an intimate encounter open to strangeness and its embrace. The stories in the inimitable Catherine Gammon’s The Gunman and the Carnival — loosely linked and set in Los Angeles, California — center on women of various ages and backgrounds. Constructed around themes of solitude and connection, creation and destruction, love and loss, these sixteen stories unfold in a world haunted by individual and collective violence, systemic injustice, pandemic, and environmental duress: not with genre sensibilities of the dystopic or apocalyptic, but with compassion and wisdom that renders a staid, meditative examination of our contemporary challenges. The Gunman and the Carnival does not aspire to be a panorama or to portray the city (or the nation) in its extraordinary complexity. Rather it shines a roving light into the minds and hearts of an idiosyncratic handful of characters living in our difficult times and invites each one to sing. Some of the stories are realist, some oblique and fragmented, others metafictional or surreal, and the urban / suburban landscapes are accented by the occasional appearance of wildlife and the presence (and voices) of trees. Handled with grace and intelligence, these stories chronicle contemporary struggles: the violence and the joy examined in equal measure.

Illustrations and simple text offer an ode to the treasures we find and keep in our pockets and the memories they hold.
