Book Description
A riveting coming of age story of those whose stories are not often told. Lives full of love, disappointments, obstacles, blessings and discoveries. A cautionary tale of street life with the nuance of family love, support and courage. Not all children on the streets are compelled to be there. Some choose the excitement of the street life to escape the loneliness, sadness and boredom that numbs the souls of children that come from “good families”. Growing up Black in America often times, instills a powerlessness in youth. Gabriella, Chance, Lorenzo and Kharisma discover how to reclaim their power in different ways. A journey of healing, love, pain, growth and change that leads to self-empowerment and love. Every soul chooses its own path and along the journey God speaks in us and through us as a Breeze, Storm or Hurricane.

Book Description
In this remarkable debut, which marks the beginning of Multiverse—a literary series written and curated by the neurodivergent¬—Hannah Emerson’s poems keep, dream, bring, please, grownd, sing, kiss, and listen. They move with and within the beautiful nothing (“of buzzing light”) from which, as she elaborates, everything jumps. In language that is both bracingly new and embracingly intimate, Emerson invites us to “dive down to the beautiful muck that helps you get that the world was made from the garbage at the bottom of the universe that was boiling over with joy that wanted to become you you you yes yes yes.” These poems are encounters—animal, vegetal, elemental—that form the markings of an irresistible future. And The Kissing of Kissing makes joyously clear how this future, which can sometimes seem light-years away, is actually as close, as near, as each immersive now. It finds breath in the woods and the words and the worlds we share, together “becoming burst becoming / the waking dream.” With this book, Emerson, a nonspeaking autistic poet, generously invites you, the reader, to meet yourself anew, again, “to bring your beautiful nothing” into the light.

Book Description
Praise for the earlier edition: "Students of modern American literature have for some years turned to Fifteen Modern American Authors (1969) as an indispensable guide to significant scholarship and criticism about twentieth-century American writers. In its new form--Sixteenth Modern American Authors--it will continue to be indispensable. If it is not a desk-book for all Americanists, it is a book to be kept in the forefront of the bibliographical compartment of their brains."--American Studies
