Book Description
From an Aurora Award-winning author comes a thrilling young-adult outer-space adventure. When the old woman who raised him in a remote village is murdered, Kriss Lemarc finds himself alone on a planet where he'll always be an outsider. His only link to his long-dead, unknown parents is the touchlyre they bequeathed him, a strange instrument that not only plays music but pours his innermost feelings into the minds of his listeners. When Tevera, a girl of the space-going, nomadic Family, hears Kriss perform, she is drawn to him against her better judgment and the rules of her people. With her help, though mistrusted and even hated by some of her comrades, Kriss seeks to discover the origin of the touchlyre, the fate of his parents, and a place where he truly belongs. But the touchlyre proves to be more than just a musical oddity. Powerful, ruthless people will stop at nothing to get it-and Kriss and Tevera are all that stand in their way.

Book Description
Arda Collins's second book of poems, STAR LAKE, is a deeply personal collection that explores the ways our notions of daily life touch the presence of the eternal. With memory as the backdrop of many poems, including the loss of the poet's parents and her experience growing up in a family of survivors from the Armenian genocide, Collins often overlays images of landscapes, weather, and domestic interiors with a tone of melancholy--"Who is the water and who is the light? / A shiver, a love, one you miss, and a wish." But STAR LAKE is also a collection of love poems, poems about the creation of new memories with family, tracing out imaginative shapes for their futures. In this Yale Younger Poets award winner's second collection of poems, Collins returns with truly unforgettable poems that haunt and comfort. "In spare, riveting lines, Arda Collins's new poems enact a torque between immediacy and distance, between a visceral near--"An orange in the dark / is like lake air at night," and a resplendent far--"Down the boulevard ... Versailles is everywhere." Against the shadows of Armenian genocide and family deaths, the speaker's calls to "come in the window" or "come to time" are less commands than invocations and the ground for stunning evocations. This is a book of wonders."--Arthur Sze "More than just a book, STAR LAKE is a tactile experience. A touchable journey wherein each stanza, each image comes to life before a reader. When the wind is summoned in the poem, a breeze blows in through a window you didn't even know you had open. All to say that this is a book of immense brilliance and immense possibility. Beckoning with new revelations around each corner."--Hanif Abdurraqib Poetry.

Book Description
A charmingly offbeat potty-training book. Simple rhymes offer gentle reminders to Little Star about where not to tinkle: not in the car, not on a train, not on a plane. Not in a sandbox, not on a slide — and certainly not on Grandpa’s knee! Then, of course, the golden rule: never tinkle in the pool! While trying so hard not to have an accident, Little Star’s distress is mounting. Until, finally, relief arrives: the potty. “Good for you! You’ve come so far … Now tinkle, tinkle, Little Star.” Toddlers (and their parents!) will have such an urge to giggle, they won’t be able to hold it in!

Book Description
Within these pages lie eighteen stories, from eighteen worlds shaped by some of today’s best writers of science fiction and fantasy, all guests on the Aurora Award-winning podcast The Worldshapers during its first year. Some are international bestsellers. Among them are winners and nominees for the Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy, Aurora, Sunburst, Aurealis, Ditmar, British Science Fiction Association, and Dragon Awards. Some have been writing for decades, others are at the beginning of their careers. All have honed their craft to razor-sharpness. A teenage girl finds something strange in the middle of the Canadian prairie. An exobiologist tries to liberate a giant alien enslaved on its homeworld by humans. The music of the spheres becomes literal for an Earth ship far from home. A superhero league interviews for new members. Strangers share a drink on a world where giant starships fall. Two boys, one a werewolf, one a mage, get more than they bargained for when they volunteer to fight an evil Empire. A man with amnesia accepts a most unusual offer. A young woman finds unexpected allies as she tries to win a flying-machine race in steampunk London . . . Ranging from boisterous to bleak, from humorous to harrowing, from action-filled to quiet and meditative; taking place in alternate pasts, the present day, the far, far future, and times that never were; set on Earth, in the distant reaches of space, in fantasy worlds, and in metaphysical realms, each of these stories is as unique as its creator. And yet, they all showcase one thing: the irrepressible need of human beings to create, to imagine, to tell stories. To shape worlds.
