From the New York Times best-selling author of Brooklyn, Colm Tóibín’s first collection of poetry explores sexuality, religion, and belonging through a modern lens Fans of Colm Tóibín’s novels, including The Magician, The Master, and Nora Webster, will relish the opportunity to re-encounter Tóibín in verse. Vinegar Hill explores the liminal space between private experiences and public events as Tóibín examines a wide range of subjects—politics, queer love, reflections on literary and artistic greats, living through COVID, and facing mortality. The poems reflect a life well-traveled and well-lived; from growing up in the town of Enniscorthy, wandering the streets of Dublin, and crossing the bridges of Venice to visiting the White House, readers will travel through familiar locations and new destinations through Tóibín’s unique lens. Within this rich collection of poems written over the course of several decades, shot through with keen observation, emotion, and humor, Tóibín offers us lines and verses to provoke, ponder, and cherish.

Stephen Varley is back – but so are the witches! Novelist Stephen Varley receives a letter out-of-the-blue from his Great Aunt Amelia, who lives in the atmospheric south-east Essex village of Cannow’s End. Amelia tells Stephen that she has been left a dilapidated old farmhouse in the village in the will of her old friend Winifred Weston. Amelia is too old and frail to clear out and patch up the building on her own, so she asks Stephen and his wife Sophie to help her with the task. Stephen, who is currently living in Northumberland, is reluctant to return to Cannow’s End after a previous encounter with witchcraft there, but Sophie comes from the nearby town of Thamesmouth and she persuades him to go back, so that she can also visit her parents. Unbeknownst to any of them, the old farmhouse holds many secrets and what begins as a job of clearing out the building and carrying out routine repairs soon evolves into a magical adventure involving family history, feuds, witches, smugglers and a few frights and scares along the way!

Book Description
“Identity would seem to be the garment with which one covers the nakedness of the self, in which case, it is best that the garment be loose, a little like the robes of the desert, through which one's nakedness can always be felt, and, sometimes, discerned.” James Arthur Baldwin Cross cultural encounter between first and second generation Asian-American woman and their dilemma of cultural choice between assimilation into main body or safeguarding self culture as an outsider immigrant have always lured a large numbers of Asian-American writers. Although such literary work is still face the debate of whether it is a part of American literature or of outsiders. Maxine Hong Kingston a well known Chinese-American author who has written about the experiences of the Chinese immigrants living in America has shielded her American inheritance as a writer like, “Actually I think that my books are much more American than they are Chinese. I felt that I was building, creating myself and these people as American people… Even though they have strange Chinese memories, they are American people. Also, I am creating part of American literature, and I was aware of doing that, of adding to American literature.” (Paula Rabinowitz, 1987)
