Book Description
James Laughlin has been called the American Catullus. Like that most Greek of ancient Latin poets, he elevates his everyday subjects with wit and clarity of language. Love and hate, death and aging, politics, literature, travel, the horrors of war - Laughlin's muse speaks of all these things with a fresh directness that makes his poems both timeless and contemporary. The founder of New Directions, Laughlin's efforts as publisher and poet have been to prolong and extend the old poetic traditions. Poetry for him is, in Gertrude Stein's phrase, a "continuous present" in all times and cultures. Laughlin developed his distinctive tight metrics with the advice of William Carlos Williams. A longer, comical line is found in the recent poems of Laughlin's doppelganger, Hiram Handspring. The Man in the Wall follows Laughlin's recent Collected Poems (Moyer Bell Limited).

Book Description
The excellent Monsieur Dutilleul has always been able to pass through walls, but has never seen the point of using his gift, given the general availability of doors. One day, however, his tyrannical boss drives him to desperate, creative measures — he develops a taste for intramural travel and becomes something of a super-villain. How will the unassuming clerk adjust to a glamorous life of crime? Aymé’s genius lies in imagining the practical unfolding of bizarre and difficult situations. In each story, anarchic comedy is arrested by moments of pathos, only to descend into anarchy and hilarity once more ...

The nurse who has been taking care of her explains that she has amnesia from an accident that she also can’t remember. When the woman falls asleep, her mind keeps trying to regain her memory by providing little glimpses into her past. But are her dreams real or just her imagination? She dreams of a man in a dark suit, and finds herself becoming more fearful of him with each dream. After waking up, she sees the man in the dark suit standing by the door of her hospital room, and he quickly disappears. Was he real or just a figment of her imagination?

Book Description
With The Man in the Tree, Locus Award-winning author Sage Walker has given us a thrilling hard science fiction mystery that explores the intersection of law, justice, and human nature. Humanity’s last hope of survival lies in space...but will we even get there? Helt Borresen is an Incident Analyst. What that means is that aboard the seed ship Kybele, he is the closest thing that the organization has to a security officer. But he doesn’t think that it’ll be a big part of his job, as all the candidates have been carefully screened. Why the need for a seed ship? Because our planet is toast and the colonists that leave our world are the best shot that we have for our species to continue. Everything is set...and then someone is found hanging dead just weeks before the launch. Fear and paranoia spread as the death begins to look more and more like a murder. The authorities want the case settled quickly and quietly so as not to cause panic. And Helt is the one to prevent a murderer from sabotaging the entire mission. “Rapid-fire storytelling from start to finish!”—Greg Bear At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Book Description
The unit was operating at it's highest falsity, seemingly staring at the obvious; forgetting that they too must be absolutely positive that what they were seeing wasn't a mirage. They were trained to stay focused, but their sights had been altered; their perception, distorted; their thoughts, clouded; their reasoning; mislead. Enemies were changing the game; the sacred playing field of honesty and loyalty had been defiled. Things were not so clearly displayed anymore; now it was too late to alter the unenviable; because at this instant they understood, all along they had been, "Tied to Deception."
