The Glass Eye is Jeannie’s struggle to honor her fa-ther, her larger-than-life hero but also the man

who named her after his daughter from a previous marriage, a daughter who died.

After his funeral, Jeannie spends the next decade in escalating mania, in and out of hospitals—increas-ingly obsessed with the other Jeanne. Obsession turns to investigation as Jeannie plumbs her childhood awareness of her dead half sibling and hunts for clues into the mysterious circumstances of her death. It becomes a puzzle Jeannie feels she must solve to bet-ter understand herself and her father.

Jeannie Vanasco pulls us into her unraveling with such intimacy that her insanity becomes palpable, even logical. A brilliant exploration of the human psyche, The Glass Eye deepens our definitions of love, sanity, grief, and recovery.

“Wise, brave and beautifully wrought, The Glass Eye signals the arrival of an

exceptionally fine new voice.”

—ALE X ANDRA ST YRON , author of Reading My Father

“In The Glass Eye, Jeannie Vanasco shows us why rules should be broken: because an elegy that pulses with immediacy, a

fragment that is inextricable from a whole, a book that comments on its own writing can smash what you think you know into

pieces, and expose a piece of truth so bright it might be your own broken

heart, handed back to you.”

—MELISSA FEBOS , author of Whip Smart and Abandon Me

“Jeannie Vanasco’s The Glass Eye is memoir as it ought to be, but so rarely is: beautiful and painfully raw, but also

restrained and lyrical. Vanasco is brilliant, and this book proves it.”

—DARIN STRAUSS , author of Half a Life

A novel of glut and hunger, Noley Reid’s Pretend We

Are Lovely details a summer in the life of the Sobel family in 1980s Blacksburg, Virginia, seven years after the tragic and suspicious death of a son and sibling.

Francie Sobel dresses in tennis skirts and ankle socks and weighs her grams of allotted carrots and iceberg lettuce. Semi-estranged husband Tate pre-fers a packed fridge and secret doughnuts. Daugh-ters Enid, ten, and Viv, thirteen, are subtler versions of their parents, measuring their summer vacation by meals had or meals skipped. But at summer’s end, secrets both old and new come to the surface and Francie disappears leaving the family teetering on the brink.

Abandoned and uncalibrated without their mother’s regimental love and witnessing their father flounder in his new position of authority, the girls must navigate their way through middle school, find comfort in each other, and learn the difference between food and nourishment.

“Reid transforms the story of a mentally ill mother setting off the implosion of a tight-

knit nuclear family into a sharp-edged portrait of the ways in which each member

of the family is shaped by the others, with no villains, only victims. . . . A tense, vivid, and sharp novel that captures the

complex relationships between the Sobel family members, particularly particularly

between sisters Vivvy and Enid.”

—Publishers Weekly

“In Reid’s debut novel, a family must navigate the secret currents of guilt,

obsession, loss, and—most dangerous of all—hope in this pitch-perfect

examination of two Southern seasons in 1982. . . . In prose that ambulates

between stark, hallucinatory, fuddled, and chewy according to the guiding

character’s point of view, Reid masterfully denies her novel the impulse to solve its

characters’ problems.”

DAVID STEIN, NICHOLE GRAF, and MICAH SHERMAN are owners of Raven, a recreational cannabis company in Washington state that prides itself on producing environmentally and socially responsible organic cannabis and cannabis-infused products, and guaranteeing good vibes. LIZ CRAIN is the author of Toro Bravo: Stories. Recipes. No Bull and A Food Lover’s Guide to Portland.

Grow Your Ownby NICHOLE GRAF, MIC AH SHE RMAN,

DAVID STEI N, & LIZ CRAI N

NON F ICTION

As prohibition wanes, and cannabis afi cionados of all stripes come out from the shadows, the

old stereotypes are fading. The benefi ts of cannabis are undeniable—medicinally, sure, but also for stress, for creativity, and for relaxation. And as any home-brewer, winemaker, or backyard gardener can tell you, there’s a particular joy in doing it yourself.

Whether you’re new to cannabis and need to walk through the basics, or you’re an experienced grower looking to hone your techniques, Grow Your

Own provides all the background and instruction you need to set up a grow space, raise your plants, and harvest your buds. It will teach you how to choose a strain based on its fl avors and effects, how to manage insects and molds without the use of pesticides, and how to mix just the right soil. But Grow Your Own will also give you a primer on the myriad ways to enjoy cannabis—from carving an apple pipe to punching up your favorite brownie recipe. With photography, visual aids, and illustrations from Allen Crawford (Whitman Illuminated), Grow Your Own makes cultivating cannabis as accessible as it is rewarding.

Everything a home-grower needs to understand, cultivate,

and enjoy cannabis.

f rom G ROW YOU R OWN

The relationship between humans and cannabis has been symbiotic, if not always easy. We’ve helped cannabis make its way across the globe, and have aided it in adapting to widely disparate environments. We’ve transported, bred, cultivated, and consumed it. In turn, cannabis has gifted us with its rich resins and fi brous plant matter. We’ve used it in medicine. We’ve used it for cloth and rope. We’ve used it religiously, ceremoniously, nutritionally, and—last but not least—we’ve enjoyed it recreationally.

Nature Poemby TOMMY PICO

POETRY

Nature Poem follows Teebs—a young, queer, American Indian (or NDN) poet—who

can’t bring himself to write a nature poem. For the reservation-born, urban-dwelling hipster, the ex-ercise feels stereotypical, reductive, and boring. He hates nature. He prefers city lights to the night sky. He’d slap a tree across the face. He’d rather write a mountain of hashtag punchlines about death and give head in a pizza-parlor bathroom; he’d rather write odes to Aretha Franklin and Hole. While he’s adamant—bratty, even—about his distaste for the word “natural,” over the course of the book we see him confronting the assimilationist, historical, colonial-white ideas that collude NDN people with nature. The closer his people were identified with the “natural world,” he figures, the easier it was to mow them down like the underbrush. But Teebs gradually learns how to interpret constellations through his own lens, along with human nature, sexuality, language, music, and Twitter. Even while he reckons with manifest destiny and genocide and centuries of disenfranchisement, he learns how to have faith in his own voice.

A book-length poem about how an American Indian writer can’t bring himself

to write about nature, but is forced to reckon with colonial-white stereotypes,

manifest destiny, and his own identity as an young, queer, urban-dwelling poet.

TOMMY “TEEBS” PICO is the author of IRL (Birds LLC, 2016), Junk (forthcoming from Tin House Books) and the zine series Hey, Teebs. He was the founder and editor in chief of birdsong, an antiracist/queer-positive collective, small press,

and zine that published art and writing from 2008–2013. He was a Queer/Art/Mentors inaugural fellow, 2013 Lamb-da Literary fellow in poetry, and a 2016 Tin House summer poetry scholar. Originally from the Viejas Indian reserva-tion of the Kumeyaay nation, he now lives in Brooklyn where he co-curates the reading series Poets With Attitude (PWA) with Morgan Parker, co-hosts the podcast Food 4 Thot, and is a contributing editor at Literary Hub.

@heyteebs

“Pico centers his second book-length poem on the trap of conforming to identity stereotypes as he ponders his reluctance

to write about nature as a Native American . . . In making the subliminal

overt, Pico reclaims power by calling out microaggressions and drawing attention to

himself in the face of oppression.”

—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

The third book in Tommy Pico’s Teebs trilogy, Junk is a breakup poem in couplets: ice floe and hot

lava, a tribute to Janet Jackson and nacho cheese. In the static that follows the loss of a job or an apart-ment or a boyfriend, what can you grab onto for orientation? The narrator wonders what happens to the sense of self when the illusion of security has been stripped away. And for an indigenous person, how do these lost markers of identity echo larger cultural losses and erasures in a changing political landscape? In part taking its cue from A.R. Ammons’s Garbage, Teebs names this liminal space “Junk,” in the sense that a junk shop is full of old things waiting for their next use; different items that collectively become indistinct. But can there be a comfort outside the anxiety of utility? An appreciation of “being” for the sake of being? And will there be Chili Cheese Fritos?

MO R E PRAIS E FO R

NATU R E POE M

“A thrilling punk rock epic that is a tour of all we know and can’t admit to. Pico is a poet of canny instincts, his lyric is somehow so casual and so so serious

at the same time. He is determined to blow your mind apart, and . . . you

should let him.”

—ALE X ANDER CHEE

“Mix of hey that’s poetry (uncanny resistance) with hey that’s a text and

smashing goals & fulfilling them along the way & saying my parents fulfilled

them. Doing it differently being alive & an artist. I love this work. Unpredictable &

sweet & strong to continue.”

—EILEEN MYLES

“The self-conscious labor of this poem explores a culture of asides, stutters, stammers, and media glitches. It’s no wonder Tommy Pico manages to name and claim identity while also reminding

us of his (and our!) limitlessness. Nature Poem is a book about our true nature.”

—JERICHO BROWN

WILLIAM WALLACE COOK was born in Marshall, Michi-gan, in 1867. He was the author of a memoir, The Fiction Factory, as well as dozens of Westerns and science-fiction novels, many of which were adapted into films. He was nicknamed “the man who deforested Canada” for the volume of stories he fed into the pulp-magazine mill. He spent five years composing Plotto before finally publishing it in 1928. Cook died in his hometown of Marshall in 1933.

PAUL COLLINS is a writer specializing in history, memoir, and unusual antiquarian literature. His nine books have been translated into eleven languages, and include Sixpence House: Lost in a Town of Books (2003) and The Murder of the Century: The Gilded Age Crime That Scandalized a City & Sparked the Tabloid Wars (2011). Collins lives in Oregon, where he is Chair and professor of English at Portland State University.

“For the edification of novelists everywhere.”

—N PR

“Artful and hilarious.”

—Brain Pickings

In the 1920s, dime store novelist William Wal-lace Cook painstakingly diagramed and cataloged

his personal writing method—“Purpose, opposed by Obstacle, yields Conflict”—for the instruction and illumination of his fellow authors. His effort resulted in an astonishing 1,462 plot scenarios, and Plotto: The Master Book of All Plots was born. A how-to manual for plot, hailed by the Boston Globe as “First aid to troubled riters,” Plotto influenced Erle Stan-ley Gardner, author of the Perry Mason books, and a young Alfred Hitchcock.

At first glance, Plotto operates with a machinelike logic, but from its endless amalgamations writers will find inspiration for narratives with limitless possibil-ity. Open the book to any page to find plots you may never have known existed—from morose cannibals to gun-wielding preachers to phantom automobiles.

Equal parts reference guide and historical odd-ity, Plotto is sure to amaze and delight writers for another hundred years.

How to Do Nothing with Nobody All Alone by Yourself remains timeless. Toys are louder and brighter

now—and a good deal safer than Smith’s old games of mumbly-peg—but kids still do nothing the same way. They pick up the random and discarded object of adult life, or the natural debris that no one with a job or a schedule or things to do even notices anyway. Kids will find this stuff, examine it, flip it upside down, throw it, break it, and simply stare at it. Kids will do nothing with nobody all alone by themselves. And you get a sense, after Smith’s magisterial sympo-sium on making helicopters out of rubber bands and chicken bones, that there is something more at stake in all this.

DANA CANN was born in Santa Barbara, California, and raised in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC, where he currently lives with his wife and their two teenage children. His short stories have been published in The Sun,

The Massachusetts Review, The Gettysburg Review, Fifth Wednesday Journal, The Florida Review, and Blackbird, among other journals.

He works in corporate restructuring and finance, and teaches fiction workshops at The Writer’s Center in Bethesda, Maryland. Ghosts of Bergen County is his first novel.

“Ghosts of Bergen County is a tough, compassionate book by a writer with

a keen sense of what makes us human, and what makes us, at times, wish

we weren’t. As a novel, it’s excellent; as a meditation on grief, it’s

stunningly perceptive.”

G il Ferko is a private-equity lieutenant who com-mutes to Manhattan from the New Jersey sub-

urbs. His wife, Mary Beth, has become a shut-in since a hit-and-run accident killed their infant daughter. When Ferko reconnects with Jen Yoder, a former high school classmate, Jen introduces him to heroin. As his dependency on the drug grows, his downward spiral puts his life in danger and his career in jeop-ardy. Mary Beth has also found an escape—first in prescription drugs that numb her senses, then in the companionship of a mysterious girl who heightens them. A ghost? Mary Beth believes so. And Jen is also haunted. Years ago she witnessed a man she had just met fall from a rooftop. She walked away from the accident and has been haunted since by the question of why she did so. As her quest to rectify that mistake starts to collide with the mystery of the hit-and-run driver who killed Ferko and Mary Beth’s daughter, all of the characters are forced to face the fine line between fate and happenstance. Dana Cann’s debut novel is a tautly paced and intricately plotted story in which collective burdens manifest into hauntings.

SARA JAFFE’s short fiction and criticism have appeared in publications including Fence, BOMB, NOON, Paul Revere’s Horse, matchbook, and The Los Angeles Review of Books. She co-edited The Art of Tour-ing (Yeti, 2009), an anthology

of writing and visual art by musicians drawing on her experience as guitarist for post-punk band Erase Errata.

It’s 1992, and the world is caught up in the HIV/AIDS epidemic and the Balkan Wars, but for Jul-

ie Winter, 15, the news is noise. In Portland, Oregon, Julie moves through her days in a series of negatives: the skaters she doesn’t think are cute, the trinkets she doesn’t buy at the craft fair, the umbrella she re-fuses to carry despite the incessant rain. Her family life is routine and restrained, and no one talks about Julie’s older brother, a one-time Olympic-hopeful swimmer who now lives in self-imposed exile in Berlin. Julie has never considered swimming herself, until Alexis, the girls’ swim team captain, tries to recruit her. It’s a dare, and a flirtation—and a chance for Julie to find her brother, or to finally let him go. Anything could happen when her body hits water.

JOHN BENDITT has had a distinguished career as a science journalist. As an undergraduate at Swarthmore he was awarded the John Russell Hayes Poetry Prize by Robert Creeley and studied with Adrienne Rich. Over time

the emphasis of his writing has shifted from poetry to prose-poetry and finally to fiction. The Boatmaker is his debut novel.

In John Benditt’s debut novel, a fierce, complicated, silent man wakes from a fever dream compelled

to build a boat and sail away from the small island where he was born. The boat carries him to the next, bigger, island, where he becomes locked in a drunken and violent affair whose explosion propels him all the way to the mainland. There he struggles to under-stand the intricacies of a larger society and its dark underworld. As he encounters greed, corruption, and racial and religious hatred, he uncovers truths that allow him to redirect the course of his destiny. The boatmaker’s journey cannot be traced on any map, and yet it is located at the epicenter of European history.

ALLEN CRAWFORD is an il-lustrator, designer, and writer. He and his wife Susan are proprietors of the design/il-lustration studio Plankton Art Co. Their most notable project to date is the collection of 400 species identification il-

lustrations that are on permanent display at the American Museum of Natural History’s Milstein Hall of Ocean Life. Under his pseudonym, Lord Breaulove Swells Whimsy, he wrote, designed, and illustrated The Affected Provincial’s Companion, Volume One, which was optioned for film by Johnny Depp’s production company, Infinitum Nihil. He lives in Mt. Holly, New Jersey.

WALT WHITMAN was an American poet, essayist, and journalist. A humanist, he was a part of the transition be-tween transcendentalism and realism, incorporating both views in his works.

Walt Whitman’s iconic collection of poems, Leaves of Grass, has earned a reputation as a

sacred American text. Whitman himself made such comparisons, going so far as to use biblical verse as a model for his own. So it’s only appropriate that artist and illustrator Allen Crawford has chosen to illuminate—like medieval monks with their holy scriptures—Whitman’s masterpiece and the core of his poetic vision, “Song of Myself.” Crawford has turned the original sixty-page poem from Whitman’s 1855 edition into a sprawling 256-page work of art. The handwritten text and illustrations intermingle in a way that’s both surprising and wholly in tune with the spirit of the poem—they’re exuberant, rough, and wild. Whitman Illuminated: Song of Myself is a sensational reading experience, an artifact in its own right, and a masterful tribute to the Good Gray Poet.
