U.S. and Them: The Re-Enchantment of a Cold War Childhood
In this memoir of growing up in the 1960s Cold War, Patricia Bjorklund narrates a girlhood filled with John Birch Society activism, racial tensions, concepts of sin and hell, and the ominous and omnipresent fears of nuclear apocalypse--and, conversely, the glowing redemptive powers of hope and happiness.

For Mr. Raindrinker
Meet Kent Soileau, a young man from a Cajun-speaking New Orleans family. Kent lives an upside-down life as a professional job-hopper and as an inmate of a nut house. He has assembled an impressive resume of diverse and comical experiences, from being a driver for Mississippi River-boat pilots, to a French Quarter bartender, to a genetics research associate. Kent is a true searcher, whether searching for food, a place to stay, happiness— or the meaning of life. Thanks to his friendship with the indomitable Mr. Raindrinker, Kent’s life takes some amazing but good turns. Not since John Kennedy Toole’s A Confederacy of Dunces have readers been taken on such a big and easy ride through America’s greatest city.

Blood at the Root
Blood at the Root is a quirky novel set in southern Louisiana, a fly-on-thewall look at an aspect of New Orleans culture that borders magic, imagination, sex, and the sisterly bonds that stretch beyond death. If Blood at the Root feels authentic, that is because Lee Grue is a true authority on New Orleans, having been steeped in the pungent atmosphere of the city for most of her life. Lee Grue writes what she knows: a festinating tale betwixt Camilla Jane, High John the Conqueror, and Creeping Jesus.

Like That: New and Selected Poems
In this collection of poetry, Sybil Pittman Estess takes readers on an intensely personal journey, a deep exploration of life in contemporary America. "These are poems of witness," says 2008 Texas Poet Laureate Larry Thomas. "...of witness to a life fully lived, of witness to birth, friendship, death, and the unforgiving pain of loss; and of witness to a world rife with the wounds of global warming, the violence of guns, yet a world still teeming with transient beauty."
