Country of Glass by Sarah Katz is unsettlingly beautiful in both language and its harsh reminder of how fragile our systems are, from bodies to countries. And somehow, the fragile nature of both is explained in short, yet striking verse.

By Maria Newsom As executor of my late great Uncle Harry’s estate, my mother inherited a box of short stories. Miraculously, this collection of hand-typed, double-spaced sheets of medium-weight paper survived four cellar floods in my parents’ Brooklyn home. Each time the waters abated, mom was relieved to find the box dry. Still, it never came upstairs. Eventually, my parents moved upstate, and the box moved to a new basement. It still hadn’t come above ground when I visited them last summer and found it downstairs, wedged between rolls of Santa Claus paper and a dust-shrouded set of Encyclopedia Britannica.

By Amy Lee Although the November mid-term election seem faraway now, I survived that stress by joining the Feminist Book Club. The November theme was, "Women in Politics". I was relieved to find my new tribe of like-minded feminist souls via this online community.
The Feminist Book Club invites its members to vote on the book of the month (or swap for an alternative). The November book was: "The Three Mothers: How the Mothers of Martin Luther King, JR., Malcolm X, and James Baldwin shaped a Nation" by Anna Malaika Tubbs. I was excited to receive this book as I grappled with the joys and anxieties of motherhood, as well as reconciling my feminist views. How do I best guide my son to be an ally to feminism and hopefully a champion to a fair and just society? The Breadcrumbs widget will appear here on the published site.
By Mario Fenech In an alternate universe, Roberta Leigh did not approach Gerry Anderson and Arthur Provis to produce a puppet television series. Fans of the many subsequent puppet television series which came out of the collaboration would shudder to think that some of their favorite shows might not have come into existence.
