With startling honesty and emotional precision, these poems tell the story of a woman in her twenties navigating loss, from the funeral service and her dead-end job, to her therapist's office and the subways of New York City, revealing the way her beloved's death infiltrates every corner of her life. The speaker searches for traces of the departed in unlikely places-the physics of splashes, the history of seasickness, the science of depression-while confronting the limitations of elegy and the futility of trying to contain sorrow in words. Splashed Things is not a neat arc toward healing, but a testimony to the unwieldy shape of mourning and the persistence of love in its wake. Selected by Maya C. Popa as winner of the A. Poulin, Jr. Poetry Prize for its emotional courage, inventive language, and haunting beauty, Leigh Lucas's Splashed Things marks the arrival of a powerful new voice in contemporary poetry.]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C4135301</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C4135301</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lucas, Leigh]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4135301030</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781968507046/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[We]]></title><description><![CDATA["An essential addition to the American poetic canon." -Booklist From an award-winning poet praised for his "rhapsodic, rigorous" work ( The New Yorker ) comes an immersive meditation on kindship, collectivity, and environmental thought We (The People of The United States) is a book-length poem made to the measure of the modern world. Composed of 55 sections, it features a breathtaking range of characters and concerns: The Beach Boys, Gwendolyn Brooks, the invention of the typewriter, Zora Neale Hurston, Sun Ra, life on Mars, Robert Frost, experimental physics, The Jackson 5. Throughout the collection, Bennett summons Virgil's Georgics as a lens through which to not only tell the story of his family, but a much larger one about the "form of the American mind," our relationship to the natural world, and the pursuit of a dignified, abundant life. Published the year of the nation's 250th anniversary, it is a collection that is right on time. One that calls us, as Langston Hughes once did, toward a future America that is not yet here, "and yet must be."]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C4135286</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C4135286</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bennett, Joshua]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4135286030</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593512753/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Furious Harvests]]></title><description><![CDATA[Furious Harvests transports readers to Alex Averbuch's homeland of eastern Ukraine.

The Way Disabled People Love Each Other is a fierce crip reckoning with all the ways disabled people love each other, in all our complexity. A book that will speak to any kind of griever, but particularly disabled QTBIPOC ones sitting with the endless mass grief and possibility of this time, and those with violent family from whom we still yearn to claw out beauty from the trauma rubble. It's a road map for survivors looking for something that's neither a happy Hollywood ending nor a transformative justice fairy tale-not the healing we wished for, but the healing we find anyway. This collection is a rigorous, rueful documentation of a specific time of pandemic fascist grief and possibility. Brimming with odes, elegies, and mourning songs, these poems sparkle like switchblades and offer new possibilities for love, grief, and memory.

But then-unlike her stepsister Mary Shelley-she was forgotten, until now. During the dangerous storms of The Year Without Summer, a group of famous young writers gathered at a mansion on the shores of Lake Geneva, Switzerland. Brilliant Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, her fiery fiancé Percy Shelley, the famously promiscuous Lord Byron, and John Polidori, his sexually tormented personal physician. At the group's center was Claire Clairmont, Mary's impressionable, clever, and dangerously loyal stepsister. Those months of desire, betrayal, and creative passion gave the world the works of Frankenstein , the modern vampire, and the mythic image of these Romantic literary giants. In this intense and propulsive story of love, lust, art and betrayal Claire tells her story, trying to solve the mystery of why she was all but erased from history. Claire-herself a writer-is desperate to free herself from the uncomfortable role she plays in her sister's marriage in London. Fueled by Jane Austin's romantic novels, and believing love offers freedom, Claire begins an affair with celebrity Lord Byron and convinces Mary and Shelley to follow him to Switzerland. With the threat of paparazzi lurking nearby, Claire's intimate connection to each member of the celebrity group grows more complex. Her journey of self-discovery leads her to document everyone's secrets in her journal, and when climate disaster causes food shortages, Claire learns to forage, determined to prove her worth in a world built by and created for men. The real Claire Clairmont poured her love, life, and razor-sharp wit into her pages, yet her journal from 1816 is curiously missing and each member of the group had a reason to take it. With searing relevance to our here and now-of celebrity worship, climate disaster, of complicated femininity, Love & Other Monsters is the untold origin story of Frankenstein, a feminist reckoning of sisters, survival, and the creation of monsters-both those on the page and those who walk among us.]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C4135222</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C4135222</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Franklin, Emily]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4135222030</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781567928563/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Devil of the Deep]]></title><description><![CDATA[Lu watched the love of his life walk the plank and sink into the inky-black depths of the sea.

In the round house on Via Saterna, its Palladian square exterior nothing but a trompe-l'oeil, the sun pierces through the central skylight. Its rays pass three floors unobstructed, before reaching the circle below at the heart of the house: four fingers of water filling a little silver basin. It is here that young Lidia dies, setting an end to her clandestine love affair with the ambitious architect. It is this house that real-estate agent Irene is asked to sell, decades later, as the climate catastrophe escalates, cloaking the divided city in a permanent orange haze. Returning to her native Milan for the sale, Irene feels the brunt of her father's judgement. He is a proud Italian and prouder architect-how could his own daughter make a living selling cultural patrimony to the highest foreign bidder? As she faces this new Milan and the old family tensions she had avoided while living in Rome, Irene throws herself into the impossible sale, getting to know Via Saterna intimately-this space that is as unsettling as it is hostile, with the slowly emerging traces of Lidia's interrupted life. In every room of the house, the burden of a mysterious, unresolved past can be felt, remnants of a selfish and manipulative love. The Perfect Circle tackles themes like time, death, and repetition with depth and originality, while carrying its philosophy lightly. Through it all, the novel is a subtly disturbing page-turner, every new page adding a new layer and twist.]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C4135224</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C4135224</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Petrucci, Claudia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4135224030</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781642861648/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[My Dreadful Body]]></title><description><![CDATA["Gripping, vivid . . . plainspoken and elegiac.

He's living out of his truck when a shadowy militia movement hires him to take down the legendary she-wolf of the Dark Canyon pack, One-Eleven. But One-Eleven is no ordinary wolf. Cunning, fiercely protective of her young, and seasoned in the ways of men, she leads her pack deep into the forbidding desert peaks and canyons, always one step ahead of pursuit. After a harrowing brush with death in the backcountry, Trace has a change of heart-only to be replaced by a professional hunter and assassin named Murdoch, who ruthlessly pursues his animal quarry while stalking Trace himself. To survive, Trace must join forces with a pair of unlikely allies: a survivalist animal protector who deploys feral senses and deep wilderness skills to protect the wolves, and Imogen Cruz, a local rancher, childhood friend, and unrequited love of Trace's early years. Together, they must fight to protect not only themselves and the Dark Canyon pack, but ultimately, the Gila Wilderness itself-the world's first designated wilderness area.

"Visitations is a cause for celebration. The first book of poems by Julia Alvarez in over twenty years braids miracles and mourning, infused with the compassion that characterizes all the work of this resplendent writer." -Martín Espada, National Book Award-winning author of Jailbreak of Sparrows In these poems, Alvarez traces her life gently, a fingertip following lines on a page, through memories of her childhood in the Dominican Republic, a dictatorship dramatically survived, the smells of sancocho and sofrito, the formative influence of her tías and her sisters, her move to America and the challenges of learning English, the search for mental health and beauty, redemption and success. We meet her grandchild and her mother, her lovers, visit the homes where she grew up and the homes where she grew into the formidable writer read in thousands of classrooms across America today. Her wisdom is as clear and beautiful as the light that shines through glass and yet grounded through the form and substance of self-knowing. Told with a storyteller's intimacy and the comfort of a warm hearth, this is a master writer's reflection on family, aging, love, the body, having a voice, and the very act of composing poetry itself, experienced across the arc of decades-a collection of searching for an artistic voice, for the author's very essence, until, "the way it sometimes happens: we arrive / where we were promised, belong to / what we longed for in ourselves, each other."]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C4135248</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C4135248</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Alvarez, Julia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4135248030</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>Poems</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593805046/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[What We Are Seeking]]></title><description><![CDATA[From Cameron Reed, the acclaimed author of The Fortunate Fall, comes a soaring novel of queer hope and transformation, perfect for readers of Ann Leckie and Amal El-Mohtar.

New York Times bestselling author Rachel Vincent (Soul Screamers, The Shifters) pens a dark paranormal romantasy centered on alchemy magic-and those who dare harness it. = Featuring Gold and Lockbox printed stained edges = Naked, knowing little more than her name, Amber Fallbrook does not recognize the stone tower she's awoken in, or the vast, glittering ocean beyond its window. Turning, she finds a very a different view: a beautiful, nearly nude man stirring in her bed. He is a stranger, as is the man who barges into the room seconds later, clearly expecting to find Amber alone. Who are they? Who is she? Why can't she remember? Shocked to discover that she's in her dormitory room at the Alchemary-the realm's prestigious university dedicated to the study of alchemy-Amber has no recollection of having been one of the school's top students for the past two years. The two men-brothers-are her childhood friends, even if "friends" is not exactly the energy in the room. One brother claims he wants to protect her, and the other to help her recover her memory. But nothing is at it seems at the Alchemary. Not the intentions of her classmates and faculty, not the stunning, labyrinthine campus, not the two brothers she's increasingly attracted to-maybe not even Amber herself. Despite her memory loss, Amber rejoins her classes and prepares for the deadly Alchemary Trials alongside the other Mastery-level students. But as invigorating as the flowing language and symbology of alchemy is, she can't help but notice that for an institution shining light on the quest for human perfection there are a lot of dark shadows in its winding corridors.]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C4135213</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C4135213</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Vincent, Rachel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4135213030</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A Dark Academia Alchemy Romantasy</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781368118668/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Museum of Unusual Occurrence]]></title><description><![CDATA[Welcome to the Museum of Unusual Occurrence-a place full of strange exhibits and even stranger murders.

Fairytales are for children. Until the day we awaken in a place full of monsters, being softly enveloped by the dark. Nineteen-year-old undocumented immigrant Hee-Jin lies on the floor of her cramped Seoul apartment, listening for footsteps. But the knock on the door isn't the police finally coming to deport her to North Korea. Instead, sprawled on the doorstep is a disfigured, bird-like corpse-and it has her eyes. Her younger sister, artist Hee-Young, is meant to be on an art program in America, not dead of a strange overdose. But in Hee-Young's pocket is a plane ticket and US passport. Seeing her chance for freedom, Hee-Jin steals her sister's identity and takes her place, determined to uncover what really happened to her. But the deeper she dives into the program's strange workings, the closer she gets to the monstrous secret at its heart. A page-turner of a mystery filled with gorgeous, creepy Korean folklore and imagery, Aviary, written by critically acclaimed Korean American author Maria Dong, is also a story about power, violence, exploitation - and transformation.

Now that she is back in his life, he suddenly has answers-but this unexpected reunion is not anything he's used to dealing with.
