    Marge Piercy
    ISBN: 978-1-62963-105-9
    128 pages

    In a candid and intimate new collection of essays, poems, memoirs, reviews, rants, and railleries, Piercy discusses her own development as a working-class feminist, the highs and lows of TV culture, the ego-dances of a writer’s life, the homeless and the housewife, Allen Ginsberg and Marilyn Monroe, feminist utopias (and why she doesn’t live in one), why fiction isn’t physics; and of course, fame, sex, and money, not necessarily in that order. The short essays, poems, and personal memoirs intermingle like shards of glass that shine, reflect—and cut. Always personal yet always political, Piercy’s work is drawn from a deep well of feminist and political activism.
    Also featured is our Outspoken Interview, in which the author lays out her personal rules for living on Cape Cod, finding your poetic voice, and making friends in Cuba.
    â€œMarge Piercy is not just an author, she’s a cultural touchstone. Few writers in modern memory have sustained her passion, and skill, for creating stories of consequence.”

    â€œOne of the most important poets of our time.”

    Nalo Hopkinson
    ISBN: 978-1-60486-497-7
    128 pages

    Nalo Hopkinson has been busily (and wonderfully) “subverting the genre” since her first novel,
Brown Girl in the Ring
, won a Locus Award for SF and Fantasy in 1999. Since then she has acquired a prestigious World Fantasy Award, a legion of adventurous and aware fans, a reputation for intellect seasoned with humor, and a place of honor in the short list of SF writers who are tearing down the walls of category and transporting readers to previously unimagined planets and realms.
    Never one to hold her tongue, Hopkinson takes on sexism and racism in publishing in “Report from Planet Midnight,” a historic and controversial presentation to her colleagues and fans.
    Plus …
    â€œMessage in a Bottle,” a radical new twist on the time travel tale that demolishes the sentimental myth of childhood innocence; and “Shift,” a tempestuous erotic adventure in which Caliban gets the girl. Or does he?
    And Featuring: our Outspoken Interview, an intimate one-on-one that delivers a wealth of insight, outrage, irreverence, and top-secret Caribbean spells.
    â€œA genuine vitality and generosity … one of the more important and original voices in SF.”

Publishers Weekly
    â€œOut-of-the-ordinary science fiction.”
    â€”
Kirkus Reviews
    â€œThe plot and style get an early grip on you, the reader, and you don’t let go till story’s end. Hopkinson is a genuine find!”
