The post card of a little girl on the cover of this book may be all that remains of a trip to France at the turn of the century, a remnant of someone's life and travels. The concept of "remnant" is an interesting one. We can think of remnants as what is left over from a larger entity, as in scraps of wood from building a dog house or pieces of cloth cut from around a sewing pattern. Thus, remnants are "parts" left from making a "whole." In many cases, remnants are discarded, but it is also true that parts can be assembled to make a whole once again as in scraps of cloth sewn together to construct a quilt. All our lives we deal with remnants in some form or another. For instance, memories are remnants of childhood, vacations and past relationships. Photographs are also reminiscent of many stages of our lives. Some consider objects such as toys, clothing, furniture and souvenirs as remnants of a time gone by. When you think about it, after an event occurs, all we have left are memories, feelings, objects and photographs. These are remnants of a larger whole that may no longer exist, but what remains helps us to at least partially reconstruct it. The poetry in this book represents slices of many lives that could be considered remnants, little snips that might fall to the floor unnoticed except for those of us who use them as the subjects of our narratives. The poems concern simple events such as going to the mailbox, walking through an empty home, examining items donated to a thrift store, winding a clock, finding a dead relative's watch or going to the grocery store. The characters range from a homeless man in a large city to a Native American woman in Colorado to a Saint who lived in the year 850 AD. There are college professors, crazy people and a woman who is dead, but still conscious. It is my hope that by examining these remnants the reader will be able to mentally reconstruct the more detailed and rich events that they represent.

A groundbreaking and profoundly moving exploration of the Armenian genocide, told through the traces left in the memories and on the bodies of its women survivors. Foremost among the images of the Armenian Genocide is the specter of tattooed Islamized Armenian women. Blue tribal tattoos that covered face and body signified assimilation into Muslim Bedouin and Kurdish households. Among Armenians, the tattooed survivor was seen as a living ethnomartyr or, alternatively, a national stain, and the bodies of women and children figured centrally within the Armenian communal memory and humanitarian imaginary. In Remnants, these tattooed and scar-bearing bodies reveal a larger history, as the lived trauma of genocide is understood through bodies, skin, and—in what remains of those lives a century afterward—bones. With this book, Elyse Semerdjian offers a feminist reading of the Armenian Genocide. She explores how the Ottoman Armenian communal body was dis-membered, disfigured, and later re-membered by the survivor community. Gathering individual memories and archival fragments, she writes a deeply personal history, and issues a call to break open the archival record in order to embrace affect and memory. Traces of women and children rescued during and after the war are reconstructed to center the quietest voices in the historical record. This daring work embraces physical and archival remnants, the imprinted negatives of once living bodies, as a space of radical possibility within Armenian prosthetic memory and a necessary way to recognize the absence that remains.

The town of New Eden, peopled with hereditary oddities, has arrived at its last days. As two near-centenarian citizens prepare for their annual birthday tea, a third vows to interrupt the proceedings with a bold declaration. The Remnants cartwheels rambunctiously through the lives of wood-splitters, garment-menders, and chervil farmers, while exposing an electrical undercurrent of secrets, taboos, and unfulfilled longings. With his signature wit and wordplay, Robert Hill delivers a bittersweet gut-buster of an elegy to the collective memory of a community.

The American Indian author of Black Eagle Child paints “a portrait of a writer struggling both to preserve his people’s heritage and to turn it into art” (The New York Times Book Review). Ray A. Young Bear’s work has been called “magnificent” by the New York Times and “a national treasure” by the Bloomsbury Review. Dazzlingly original, but with deep roots in his traditional Mesquakie culture, Young Bear is a master wordsmith poised with trickster-like aplomb between the ancient world of his forefathers and the ever-encroaching “blurred face of modernity.” Remnants of the First Earth continues the story of Edgar Bearchild—Young Bear’s fictionalized alter ego—which began with Black Eagle Child, a New York Times Notable Book for 1992. Young Bear revisits the Black Eagle Child Settlement and its residents, including Ted Facepaint, Rose Grassleggings, Junior Pipestar, Lorna Bearcap, and Luciano Bearchild. At the center of the novel is a murder investigation involving a powerful shaman holding court at the local Ramada Inn, negligent white cops from nearby Why Cheer, and corrupt tribal authorities. This lyrical narrative swirls through the present and into the mysteries of the age-old stories and myths that still haunt, inform, and enlighten this uniquely American community. “Young Bear’s prose pulses with lyrical ferocity, blending narrative, verse and tribal myth in a seamless web . . . Young Bear, an acclaimed poet, here emerges as a major Native novelist.” —Publishers Weekly

"In this memoir, I explore how memories of my childhood home influence how I create and define home and family in the present. The first collection is comprised of vignettes that shift in a memory-informed, unchronological order across twenty-four years and seven places where I lived. These snapshots of my past life are written in the present tense to demonstrate the narrative act of reinhabiting my past experiences. The second collection is a series of lyric essays considering my family within our home during a series of moments from one morning to the next"--Abstract.

Our favorite moral philosopher is caught up in a delicate dispute between members of a prominent family as her husband, Jamie, is dragged into his own internecine rivalry. Isabel accepts an invitation to serve on the advisory committee of the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, but soon finds herself swept up in an all-too-familiar dilemma. David is the grandson of a Scottish clan chief and is supportive of Scottish nationalism. But his fervent beliefs are threatening family harmony, especially because his sister Catriona's socialist views put her at odds with her brother. When their mother, Laura, a fellow committee member, asks Isabel to intervene, she tries to demur. But always one for courteous resolutions to philosophical disagreements, Isabel can't help but intercede. In the meantime, Jamie, having criticized Isabel for getting involved in the affairs of others, does precisely that himself. Jamie is helping to select a new cellist for his ensemble, but he suspects that the conductor may be focused on something other than his favored candidate's cello skills. With so many factors complicating matters, Isabel and Jamie will have to muster all their tact and charm to ensure that comity is reached between all these fractious parties.
