Zoe Clark is back in Chicago, and she already wants to run. But she can never turn her back on her monstrous hometown again. Grief, technology, isolation, and emptiness keep her up at night. Or maybe it's the coffee. Her brain feels like a mosquito trapped in amber, ready to be found in 65 million years by an enterprising paleontologist. Full of anxiety, humor, philosophy, and grief, The Only Living Girl in Chicago is a stunning coming-of-age novel, a later bloomer's bible in constant, dizzying motion.

Katie Hartsock’s Bed of Impatiens is astir in myths and mythmaking in the backdrop of the grit, waters, scenes and atmospheres of the Midwest. While its tributes to Saint Augustine’s Confessions are by turns meditative and daring, its travelogue of “Hotels, Motels, and Extended Stays” is quirky, irreverent and, yes, delightful. In Bed of Impatiens you can feel “the bliss/ and the burning too.” Little wonder it is a finalist in the 2015 Able Muse Book Award. PRAISE FOR BED OF IMPATIENS: Has American poetry ever produced a fresher, savvier, grittier, more elegant, and drop-dead formally exhilarating sequence than Katie Hartsock’s “Hotels, Motels, and Extended Stays”? If so, I’ve yet to see it. Hartsock is as deft (and loving) with the vulgarities of truck stop rent-by-the-hour as with the secret wit of rhyme, or the venerables of Homeric epic: her range and her inventiveness appear to know no limit. And this is just a fraction of what bursts to life in Bed of Impatiens. I’m dazzled by the sheer bounty of it. -Linda Gregerson Like René Magritte I want to paint “This is not a first book” under this first book. It is Lolita all grown up and taking us on a cross-country tour of the motels she stayed in with Humbert. It’s St. Augustine as Dennis Rodman, elbowing us out of position underneath God’s basket. But it’s not a cacophony of surrealism. Ms. Hartsock’s classical training-her knowledge and powerful rhythms-is the ground, the spine of this book (pun intended); but the excitement is watching the ancient and the contemporary meet in an explosion of true Form. -James Cummins Katie Hartsock’s Bed of Impatiens characteristic vantage includes landscapes derelict and macabre, like the flooded grave in the first poem, and the endless highways of the US, with their extended-stay motels and the ghosts that inhabit them. Hartsock is a sharp and clever reader of the books of nature and of art, yet writes in nobody’s shadow. -Mary Kinzie What truth to find in a world whose rivers “we cannot swim in and no/ cannot drink the water/ cannot imagine that,” a land of “seedless sweetness” and dank motels that are its monuments to transience? Katie Hartsock’s answer in her ambitious first collection, Bed of Impatiens, is to wander and “let the weather in,” to keep recalibrating her position in an ever-shifting poetic landscape. -Lee Sharkey Katie Hartsock is attracted to “beauty in otherwise unlovely place.” An often amused and goodhearted spirit sets the tone of some of Hartsock’s poems, but the long historical and literary view of this poet also encompasses the tragic. Open to encounter, memory, feeling, avid for them, eloquent about them, these poems. -Reginald Gibbons (from the foreword)

"Every day is the anniversary of some historical or cultural moment in the great city of Chicago. Whether it's the dedication of the Pablo Picasso sculpture downtown on August 15, or the arrest of Rod Blagojevich at his Ravenswood home on December 9, or a fire that possibly involved a cow on October 8, each day is redolent with the power of the past. Here, acerbic Chicago Sun-Times columnist Neil Steinberg takes us on a tour of the year, illuminating the famous, obscure, tragic, and hilarious elements that make each day in Chicago one to remember"--

In Escape from Paradise, Dr. Hathorn details her life's journey from Paradise cotton plantation to receiving her doctorate degree on the stage of Zellerbach Hall on the campus of the University of California at Berkeley. You will laugh and cry with her as she travels the circuitous route life has led her from goal to goal. Experience gained from years of working in both inner city and well-equipped private schools gives Dr. Hathorn the expertise needed to keep students encouraged to experience a measure of success daily. Her writings will inspire the reader to try the thing that has never been done before and stick with a task to the end. Never quit! Never give in! Never give up! Dr. Pauline Pearson Hathorn is an educator extraordinaire. Born during the Great Depression on Paradise cotton plantation in Dover, Mississippi, she along with many of her contemporaries is a living example of overcoming and successfully traversing life's uncrossable rivers. Dr. Hathorn is living proof that mountains can be removed with sheer tenacity through the grace of God. Education for her began in a non-descript, unpainted, one-room shack on the side of a dusty road bordering a cotton field. From this modest beginning she completed her elementary education in the parochial school in Yazoo City and high school at the Natchez College Baptist Seminary at Natchez, Mississippi. She earned the Bachelor of Science and Master's degree at Jackson State University in Jackson, Mississippi. Later, defying age she earned the Doctor of Education degree from the University of California, at Berkeley at the age of 71. Dr. Hathorn has taught in the public and private schools of Mississippi and San Jose, California. Presently, she is employed by Hinds Community College in the Adult Education Program at the Voice of Calvary Empowerment Center in Jackson, Mississippi.

The importance of Chicago in American culture has made the city's place in the American imagination a crucial topic for literary scholars and cultural historians. While databases of bibliographical information on Chicago-centered fiction are available, they are of little use to scholars researching works written before the 1980s. In The Chicago of Fiction: A Resource Guide, James A. Kaser provides detailed synopses for more than 1,200 works of fiction significantly set in Chicago and published between 1852 and 1980. The synopses include plot summaries, names of major characters, and an indication of physical settings. An appendix provides bibliographical information for works dating from 1981 well into the 21st century, while a biographical section provides basic information about the authors, some of whom are obscure and would be difficult to find in other sources. Written to assist researchers in locating works of fiction for analysis, the plot summaries highlight ways in which the works touch on major aspects of social history and cultural studies (i.e., class, ethnicity, gender, immigrant experience, and race). The book is also a useful reader advisory tool for librarians and readers who want to identify materials for leisure reading, particularly since genre, juvenile, and young adult fiction, as well as literary fiction, are included.

"Joe Nickell - once a carnival pitchman, then a magician, private detective, and investigative writer - has pursued sideshow secrets for years and has worked the famous carnival midway at the Canadian National Exhibition. For this book, he interviewed showmen and performers, collected carnival memorabilia, researched published accounts of sideshows and their lore, and even performed some classic sideshow feats, such as eating fire and lying on a bed of nails as a cinderblock was broken on his chest. The result of these varied efforts, Secrets of the Sideshows tells the captivating story of the magic, tricks - real or illusory - and performers of the world's midway shows."--BOOK JACKET.
