“Mesmerizing. . . . Relentlessly empathetic, these essays reframe nonhuman beings as individuals worthy of respect. Readers will be moved.”—PUBLISHERS WEEKLY “A passionate paean to life’s wonders.” —KIRKUS “[Mandy-Suzanne Wong] has made sea snails totally present on the page, magically uncurling their opaque inner worlds, making them resonant subjects of marvel and love. . . . Daughter of Mother-of-Pearl is up there with some of my favorite animal writing of the past decade.”—Ania Szremski, 4COLUMNS “Wong’s investigations undulate, beckoning an embrace of the unknowable, and with it a call to better coexistence.”—ORION
“Triage is stunning. In this blend of essay, memoir, fabulation, and criticism, the intimate encounters between the narrator and the theorist offer an extended meditation on the collective devastation of the present. The beauty of Rankine’s dense, elliptical sentences guides us through.” —SAIDIYA HARTMAN
Renée Nicole Good was a poet.
“Part of what’s appealing to me about games like Persona 5 is how they ask what we can do to intervene in a broken world. The protagonist and his growing team of companions are able to infiltrate the subconscious worlds of people in power and ‘change their heart,’ after which they acknowledge and take responsibility for the harm they’ve caused. . . . What if we could pluck trauma out like a rotten tooth?” —Marlin M. Jenkins, from “Versions and Voices”

“There is work to be done, there / is work here that can be done. I gather tulips in / every color, I plant more chestnut trees, I catch / more fish. I tell myself J is not bleeding. They / are sleeping. I tell myself G is not sick yet. I do / not have a body as long as they have bodies. I / ask the ghost bears for another job. We do not / have bodies as long as I play the game.” —Adrie Rose, from “Dear,”
