Well, apparently he has written a number of poetry books around love and colors. I'm, frankly, a little apprehensive it's all sentiment and doggerel, but so often recommended! We'll see!

Not sure what I'm getting into here, but this is a massive collection of matriarchal worlds and politics and Asian themes and steampunk and horror? In any event, the artwork is beautiful, so I'm counting on Liu's writing to match!

This hooks masterpiece should be required reading. Not simply, there is nothing objective or neutral about any act of educating. Our active awareness here can only make us better at our craft.

Everyone is excited to talk about Green Gables Montgomery's "darker side," and these are definitely more adult, but from a far simple, even quaint, age of gentle spooky tales.

Short one I missed earlier, clearly his wrestling both with prejudice, feminism, and LGBTQIA+ issues. None too subtle, perhaps, clumsy too, but still a pleasure for his characters and pacing work.

Freire always resisted "method" for his philosophy for obvious reasons: engaged humans aren't formulas. Even so, here he relents (a very little) to offer teachers some more direct ideas about his thinking in a series of short letters. Wonderful!

Some internal politics as an indigenous artist dares to create with nuance and irony. Can the modern political native tolerate it? Vizenor is candid, funny, and subtle all at once!

God decides to downsize and lays off Death, who then finds herself demoted to a strange kind of mortality. Not sure where this is going to go . . .
