SUMMARY:Jeffrey Eugenides
DESCRIPTION:Jeffrey Eugenides bestselling novels\, including Middlesex\, The Marriage Plot\, and The Virgin Suicides\, show him to be an astute observer of the crisis of adolescence\, sexual identity\, self-discovery\, and what it means to be an American in our times.  His new short story collection Fresh Complaint continues that tradition. Ranging from the reproductive antics of “Baster” to the wry\, moving account of a young traveler’s search for enlightenment in “Air Mail” (selected by Annie Proulx for The Best American Short Stories 1997)\, this collection presents characters in the midst of personal and national crises. We meet a failed poet who\, envious of other people’s wealth during the real-estate bubble\, becomes an embezzler; a clavichordist whose dreams of art collapse under the obligations of marriage and fatherhood; and\, in “Bronze\,” a sexually confused college freshman whose encounter with a stranger on a train leads to a revelation about his past and his future. Narratively compelling\, beautifully written\, and packed with a density of ideas that belie their fluid grace\, Fresh Complaint proves Eugenides to be a master of the short form as well as the long.

SUMMARY:Susan Kolodny + Carolyne Wright
DESCRIPTION:Susan Kolodny’s new book of poems is Preserve. Robert Thomas says\, “Susan Kolodny’s moving new collection begins with her arrival in Botswana and tells the story of a journey that transforms her understanding of herself and her own culture…Kolodny is unsentimental about the challenges that game preserves face…and the book itself becomes a Preserve she creates to save a world whose survival is at risk.” Her first collection is After the Firestorm. She’s also a psychoanalyst and author of The Captive Muse: On Creativity and its Inhibition. \nCarolyne Wright’s new book of poems is This Dream the World: New & Selected Poems. David Axelrod says\, “The language of Carolyne Wright’s poems is as rich\, diverse\, and bursting with life as the natural world of the coastal Northwest she calls home; but her home is the world\, much of which she has traveled. Her poems engage that larger world and the lives of its citizens\, their history\, turmoil\, and jeopardy. Hers is a poetry both of celebration and of sober courage.” Author of numerous previous collections\, including A Change of Maps\, she is co-editor of Raising Lily Ledbetter: Women Poets Occupy the Workspace\, a groundbreaking anthology. She is also a translator who has published five books of translation from both Spanish and Bengali. In addition\, she has published a book of essays\, and has received a Fulbright and a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship. She lives in Seattle.
